I love the look of the first dress -- it doesn't read "big girl underneath this dress" to me at all. It seems like a terrific waist surrender silhouette. I love the second one as well. I know that I fall in and out of love with certain silhouettes, and I am enthusiastically supporting your recent discovery of your waistline! </p> <p>Feel better soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-ponderings#post-650596 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 00:13:23 +0000 Aida 650596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*HUGS* Sona, I wonder if maybe instead of putting things in the donate pile right away it might be better to just set aside until your health improves. That way you don't have pieces in your closet that make you unhappy, but you can make better judgement on them later when you are feeling better. I also love both of these dresses on you :} </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-ponderings#post-650594 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 00:09:38 +0000 Deborah 650594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both dresses Sona. You look lovely. Surrendering the waist can be very liberating:) Take care of yourself. Not long now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-ponderings#post-650314 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 19:42:44 +0000 biscuitsmom 650314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you're feelig better really soon and your surgery goes smoothly.

As before with your purple dress, all I see is a mod dress on top of long, pretty legs. But I have a suspiscion that you are falling in love with the cinched waist look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-ponderings#post-650311 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 19:38:57 +0000 Debbie 650311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both dresses on you.

And the blue sleeveless certainly does not make you look large in any way - it is nice to have a comfy dress for bbq's and such occasions.<br /> Could it work with a nice loose belt? It is a fabulous shade of blue for you. </p> <p>Hope you feel a bit stronger soon and will continue to send healing vibes your way </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-ponderings#post-650025 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 15:03:55 +0000 lyn* 650025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do love the blue on you, Sona - I love that shade but can't seem to pull it off myself!

I really love the second dress, but I think the first is pretty good-looking too! Could you keep it to layer over, in the cooler months, since the color is so fab on you? </p> <p>Please get some rest :)!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-ponderings#post-649988 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 14:28:53 +0000 Angie 649988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both frocks too! On a really hot day - we need breezy. </p> <p>I love the floral frock on you even more :)</p> <p>Hang in there. (((HUGS))). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-ponderings#post-649979 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 14:21:11 +0000 Transcona Shannon 649979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that cobalt dress on you Sona - are you sure you really want to consign it? Maybe you just don't like the way you look in it now because you're not feeling well? It's just a different style but I think it looks great.</p> <p>The second dress is a great combination of colors and pattern for you and I love the shorter length for a summer dress.</p> <p>Please take good care of yourself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-ponderings#post-649975 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 14:19:50 +0000 Amy 649975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry you weren't feeling well! I hope you're on the road to recovery.</p> <p>I sometimes think loose and flowy garments are harder to evaluate from a photograph than in person. I like the blue dress.</p> <p>The floral is a clear winner, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-ponderings#post-649968 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 14:05:13 +0000 celia 649968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that second dress. It looks very good on you.<br /> And I like the color in dress #1, couldn't you have it tailored? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-ponderings#post-649961 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 13:59:37 +0000 lyn67 649961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both dfresses on you, pls don't consign the royal blue one!!! great colour and bet so comfy, still looking fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-ponderings#post-649930 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 13:28:58 +0000 Anonymous 649930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad to see you post, beautiful Sona, I've been worried about you. You look fab. Now please take it easy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-ponderings#post-649924 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 13:24:18 +0000 rute 649924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both dresses! does not make you bigger, you'll just have to get used to render your waist! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-ponderings#post-649918 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 13:12:37 +0000 harmonica 649918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that saturated blue on you and that dress looks FAB! You have such a glamorous vibe going on and you totally rock it.</p> <p>I know so well the feeling of being ill and too exhausted, but still carrying on. Take care of yourself and don't overdo things. I know it's hard, but you can't be everywhere and people will understand (very hard to accept, though) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-ponderings#post-649907 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 13:04:23 +0000 Sona 649907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>these are not the best pics. We had a busy weekend which I was not sure I would be able to physically be up to. Saturday we went to two graduation parties ( I stayed 15 minutes at both). Sunday we had inivited people over for a bbq a month ago and I felt bad about cancelling so decided to 'keep calm and carry on'. Well I was very, very tired and feeling quite sick at the end of it but was happy I could soldier through it.</p> <p>Anyway pics 1 and 2 are from sunday bbq- AT ponte knit dress. I realized despite its flowiness it really made me look bigger! It is in the consign basket.</p> <p>the other pics are from saturday. Ms K picked this dress out for me from the current issue of lucky magazine and courtesy 6 pm it arrived at my door. I actually wore it with a white cardi not the cropped denim jacket. It is a short summer dress but was appropriate for a hot summer outdoor grad party.</p> <p>My epiphany: thanks to all the YLF coaching and mentoring: loose or flowy can often be less figure flattering!! Waist definition ( of my non existent waist) works miracles.</p> <p>Another in my set of YLF inspired miraculous syle epiphanies. </p>
