I don't like the striped one so much, but it's quite a different vibe if you do.<br /> Your newbie question- yes, you can click that for whatever you want to say the person has done for you- given you a boost or whatever.

I can't do necklines like that because i bend over and chase toddlers all day, but if you're comfortable, go for it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-coral-dress---is-it-a-keeper#post-1784449 Mon, 06 Mar 2017 02:07:41 +0000 jill58 1784449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The coral one is great. The striped one I don't like because of the way the stripes change direction at the sides. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-coral-dress---is-it-a-keeper#post-1784325 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 17:18:09 +0000 Anonymous 1784325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That color and shape is so pretty on you!!</p> <p>But, I will share that I am a huge fan of the split neck and have a lot of that neckline in my closet. And everytime I add one that flops like that one, it ends up languishing and not being worn. I don't find it partularly troubling from a visual standpoint. But the feeling of it drives me bonkers. </p> <p>"Fixes" like jewelry and scarves will not change how it hangs, and adding a button and loop will not look right. And once it has been washed or dry cleaned, it will be even more pronounced</p> <p>As you can see from the many positive responses here, others will love it on you - I certainly do! So it really does come down to whether it is comfortable and visually pleasing to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-coral-dress---is-it-a-keeper#post-1784320 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 17:07:22 +0000 Jennib12 1784320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, everyone! Consensus seems to be the colour is fab, although a few of you see my concern with the neckline. I think I'm going to keep it, as I know I love it alone, without a jacket, and the scarf look appears to be a hit! Runcarla, I love your suggestion of a little button - that could be cute! You got me thinking, if I wanted to in the future, I'm sure my tailor could turn it into a true v-neck.</p> <p>Okay...so, a total newbie question now. What are these little awards or badges I see at the bottom of your posts? I think if I click them I can react to your posts, is that right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-coral-dress---is-it-a-keeper#post-1784307 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 16:17:31 +0000 Angie 1784307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for coral. Looks fab.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-coral-dress---is-it-a-keeper#post-1784302 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 15:03:55 +0000 Carla 1784302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coral dress - hands down. Would having a small loop and button that kept the collar closed resolve the collar problem? </p> <p>Your use of a heavy necklace to hold it down is clever, but I like the scarf inside the neck best, mostly because itmismsuch a perfect scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-coral-dress---is-it-a-keeper#post-1784299 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 14:54:37 +0000 Staysfit 1784299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color and cut are lovely but I think the neckline would drive me nuts. I wouldn't get it and keep looking. I can justify anything when it's a great color or on sale but if I am bothered by some aspect of it right from the start it will sit in my closet and languish because I will always chose something else to wear instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-coral-dress---is-it-a-keeper#post-1784286 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 14:08:14 +0000 Bonnie 1784286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both dresses are great but I like versions #1 and #2 the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-coral-dress---is-it-a-keeper#post-1784285 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 14:04:58 +0000 Anonymous 1784285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the coral one (looks great!). Can you get the neckline to lie flat?<br /> I think it would bother me if it never lay flat.<br /> I like how you've styled it with the jean jacket. I also like the lighter shoes with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-coral-dress---is-it-a-keeper#post-1784276 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 13:46:32 +0000 Suz 1784276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Kkards said -- doesn't look like an either/or to me.

IMO the stripe dress has a whole different vibe, much more casual, so i don't see them as an either or... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-coral-dress---is-it-a-keeper#post-1784267 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 13:03:48 +0000 RobinF 1784267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fits beautifully, pretty color, I say keep.

I like it better on you than the stripes but also love stripes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-coral-dress---is-it-a-keeper#post-1784215 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 04:28:21 +0000 Jennib12 1784215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had my eye on this coral dress from Banana Republic for a while, so when I came across it today at 65% off, I snapped it up! I've been missing a work-appropriate dress in my spring/summer wardrobe and this one hits most of my wish list: signature colour, a-line skirt, and sleeves. The only thing I'm not sure about is the neckline. I've tried wearing it a few different ways with stuff from my closet. What do you think? Is it a keeper? The alternative is #5, but it felt like a lot of stripes, even for a stripe-lover like me! </p>
