But I have to remember that means 'hard to fit' for my lifestyle &amp; colouring too, not *just* body type! </p> <p>I'm chuckling at 'strict' colours, though - when I was in the midst of relocating all the black in my closet (to a specific capsule wardrobe &amp; gymwear), I still had some black items I would wear occasionally. I noticed people treated me differently when I wore them (one friend repeatedly asked me if I was okay, &amp; others would remind me to talk/ lean on them if I need to). Lol that was enough of a push to relegate those black items to non-everyday usage - I guess they subconsciously seemed incongruent to my personality? </p> <p>Anyway, moral of the story is to remember your lifestyle/ personality fit too, not just 'flattering' body &amp; colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfy-flattering-fit-pockets#post-2368711 Wed, 28 Aug 2024 12:17:35 +0000 RobinF 2368711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see where that would be a useful dress to have for last minute occasions. I do like that it has pockets!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfy-flattering-fit-pockets#post-2368670 Tue, 27 Aug 2024 16:52:57 +0000 Angie 2368670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good memory, <b>DonnaF.</b>&nbsp;Impressed. Thanks for the thoughtful words, and I remember Diana's revenge dress. Good analogy :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfy-flattering-fit-pockets#post-2368635 Tue, 27 Aug 2024 02:19:11 +0000 Lisa 2368635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I rarely wear dresses (I've always been a jeans/pants/trousers gal) but do like the idea of a dress with pockets on others. And it is very true that associations can weigh heavily on articles of clothing, both happy and sad associations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfy-flattering-fit-pockets#post-2368624 Mon, 26 Aug 2024 23:43:49 +0000 DonnaF 2368624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I very much thought of you with that dress. I'd forgotten that Suz had the same one. I tried it too, but IIRC it's stiffer and not as forgiving as this one which is VERY forgiving.</p> <p>The associations we make with certain pieces of clothing can be difficult, can't they? I very much remember when and why you wore the navy dress. But some can be good, like Princess Diana's "Revenge Dress". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfy-flattering-fit-pockets#post-2368618 Mon, 26 Aug 2024 22:40:31 +0000 Angie 2368618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the same dress as <b>Suz</b>! (I like the one you like too<b></b>, <b>DonnaF.</b> Thanks for the suggestion).&nbsp;</p> <p>I LOVED our dress, <b>Suz</b>. It's absolute perfection. Unfortunately I have worn it to my Dad's, MIL and FIL's funerals. Three of our four parents. It's taken on that role for a while. But I will wear it again on non-funeral days too! Just working my way up to it.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfy-flattering-fit-pockets#post-2368613 Mon, 26 Aug 2024 21:09:16 +0000 Suz 2368613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I like that dress! I have no need for such a garment since I still have the one below. Also with pockets!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comfy-flattering-fit-pockets#post-2368608 Mon, 26 Aug 2024 19:14:58 +0000 DonnaF 2368608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am trying to learn not to buy/keep items just because they flatter and fit, especially if they have pockets. This Nic+Zoe comes in a Petite and is super comfy because it is stretchy in the back and has a soft tie in the front plus the soft fabric has a little stretch plus resists wrinkles. But I think despite the soft tie the style is what Angie might call “strict”, at least for me since the color is what I would call navy black so much darker than the Find. It would be great for a slightly casual funeral, but I go to memorial services where attendees are instructed to wear color.</p> <p>Anyway, I otherwise recommend this Nic+Zoe Jessie dress. It also comes in a white and dark orange print. Both seem to be available on multiple sites. The PXS I ordered is TTS or possibly slightly big — but TTS for Nic+Zoe sizing. Pockets!!! </p>
