I've got one on order but I'll be keeping my expectations low. It is definitely funny how two similar dresses can fit so differently! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-green-dress#post-370977 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 07:34:20 +0000 Aunty 370977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have a dress maker near you? Could you have the dress copied in different fabrics? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-green-dress#post-370928 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 02:57:07 +0000 Kyle 370928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, thank you. I ran across this in the store, tried it on, and was crestfallen. It had all the makings of a real winner, but it just did not work on me...at all. Funny how that happens sometimes, isn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-green-dress#post-370925 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 02:43:31 +0000 Laura 370925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kyle, did you see this one? It's got an awfully similar cut, but with a very different color palette.</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/maggy-london-stripe-jersey-sheath-dress/3169118?origin=keywordsearch&#038;resultback=965" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ma.....ltback=965</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-green-dress#post-370845 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 00:10:56 +0000 Claudia 370845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sigh. You look beautiful in this great dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-green-dress#post-370810 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 23:13:49 +0000 Beth 370810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kyle, you look jaw-dropping in this dress. Simply gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-green-dress#post-370743 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 21:33:13 +0000 Kyle 370743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, I usually wear a size 6 or 8, depending on a range of factors. Although the fabric has lots of stretch, it is a very form fitting, body hugging style (though thankfully, the ruching is forgiving). With that in mind, if you are torn between two sizes, you might want to err on the larger rather than smaller side. If you are generally one specific size, I'd stick with what you usually wear. Overall, I think the dress isnessentially true to size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-green-dress#post-370741 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 21:22:57 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 370741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for posting this picture! I couldn't visualise it on and am so pleased you showed how FAB it is! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-green-dress#post-370676 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 18:08:55 +0000 suzanne 370676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look absolutely lovely!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-green-dress#post-370672 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 17:57:43 +0000 Anonymous 370672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! You look great. I've been hemming and hawing over this dress. I want it, but I need it to come down in price first. I'm 5'10" also and this dress is the answer to a lot of my fashion prayers. If I might ask, does it run small, true to size or large? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-green-dress#post-370661 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 17:33:56 +0000 greenglove 370661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unbelievable- makes me want to buy that dress- you are so tall and leggy and the color is gorgeous!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-green-dress#post-370489 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 03:12:26 +0000 Freckles 370489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so stunning in this lovely piece and I love how you've styled it with the shoes and cuff. No wonder you are looking for more like it...good luck next season! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-green-dress#post-370486 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 03:07:23 +0000 Kyle 370486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Erin, I'm 5'10" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-green-dress#post-370449 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 02:14:35 +0000 taylor 370449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, yes, I remember this stunner!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-green-dress#post-370440 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 02:08:35 +0000 Suz 370440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is stunning on you! No wonder you love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-green-dress#post-370433 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 01:45:43 +0000 Erin 370433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kyle, how tall are you? (asking because the dress on you is a great length) I am 5'7 and I have a hard time with dress length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-green-dress#post-370416 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 01:12:06 +0000 Kyle 370416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good grief. This dress got a five-star rating on the Nordstrom site. I wish the retailers would take notice of the styles we love. It's quite clear from discussions on YLF that there is a market for longer hemlines, and many in that market are ready to buy. It's a big gap just waiting to be filled. In the meantime, I'm sewing my own dress, with a hemline of my choosing, though sadly I don't think it will be a match for Suzy Chin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-green-dress#post-370415 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 01:06:57 +0000 Debora 370415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm crying along with you! I haven't found one dress this season that is long enough! I'm the same height as Angie and have encountered the exact same thing. </p> <p>Kyle, the green dress is amazing on you! I have a purple Suzi Chin for Maggie Boutique winter dress that I have posted before on the forum, and I love that it is long enough and has sleeves. After seeing your dress, I think I am going to look more into that label and see what else they offer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-green-dress#post-370412 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 01:02:19 +0000 Angie 370412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You in that dress *is* one in a million :). KILLER to the power of KILLER. </p> <p>I hear you, Kyle. It's just not a dress season - as was forecast. It's a trouser season - and you scored with those too! Most dresses are just too short - even for me and I am regular height. Hardly any woven dresses, and most with plunging necklines and cap sleeves. </p> <p>It's been a bad dress season </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-green-dress#post-370408 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 00:58:58 +0000 CK 370408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The neckline looks too high for me, but it certainly looks fab on you, Kyle! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-green-dress#post-370404 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 00:52:28 +0000 Erin 370404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is amazing on you. I really liked it before but it is really fab on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-green-dress#post-370403 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 00:43:10 +0000 Mellllls 370403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ah, very cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-green-dress#post-370400 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 00:38:33 +0000 Kyle 370400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>M, it's a Suzy Chin for Maggie Boutique, shown here, and available at Nordstrom.<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/suzi-chin-maggy-boutique-dolman-sleeve-jersey-sheath-dress/3161331?cm_cat=datafeed&#038;cm_ite=suzi_chin_maggy_boutique_dolman_sleeve_jersey_sheath_dress:346230&#038;cm_pla=dresses:women:dress&#038;cm_ven=Froogle&#038;mr:referralID=NA&#038;mr:trackingCode=BE7CF2D5-D966-E011-9D0B-001517B1882A" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/su.....1517B1882A</a><br /> I love this dress, and others seem to feel the same.

I have it, as do others. I may speak for all of us when I ask, "where are all the other fab dresses that are flattering, versatile, classic, yet contemporary, and long enough, etc., etc.?" If I had 4 or 5 equally fab dresses, I'd be tempted to clear my closet of most everything else because the green dress rocks. Is it just one in a million? </p>
