I do think they can quickly veer from sublime to ridiculous, maybe more so in motion/real life (posed perfectly the proportions work but maybe not from all angles etc).<br /> I like that women are taking up space and getting away from body con. The dress more so the statement than the body. Just my take (body con is fine too). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/case-in-point#post-2267398 Wed, 15 Jun 2022 10:45:19 +0000 Staysfit 2267398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOl, make it pink and it was my bridesmaids dresses! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/case-in-point#post-2267381 Wed, 15 Jun 2022 08:24:29 +0000 Bijou 2267381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this dress, it reminds me of some of my favourite dresses.

Photographers don’t either. They advise but the client has the last word. The exception might be a collaboration with a fashion designer for their line, but even then the designer works with the celebrity.</p> <p>I also think GP wears it as well as anyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/case-in-point#post-2267179 Mon, 13 Jun 2022 17:24:12 +0000 Sloper 2267179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm cool with it.&nbsp; It's not a baby-doll short, doesn't have a lot of frou-frou details.<br />And I don't think Gwyneth Paltrow wears whatever a stylist tells her to </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/case-in-point#post-2267169 Mon, 13 Jun 2022 16:38:44 +0000 Angie 2267169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress! :)</p> <p>The wearer wears the trend well!

But not in white. White is for Easter Sunday or all-white parties </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/case-in-point#post-2267154 Mon, 13 Jun 2022 16:05:36 +0000 rachylou 2267154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the thing is - the only place for a person to wear this cinderella look is the cover of AD or another magazine. What I want to know is where are all the dresses just like this at Target being worn? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/case-in-point#post-2267139 Mon, 13 Jun 2022 14:22:23 +0000 Echo 2267139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the individual rarely chooses their own outfit for a cover. This is what a stylist and photographer from the magazine chose, not necessarily what she wants to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/case-in-point#post-2267134 Mon, 13 Jun 2022 14:04:18 +0000 lyn67 2267134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Think may also be the&nbsp; stylist' choice and is her job to wear latest trends on a designer magazine's cover...&nbsp; I actually Iike the dress, seems very elegant in all white- and would look very plain in a basic cut-but not for everyone and everywhere, of course-but we can also have fun with fashion if wanted, isn't it?:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/case-in-point#post-2267132 Mon, 13 Jun 2022 14:00:26 +0000 BlueJay 2267132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have straight, broad shoulders, and I usually have to size up for blazers and jackets to fit. Puffs just accentuate my shoulders and make me look like a linebacker. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/case-in-point#post-2267129 Mon, 13 Jun 2022 13:55:10 +0000 Janet 2267129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to say that this example is far from the worst I have seen. I do think the solid color keeps it from looking juvenile. However, it’s not my jam. I have owned ruffles and puff sleeves of one sort or another very recently, but it’s the combination of those details with ditsy prints, pale colors, and other girly embellishments that push it all out of my wheelhouse. I’m happy for those who enjoy a trend to have an opportunity to stock up on it, but when it’s EVERYWHERE with few other options available, it’s frustrating. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/case-in-point#post-2267127 Mon, 13 Jun 2022 13:50:14 +0000 Kathie 2267127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These types of styles bring back fond memories, because my mom helped me make a few dresses like this when I was in elementary school. In some ways, it's a very "shadow" style- I'll admit to having tried some on at retail over the years, and then I remind myself that I would feel very self conscious wearing it now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/case-in-point#post-2267117 Mon, 13 Jun 2022 12:57:20 +0000 Brooklyn 2267117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Fash. </p>
