Congrats on finding a gorgeous dress and enjoying the process. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-both-work-and-wedding/page/2#post-1858429 Mon, 06 Nov 2017 04:22:41 +0000 Lucy 1858429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect dress! I think you look smashing. Couldn't be better.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-both-work-and-wedding/page/2#post-1858343 Sun, 05 Nov 2017 19:57:18 +0000 Jane 1858343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress you have chosen, well done! Lots of praise from Angie (I would be glowing!). I am so pleased you enjoyed your shopping. Back to the dress, I really like the zip, it takes the edge off the sweetness and provides a modern take. The grey dress I though was also gorgeous and fitted really well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-both-work-and-wedding/page/2#post-1858338 Sun, 05 Nov 2017 18:57:14 +0000 Kate 1858338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look stunning in that black floral dress, Anne. It’s perfect for the occasion. Looks work appropriate too. If your budget can take the hit, please buy that gray dress too. It is gorgeous on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-both-work-and-wedding/page/2#post-1858336 Sun, 05 Nov 2017 18:30:58 +0000 MsGreer 1858336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the dress even better on you! Looks awesome and should be a very versatile. Great Choice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-both-work-and-wedding/page/2#post-1858335 Sun, 05 Nov 2017 18:08:36 +0000 unfrumped 1858335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect dress. Sophisticated but pretty. You look like a million in this! No contest with other dresses. Sooo glad you snagged it.<br /> You should really think about more “ dark florals”. I find the combination of light and dark super helpful in looking more grown up but still having good glowy face colors like pinks and corals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-both-work-and-wedding/page/2#post-1858265 Sun, 05 Nov 2017 04:38:10 +0000 Dianna 1858265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loved the one you chose, Anne. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-both-work-and-wedding/page/2#post-1858234 Sun, 05 Nov 2017 00:36:40 +0000 anne 1858234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie and Gill- thanks!<br /> Fashiontern. I think I can pull it off in terms of office suitability. :-)<br /> Just conscious of my scoliosis. </p> <p>Definitely no yoga in this. But I did test it and I can dance! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-both-work-and-wedding/page/2#post-1858157 Sat, 04 Nov 2017 16:38:53 +0000 jill58 1858157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress and it fits you perfectly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-both-work-and-wedding/page/2#post-1858154 Sat, 04 Nov 2017 16:04:17 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1858154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, now that you mention the zipper, it does seem surprising in an office dress. If your personality offline is anywhere near as measured and uplifting as your persona here, then you can pull it off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-both-work-and-wedding/page/2#post-1858140 Sat, 04 Nov 2017 14:41:31 +0000 Angie 1858140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Anne</b>, I meant to say "Fabber" - but wrote blogger (needed more tea) - but you ARE a blogger, so it all worked out.&nbsp;</p> <p>The florals temper the black close to your face, and the black cools down the florals. Sorted.</p> <p>Yeah. Zippered styles are tricky. I'm reminding you that you don't need to do yoga in the dress. *smiling* &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-both-work-and-wedding/page/2#post-1858082 Sat, 04 Nov 2017 04:33:22 +0000 anne 1858082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much all of you for commenting!</p> <p>Angie - you are so sweet (and I was thinking "I'm not a blogger" and then I realised I have a YLF blog - so I am! Thanks to you and Greg) My pleasure (and benefit) sticking with you for sure.&nbsp;<br />I do have a few tiny niggles with the dress 1) it is black near my face which I've been trying to avoid 2) the floral colours are warm not cool 3) the&nbsp; zip curves&nbsp; a little, probably&nbsp; because of my mild scoliosis. But I'm willing to be persuaded on this points if this is indeed my best outfit in 11 years!!<br />Bijou - I did REALLY like the Cue dress. And you will appreciate the great the tailoring and quality of Cue dresses. Plus made in Australia, usually. Did you get one similar to this in the winter?&nbsp; I'll have to look at the budget!<br />Thanks GF - that's a sweet dress and would fit the work/ wedding brief. I can see it being a potential problem fitting with my long torso though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-both-work-and-wedding/page/2#post-1858077 Sat, 04 Nov 2017 03:47:51 +0000 gradfashionista 1858077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks fantastic—perfect fit. I was going to pop in to suggest the J. Crew Origami dress—if you could find it on eBay—but even under the best or circumstances, I can’t imagine it looking better than this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-both-work-and-wedding/page/2#post-1857999 Fri, 03 Nov 2017 19:57:03 +0000 rachylou 1857999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow!

This looks amazing on you! A K to the power of K, it don't get any better than that! I think it looks even better at home than at the store.
