And as long as the other side isn't too short it will be perfect. Worth trying the size down but this looks lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-cocktail-dress#post-711459 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 08:50:48 +0000 lyn67 711459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think shorter side view will end 1-2 inches lower from where the slip does, IMO not too short either, one can see it's arround knees.. Lovely dress, did you try to sit down, that will break my deals a lot more often, as the skirts ride even more higher if tight, hope that's not the case. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-cocktail-dress#post-711128 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 20:02:32 +0000 harmonica 711128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>really excited to see how the other side view is! i hope this is the right dress for you because it is really beautiful and I bet even better IRL. yes, try one size down and the sitting test :-)</p> <p>shiny and shabbychic - lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-cocktail-dress#post-711097 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 19:37:41 +0000 jayne 711097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The whole store is cool, shabby....I'll see what I can do when I go back, lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-cocktail-dress#post-711062 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 18:39:04 +0000 Anonymous 711062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*GASP* Ok, the interior designer in me is TOTALLY in love with that shower curtain.... ;)</p> <p>Oops...just realized you are in a dressing room, not your bathroom...so I guess I'm in love with the curtain. Think they'll notice if you stuff it in your bag for Shabby??? lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-cocktail-dress#post-710903 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 15:55:22 +0000 Parsley 710903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you're on the right track, Jayne!<br /> I really like the dress, and it looks very pretty on you. The question is whether that one side is too revealing or not. If it's too short on that side, I'd vote keep looking for something similar but not too revealing, especially since this is a work-related function. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-cocktail-dress#post-710893 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 15:48:40 +0000 jayne 710893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The side didn't show allot of leg...but it did hit higher than the other side. I will go back on the weekend and try it again. Maybe smaller.</p> <p> Sorry I didn't have too much time before my train. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-cocktail-dress#post-710889 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 15:46:10 +0000 rute 710889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-cocktail-dress#post-710887 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 15:42:53 +0000 Angie 710887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What does the side look like with the shorter hemline? That is what would make or break this dress for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-cocktail-dress#post-710886 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 15:42:49 +0000 jayne 710886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pg text style good point, I forgot to do a sit test...must remember that.</p> <p>Claire...is a wrap an ok topper?

Shoes are decided because there will be dancing and I am taking no chances on my feet. They are simple black suede and patent Mary janes, will add picture above.</p> <p>I see though that this dress had lots more possibilities than that last one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-cocktail-dress#post-710874 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 15:32:07 +0000 shiny 710874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>7) with gold strappy sandals .. think "Grecian" ... because the dress has a bit of a Grecian Goddess feel to it.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-cocktail-dress#post-710873 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 15:30:15 +0000 shiny 710873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Styling ideas: </p> <p>1) Dress down with tall flat chesnut boots and a denim jacket. With red clutch. </p> <p>2) Dress up with platform heels or booties in a fun color (cobalt? Red? animal print) and piles of long necklaces. </p> <p>3) Wear with tan peep-toe booties and a long gold necklace. With a chestnut leather jacket (like MaryK's). </p> <p>4) Pop on a sharp navy pinstripe or charcoal boyfriend jacket, and more dainty pumps in a bright pop of color. </p> <p>5) Add a white denim jacket and tall boots with a heel or embellished ballet flats or two-tone oxfords. </p> <p>6) Wear with cropped leggings, or as a tunic over denim skinnies. </p> <p>I could go on and on... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-cocktail-dress#post-710868 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 15:24:06 +0000 Anonymous 710868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, you have an event to go to. Well, I love that it's silk chiffon! I'd try it on with toppers in the store just to make sure it plays well with them. All of the bulk created by the draping might look better on it's own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-cocktail-dress#post-710866 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 15:23:33 +0000 texstyle 710866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of this and the drape is nice - but it feels a bit short on that one side to my eye. I don't know, maybe I'm being picky. Can we see that other side? I do like it in general - and with the right jewelry and shoes and maybe a light shawl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-cocktail-dress#post-710865 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 15:23:33 +0000 shiny 710865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Uh, you know I'm going to say "buy"! I would wear this in a heart beat. Love ruching because it conceals a multitude of sins. Love the assymetrical hemline. Love the cowl neckline because I love cowls. I can see this with piles of long necklaces, and a cheeky denim or moto jacket, or a boyfriend jacket. </p> <p>And I think it would work for Paris. Depends on how you style it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-cocktail-dress#post-710861 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 15:19:13 +0000 Suz 710861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. I'm not sure. I like this one better than the last one, but I'm still not convinced this is "the" cocktail dress for this event. You definitely would have to add a topper to your calculations, I think.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-cocktail-dress#post-710859 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 15:18:55 +0000 Ingunn 710859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like how it drapes without being too clingy. Is the hem asymmetrical? If you want a dress that is not too classic, this could definitely be it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-cocktail-dress#post-710855 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 15:15:05 +0000 jayne 710855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Um I do like it, I think out is fun for a black dress. I am not a lbd kinda gal. It is made of silk chiffon. I dont have a topper...</p> <p>It hides all sins with the rusching, if that is a word, maybe I should have tried smaller. But is it age appropriate? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-cocktail-dress#post-710850 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 15:06:22 +0000 Anonymous 710850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks nice on you, but I need more info! Do you love it? Do you have anything else like it? What's it made out of? Do you have anything wear as a topper to keep warm? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-cocktail-dress#post-710836 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 14:53:29 +0000 jayne 710836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is by 2nd day...an under line for Malene Birger</p> <p>Added picture of my sure dancing shoes..they may be boring but I won't have to be (by sitting all night... see?) </p>
