Rae, I saw the Parker dress (DROOL) and the Milly dress is amazing too.  I really like all of the links, actually, but need a dress that has long sleeves and is not too lightweight - funny how the colors and prints do all seem to be silky or lightweight fabrics.  Perhaps this is a fashion unicorn... crazyone on "Cry for help: printed dress" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cry-for-help-printed-dress#post-1120535 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 04:15:04 +0000 crazyone 1120535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Una, how about this dress? <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/shopsale-dresses2/28476034.jsp">http://www.anthropologie.com/a.....476034.jsp</a> gryffin on "Cry for help: printed dress" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cry-for-help-printed-dress#post-1120277 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 19:06:48 +0000 gryffin 1120277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ One More: <a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/joie-dress-weaver-snow-leopard?ID=829910&CategoryID=21683&LinkType=#fn=LENGTH_M%3DShort%26spp%3D66%26ppp%3D96%26sp%3D11%26rid%3D61%26spc%3D1926" rel="nofollow">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....ryID=21683</a> karymk on "Cry for help: printed dress" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cry-for-help-printed-dress#post-1120261 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 18:43:18 +0000 karymk 1120261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You are so tiny!

I am debating whether to even bother ordering from somewhere else. I would love your help to find a cool long sleeve print dress that would work for 5'1" me. Ideal length is between 33" - 36" depending on style. I have a lot of criteria: I don't do wrap dresses or bodycon/sheaths and the fabric has to be - if not winter - at least all season. The neckline needs to be flattering for a short necked busty IT. And that doesn't even include color issues. I like abstract, digital and mirror prints. Nothing cute, girly or twee. And hopefully not $500! It's a tall order coming from a short person! Thanks for any help.
