I'll go back this evening or tomorrow morning. </p> <p>Now I'm just a bit concerned about the sleeves - or the lack of it. I like the diagonal, but I have told myself to avoid sleeveless (or almost sleveless) due to chilly weather, even in summer. Temp above 25C/77F is rare! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-3#post-1243414 Tue, 06 May 2014 13:21:11 +0000 Suz 1243414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it has potential. I do see rachy's point about the way it seems to drape or fall (or the way it doesn't seem to) but I suspect that is fabric sizing or something. It's a really versatile style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-3#post-1243398 Tue, 06 May 2014 13:04:09 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1243398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your items for wearing with the dress Harmonica - this has fabulous potential. Were you able to bring it home? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-3#post-1243383 Tue, 06 May 2014 12:45:03 +0000 Anonymous 1243383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it could work for both work and casual and think the blazers you mentioned could be fun with it. Also agree with the suggestion to substitute something else for the belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-3#post-1243359 Tue, 06 May 2014 12:06:25 +0000 harmonica 1243359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, rachylou, ladywone, Shannon, JG and Lyn D! It is always so helpful to see through other eyes! </p> <p><b>rachylou: </b>*lol* about milk maid wife I don't think the dress would come out stiff IRL</p> <p><b>ladywone</b>: bare legs or nude hose would be for sure be better. I forgot to mention that it was totally unstyled.</p> <p><b>Shannon: </b>I really like your restyling ideas! I could add my bright coral blazer or my cropped Helmut Lang jacket and pumps for a more dressed up style. I do have a kellygreen jacket with 3/4 arms, too. Yes, and the new metallic/white loafers. Flats for casual style and bright yellow cardi, maybe a denim jacket or a beige safari style jacket for casual wear. <br />I need to go back and check if I can take it home for a trial round.</p> <p><b>JG</b>: So true, last summer was a nightmare when it came to summer dresses. I think this season is better than 2013. Yay for similar dress preferences :-)</p> <p><b>Lyn D</b>.: I did actually remove the belt, but forgot to take a pic. I think the dress fitted just as well sans belt.I guess I could remove the belt hoops if they bother me.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-3#post-1242848 Mon, 05 May 2014 22:44:22 +0000 Lyn D. 1242848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Shannon's ideas re styling.<br />Without the belt and with a nude leg and neutral shoe it could be Fab for warmer weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-3#post-1242757 Mon, 05 May 2014 20:54:08 +0000 JG 1242757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it a lot. I was lurking last summer, and I think I remember that you searched high and low for relaxed but not bare summer dresses. Safari style, maybe? The dresses you liked ticked all my boxes, too, and so does this one. This light denim or chambray is a staple in my hot weather clothes and very versatile in this style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-3#post-1242752 Mon, 05 May 2014 20:41:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1242752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm....I actually like it. I think to wear business casual style you could add the structure of a jacket over top and pair with pumps. Are you able to take it home and play with it and your wardrobe a bit before making a final decision? I do like the slightly looser fit for a summer dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-3#post-1242750 Mon, 05 May 2014 20:37:51 +0000 Ledonna N. 1242750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you love it I say take it home.&nbsp; I&nbsp; would replace the belt maybe use it as a hair tie or something.&nbsp; I like the natural soft color but I'm not sure with the boots and tights maybe styled differently.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-3#post-1242612 Mon, 05 May 2014 18:52:23 +0000 rachylou 1242612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote leave. I think it hangs a little stiffly. And I think it's milkmaid waif style, so it definitely should not hang stiff.</p> <p>In my opinion of course. It's a good colour, and I do generally like the idea of it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-3#post-1242598 Mon, 05 May 2014 18:34:26 +0000 harmonica 1242598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm always looking for easy casual dresses for MOTG. A bonus if it can transition as smart casual for work. I like the light blue colour and the wash of this denim dress. Very soft and nice length. Sorry about the tags on my shoulder and hair that need a serious trim.</p> <p>How is the fit of this dress? Could it be styled for smart casual? </p>
