I created a custom find from a picture of last year’s version. I need to check how it looks without tights or shapewear, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-has-good-dresses-now#post-2009143 Sat, 02 Mar 2019 08:10:27 +0000 Jessikams 2009143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks great on you Christina! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-has-good-dresses-now#post-2008805 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 17:32:05 +0000 Christina F. 2008805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FYI I tried this one on and love it. Their ribbed items are excellent - skimming without clinging. I don’t see this colorway online, just white with black stripes, so no find right now. I’ll review in a separate post at some point once all the challenge posts die down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-has-good-dresses-now#post-2004673 Thu, 21 Feb 2019 20:12:51 +0000 jussie 2004673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do love that yellow colour! Hope it works for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-has-good-dresses-now#post-2004662 Thu, 21 Feb 2019 19:50:36 +0000 Taffy 2004662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie. I always have BR on my radar because they have a tall selection. But I want sleeves on my dresses and a length to my knees. They occasionally have a dress with one trait, but very rarely both traits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-has-good-dresses-now#post-2004661 Thu, 21 Feb 2019 19:43:11 +0000 Anonymous 2004661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NOT dresses, but I have had really good luck with Banana Republic these past few months. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-has-good-dresses-now#post-2004603 Thu, 21 Feb 2019 17:55:21 +0000 kellygirl 2004603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brick and mortar is the way to go. Their sizing is all over the map or at least spans a range of three sizes for me. Their knit dresses fit me rather oddly but I think it’s more a body type/ease issue more than anything else. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-has-good-dresses-now#post-2004471 Thu, 21 Feb 2019 07:34:35 +0000 Jessikams 2004471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have trouble with their cut/fit too- and the fabric is so hard to judge online. Maybe best to wait till I could go in person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-has-good-dresses-now#post-2004359 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 21:52:00 +0000 DonnaF 2004359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>“Too short” means they might work for 5’ 1” me! But I have never had a BR dress fit me through the shoulders, arms and bust — not that I have tried a lot. I tend to think their stuff is cut for a different body type than mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-has-good-dresses-now#post-2004331 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 20:50:31 +0000 LaPed 2004331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can totally see you in the yellow racerback! Racerback styles are terrible on me. I can't help but feel like I'm wearing a sports bra (or one of those sporty dresses with a built-in sports bra!), and the emphasis on my shoulders always feels a bit much. :)</p> <p>I take a peek at BR's dresses pretty much every season. Sometimes I try one or two, but nothing has captured my heart yet. The navy lace pinafore dress that Runcarla mentioned caught my eye too. It seems BR has one or two really nice lace dresses every season -- fully lined, cotton lace. I might try it on. I like the idea of this wool double-V dress too. Again, fully-lined, and if they're knee-length on the model, they'd probably be below-the-knee on me. The V in the back is always appealing to me.&nbsp;</p> <p>Oh, and these olive jumpsuits are calling my name, but there's about a .01% chance that they'd fit without a bunch of alterations.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-has-good-dresses-now#post-2004330 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 20:42:19 +0000 Angie 2004330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just came back from BR. All the dresses I liked are too short </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-has-good-dresses-now#post-2004313 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 20:19:57 +0000 JuniperGreen 2004313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went to Banana Republic this weekend in the hopes of finding some good work dresses, but the in-store selection wasn't great.&nbsp; There are definitely some good-looking options online though!&nbsp;</p> <p>I didn't end up purchasing any of the three I tried on, unfortunately.<br />1) The fit and flare dress was pretty nice on, but the sleeves were a touch tight.&nbsp; Also, I feel like fit and flare dresses don't suit me, they read too "cutesy" for me.&nbsp;<br />2) I liked the sporty vibe of this sheath dress but passed because I wanted something a little dressier - it would be really cute with a denim jacket and white sneakers in spring.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />3) The cut of this dress was REALLY appealing but I hated the fabric, alas.&nbsp; I'd love to see it in a different woven material.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-has-good-dresses-now#post-2004299 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 18:47:30 +0000 Carla 2004299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The eyelet pinafore (pic below) looks like a sister dress to Angie's great eyelet dress from last year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-has-good-dresses-now#post-2004141 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 03:27:15 +0000 Jessikams 2004141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BR seems to have lots of cute dresses now- with higher necks, racerback and crewneck— my preferred style as it doesn’t require strapless bra.</p> <p>Has anyone tried some of the current crop in person? I’m considering placing an order along with those light fitted tops Angie recommended.</p> <p><a href="https://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=396626042&#038;cid=1086392&#038;pcid=70016" rel="nofollow">https://bananarepublic.gap.com.....pcid=70016</a> </p>
