I have a pic of me wearing a dress my mom made for me that's a different fabric but that same exact pattern. It was very flattering. I guess certain styles come back around. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688451 Sat, 02 Jul 2016 08:01:55 +0000 Astrid 1688451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I totally get what you mean. I think it depends a bit on how much we're going to see of this effect. I don't mind looking a bit bottom heavy, I am after all. But it shouldn't be too much either. We'll see. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688449 Sat, 02 Jul 2016 07:55:26 +0000 Ornella 1688449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just added ETA - I hope it makes sense </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688448 Sat, 02 Jul 2016 07:54:11 +0000 Astrid 1688448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Ornella! That's exactly what I wanted it for, easy summer dressing. Keeping my fingers crossed it fits or is easily fixable. I got a mail that it's going to post today, so if I'm lucky it will be here sometime next week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688447 Sat, 02 Jul 2016 07:49:12 +0000 Ornella 1688447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress and am so glad you ordered it. Even if it does not work, it will give you a good idea of how this style works for you and what needs to be different for the style to really work. It looks like potential workhorse and super stylish option for easy summer dressing. The gaping can be easily resolved with sewing on one small popper or an alteration.&nbsp;</p> <p>ETA: My only concern is in terms of proportions - as sister pear who prefers conventional figure-flattery, I stay away from V-necklines especially paired with sleeveless options. Those two in combination make me lose my shoulders completely and when worn with wider skirts can create very unflattering bottom-heavy effect on me. This dress has the collar and lapels which help balance things out better in that sense, but I think we'll know best once we see it on you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688441 Sat, 02 Jul 2016 07:24:21 +0000 Astrid 1688441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Donna. And no offense taken, I think I can see what you mean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688312 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 23:19:35 +0000 DonnaF 1688312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you ordered the dress, and I hope it works for you.&nbsp; Not to be a spanner, but the skirts remind me of what my mom used to wear -- and not it a good way.&nbsp; All those gathers at the waist and the pockets would seemingly add a good ten to fifteen pounds (4.5 to 6.8 kilos) to her body.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688220 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 17:53:15 +0000 Astrid 1688220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Chris - I hadn't seen those before... I think we also had posts about these so called demi camis on the forum? I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that the neckline will be fine on its own.</p> <p>Thanks Kimlee! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688197 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 16:50:09 +0000 kimlee 1688197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so happy to read that you ordered the dress. I think it is going to look amazing on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688195 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 16:42:37 +0000 Chris987 1688195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If the neckline is a bit too low you could try those things that they sell on TV that snap onto your bra and fill in that little space at the bottom of the neckline. They sound really silly but they actually work. I have a couple le and I don't use them often but&nbsp;in just the right situation and the right color they are perfect. </p> <p>&nbsp; Here is a link to one option on amazon...but i'm sure there are lots of options. </p> <p></p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Modesty-Panels-Neckline-Inserts-Set/product-reviews/B00I5B4B4W" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Modesty-.....B00I5B4B4W</a></p> <p>&nbsp;That dress is really cute BTW.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688182 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 16:22:16 +0000 Astrid 1688182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, what do you mean? I bet that would look awesome. I ordered the dress.</p> <p>Thanks Nebraskim! I ordered the dress and passed on the rest. I might experiment with layers, but I would definitely prefer the dress to work just as it is, with sandals added. It doesn't bother me that it's sleeveless, when it's warm I just don't care about my arms. As long as the neckline works... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688173 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 16:16:35 +0000 Nebraskim 1688173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress for you better than the skirts, which look to have too much volume. I, too, am small busted so dresses with low or V&nbsp;necklines or faux/real wrap dresses can gape. I have a couple of mid-weight/light weight denim dresses and I love wearing them as they can be dressed up or down with jackets, scarves, etc. I personally would always wear a T-shirt under or something over this to accommodate the sleeveless because I don't like my upper arm flab and I'm always too cold. Wearing a dress like this over a shirt makes it what we in the States call a jumper.