I would use some gold statement jewelry to accent it. Like everyone else has said, length would be my only concern but if it fits you well, I'd go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration/page/2#post-1378404 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 15:26:04 +0000 Suz 1378404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous dress if the length works. It does look like a tunic on the model, but give it a bash and see!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration/page/2#post-1378347 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 12:10:17 +0000 Neel 1378347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't wait to see it! I really love the dress and if you are cool with the length .... Tights can help with the *covered* feeling </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration#post-1378252 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 04:39:27 +0000 Anonymous 1378252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the dress, diffently worth a try. Would look great with a statement necklace. If it doesn't work, maybe take a look at Piperlime. They have a few elusive sleeved dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration#post-1378107 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 23:23:47 +0000 Echo 1378107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that it's worth a try, but I think the sheer panel will make it too short. It reads as almost obscene on the model because its true length is the solid above the sheer panel, not below (at least the eye sees it that way).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration#post-1378034 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 22:18:23 +0000 unfrumped 1378034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the style for you--may prefer dresses that have teeny bit more hem structure but you don't really need it. My bias is that the sheer inset is in an unfortunate&nbsp;place and will make it problematic for wearing with sheer hose or bare leg and so less versatile, but you'd have to try to see, perhaps it translates okay IRL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration#post-1377864 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 18:22:26 +0000 texstyle 1377864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it for you una and hope that it does work in length. The style seems pretty perfect for you *and* it seems like you could really style it a lot of different ways. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration#post-1377843 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 17:54:15 +0000 catgirl 1377843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone - there are all kinds of deal breakers to consider here but I think I'm going to try. I have several returns that will make up for some of the cost. Will post pics when it arrives! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration#post-1377781 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 16:18:00 +0000 Dee 1377781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's an awesome dress. I'm your height and would be a little uncomfortable with the sheer panel, but you're willing to push the envelope a bit more than I am, so I could definitely see it working on you. The question of tights is a good one though. If you wear black, does it defeat the purpose of the the sheer panel? Or do you wear nude hose? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration#post-1377777 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 16:11:38 +0000 AviaMariah 1377777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I love it and think it might be long enough. &nbsp;I love that it's simple enough that it can be worn across a variety of dressy occasions and the insets make it interesting and &nbsp;a little edgy. &nbsp;You could enhance the edginess as much as you wanted by your leg/foot wear. &nbsp; </p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration#post-1377773 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 16:04:57 +0000 carter 1377773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you clarified on length. My first thought was to wear pretty panties!</p> <p>For color and pattern, have you tried Ali Ro dresses? I love her dramatic patterned shift dresses. Seriously comfy and go from work to cocktail.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/s?rh=n%3A1045024%2Cp_4%3AAli+Ro" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/s?rh=n%3.....4%3AAli+Ro</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/Ali-Ro/Designers/cat21410731/c.cat" rel="nofollow">http://www.neimanmarcus.com/Al.....0731/c.cat</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration#post-1377768 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 15:58:09 +0000 Deb 1377768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adorable, youthful, fun, flirty, fashionable yet classic. A good choice. Since you look shorter than the model, the hem length will be more mid to lower thigh on you, and less of a mini, which may be more appropriate for the functions you mentioned and for comfort when sitting and bending. Go for it.....it should suit you well. While Caro's choices are nice, I prefer your choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration#post-1377760 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 15:44:10 +0000 rute 1377760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love, my kind of dress, of course, I'm petite and the this would be a perfect lenght for me. You can always try it and wear with opaque black tights&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration#post-1377637 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 12:48:11 +0000 Joyce B 1377637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice dress as long as it does not fit too short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration#post-1377633 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 12:40:15 +0000 ironkurtin 1377633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration#post-1377570 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 06:38:44 +0000 Desmo April 1377570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As another option, I love the long sleeve hi low hem dress that Caro posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration#post-1377567 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 06:30:05 +0000 Ingunn 1377567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it, Una, and I think it would look great on you, granted the length is comfortable.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration#post-1377564 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 06:01:34 +0000 Lucy 1377564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my! I do love it, and I think you would rock it. But I'd love a few extra inches. Though as a fellow shortie I know things can often work, so the only way to know will be to try.&nbsp;<br />I think it would be a versatile buy, and I could imagine it made more casual with tights and chunky boots too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration#post-1377560 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 05:38:41 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1377560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's really cool looking, if the length works. If the length doesn't work, you could add another sheer panel at the waist, backed by something--a nude lining, perhaps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration#post-1377550 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 05:16:39 +0000 Caro in Oz 1377550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Faux leather:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.shopbop.com/faux-leather-neck-mini-dress/vp/v=1/845524441950664.htm?folderID=2534374302152371&amp;fm=other-shopbysize-viewall&amp;colorId=12867">http://www.shopbop.com/faux-le.....3437430215</a></p> <p>Too boho?<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/astr-bell-sleeve-shift-dress/3804989?origin=keywordsearch">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/as.....wordsearch</a></p> <p>Hi low hem??<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/wayf-long-sleeve-crepe-shift-dress/3620133?origin=keywordsearch">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/wa.....wordsearch</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/wayf-crepe-shift-dress/3742788?origin=keywordsearch">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/wa.....wordsearch</a></p> <p>Too memorable?<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/michael-michael-kors-houndstooth-sequin-shift-dress/3806115?origin=keywordsearch">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/mi.....igin=keywo</a></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration#post-1377547 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 04:55:01 +0000 catgirl 1377547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie does this brand run small?

Any suggestions? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration#post-1377539 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 04:43:00 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1377539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it for you, at least without seeing it on. My question would be tights or hose, and what color (assuming it's too cold for bare legs)? Patterned semi sheer might be fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration#post-1377529 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 04:22:35 +0000 catgirl 1377529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting, Rabbit! I'm looking more for fun cocktail party than formal but not sporty... The pic makes it hard to tell in the sheerness. Food for thought... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration#post-1377528 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 04:22:34 +0000 Tina 1377528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Huge difference in length between you and the model! Why does that never happen to me? I'm 5'3" and dresses are almost always too short. Mind you, a dress that is just above the knee will pull up more than a skirt because it has to pull from the shoulders not the waist when bending over or sitting down, it may be my level of comfort that is talking here.<br /> I would try it. It is a very attractive dress and the style would totally suit you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration#post-1377526 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 04:20:52 +0000 rabbit 1377526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's cool. &nbsp;The question is will it read too sporty (the stripes, even though sheer read a little sporty to me)&nbsp;/casual tunic-y for the events you intend it for, or will it be fine and can you dress it up with the accessories and shoes. &nbsp;</p> <p>I'm assuming with your height the length would be fine, but you know, a sit down test to see what you can see through the bottom stripe in various positions might be good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-peration#post-1377524 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 04:15:56 +0000 catgirl 1377524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Tina! Honesty is good. I'm barely 5'2" - this would be above the knee on me. </p> <p>This dress is 1.5" more and here is how it falls on me...</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/press-forest-print-shift-dress/3829305?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=0&#038;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_1_A" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/pr.....ts-_-1_1_A</a></p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-forest-print-dress-sized-down-and-danier-jacket-going-back" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....going-back</a> </p>
