It just sounds like too much work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bailey-44-kr#post-500056 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 21:10:07 +0000 celia 500056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hi ladies,<br /> happy new year.<br /> @Una I don't know what is wrong with it because I am 5,4 and it really looks much longer than anyone I saw so far.<br /> @Kari I do understand what you are saying and I tried it.it doesn't work.</p> <p>Turns out DH has a very strong opinion about this dress.In his own words' You look very good in that dress, I have never seen you like that' He especially likes it in this color and the shorter version doesn't come in orange. </p> <p>Trying it at home I found out that the fabric was clinging too much.So I went and sized up.Also I am going to shorten it.</p> <p>I will post pictures to see how we can make DH and me happy about this purchase. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bailey-44-kr#post-499660 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 09:19:50 +0000 rute 499660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would try to hem it and wear with nude hose and nude shoes (with a small heel). Post a photo so that we can see!<br /> I think it has potential! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bailey-44-kr#post-499596 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 05:14:48 +0000 Kari 499596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another thought - before you actually decide to shorten or return it, perhaps experiment with pulling it down lightly over your hips so the fabric drapes as it will - since the dress has multiple layers of fabric and drapes so prettily, it doesn't have to be pulled down completely taut. I'm not sure if that makes sense or not. Basically, what I've discovered through wearing it is that the dress has a little flexibility depending on how far I pull it down across my hips while I'm putting it on - if I want the dress to end a little bit higher, I just let it drape a little more loosely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bailey-44-kr#post-499594 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 05:08:51 +0000 catgirl 499594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Celia, the fit looks great and is quite nice, but it does look long. I am only 5'1" and this looks longer on you - how tall are you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bailey-44-kr#post-499583 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 04:37:18 +0000 taylor 499583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The magic dress!!! fun color too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bailey-44-kr#post-499580 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 04:32:25 +0000 Kari 499580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy new year, Celia! I love the color and cut on you and vote to either shorten this one if you can, or search out the shorter version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bailey-44-kr#post-498219 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 01:29:35 +0000 lynn 498219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought the Macy's look alike (cheaper) and am wondering about the same issue of being pear shaped. Mine is not quite so long though. Did you see the sleeveless version at Anthropologie? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bailey-44-kr#post-498077 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 21:58:18 +0000 Lisa 498077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great color on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bailey-44-kr#post-498047 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 21:19:43 +0000 Scarlet 498047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others that your figure looks great, but the length is overwhelming and the dress might lose something through too much shortening. I hope you can find the shorter version. I do love the color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bailey-44-kr#post-498042 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 21:14:19 +0000 celia 498042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thank you for your comments on this new year eve.<br /> I will try to pin it to see how do we like it.<br /> meanwhile<br /> HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.<br /> All the best wishes in the world. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bailey-44-kr#post-498019 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 20:53:47 +0000 JennyAnne 498019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks really beautiful on your body, but I'm with the others who suggest shortening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bailey-44-kr#post-498015 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 20:45:57 +0000 Suz 498015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Celia, I think it looks super sexy but would need to be shortened, and I'm worried that might spoil the line of it. But if it can be shortened without interfering with the diagonal pattern and the cut (because if shortened, the bottom might have to be narrowed in order to mimic the original design...otherwise it might end up A line on you) then I think it could be worth it for a going out dress. I can really imagine how gorgeous you look IRL in this colour with your lovely eyes. </p> <p>Happy New Year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bailey-44-kr#post-498008 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 20:35:27 +0000 Angie 498008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Celia! Nice to see you post again! The dress has potential! It needs to be a good deal shorter though (as the ladies have said) and I'm wondering whether you shouldn't purchase the shorter one that Laura found instead of fiddling with this one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bailey-44-kr#post-497986 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 19:45:37 +0000 rae 497986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since you brought it up, I think it does emphasize the pear shape on you... though that is not necessarily a bad thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bailey-44-kr#post-497981 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 19:36:59 +0000 celia 497981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isabel, happy new year!<br /> I would hemm it.I am wondering if it looks good and not super pear shaped.</p> <p>eta- DH thinks it looks sexy which might be a good or bad thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bailey-44-kr#post-497980 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 19:34:02 +0000 Isabel 497980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Celia, the color is great on you. I do agree that the length seems overwhelming. Would you consider hemming it shorter ?</p> <p>Happy New Year ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bailey-44-kr#post-497979 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 19:26:10 +0000 celia 497979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, you are right my head is slightly smaller </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bailey-44-kr#post-497977 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 19:23:16 +0000 Amy 497977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The length "issue" could be due to the camera angle which seems to be at a slight downward angle. It's hard to tell.</p> <p>I think the dress looks nice on you! I'm uncertain how this dress would look shortened though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bailey-44-kr#post-497972 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 19:14:46 +0000 celia 497972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hi Rita:-)<br /> no this was the only one.but I am ok with shortening it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bailey-44-kr#post-497971 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 19:12:42 +0000 modgrl 497971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks really long on you. Did they have the shorter one in stock? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bailey-44-kr#post-497965 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 18:51:30 +0000 celia 497965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was having some serious dress envy and run to an anthropology store to try the dress.<br /> I had no choice in terms of color but I like this orange one.<br /> Should I keep this dress? It was expensive and it is my last purchase for a long time.<br /> What are your thoughts on this?<br /> Thank you for looking. </p>
