I have 2 jersey dresses with completely different cling/camouflage factors. The lined Vivienne Tam is great, the unlined VS wrap shows every seam of underlayer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-dress-like-this#post-839151 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 21:34:21 +0000 lyn* 839151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is so cute! I love it ... I kind of want it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-dress-like-this#post-839150 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 21:32:51 +0000 Jules 839150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Darn it, I wish I could look... because of our office internet set up Anthropologie thinks I am coming from a Quebec address and won't let me view their English language website due to the language laws! Random, huh. I'll have to try and look from home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-dress-like-this#post-838992 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 18:33:17 +0000 rachylou 838992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote camouflage, but I wonder about *hippo hips*... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-dress-like-this#post-838989 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 18:27:30 +0000 Thistle 838989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with Zap. That dress is MADE for an IT. Those of us that are more pear shaped, I think it would just accentuate the pear, so to speak.</p> <p>However, you never know until you actually try it on. However, if the reviews aren't flattering, they are probably right. I have made this mistake in the past, and I have found that the reviewers are almost always right! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-dress-like-this#post-838986 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 18:21:47 +0000 Anonymous 838986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think it can go either way, depending on where the waist hits. if it is too close to the boobage, you will get maternity, a bit lower, camouflage all the way. As a side note, that rouching at the hip is not for the bottom endowed, like moi, for example. that dress would be killer on an IT. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-dress-like-this#post-838966 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 17:46:28 +0000 cciele 838966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I would say it depends on the fabric and how your body is shaped. Not universally flattering, I'm afraid. Nice drape though, from the picture! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-dress-like-this#post-838913 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:59:17 +0000 rae 838913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On me, it depends if the waist hits in the correct place, too. Too high, and it can accentuate because it messes up the drape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-dress-like-this#post-838863 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:16:48 +0000 Amy 838863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you just need to give it a try! </p> <p>Or Not...just saw your comment about the reviews. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-dress-like-this#post-838859 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:12:28 +0000 Transcona Shannon 838859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aaaahhhhh....the old "boob to tummy ratio" issue! Yeah, mine aren't either Rita :(</p> <p>Excellent point! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-dress-like-this#post-838857 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:11:46 +0000 Laura 838857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank goodness for reviews. Ever since I noticed that often, when Angie recommends an item, she says, "read the raving reviews," I started reading them. And the reviews are usually right! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-dress-like-this#post-838853 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:10:26 +0000 modgrl 838853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll throw in one more thing - it depends on how big your boobs are and if they are bigger than your belly - mine aren't :(<br /> I wouldn't want all those pleats at my belly. I like rouching but at the side to create the illusion of a waist, not right in the middle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-dress-like-this#post-838852 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:10:07 +0000 Transcona Shannon 838852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's actually interesting when you read the reviews - not very flattering at all. Think I will be passing on this as it seems the suspicions about it accentuating bottom heaviness are accurate.</p> <p>Beth Ann - your elbows are gorgeous - lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-dress-like-this#post-838843 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:05:54 +0000 Beth Ann 838843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it depends much upon the fabric. I vote give it a try! I think it could be marvelous.</p> <p>BTW --- I see this and I think I"d have a case of old lady elbows. I hate to see a sleeve that ends right before the elbows, since I think mine look, well, fat and old. Is this common? Do I need intervention? An elbow makeover? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-dress-like-this#post-838785 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:25:05 +0000 Anonymous 838785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it is a clingy knit it will accentuate. If it is heavier and non-clingy it will camoflauge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-dress-like-this#post-838782 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:24:06 +0000 Transcona Shannon 838782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for weighing in ladies - Angie, please don't cry!</p> <p>I have had this dress sitting in my Anthro cart for almost two months now. I can't get it out of my head. It will have to sit there for a while longer as I ponder it further.</p> <p>What do you think of this style for me? I do like that it comes in petite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-dress-like-this#post-838779 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:22:30 +0000 Suz 838779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and it's navy! Squee! </p> <p>But I have a feeling it would look worse on me than on the model. That neckline doesn't seem to be my friend. YOU, however, can rock it, Shannon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-dress-like-this#post-838769 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:16:39 +0000 Laura 838769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aha - the cling factor. Guess this means you're going to have to try it on to know for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-dress-like-this#post-838764 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:14:51 +0000 Angie 838764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote camouflage *if* the fabric does not cling. Some knits cling so badly it makes me want to cry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-dress-like-this#post-838760 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:13:25 +0000 Laura 838760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote "camoflauge" but as always I am the eternal optimist Would love to hear what the pros have to say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-dress-like-this#post-838757 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:11:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 838757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...camoflauge or accentuate a tummy?</p> <p><a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/clothes-petite/25877143.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.anthropologie.com/a.....877143.jsp</a> </p>
