I would pair it with brown leggings and brown leather sandals. You know, Jesus-style sandals. They would provide the link to the 70s and the leggings would pull it into the present, and make the shortness of the dress seem a little less young, if you know what I mean. A wood pendant on a leather cord would also help to counteract the girliness of it (which I am not knocking, BTW), and also evoke the hippy vibe, while staying more modernly sleek. I hope I am making sense here... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-trapeze-dress-look-good-on-me-should-i-keep-it#post-785701 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 23:14:55 +0000 unfrumped 785701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It IS short--does that work for you?</p> <p>Other than that, I like the suggestions that aim toward making it less sweet, but not so much by using black boots or other cool colors one might use with white. More of the warm neutrals going for the lace/brown leathers/tweed-type combos. Even then, the trapeze style wouldn't be my first choice for lace for that, so I'm no help. Or you may just like the mini-dress look as it is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-trapeze-dress-look-good-on-me-should-i-keep-it#post-785400 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 17:48:26 +0000 ElleH 785400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Emily only the sleeves are sheer it is lined elsewhere and I am wearing a black bra &amp; red panties because I was trying a lot of stuff on &amp; couldn't be bothered changing underwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-trapeze-dress-look-good-on-me-should-i-keep-it#post-785373 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 17:23:23 +0000 ElleH 785373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All good suggestions &amp; questions ladies, thanks. I'm going into a Summer vacation in Oz so I didn't try tights but I could wear it as a tunic on cooler days. It is too short to belt but it is supposed to be a 60s 70s mod style dress, short &amp; unbelted. As far as my style goals go I like 60s 70s fashion. See this pic taken of Linda Ronstadt in the 70s when she lived here in Topanga. I know she is probably much younger then than I am now &amp; maybe that is what I should be considering.</p> <p>I asked about shoes etc as I didn't want to look too costumey by wearing all 60s or 70s. I usually do that but have learned on YLF that retro should be mixed with modern, which is why I paired it with booties. I have worn it before with a floppy hat &amp; tan Frye campus boots, which is more 70s. The angel sleeves &amp; lace make it more 70s than 60s mod, though the trapeze started in the 60s I think </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-trapeze-dress-look-good-on-me-should-i-keep-it#post-785371 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 17:21:33 +0000 Raisin 785371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It definitely looks good on you. I could see it paired with tights and boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-trapeze-dress-look-good-on-me-should-i-keep-it#post-785368 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 17:18:29 +0000 Julie 785368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dress. I had one very similar before I gained weight and grew out of it. Still looking for a replacement. I'm with Laura in that it would be fabulous over jeans. Not just skinny jeans, either but boot cut jeans, too. Either way, wear your highest heel boots for max leg lengthening effect. Enjoy your dress.</p> <p>Cheers</p> <p>Julie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-trapeze-dress-look-good-on-me-should-i-keep-it#post-785277 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 15:59:03 +0000 Emily 785277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you, but is it a touch on the sheer side? It looks fantastic with those booties - you have great legs. As far as styling, maybe boho with brown boots and a jean jacket or go tough/sweet with leather leggings? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-trapeze-dress-look-good-on-me-should-i-keep-it#post-785269 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 15:52:09 +0000 Anonymous 785269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love what Andrea put together for you. Wow, what interest. Otherwise, I'd try black opaque tights/leggings and throw a denim jacket on top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-trapeze-dress-look-good-on-me-should-i-keep-it#post-785220 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 14:45:55 +0000 JenT 785220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote pairing it with a moto jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-trapeze-dress-look-good-on-me-should-i-keep-it#post-785150 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 13:51:38 +0000 Suz 785150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would do what Laura suggests...if that works for you. Otherwise, I'd be like Deborah, asking if it fits with your style goals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-trapeze-dress-look-good-on-me-should-i-keep-it#post-785115 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 13:11:36 +0000 Laura 785115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wear it as a tunic over skinny jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-trapeze-dress-look-good-on-me-should-i-keep-it#post-785106 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 12:41:21 +0000 TraceyLiz65 785106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it would look nice with a moto jacket and a long pendant necklace.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-trapeze-dress-look-good-on-me-should-i-keep-it#post-785088 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 11:47:29 +0000 Atlantia 785088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think if you add a belt, it might become too short. But I love the texture, and I don't think it NEEDS a belt.<br /> It would be fun to experiment with a winter white outfit... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-trapeze-dress-look-good-on-me-should-i-keep-it#post-785079 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 11:07:49 +0000 Deborah 785079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elle this seems a little different to other outfits I have seen you post. It's pretty but a little "girly". I am wondering how this fits with your current style goals? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-trapeze-dress-look-good-on-me-should-i-keep-it#post-785073 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 10:09:13 +0000 sandra 785073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it too. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-trapeze-dress-look-good-on-me-should-i-keep-it#post-785072 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 09:14:52 +0000 Andrea W 785072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks lovely on you!</p> <p>How about with some different patterns, colours and textures - ie tapestry/leopard/fur?<br /> As per my attached pic. I think the toning colours pull it all together - ie the berry leggings, brown leopard and tapestry detailing on the bag.</p> <p>Hope this is some help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-trapeze-dress-look-good-on-me-should-i-keep-it#post-785037 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 06:06:18 +0000 Asingh 785037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elle, I like it. How about adding a brown belt and some tan boots? You could also add a necklace or scarf for a pop of colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-trapeze-dress-look-good-on-me-should-i-keep-it#post-785030 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 05:51:33 +0000 ElleH 785030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Any suggestions on how to style it are welcome, like what shoes...Thanks </p>
