You look gorgeous in both. I saw that black one online and drooled over it, and I think you wear it extremely well. I don't see overly body-con at all, but I think black really helps to make a bodycon cut look slim but not tight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search--round-one/page/2#post-1625591 Sun, 06 Mar 2016 10:03:18 +0000 Brooklyn 1625591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You should keep the black one if only for date nights with your SO.

You look Smashing. Like I-can't-stop-looking-at-you smashing!!!</p> <p>Much sadness that you and SO do not like florals.

Look for a shape that's similar to the floral dress for the wedding though-it's stunning on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search--round-one#post-1625397 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 22:20:24 +0000 Echo 1625397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really have a poison eye for anything too tight or too body-con, but BOTH of these dresses look AMAZING on you - classy and not too tight. Either would be smashing for a wedding, IMO. I have to agree with lisap, and if I looked like that in a dress, I'd be wearing one 24/7! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search--round-one#post-1625386 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 22:02:38 +0000 Anonymous 1625386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You rock both dresses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search--round-one#post-1625383 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 21:59:00 +0000 El Cee 1625383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are drop dead gorgeous in BOTH dresses Colette. You should really reconsider about prints because you wear them well. (My hubbie has the same reaction to me wearing bold florals. Yep… it is a poison eye thing.) I do not think that the black dress is too body con. You have an amazing figure and look stunning in that style.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search--round-one#post-1625364 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 21:34:01 +0000 Anonymous 1625364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it when the real woman looks better than the stock photos. &nbsp; </p> <p>Oh, I wanted to comment on your hand on your hip in the second photo. &nbsp;I love how "nonchalant" you look. &nbsp;I always look so stiff and posed. &nbsp;My pictures are painful to look at. &nbsp;I even tried AlaskaGirl's pose, but I couldn't make that work either. &nbsp;A friend of mine is a professional photographer and he tried to help me "look more natural." &nbsp;NOPE. &nbsp;Nothing I tried "looked natural." &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search--round-one#post-1625355 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 21:23:47 +0000 Anonymous 1625355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you look like a model in both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search--round-one#post-1625348 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 21:01:04 +0000 Mochi 1625348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw the pics first before reading. I was fully expecting to read that you kept them both, because you look amazing in both of them!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search--round-one#post-1625336 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 20:11:40 +0000 Vix 1625336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Colette --</p> <p>You look gorgeous in both but could see black + body con being a bit much for an April wedding.</p> <p>Shedding a tear or two because that floral looks amazing on and so suitable, but if you aren't feeling it you aren't feeling it. I hate so many prints but the ones I love I LOVE and can't wait to wear. [Good thing since I too live with a print-hater.]</p> <p>So I think it's good you're testing your boundaries since you never know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search--round-one#post-1625317 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 19:14:35 +0000 Momo 1625317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

They both look so great, but the floral is so cheerful and festive, which would make it lovely for a wedding. Ah well... Next! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search--round-one#post-1625283 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 17:38:46 +0000 Colette 1625283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You guys, I'm seriously blushing! If you only knew how hesitant I was to post my pictures. Your feedback is so appreciated.</p> <p>Kellygirl, what a nice compliment, thank you!</p> <p>Tanya, thank you, really nice of you to say!</p> <p>Angie, thank you, really so kind of you to chime in. I do LOVE the style of the black dress so I'll hold off on returning it, per your suggestion. I'll let my Mom see it in person, she has a great objective eye and is always spot on.</p> <p>Lisa, you are so funny, I can just see myself wearing dresses everyday, walking the dog in the floral dress and pumps, at least my neighbors would have something to talk about. Really, thank you for the compliments.</p> <p>Muffin, I am just not comfortable wearing any prints, small or large, floral or geometric, including stripes, but I am drawn to them. I do LOVE them on others though so I always try.</p> <p>Sterling, you should get the floral dress! It is so pretty! The color is true to the picture on the website and it has light grey and black in the print so it's easy to match shoes. It's very comfortable too.</p> <p>Eliza, I love dresses and dress shopping and have a little more time so I hope to have it all sorted out within the next few weeks.</p> <p>Bonnie, thank you, the black is also my favorite of the two.</p> <p>Smittie, seems like our men have similar taste in dresses. I have a very large shawl too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search--round-one#post-1625261 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 16:43:28 +0000 Anonymous 1625261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That first one is not really floral!<br /> Anyway, agreeing with everyone that both are awesome.<br /> My SO loves the body con too and one year I humored him with a black body con strapless black number. To tone it down, I wore avery large shawl </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search--round-one#post-1625256 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 16:39:04 +0000 Bonnie 1625256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is #2 because you gorgeous in it but #1 is also lovely and you will fit in if that's your goal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search--round-one#post-1625252 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 16:34:45 +0000 Eliza 1625252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them both on you, too.

It's a pitty that you and you're SO don't like or feel comfortable in them. Good luck on roud 2. I am curious about the end result!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search--round-one#post-1625231 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 16:07:41 +0000 Anonymous 1625231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie. &nbsp;WOW. &nbsp;</p> <p>I am sad that the floral dress didn't work out for you, but I respect your significant other's opinion. &nbsp;That just confirms I should buy it. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search--round-one#post-1625230 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 16:07:41 +0000 Muffin 1625230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Both are great on you but I understand the floral issue &amp; body conscious issue and needing to feel ourselves while still wanting our SO to think we are the most beautiful in the room. It's good you tried a wildcard floral because now you seem more clear on what you like. Is it all prints or just florals for you? Smaller, larger or geometric? I do agree that the dresses could be shortened a bit (but love the pink heels). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search--round-one#post-1625229 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 16:07:35 +0000 Anonymous 1625229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What ?? Keep them both ! Are you crazy ? If I looked like that in a dress I'd be wearing one every day ! That floral is outstanding - just beautiful . And with your fuschia pumps ? Ack. The back dress is just beyond beautiful and does not look body con. With your figure - so what if it is ? :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search--round-one#post-1625224 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 16:04:02 +0000 Angie 1625224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer Stunning Beautiful x2.&nbsp;</p> <p><i>WOW</i>. The floral makes me smile big time. Too bad SO doesn't like it.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Please consider keeping the black dress.&nbsp;</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search--round-one#post-1625217 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 15:54:20 +0000 Tanya 1625217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a pity, you look incredible in both of them. </p>
