More sleeve coverage<br /> 2. Knee length<br /> 3. Higher neckline<br /> 4. Below $140<br /> 5. Pretty detailing<br /> 6. Less 'prom-ish'</p> <p>Not entirely too sure if I succeeded on any of them . . . </p> <p><a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/bcbgeneration-dress-sleeveless-scoop-neck-one-shoulder-lace-overlay?ID=642215&#038;PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/shop/pro.....sn_results</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.nastygal.com/clothes/fancy-knot-dress?utm_source=ga&#038;utm_medium=affiliate&#038;utm_campaign=affiliate&#038;clickid=0004b8a66d366e250a2a85c53bc724c0" rel="nofollow">http://www.nastygal.com/clothe.....c53bc724c0</a></p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/pisarro-nights-beaded-tiered-chiffon-sheath-dress/3178535?origin=category" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/pi.....n=category</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-lyn-for-grad-d#post-538097 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 01:26:36 +0000 Mellllls 538097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-lyn-for-grad-d#post-538091 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 01:22:50 +0000 ibbi 538091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would you consider a strapless/spaghetti dress (easier to find than high-necklined dresses) with a bolero jacket or shawl/wrap for maximum coverage? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-lyn-for-grad-d#post-534064 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:31:35 +0000 lyn* 534064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Re: Trying on ...

Would wear it myself if it were longer. Are you happy to go braless? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-lyn-for-grad-d#post-533875 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:04:49 +0000 Transcona Shannon 533875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty dress Lyn and definitely looks like "you".

(I think this is what Rita is talking about when she says it's a little bit "prom.") </p> <p>Actually, I rather liked the black modcloth dress you posted yesterday... did you end up getting it? Depends on the fabric of course, but maybe that would work?</p> <p>I do like BCBG dresses quite a lot... around here, they often have them (on big discount too) at places like TJ Maxx so you might look at those types of stores. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-lyn-for-grad-d#post-533866 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:50:52 +0000 Debora 533866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up from me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-lyn-for-grad-d#post-533864 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:48:43 +0000 modgrl 533864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've set the bar pretty high for yourself by going against your environmental norm every day. Your crew is definitely going to expect something special from the doctor who runs code in heels! I love the dress but there is something about it that reads a little bit like high school prom. Also formalwear is super tricky. You really need to try it on to see if it looks good on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-lyn-for-grad-d#post-533858 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:41:01 +0000 MNsara 533858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress and the fit &amp; flare definitely looks like 'you'. </p> <p>The price isn't bad if it's NWT, and this IS a special occasion </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-lyn-for-grad-d#post-533809 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 12:24:36 +0000 rute 533809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress! Go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-lyn-for-grad-d#post-533805 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 12:15:44 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 533805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous is the perfect word for it. I think you would look lovely in it too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-lyn-for-grad-d#post-533785 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:40:37 +0000 Kirti 533785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this is gorgeous Lyn! I love the back detail and I don't think it looks immodest at all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-lyn-for-grad-d#post-533770 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:06:25 +0000 lyn67 533770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes it is very dr. Lyn! :-)<br /> I love the sheer back(still coverred!) and quirky front!!! Super fab!!! worth the money for sure!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-lyn-for-grad-d#post-533767 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:01:45 +0000 jenanded 533767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is very pretty Lyn, and still modest. Sitting down you have plenty of coverage... Congrats on graduating! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-lyn-for-grad-d#post-533766 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:01:44 +0000 Mochi 533766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lyn, this dress is gorgeous and very you. Yes, this is a milestone event that would be worth saving up for, and unlike a wedding gown I could envision tons of future wear out of this dress. Keep looking if you like, but this is an excellent fallback option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-lyn-for-grad-d#post-533761 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 09:55:20 +0000 lyn* 533761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Apparently I have to find something to wear for grad. I have been informed that it will be a sit-down dinner event where cocktail length is appropriate. I also have parents coming to this event, so I figured I should somewhat be modest; and my parents both have issues against spaghetti straps and strapless dresses.</p> <p>Are there any thoughts on this fit-and-flare in black from BCBG? It has a see-through back with the mesh detail which I think is quite pretty; and there's nothing wrong with showing a little back, right? Length I thought was okay; and the neckline isn't very low (so my scars won't show). </p> <p>It is about $168 on eBay; so more than I normally spend on a frock, but I guess this isn't a normal occasion? If I get an a-okay on YLF: I will start saving up for it (I have a few months time; so it should be doable). I was looking on kijiji and the "used grad dresses" of a high school type were being sold for &gt;$300. That's insane. I want a real dress for that price!!</p> <p>Any other brands I should be looking at? This is BCBG MaxAzira's "Cecile" - but I am open to other suggestions too :)</p> <p>Much love,<br /> Lyn </p>