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you opt for one of the skirts, I would favor the stripes. I think the plain one is kind of dowdy. Good luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688170 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 16:15:02 +0000 rachylou 1688170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see you in the dress and the striped skirt and the sweater! (But not all at once, of course ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688168 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 16:10:41 +0000 Astrid 1688168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw thanks Angie. I have to say I would enjoy having a denim dress again, we had one (three versions in different sizes) in the family, all sewn by my grandma. It was my favourite dress and when I outgrew one there was a bigger one waiting, at least for a few years. It was a similar silhouette with buttons, plain v-neck, full skirt but with a less defined waist. My sister loved them too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688166 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 15:55:09 +0000 Angie 1688166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it has great potential. I'm not concerned about the low neckline or gathered waist because I think you can pull it off. It's an ADORABLE dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688165 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 15:47:34 +0000 Astrid 1688165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! I'm going to order the dress, fingers crossed it fits and looks good.</p> <p>Thanks Pil! And good idea with the button, I'll keep that in mind as an option. But maybe it won't be necessary.</p> <p>I decided against the skirts because I just got a great new summer midi skirt that I really like and want to wear (it's hemmed btw and looks great). I also need a new BF cardigan, but I think I want it to be more of a neutral color like my dark grey one. I recently said I wanted to try to find more dresses, so I'm going to order this one. I think it's worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688164 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 15:32:14 +0000 pil 1688164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can totally see you in any of those, Astrid. It may be more trouble than it's worth and tricky to match, but I wonder about adding another button at the top of the dress if needed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688143 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 14:25:19 +0000 Angie 1688143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress. Get it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688136 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 14:17:15 +0000 Astrid 1688136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz - looks like the skirt has gathers as well. But I don't mind those in a thin fabric like cotton. In fact I find them more flattering than big pleats with a high waist like this. The denim might be too bulky, you're right...</p> <p>Thanks Robin. :)</p> <p>I could also invest the money in a new BF cardigan as summer alternative to my dark grey wool cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688107 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 13:27:46 +0000 RobinF 1688107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like these, my favorite is the striped skirt but it depends on the rest of your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688100 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 13:15:29 +0000 Suz 1688100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress in theory but like Diana, wonder about the gathered waist. Denim can be a bit bulky so it might be an issue.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the striped skirt, but does it also have gathers? Might be worth determining. I can't really tell from the photos.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688084 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 12:45:54 +0000 Astrid 1688084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Diana. You're right, the gathering might be tricky. I had skirts where gathers like this worked really well, and ones where it looked off and made me look twice as big. I wrote a mail to ask about measurements. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688078 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 12:38:27 +0000 Diana 1688078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite of these is the striped skirt. I can see it being very versatile too, dressing up or down. </p> <p>I am not wild about the gathering at the waist on the dress and would like it a lot better without the gathers. I like the top part though and think the neckline looks fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688075 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 12:29:29 +0000 Astrid 1688075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Marble! Yes, I guess I can't be sure about the dress until I try it. The skirts are much more forgiving. But I can try to ask for measurements, it's a small brand.</p> <p>Thanks Smittie - agree that the solid skirt is the better neutral, but I'm drawn to the stripes too.</p> <p>Thanks Tanya! Too bad I can't order them all...</p> <p>Alasse, colorwise they should both work well in my wardrobe. I don't own many summer tops right now, but they are all solids. I do have a new patterned summer skirt though, so maybe a solid would be the better choice. That way I would have an an option for patterned tops, which I definitely want to look for going forward. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688064 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 12:03:11 +0000 Alassë 1688064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Which skirt would go with more of your tops/soft summer colours? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688056 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 11:32:53 +0000 Tanya 1688056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The denim dress is very cute and the neckline looks perfectly fine to me.&nbsp; I like all the skirts as well, especially the striped version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-shirt-dress#post-1688054 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 11:30:36 +0000 Anonymous 1688054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all! I slightly prefer the striped midi over the solid, but the solid might go with more things. </p>
