In the second set of photos I really like the shorts rolled shorter and they look great with black - way cooler than what Scouts get to wear.</p> <p>The blue dress and floral dresses are both lovely and I think the blue skirt is a winner too. If the dress in #5 is scratchy send that back, you can do better than that and I know for me if something is not comfortable or easy to wear, I will generally pass on it and just grab my jeans which are always comfy to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/auditioning-some-styles-kr#post-2226530 Thu, 23 Sep 2021 17:07:51 +0000 Angie 2226530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES! Well done on the styling update.

I think the shorts work longer and shorter moreso than in between, if that makes sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/auditioning-some-styles-kr#post-2226310 Wed, 22 Sep 2021 23:01:05 +0000 Jonesy 2226310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto what Angie said! I really like the shorts but to my eye, loose legs look great on the shorter side, so I prefer them cuffed like you've done in the latest batch of pics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/auditioning-some-styles-kr#post-2226304 Wed, 22 Sep 2021 22:44:10 +0000 Katerina 2226304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven’t read the other comments yet and my faves are based on the pictures only. My favorite is the solid blue dress in no 4. I also like the shorts in no 1-2, they look very pretty on you - good fit. Can be styled in many ways. I also really like the dress in no 3 - perfect casual dress for hot days and looks great on you. No 6 is nice - more classic feminine, but if I would choose only one dress, it would be no 4. I am not a fan of no 5. I am unsure about the skirt in 6-8… the colour and length are nice, but difficult to style with tops, vill it boss you around? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/auditioning-some-styles-kr#post-2226290 Wed, 22 Sep 2021 22:05:33 +0000 slim cat 2226290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Better angle in new pics - skirt’ length looks better. Black tops work well with cobalt blue skirt - jewelry, scarf for added color/fun elements?.. Maybe short ( or medium length ) necklace. Shorts are so good in shorter version- shows your slim legs ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/auditioning-some-styles-kr#post-2226273 Wed, 22 Sep 2021 21:19:30 +0000 Sally 2226273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>@DonnaF</b> I could try a size down in the skirt.&nbsp; The dresses are all pretty fitted at the bust area and I don't know if I would feel comfortable if the shorts were tighter. I've tried them shorter.&nbsp; See pics above.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><b>@sloper </b>- I think with dress 5 the material feels heavy as well as shapeless but yes I might be able to try a fitted cardigan with pic 4 or just get used to the shape as a new silhouette for me. It is certainly comfortable.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/auditioning-some-styles-kr#post-2226268 Wed, 22 Sep 2021 21:14:12 +0000 Sally 2226268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone.&nbsp; I was asleep while you were answering my request for help but I have got up and tried some of the suggestions.&nbsp; It has also highlighted that I need to fish out my summer sandals get myself some more woven t-shirts/graphic t-shirts, singlets etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><b>@ suntiger</b> I'm keeping 6. I have some bamboo style flat sandals I will try with the skirt too.&nbsp;<br /><b>@staysfit</b> I have tried to the skirt with a more fitting top and tried the drapey top with the fitting shorts.&nbsp; I have also tried making the shorts shorter and I think it is better like that or with the longer short version.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><b>@lozz_Oz</b> I am getting persuaded on the navy shirt dress.&nbsp; It is a very light fabric and I"m wearing a slip underneath.&nbsp; I've tried the skirt at my natural waist line.&nbsp; It is size 10 (Aus/NZ) and while the waistband is comfortably loose, I don't know if I would want it tighter.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><b>@Janet - </b>I have tried the shorter short option and it would just be a case of me moving the button up.&nbsp; Do you think it is worth it?&nbsp; I did try some <b></b>options with the skirt.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />Thank you Phoebe<br /><b>@RobinF</b> - Interesting that you like the two looser dresses.&nbsp; I suppose it is personal preference.&nbsp; I think i might keep the shirt dress and would like to replace the buttons&nbsp;<br /><b>@cat 2</b>- The top is a little big for me but I am trying it over tighter things and might try and knot it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><b>@Joy</b> - thank you.&nbsp; I am getting persuaded on the navy shirt dress, but as you say it is important that I feel good in it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><b>@Helena</b> - I can see why people like 4.&nbsp; I probably just need to give it a good iron and try different shoes.&nbsp; It would be good for work.&nbsp;<br /><b>@Rachylou</b> - Yes I think 3 and 5 are out even though Angie thinks 5 has potential, I don't like the feel of the fabric<br /><b>@slim cat.</b>&nbsp; I hear you about the tops.&nbsp; I have lost weight and I do have a tendency to buy big tops anyway in an attempt to hide my tummy.&nbsp; I tried it with slimmer tops, but I need to get some nicer ones.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><b>@Angie </b>I do see what you mean about number 4.&nbsp; I think it might be nice with a bright cardigan and it is very soft fabric.&nbsp; Number 5 has a heavy fabric which is a bit scratchy.&nbsp; I did try the shorts with black but think I need to get some better t-shirts as many of mine are too.&nbsp; I have also tried the skirt with different tops.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />pic 1 - 2 tank top and skirt - I don't know if I would want the skirt smaller. Perhaps it is just my shape that makes it look big.&nbsp;<br />pic 3 with cropped cardigan<br />pic 4 with white t-shirt and denim jacket<br />pic 5 - shorts long<br />pic 6-8 shorts shortened. - did a back photo too as I was worried that the shorts make my bottom look flatter.