Please keep.<br /> I like #6 too!<br /> #3 is OK, fit is nice but the print is not as exciting as #8.<br /> I have reservations about the art fair dress, it is interesting, but I worry that it could look rather "mature" on you. It has a bit of that "embellished grandma sweater" vibe to it IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed/page/2#post-471867 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 04:50:34 +0000 Diana 471867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the leopard print dress best, hands down. The Kari dress is nice too but the colors/print are not as striking on you as the leopard. I'm not crazy about the Miss Sixty dress - I think it may be the pattern, but the proportions look a little off to me (it looks like it is too short even though I know it isn't because I can see where your knees are).</p> <p>Super cute capelet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed/page/2#post-471775 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 02:34:55 +0000 Debora 471775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, you had me with the caplet! How perfect it is with your petite frame! It is just gorgeous on you. All the dresses are fab, but I think that #8 is my favorite. I hope you get to keep them all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed/page/2#post-471765 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 02:28:09 +0000 Vicki 471765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On second look, I think I'm in agreement with Alicat and Angie now and like #8, too, along with my first pick. Can you get both??? I hope so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed/page/2#post-471753 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 02:20:21 +0000 modgrl 471753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! At least I know that none of them looks bad. I like the Miss Sixty and Jessica Simpson. Still thinking about the Kari dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471593 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 20:34:09 +0000 Nakidra 471593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, I know I'm late to the party, but I am IN LOVE with 6 and 8 on you! You HAVE to keep them!<br /> Also Love #1 ... you look great... how are you able to manage those color boots with black and gray?! that looks really awesome on you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471499 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 18:22:55 +0000 Anonymous 471499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so cute in everything but my favorite is 1/2 followed by 6/7. I don't know about the art fair dress (#10) as it's hard to judge the fit and quality. It would be unique. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471405 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 16:35:29 +0000 Heather 471405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, as soon as I saw you in the leo JS frock, I cheered aloud! Wowee! I adore the print and fit. Okay, just think of how many ways you can remix this frock.....black blazer, boots (brown and black), leather jacket (cognac, black, brown), furry vest, cardigans (bf and reg styles), patterned hosiery and heels for a date night, flats, jewelry, AND I feel this could be a three season frock for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471400 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 16:15:52 +0000 Angie 471400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, wow! I'm not going to be any help because you look sensational in all of these items, Rita.</p> <p>Animal print is a classic - and a trend. FWIW, I wouldn't hesitate for a second if you love that dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471398 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 16:10:20 +0000 bj1111 471398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 is my fave. the print feels new and it lights up your face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471362 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 15:12:34 +0000 nancylee 471362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The capelet is adorable. Love! As far as the dresses go, I like the Nine West and Jessica Simpson best. The art fair dress possibility looks great, too. How cool would it be to have something so unique to wear? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471346 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 14:44:22 +0000 Queen Mum 471346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, the JS dress is hands down killer! You must keep that one.<br /> .</p> <p>I'm torn between the first two dresses. I think I have a slight preference for the Kari dress...the longer length is more on trend and the colors seem a tad better for you.</p> <p>The capelet is fabulous too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471324 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 14:13:54 +0000 Anonymous 471324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#8 knocks my socks off! A dress that looks that amazing on you is timeless. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471323 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 14:11:07 +0000 missvee 471323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Once I saw the Art Fair dress the others kind of paled in comparison. But I would hope you could try on a sample before ordering it so that you could see how it fits and drapes and whether the neckline is comfortable . As for the others I like the colours in #3 but not the way the skirt drapes (seems to come in at the knee). I like the colours and fit of #6 and #8. If I had to pick only one I'd probably go for #6 just because the colours are fresher on you and the neckline is so flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471313 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 13:10:21 +0000 Sona 471313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita: how many dresses are you wanting to keep- i.e one or more? I like the Jessica Simpson on you a lot because of how the colors brighten your complexion and the overall look of the dress but yes I don't know about animal print. Although many say animal print is now a neutral? and it looks like I've seen it every fall in some iteration or the other for atleast 5+ years. I think the miss ixty dress has a lot o styling potential- casual/dressy. I am least sure about the Kari dress too. will look forward to your further pics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471309 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 12:49:36 +0000 modgrl 471309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good points about the art fair dress, I really feel like I would have to try it to know if it was me or not. The Kari dress is the one I'm most unsure about and these are the pictures that turned out the worst. I will have to repost better ones later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471307 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 12:31:37 +0000 sarah 471307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your capelet! And I think your dresses are all great - you could keep an or all of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471227 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 04:59:33 +0000 Suz 471227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>mmm. Anna makes a good point about leopard print. Depends on the price and how much you would need to wear it for it to earn its spot (so to speak). But you know...it's a bit abstract and with a topper over wouldn't be so obviously animal print as some animal prints. