I have been rather less present on YLF for awhile - haven't needed to shop.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm surprised so many of you like the maxi dress, and heartened about the white dress and all the styling suggestions. I think I'll keep looking for maxi's (or Jules, maybe midis too) but it was nice that so many of you liked one of the first I tried.</div><div><br /></div><div>Yes Lisa,&nbsp; being a work event is definitly a consideration. Otherwise I may have worn my playsuit, but I feel it is a bit lacking in leg coverage. It's also a little uncomfortable as I sized down.</div><div><br /></div><div>Slimcat - I totally agree with you on the jewellery filling in the space!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-resort-wear#post-2079289 Sat, 23 Nov 2019 00:53:45 +0000 Anonymous 2079289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are nice but my vote is for the maxi too! Gold sandals, big hat, sunnies, bangles, umbrella drink- resorty </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-resort-wear#post-2079246 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 21:45:57 +0000 rachylou 2079246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The maxi looks great!

I find it flattering on you.</p> <p>I see slim arms and a healthy body. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-resort-wear#post-2079234 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 20:45:57 +0000 Anonymous 2079234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;Hi Anne - I agree that you look great in both dresses. And consider yourself lucky for being smaller-chested. It's far easier NOT to look too sexy and inappropriate in resort-wear when you don't have big breasts to dress around ....and I'm assuming since it's a work situation , looking too casual and sexy is not the goal. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-resort-wear#post-2079218 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 18:26:27 +0000 slim cat 2079218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your printed long dress! Color is lovely on you and fit is fine ( I'm small chested too ). You can play with sash - tie it on the side slightly, tie it on the back and wear bolero/shrug/scarf &nbsp;in light color, switch to the skinny &nbsp;belt. &nbsp;<br />Jewelry usually helps me to bring the focus higher - layering a few necklaces to fill the space ( if I can put it that way &nbsp;- it adds something to the visual ). Vote for the new dress ( you look great in white too )! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-resort-wear#post-2079215 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 18:16:24 +0000 JAileen 2079215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both dresses look great on you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-resort-wear#post-2079205 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 17:57:04 +0000 Angie 2079205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Get the maxi dress!

A lightweight shirt with that kind of print, worn unbuttoned over the dress, would work too. You could also add accessories like a chunky, bright-colored resin necklace, sunglasses, or a floppy hat to any dress. </p> <p>These are overboard, but might be silly fun, if you want to be a little costume-y. That would make me feel more comfortable with that dress code. You probably have something similar from your kids. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/LAFALA-Swimming-Armbands-Inflatable-Flamingo/dp/B07B48XX7L" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/LAFALA-.....B07B48XX7L</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-resort-wear#post-2079177 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 15:53:42 +0000 kellygirl 2079177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both dresses are fab casual options! More structure would probably make it more conventionally flattering but I think it looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-resort-wear#post-2079174 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 15:46:57 +0000 Jules 2079174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Any reason why a maxi instead of a midi? It seems like there might be more options in the latter, and the proportions can be easier. I'd suggest something with sleeves and waist definition, like a wrap, except for the fact that your lovely arms deserve showing off :)<br />I like both dresses you've shown FWIW. Perhaps if you don't find a worthy dress, you might look for an inexpensive tropical print scarf with a white background to pair with the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-resort-wear#post-2079173 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 15:44:46 +0000 Sara L. 2079173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the maxi on you.&nbsp; I think the self belt keeps your waist from disappearing.&nbsp; I can't really see your bust due to the camera angle, but I'm flat, flat, flat so I usually focus on fit - making sure there is no extra fabric in the bust area.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-resort-wear#post-2079172 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 15:42:28 +0000 Carla 2079172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The maxi is cute, but the white dress in #1 is beautiful on you, and you have accessorized it very well. I’m assuming it is an earlier photo - pre-short hair? FWIW, your short hair in #2 is perfect! If budget is an issue, wear the white dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-resort-wear#post-2079170 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 15:09:10 +0000 anne 2079170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FI, We were writing at the same time. And I agree about the problematic shameless of the maxi. Not sure I have seen any with ruching that look clearly " resort" yet, but I have not looked very far yet. I want the dress to look flattering and current and thematically suitable, because if it doesn’t meet all three, I may as well just wear the white dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-resort-wear#post-2079169 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 14:59:15 +0000 anne 2079169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's a link to the dress <a href="https://www.target.com.au/p/cami-maxi-peplum-dress-tropicana-pink/62621069" rel="nofollow">https://www.target.com.au/p/ca.....k/62621069</a><br /> Thanks Bijou and Sarah. I like the seaming and hem too. I just feel like my waist has disappeared and that I have no bust! Same old problems as always. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-resort-wear#post-2079168 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 14:58:08 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2079168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think maxis are tricky, because all that fabric can hang down shapelessly. Once you start adding tailoring, you quickly find yourself in "dressy dress" land, much more formal than you intended. How about one with ruching to emphasize/create a waist? I know this isn't your price point, am just thinking about the shape of the dress. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/Bailey-44-Womens-Duststorm-Ruched/dp/B076W2XDP6">https://www.amazon.com/Bailey-.....B076W2XDP6</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-resort-wear#post-2079166 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 14:54:55 +0000 SarahD8 2079166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the maxi is amazing on you! To my eye the slight high-low hem and the seaming of the skirt that echoes the same shape give the dress structure and avoids the “nightgown” look that is common with maxis. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-resort-wear#post-2079165 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 14:48:23 +0000 Bijou 2079165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, it is lovely to see you. I really like the maxi dress, it looks great and perfect for summer parties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-resort-wear#post-2079160 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 14:39:05 +0000 anne 2079160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My work end of year party is coming up. It's an evening outdoor event, and the theme is casual resort wear.<br /> I have an old faithful dress I could wear (pic one) , but have also been wondering about getting a new dress. Seems like even Angie would approve of a maxi dress for this occasion.<br /> I don't want to spend too much. Tried on 3 cheap dresses today. This one (pic two) is the best, though looks pretty bad in the photo.<br /> Am actually feeling good about my body at the moment, but not necessarily when clothed.<br /> Any hints for a more flattering maxi? </p>
