It had a wide black waistband - that would be another option for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/day-3--stripes#post-954712 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 11:04:54 +0000 harmonica 954712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh my - glad you managed after the knock. The gift card is a great way to apologize. </p> <p>I like the dress a lot and it seems like it would be in style for many years, but let's hear the others </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/day-3--stripes#post-954609 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 04:44:44 +0000 TraceyLiz65 954609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it may be simple enogh for me to attempt &nbsp;on my own&nbsp;since the zipper is in the back &nbsp;not the side. &nbsp;This dress has a funny story... when trying to buy it the first time I got knocked in the head by a falling store fixture and went home with a bump and nausea. &nbsp;Store gave me an apology gift card and I sent my husband back for the dress...&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/day-3--stripes#post-954272 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 21:58:59 +0000 Thistle 954272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dress!&nbsp; I really like it, but I am uncertain the cost of alterations. Not sure it would be a good value proposition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/day-3--stripes#post-954265 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 21:53:26 +0000 Karie 954265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it will be in style for many years to come. What type of fabric is it? Could you alter it yourself? A tuck here, a tuck there... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/day-3--stripes#post-954107 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 14:48:27 +0000 Angie 954107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice frock! I would get a price on the tailoring, and make a decision based on that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/day-3--stripes#post-954023 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 13:16:45 +0000 TraceyLiz65 954023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've worn this dress a few times in Fall and Winter with an apple green jacket and as a skirt with a darker green sweater and jean jacket. &nbsp;</p> <p>It is a size 8 and is designated for the alter pile, as I love it so much. &nbsp;The belt is covering ups the inches that it is loose! &nbsp; I played with just taking up the shoulders as well and then it would work beautifully. &nbsp; My question for the wisdom of the &nbsp;most supportive women on the web, Is this dress going to remain in style long enough for it to be worth tailoring ? &nbsp;I am not married to the idea of keeping it...</p> <p> </p>