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/auditioning-some-styles-kr#post-2226267 Wed, 22 Sep 2021 21:10:40 +0000 Sloper 2226267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shorts - with the cuffs and length they have a bit more personality - good with the tee, maybe try a lighter color shirt?</p> <p>I also like the dresses in 4 &amp; 5 - I'm a fan of these type of shapes, but of course if you are not comfortable....</p> <p>I like Janet's idea of a cropped top with the blue pleat skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/auditioning-some-styles-kr#post-2226254 Wed, 22 Sep 2021 20:54:43 +0000 DonnaF 2226254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not to be a spanner, but I'm wondering if all or most of these are at least a size too big? The skirt, especially, looks too big on you. I would really like to see everything a size down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/auditioning-some-styles-kr#post-2226184 Wed, 22 Sep 2021 17:50:44 +0000 Angie 2226184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shorts in #1 look sooooo cute! Wear them with black to add that harder edge you are after.</p> <p>#4 - is my fave! SUPER cute :)</p> <p>#5 - I need to see a better pic of and a more frontal view, but so far, I see good potential.</p> <p>#6 - NICE!&nbsp;</p> <p>$7 - love that skirt! Try <b>Janet's</b> styling suggestions.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/auditioning-some-styles-kr#post-2226137 Wed, 22 Sep 2021 15:16:44 +0000 slim cat 2226137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dress in #6 and shorts in #1as fav . <br />Some tops look a bit too big on you - like #2 and in&nbsp;#7-9. <br />The skirt has a lot of potential but right now it's bit too long and a bit too big in a waist ( at least in pictures ). In similar situation I had my skirt shorten and tighten in the waist - elastic waistband tends to stretch with wear. I do tank tops and fitted tees with light jackets with my skirt ( linen moto jacket or classic denim one ) - or black graphic tee with some jewelry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/auditioning-some-styles-kr#post-2226123 Wed, 22 Sep 2021 14:39:03 +0000 rachylou 2226123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s easier for me to say I think not 3 and 5 (‘hospital gowns’).

I feel like the shorts are good but could be a little shorter. The skirt is fab — I like it with a semi-tuck or slightly cropped top, or one loosely knotted at the waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/auditioning-some-styles-kr#post-2226071 Wed, 22 Sep 2021 12:18:35 +0000 lozz_oz 2226071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s nice to see you in colours other than black ;)<br /> I like the shorts and good job with the front tuck tops; I like all the dresses, and you have already identified where you think you would wear them.<br /> The two you refer to as sack like seem to have enough structure. (Personal bias as I like that style of dress, particularly photo 4)<br /> Love the colour of the pleated skirt - could you have it sitting higher up, or is it perhaps too large at the waist? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/auditioning-some-styles-kr#post-2226053 Wed, 22 Sep 2021 10:53:26 +0000 Staysfit 2226053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is definitely the dress in picture 6. &nbsp;<div><br /><div>There is something about the shorts that seems slightly off to my eye, maybe the length? &nbsp;I wish they were slightly longer or maybe shorter….</p> <p>I like the dress in picture 3, it’s too bad it’s too casual for work. &nbsp;I would return it if you already have others that you would wear for the same purpose.</p> <p>I like the dress in picture 5 better than in picture 4. &nbsp;It has less material. &nbsp;I agree that they have little shape especially when compared with the dress in picture 6 which has waist definition. &nbsp;I really like the waist definition and would consider returning dress 4 and 5 to look for something better. &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I do like the drapery top and skirt in pictures 7-9 because I like it with the length of the skirt. &nbsp;If you paired the same top with something shorter I’m not sure how it would look?</div><div></p> <p></div></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/auditioning-some-styles-kr#post-2226050 Wed, 22 Sep 2021 10:49:42 +0000 Anonymous 2226050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 6 most of these, definite keeper! How about adding a little belt to 4? 3 sure for the beach. The shorts and maxi skirt I'd much prefer with a sleeveless top and sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/auditioning-some-styles-kr#post-2226035 Wed, 22 Sep 2021 09:00:22 +0000 Sally 2226035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I decided to try some styles for the upcoming summer and ordered a few clothes online to see if certain silhouettes suited me.&nbsp; I have my own ideas and asked my sister what she thought but thought I would come to the experts before I send stuff back. Sorry this is a bit of a novel but wrote my thoughts on each one.&nbsp; You could just skip to the pictures.&nbsp;<br />pic 1 and 2. - I normally wear jean shorts or short cotton shorts. I thought cargo shorts would be a more stylish choice as my jean shorts have ripped and are falling off me.&nbsp; I feel like a scout leader in these shorts which is not such a bad thing to be but it feels too preppy for me. I do prefer the t-shirt with it though.&nbsp; Any ideas?&nbsp; My sister said it would be ok for a school excursion or a cricket match.&nbsp;<br />pic 3 I have enough t-shirt dresses and think this is too casual for work.&nbsp; The hem makes it even more casual.&nbsp; I suppose it would be ok for the beach.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />pic 4 another dress that looked better in the catalogue. I feel like I"m wearing a sack.&nbsp; I thought it would be practical for work.&nbsp; <br />pic 5 -another dress I thought would be practical for work but feel like a shapeless sack in it.&nbsp; I suppose that is why I thought it would be good for school teaching.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />pic 6 - a midi- I really like this one and so does my sister.&nbsp; Its quite different from my usual style but could see myself wearing it to spring/summer parties with a denim jacket or a cardigan.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />pic 7-9 I don't usually go for the drapey look but for some reason I like this and so does my sister. I don't like it fully tucked in but with a drapey top or semi-tucked. Keep or return? any styling suggestions.&nbsp; </p>