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471226 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 04:56:40 +0000 rae 471226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Capelet is awesome! Out of all the dresses, I like 8 the best... but I wonder if it's because it goes best with the cognac boots? Hmmm... Ana makes a good point about the leopard print. Have you always been a leopard gal, or is it new to you this season. The art fair dress is a bit of a departure. Unfortunatley I think I'd have to see it on to decide, and you'd have to have it made just to try it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471206 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 04:00:07 +0000 annagybe 471206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the capelet a lot. I'm a little leery of the animal print dress. Leopard is trending so hard right now, I fear it's going to crash like the stock market.<br /> I don't think the art fair dress is you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471204 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 03:57:44 +0000 Amy 471204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At the risk of not being very helpful, I love them all on you! I have a capelet and wear it a lot during the chilly months. It's really great for keeping you toasty and looks cute to boot. The dress in number 9 is my least favorite, although I like it. The silhouette is not quite as flattering on you as the others. The art fair dress is unique and I'm a big champion of hand-crafted garments, so I'd encourage you to give it a try if it's in your budget. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471203 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 03:56:07 +0000 modgrl 471203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These replies are making me laugh!! This is exactly how I feel about these dresses -- all over the place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471200 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 03:49:49 +0000 Mo 471200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3 as well, with the Jessica Simpson in a close second. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471199 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 03:48:21 +0000 Vicki 471199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still LOL at comment by Dianthus and forgiving the dress! Very good, D. I have to agree with her. I LIKE the black and white dress on you in #9. Is there anything you can't wear? I love the capelet in 1-2 and I really like the Miss Sixty dress in 3-5. It's figure-flattering and the pattern looks stunning on you! As for 10, is this the color that will be made for you, too? Art shows are awaiting, modgrl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471198 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 03:47:19 +0000 Sheila 471198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the Jessica Simpson dress on you, also the capelet. If you like the art fair dress, then I say go for it...do you think you would wear it enough to justify the cost? It is pretty unique and the neckline might be itchy...what is the fabric content? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471196 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 03:43:25 +0000 Suz 471196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First, the capelet is fabulous! What a terrific piece! And you already heard me on the purple dress; it's gorgeous, so really it's a question of whether it feels like "you" and where and when you intend to wear it. </p> <p>The Jessica Simpson dress may not be the best quality, (I have no experience of her dresses) but it looks fantastic on you. If the price is right, I say go for it! It does look really good with those boots, too, which may be influencing our perceptions some, but I'm pretty sure I would like it even if you had tried it barefoot. </p> <p>As between the others, I like #3 much better than #6. First, for the colours, and also for the cut, which seems more sophisticated on you. You could wear #3 with black, grey, nude or taupe footwear (Miz Mooz boots, anyone?). It would look good with several of your toppers (black jackets, that little grey one, maybe?, the pinky beige one, perhaps, denim....the list goes on.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471190 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 03:33:03 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 471190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the capelet and it looks great over the t-neck. I like the first dress the best of all. The color and print are beautiful on you. I also like the polka do dress you wore to the fair. I think it looks very pretty and you should forgive it for whatever it did to anger you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471186 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 03:29:45 +0000 HelenInCanada 471186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The purple Art Fair dress is just exquisite and divine!!!</p> <p>I think you should keep the lovely capelet and the squiggly Nine West Kari dress. The fit and colours are wonderful!</p> <p>I'm not 100% ga-ga on the other dresses...they're all simply fine to me, probably very wearable, so it's up to you how much YOU love them! I do agree that the animal-print Jessica Simpson dress fits you like a dream! As for quality...haven't tried her dresses (yet), but am surprised by how much I like and wear my Jess Simp asymmetrical striped tunic (cotton/wool blend) - wasn't expecting great quality, but there ya go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471179 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 03:22:00 +0000 Anonymous 471179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. I like the first dress! The next one I wasn't that crazy about (maybe because the pictures were out of focus). I love the Jessica Simpson one, and the black and white dress I could pass on, just because it doesn't look that special--I see a lot of black and white and its not my favorite color combo (shhh don't tell Angie)! So take that with a grain of salt.<br /> Because I have grey hair, I was focusing in on your dark hair and how each dress picked up a little of it's color in the print so I liked what the first and third (Jessica Simpson) dresses did for that part of your coloring. As far as your complexion goes, I can't really make a judgement.<br /> I know you have lots of different footwear options, but I actually liked how your chestnut (cognac?) boots here look with the J.S. dress. Love the capelet. Styled to perfection! I think it might be a more practical take-away from your outing today than the hand-made dress, but if you need a special occasion dress, by all means go for it. The color would be lovely on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-keep-or-returns-your-help-needed#post-471165 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 03:08:51 +0000 lyn* 471165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 8 the most :)</p> <p>I like 3 and 6 the least - I don't think the colours look that well with your beautiful colouring </p>
