I think it is the unique print which makes it so special and flattering.<br /> You see what you have done? I want it now too! Maybe it is a good thing that it would be too short for me anyway and I can love it on others... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-and-angies-jones-ny-leaf-print-dress#post-428351 Fri, 23 Sep 2011 02:21:24 +0000 rae 428351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, how I love #1!

I have #3 on order myself so I'm glad to see how stunning it looks on a curvier figure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-and-angies-jones-ny-leaf-print-dress#post-427655 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 04:42:00 +0000 cyan45 427655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ah, good point...thanks so much for telling me like it is </p> <p>between 1 and 3, which one do you think is better? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-and-angies-jones-ny-leaf-print-dress#post-427654 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 04:29:20 +0000 bran888 427654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure why, but your waist looks more defined to my eye in 1 and 3. It might be because of the pleating on 2, but the waist definition is why I prefer the other two dresses. That being said, I don't think that 2 is a bad option, just that 1 and 3 are 10's while 2 is not for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-and-angies-jones-ny-leaf-print-dress#post-427652 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 04:19:57 +0000 cyan45 427652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks for your input bran888. </p> <p>do you think #2 doesn't look right b/c of the pleating? or not much waist definition? i considered going a size smaller, but it would feel too tight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-and-angies-jones-ny-leaf-print-dress#post-427651 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 04:15:10 +0000 bran888 427651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that 1 and 3 are very figure flattering (I don't really see the pear tendencies you're talking about)...I really like both, but have a preference for 1 because of the beautiful colors and pattern (I'm wanting this for myself!)...To be totally honest, I'm not sure that 2 is doing much for your figure. Just my opinion, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-and-angies-jones-ny-leaf-print-dress#post-427650 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 04:05:43 +0000 cyan45 427650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>well, here is evidence of my macy's trip:</p> <p>1) jonesNY flower print dress<br /> 2) jonesNY faux wrap dress (beet)<br /> 3) nine west dress </p> <p>my apologies for the tired eyes and darb hair. it was a hot day, and weary road traveler indeed :P</p> <p>conclusions:</p> <p>1) LOVE!!! was very worried about the horizontal pattern making my hips look bigger. ok, they kinda do anyways. maybe this counts as one of angie's 'surrender your body type rules' or something like that. the neckline, sleeves and length make me feel classy. but the print makes me feel bold and feminine! it feels double lined, which smooths out bumps but still feels very stretchy. </p> <p>FYI regarding size: although i qualify as a 4 in the size chart (yeah right), i picked a 6 &amp; 8. the 8 fit perfect! </p> <p>can't wait to wear it with pumps, black booties + tights, knee high boots + tights, flats...</p> <p>2) LOVE!!! i didn't think much of it on the rack, but was attracted (again) to the neckline, sleeves, length, and vibrant color (i don't look good in the muted earth tones in stores right now). also feels double lined, so it smooths out the backside and waist nicely.</p> <p>i'm going to return them w/ my fiance (and his macy's card, lol) to get some extra discounts, in addition to my saved up gift cards from christmas/bdays. </p> <p>HOWEVER, please slap me out of it if they are less than a 10. specifically,<br /> NOT FLATTERING in cut, color, fit, etc...no prisoners!</p> <p>dresses (as well as their colors, textures, prints) always set my emotions free. please be my practical, left brain team because my own left brain is locked in the basement right now, courtesy of miss right brain :P</p> <p>thanks so much ladies...and thank you laura for looking so fabulous in it to help some of us take the plunge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-and-angies-jones-ny-leaf-print-dress#post-427303 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 20:44:52 +0000 Inge 427303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL! I think you are already a teeny tiny bit in love:-)</p> <p>Very excited to see it on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-and-angies-jones-ny-leaf-print-dress#post-427227 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 19:02:50 +0000 cyan45 427227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>so excited, just called macys to put on hold a few sizes of the dress so i can try them on after work :D</p> <p>oh dear, my practical side is kicking my brain again:</p> <p>'the nine west abstract print faux wrap dress is more versatile! what are you thinking! it costs more, but the cost per wear will make it worth it!'</p> <p>when YLF went aflutter with the OTHER nine west dress (the vibrant fan print), i found it on overstock and loved wearing it with leggings + flats and tights + boots. it was my happy dress (and the i ate too much/it's my period dress, lol).</p> <p>however, it was not as practical due to the above-the-knee length and awesomely crazy print, which many described as a 'butterfly print' :)</p> <p>i have been investing in classic prints--polka dots, stripes, geometric shapes, a classy chain link print from target many years ago--and these have worked out well over time.</p> <p>i LOVE LOVE LOVE bold prints and cheerful colors, but do not want the colors to date as easily if it doesn't already have a retro feel.</p> <p>*sigh* sorry for the babbling. i'm afraid i will fall head over heels in love with the dress, and not want to let it go the macys lady knew EXACTLY which dress i was talking about over the phone, so it must be a hot little number for sure.</p> <p>anyway, i'll try to send some pics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-and-angies-jones-ny-leaf-print-dress#post-427146 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 17:18:34 +0000 rae 427146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try it on! And take picss! You can always decide against it after you see how it works for your body. </p> <p>P.S. I want it, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-and-angies-jones-ny-leaf-print-dress#post-427125 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 16:47:05 +0000 Angie 427125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi!</p> <p>Does it matter that the dress accentuates your fuller bottom half? The female form is naturally pear- shaped for child bearing reasons. It's a beautiful form. Try the dress! You will love the high neckline. </p> <p>Laura has pear-shaped tendencies too. LOOK at how killer she looks in that dress!!!</p> <p>I rest my case </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-and-angies-jones-ny-leaf-print-dress#post-427121 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 16:41:43 +0000 cyan45 427121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow, laura wears the jones NY dress from angie's list this morning with such style!</p> <p>i am so tempted to go to macy's now, but my practical side keep kicking in. will this pattern flatter my bottom half? the print seems to flow horizontal, which is ok for up top, but not so good on the bottom...?</p> <p>my shoulders are pretty proportional to my hips, but i still have pear tendencies (fuller lower half, small bust).</p> <p>as much as i LOVE everything about the dress--boatneck, elbow sleeves, forgiving ruching, stretchy sheath cut, knee length--i am still holding back due to the pattern direction.</p> <p><a href="http://www.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=596434&#038;cm_mmc=Google_Feed-_-4-_-34-_-MP434" rel="nofollow">http://www.macys.com/catalog/p.....34-_-MP434</a></p> <p>any thoughts?<br /> thanks... </p>
