It's lovely, perfect color, gorgeous fit! I would take off the sleeves and hem it! It's a simple tailoring job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-room-help-tailorable#post-700765 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 02:12:22 +0000 Beth Ann 700765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, Lyn! That is a true singer's dress -- cool (lights are hot), but covered and long. Can you sing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-room-help-tailorable#post-700748 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 01:52:57 +0000 Vicki 700748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lyn*, I'm in agreement with Shannon, but it sounds like you've already decided, Pippa ass or not! It really is a lovely dress and the color on you looks good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-room-help-tailorable#post-700744 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 01:40:44 +0000 lyn* 700744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol. I don't have a Pippa ass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-room-help-tailorable#post-700720 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 01:22:52 +0000 Dashrashi 700720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I believe Nina Garcia also subscribes to the notion of "have a black-tie-appropriate dress on hand by shopping for one basically all the time until you find one you love for a price you can live with and then you won't ever have to buy one under pressure for way more money than you would want to spend considering that you never go to black tie events which is why you don't already have a dress for one." (I'm paraphrasing.) For $18, I am a screaming yes. (Not to mention that I kind of adored Pippa's bridesmaid dress, which this appears to reference.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-room-help-tailorable#post-700717 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 01:20:16 +0000 Debora 700717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops, we posted at the same time! Too bad about the armholes, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-room-help-tailorable#post-700715 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 01:18:50 +0000 Debora 700715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Shannon said. Also, from what I can see, love the buttons down the back. It would be a great dress for a gala or holiday event. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-room-help-tailorable#post-700711 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 01:18:34 +0000 lyn* 700711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The armholes are actually quite big, so I will pass it along! Great deal for someone else, though!</p> <p>Thanks, lovely ladies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-room-help-tailorable#post-700654 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 00:37:32 +0000 Mo 700654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with Shannon that having this 'at the ready' for Christmas galas or a New Year's party or the like would be great. And as someone who understands buying on a budget, a great dress under $20 is not something you come by often, least of all when you really need it right before an event pops up and you're scrambling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-room-help-tailorable#post-700647 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 00:35:11 +0000 JR 700647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could probably shorten it to knee-length even, if you thought that you'd get more wear out of it then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-room-help-tailorable#post-700644 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 00:32:34 +0000 Transcona Shannon 700644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is stunning on you lyn - especially in that gorgeous colour. I wouldn't touch the sleeves - I think they're beautiful. Shortening would be easy. Is this something you could buy, alter and then have available for when an event gets sprung on you? Angie has mentioned before that it's good to buy cocktail/dressy event clothing when you come upon it because it's when you have something to go to that you can't find anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-room-help-tailorable#post-700636 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 00:27:33 +0000 annagybe 700636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unless you have a black tie event coming up I'd pass, seriously. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-room-help-tailorable#post-700634 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 00:25:14 +0000 KathyL 700634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color looks great on you! Honestly, for $18, I would buy it and hack away if it were $250 or even $100 I would pass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-room-help-tailorable#post-700633 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 00:24:43 +0000 Deborah 700633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a beautiful dress. Would you be buying it for your imaginary life though? Even at $18.00 is you don't wear it it's not a bargain:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-room-help-tailorable#post-700628 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 00:20:59 +0000 Mo 700628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. Glamorous! I'd take it and either get reeeallly tall heels or have it shortened. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-room-help-tailorable#post-700627 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 00:20:48 +0000 lyn* 700627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nah, Suz. My life is pretty boring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-room-help-tailorable#post-700624 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 00:17:41 +0000 Suz 700624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a gorgeous colour, Lyn. </p> <p>Do you have an event you might need it for? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-room-help-tailorable#post-700620 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 00:14:03 +0000 lyn* 700620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Help, YLF!</p> <p>What do you think of this long gown? I think the poof sleeves have to go and obviously the length is a problem. Is there potential or should I leave it? </p> <p>If it helps you make your mind, it is 18$. Regular 260$. </p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Lyn </p>
