You have great legs so I think a short length is perfect! These tight short dresses are showing off your legs but are boxy in the torso. A dress with a top and volume in the skirt gives a very feminine shape. I use them all the time because I'm a rectangle myself. I'm thinking retro, 1950s bombshell-inspired dresses would be awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/borrowed-a-dress#post-1119577 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 18:11:44 +0000 Traci 1119577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find it takes lots of trial and error to find the right shapes. &nbsp;I agree with the others that this would be nicer if a little longer. &nbsp;I'd also prefer it with either a 3/4 sleeve or no sleeve at all.</p> <p>Are you tall? &nbsp;You might need to look for dresses proportioned for taller women. &nbsp;The ones I've seen on you so far seem to be proportioned too short overall.</p> <p>Here are some shapes that I think might work for you. &nbsp;I'm not sure why most of them are lace. &nbsp;The lace doesn't really play a part &nbsp;in my choice of them, it's more about the neckline, waist definition, length and sleeves.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/diane-von-furstenberg-new-jeanne-2-jersey-wrap-dress/3474038?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=BLACK&amp;resultback=1400&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-2_5_B">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/di.....ts-_-2_5_B</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/eliza-j-lace-faille-dress-regular-petite/3118113?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=BLACK&amp;resultback=300&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_2_C">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/el.....ts-_-1_2_C</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/tadashi-shoji-lace-tulle-sheath-dress/3646734?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=AUBURN&amp;resultback=2900&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_9_A">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/ta.....ts-_-1_9_A</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ivy-blu-pleated-front-v-neck-dress/3357668?origin=category">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/iv.....n=category</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/tahari-stripe-sweater-dress/3606131?origin=category">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ta.....n=category</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/borrowed-a-dress#post-1119342 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 04:41:05 +0000 Jeanie 1119342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely color and print on you. &nbsp;I agree with Caro's comments on fit. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/borrowed-a-dress#post-1119340 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 04:38:46 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1119340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a cute dress, and I think the fit looks good. My hesitation about it is the way the design frames the bust, kind of drawing attention right to the bust points. I should admit, though, that as a seamstress I'm vary wary about placing prints so that they don't end up putting two circles right at the bust points, so I may tend to notice those things more than others do. This issue, if it bothers you at all, could be alleviated by wearing a shrug or short jacket with the dress. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/borrowed-a-dress#post-1119328 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 04:17:30 +0000 Catnip 1119328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that a little bit longer with somewhat longer sleeves would be better.&nbsp; Sorry I cannot suggest another dress since I only wear pants and don't pay much attention to dresses when shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/borrowed-a-dress#post-1119141 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 22:23:19 +0000 Caro in Oz 1119141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the neckline &amp; pattern are great on you but would like to see a slightly longer&nbsp;sleeve &amp; hemline.
