I had never tried a wrap dress before and I must admit that the cut is prety flattering!</p> <p>Thanks Echo! I usually stick to cotton and recently tried linen too, but I don't own any poly/poly blends. I think I need to revise my views of poly now!</p> <p>Thanks Meredith! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drapey-wrap-dress---should-i-buy-this#post-663014 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 02:21:25 +0000 Meredith1953 663014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a very pretty little dress! I think it will look lovely on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drapey-wrap-dress---should-i-buy-this#post-662856 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 22:24:25 +0000 Echo 662856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES! This is a beautiful dress and you should absolutely buy it IMO. Poly blends have come a long way and aren't what they once were. I wouldn't avoid a dress strictly on that basis. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drapey-wrap-dress---should-i-buy-this#post-662853 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 22:17:36 +0000 Deborah 662853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous dress and I think this style would be very flattering on you:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drapey-wrap-dress---should-i-buy-this#post-662602 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 17:35:58 +0000 Kirti 662602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Kate :-)</p> <p>Manidipa: Good point! I could never wear this in very humid weather! It's good to know that these are travel friendly </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drapey-wrap-dress---should-i-buy-this#post-662596 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 17:31:00 +0000 ManidipaM 662596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since extreme heat and humidity are not concerns for you, I vote yes. I love the couple of polyester dresses and tops I do have in cooler weather; and undeniably they are the easiest thing to drip-dry, so great for travel too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drapey-wrap-dress---should-i-buy-this#post-662583 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 17:10:16 +0000 Kate 662583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go for it, Kirti. I agree with the others about poly/poly blends. I've got a number of poly blend dresses and they wear and launder beautifully, and hold their shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drapey-wrap-dress---should-i-buy-this#post-662491 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 14:57:47 +0000 Kirti 662491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Natalie and Jilly </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drapey-wrap-dress---should-i-buy-this#post-662470 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 14:44:46 +0000 Jilly 662470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute dress - i think it would be very flattering on you. Sounds like the fabric will work, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drapey-wrap-dress---should-i-buy-this#post-662446 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 14:28:15 +0000 goldenpig 662446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up from me! If it feels good on, buy it! I think many of my stretchy dresses are poly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drapey-wrap-dress---should-i-buy-this#post-662422 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 14:13:18 +0000 Kirti 662422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Abie!

Some of them are so fab now that they wear and wash beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drapey-wrap-dress---should-i-buy-this#post-662415 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 14:09:23 +0000 Abie 662415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a handful of poly dresses that I love. For me it really comes down to quality, feel, and breathability If it feels nice against the skin and doesn't feel suffocating I'd go for it. It's a very pretty dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drapey-wrap-dress---should-i-buy-this#post-662413 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 14:07:47 +0000 cinnamon fern 662413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have jersey dresses in polyester, rayon, and cotton (all with a bit of spandex) and I've vowed to only go for the polyester in the future. After a dozen washings, the polyester ones look new and the others are starting to look a little sad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drapey-wrap-dress---should-i-buy-this#post-662409 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 14:04:33 +0000 Kari 662409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's beautiful.</p> <p>Kirti, most of the dresses I bought this year that I'm loving the heck out of are polyester blends. Not all polyesters are created equal, and the ones that I love best feel high quality and don't look cheap, much like you mentioned here. I wouldn't uniformly dismiss all polyester blends in one go without trying them out first! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drapey-wrap-dress---should-i-buy-this#post-662407 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 14:03:28 +0000 Anonymous 662407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! Yes, you should get it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drapey-wrap-dress---should-i-buy-this#post-662405 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 14:03:03 +0000 Kirti 662405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks rute </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drapey-wrap-dress---should-i-buy-this#post-662401 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 13:59:35 +0000 rute 662401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty! I would go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drapey-wrap-dress---should-i-buy-this#post-662370 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 13:36:15 +0000 Kirti 662370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi ladies! Sorry for being a bit MIA lately, I have been busy with house guests.</p> <p>I tried this faux wrap dress today and it fits perfectly. I like the pattern too. The only thing I am a little unsure about is the fabrication - it is 95% polyester and 5% elastane. The fabric isn't shiny/satiny like most polyester items. It feels like crepe and isn't heavy feeling at all. </p> <p>What do you think? Should I get it? </p>
