I want to have the bolero in case it’s chilly but hope to not wear it much because the dress is much better without it. The shoes are pretty, low but not flat heel, and comfortable. The straps look like they are digging in a bit but they do not feel that way. No makeup, and I’m wearing a regular bra although I do have a perfect racer back one for this dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-whbm-dress-janet-found/page/2#post-1908965 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 17:40:10 +0000 Chris987 1908965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Bijou </b>and <b>Toronto Girl!</b></p> <p><b>Krishnadoux</b> you SHOULD give this dress a try.

I'm going to have to find some other places to wear this dress...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-whbm-dress-janet-found#post-1908889 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 14:30:48 +0000 Angie 1908889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Chris,</b> such LOVELY praise for you in that dress.

I actually love it with the white jean jacket myself.<br /> I also like the older dress, but having read Angie's suggestion about shortening it, I can see that would really freshen it up, so glad you will give it a go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-whbm-dress-janet-found#post-1908825 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 12:05:00 +0000 krishnidoux 1908825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this is a really good dree, I think I want to order it myself! It looks different on you, yet equally flattering. It has a very different vibe from the second dress you show.<br />Both are pretty in their own way, but Janet's find is really really nice.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-whbm-dress-janet-found#post-1908801 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 10:04:22 +0000 Bijou 1908801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous in this dress, photos 3 and 4 are amazing.

Blush or white sandal is what I've ordered to try. A wrap won't work for the particular event I have in mind but I will try some different things.</p> <p><b>efbgen</b>&nbsp; That white jacket is a summer workhorse for me in general but still considering whether it works with this dress...interesting how different everyone's views are. I'm hoping the light colored sandals would have more use than just with this dress...they probably would. </p> <p><b>Unfrumped</b> great advice on how to approach the "hack" job, that is exactly what I'd do </p> <p>Thanks <b>bonnie, Suz, kkards, brooklyn, jenni z, delurked</b></p> <p><b>Vix </b>- interesting that you think it's a bit dark for me. I actually love wearing darker colors but maybe I should consider some sort of simple white necklace...hmmm....</p> <p><b>Barbara Diane</b> I'm not a big fan of assymetrical looks on me and am not that interested in tackling doing the hem that way, but love the creativity of your suggestion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-whbm-dress-janet-found#post-1908744 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 04:59:45 +0000 Barbara Diane 1908744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new dress is fabulous.<br /> I wonder how the first would look cut asymmetrically. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-whbm-dress-janet-found#post-1908742 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 04:44:11 +0000 delurked 1908742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The BR dress Looks great and highlights you in such a nice way.

[I wish the background was the blue of the flowers.] When you added the jacket I disliked the proportions but loved the way YOU lit up.&nbsp;</p> <p>But really it is lovely on you so if keeping I'd encourage you to choose a light-colored shawl / shrug / whatever so you have the best of both worlds. Lightweight silk-wool combo shawls have a gorgeous sheen to them, or maybe you can find a linen with metallic thread.&nbsp;</p> <p>ETA that I really like the colorways of the older dress on you and agree a chop-chop would make it a lovely warm-weather dress!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-whbm-dress-janet-found#post-1908588 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 21:21:06 +0000 Suz 1908588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep that dress and wear it to your event.&nbsp;</p> <p>That is all.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-whbm-dress-janet-found#post-1908570 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 20:57:28 +0000 unfrumped 1908570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely fab find! You must keep. Agree with petite size.<br /> Also live the idea of hacking the other dress— I like a bit of knee coverage but YMMV, to wear as a more casual dress with sneaks or sandals. If it were I and not sure of the length , I’d hack 6” or so and then start pinning to find the sweet spot that seems most flattering and most wearable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-whbm-dress-janet-found#post-1908568 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 20:56:30 +0000 Bonnie 1908568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;The WHBM dress is perfect. It's definitely a keeper. A shawl would make a good coverup with this dress. The other dress is really nice but seems more casual in style.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-whbm-dress-janet-found#post-1908559 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 20:43:24 +0000 Anonymous 1908559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I happen to like both dresses.... that’s just me.<br /> I join others in thinking white jacket is not best topper but I don’t know if it is because I have that jacket and rarely liked the way it looked on me when I used it with dresses.<br /> Love the middle 2 shoes ( fave is top) but then I would want them for more than these looks- fab </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-whbm-dress-janet-found#post-1908558 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 20:43:03 +0000 Colette 1908558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really like the new dress on you and the petite is the right size. I do like it with the white jacket but would definitely try it with a wrap as well just to see the difference and how they feel.&nbsp;Perhaps a blush or white sandal?</p> <p>I agree with Angie that the old dress needs to be hemmed, but I vote that you wear the WHBM dress to your event. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-whbm-dress-janet-found#post-1908557 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 20:41:39 +0000 Chris987 1908557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Angie!</b> I will think more about the white jacket vs a shrug.. I have time. Funny you suggested shortening the older dress...I was thinking that if I did that I might feel like wearing it more often. Time to go for it! </p> <p>I<b>sabel</b>, and <b>Style Fan</b>, thanks, and shortening the older dress would definitely give it new life! </p> <p>Thanks <b>Janet</b> and THANKS SO MUCH for posting about this dress. As I said it has not appeared in any stores near me so without your YLF posting I would not have known about it. I'd like to see what shoes you end up wearing with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-whbm-dress-janet-found#post-1908540 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 20:18:08 +0000 Style Fan 1908540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The WHBM dress is lovely, Chris.&nbsp; I also like the Sears dress.&nbsp; Shortening it would bring new life to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-whbm-dress-janet-found#post-1908534 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 20:12:50 +0000 Janet 1908534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that your old dress would be cute with some length chopped off. But the new one dresses up a bit more — it looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-whbm-dress-janet-found#post-1908516 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 19:44:29 +0000 Anonymous 1908516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's nothing wrong with the old dress and Angie's idea of shortening it might give it a new place in your closet because the new dress seems more event like and really looks great on you.</p> <p>I think you could do way better with the cover up though. The balance between your hips and exposed shoulders is very flattering and I think the white jacket is too blocky, dense, long, and conflicts style wise. Maybe something more flowy and shortish? The shrug idea might be perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-whbm-dress-janet-found#post-1908498 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 19:18:10 +0000 Angie 1908498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The WHBM dress is ABSOLUTELY KILLER to the power of KILLER STUNNING. 20 out of 10, <b>Chris.</b></p> <p>Large Petite is best.&nbsp;</p> <p><i>Spanner:</i> I love the white denim jacket with the dress. A wrap will be nice too.</p> <p>The old Sears dress is too long.

I think maybe I'll look at those "shrug" things...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-whbm-dress-janet-found#post-1908479 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 18:25:16 +0000 Staysfit 1908479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous in the new WHBM dress! Wow! I love it on you! I wonder about a different topper also, maybe something shorter, and more fitted, or a big shawl scarf. I think it depends on whether you need sleeves. I tend to prefer sleeves because I get annoyed by having to carry things in my hands at an event where I might also need to handle a glass of wine or some hors doeuvres. </p>
