The silhouette just feels like " me" to me. It is aha all the way. But it rides up. If it were a little more flowy it might slide back, but the elastisized ruching kinda stays. I was prepared to eat my words totally on the length otherwise( where it is in the photo ).</p> <p> Suz, no Tall! I had the same thought! I didn't think I could size up due to the fit in the bodice and neckline, but it's sold out anyway. Or i was almost wondering if the quality control is poor enough that another dress in same size would run larger! </p> <p>So I found an aspirational style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/at-dolman-dress-not-for-me-but-someone-else-maybe#post-1283857 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 02:35:03 +0000 Jules 1283857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice dress. I like that the sleeves provide quite a bit of coverage without screaming "sleeves" if that makes any sense. I don't think it looks too short, but migrating clothing tends to make me adjust all day long even when it's not necessary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/at-dolman-dress-not-for-me-but-someone-else-maybe#post-1283846 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 02:15:05 +0000 Peri 1283846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered that dress and returned it also. Now I can't remember why because Forced Shopping June is more like flood of returns June! But something was off about the fit on me also, so I will say that it looks great, but you know if it doesn't feel great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/at-dolman-dress-not-for-me-but-someone-else-maybe#post-1283825 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 01:40:13 +0000 Janet 1283825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it looks too short at all -- on the contrary, the length looks really nice on you. It's a great dress on you, but you have to feel great in it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/at-dolman-dress-not-for-me-but-someone-else-maybe#post-1283761 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:40:16 +0000 fuzzylogic 1283761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow- I admire your self control! If I looked this good in an item I would buy it and try desperately to MAKE it work! Bwahaha! </p> <p>That said, if it rides up it won't ever be comfy and you will be less likely to reach for it.... So back it goes, then!</p> <p>Hope you find 'your' dress, unfrumped! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/at-dolman-dress-not-for-me-but-someone-else-maybe#post-1283760 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:40:11 +0000 Elizabeth P 1283760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Suz!&nbsp; I think this looks wonderful on you, and I also think the length is great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/at-dolman-dress-not-for-me-but-someone-else-maybe#post-1283754 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:34:21 +0000 Suz 1283754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, no..I <b>LOVE LOVE LOVE</b> it on you!!! Seriously -- it is one of the nicest items I've seen on you yet! Adore. I would buy it myself if I had a need.&nbsp;</p> <p>But..is there any seam allowance to let it down a smidgen? Honestly, it does not look too short on you as shown, but I do understand your wish for knee covering. I just think...this is so fab.&nbsp;</p> <p>Do they &nbsp;make it in tall?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/at-dolman-dress-not-for-me-but-someone-else-maybe#post-1283746 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:11:20 +0000 unfrumped 1283746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, tricia--it is one of those "so close" things.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>But, it might point me toward identifying similar styles or fabrics; also while I'd still prefer colors in the burgundy or berry range, I'm learning that a sort of softer dark blue can work, so I'm not ruling that out in looking, either. That's&nbsp;what I&nbsp;discovered when&nbsp;I started wearing &nbsp;some denim or dark chambray-type tops. Whereas, typical dark navy is not so good. So maybe something similar will turn up.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/at-dolman-dress-not-for-me-but-someone-else-maybe#post-1283743 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:05:55 +0000 lyn* 1283743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love ink and navy, but it's probably too short for me. Bah.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/at-dolman-dress-not-for-me-but-someone-else-maybe#post-1283739 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:01:28 +0000 tricia w. 1283739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While your photo is dark, the dress seems to look really good on you; but I understand about not feeling right in something.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/at-dolman-dress-not-for-me-but-someone-else-maybe#post-1283726 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 22:46:14 +0000 unfrumped 1283726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this AT dolman sleeve dress--Angie may have featured it at one time. I hadn't tried it because &nbsp;expected it would be too short, and also I'm&nbsp; not a navy-person,&nbsp;&nbsp;but finally gave it a go because I liked the style.</p> <p>Sadly, it IS too short and not just as shown, but the ruched waist wants to find its way up to my narrowest part and so the&nbsp;hem will come up higher, and it's a bit snug through the hips. The color is actually ok, not my "best" but it's slightly&nbsp;softer than navy. The crepe fabric has a&nbsp; nice drape, and it's a very nice simple style--I need something "almost like this but...."</p> <p>I think someone else here should get it, especially all the navy/ink fans !</p> <p>My photo is so dark,&nbsp;but &nbsp;Find shows it better. </p>
