It's going to be fabulous.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search-round-two#post-1628186 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 02:03:48 +0000 Colette 1628186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really appreciate the feedback and I'm enjoying everyone's opinion. I love dress shopping and am having fun trying all different styles.</p> <p>shevia, I know what you mean about fussiness.</p> <p>chirico, I'm not feeling the red dress on me but it is a gorgeous dress.&nbsp;</p> <p>rachy, LOL, I'll take the white cloth and a hair/makeup team.</p> <p>Brooklyn, you are right.</p> <p>Janet, by the time you and I find our dresses we will probably have tried them all on between us.</p> <p>Staysfit, the hunt continues.</p> <p>Sheila, thank you. I can't wait to find my WOWZA.</p> <p>Angie, I like #1 but I actually like #4 better. This was a really bad picture, plus my bra straps were showing.&nbsp;Mum LOVES #4 so I ordered it in my size to show her.</p> <p>karen13, the Tadashi Shoji coral dress in #3 runs a tad bit big on me and hits just below my knee. The Maggie London in #4, runs pretty true to size on me. I'm 5'4 1/4" with a small bust.</p> <p>Echo, I love #2 as well, just not for this event. Bonus, it accentuates the girls and I'll take all the help I can get in that department.</p> <p>LisaP, I agree, #2 is really elegant and ladylike. I like to try on all different styles because I never know what is going to look and feel best on me.</p> <p>More dresses to come. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search-round-two#post-1628158 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 00:22:22 +0000 Anonymous 1628158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echo - nope, I like 1 and 2 also - a lot. Which makes me wonder if I have no idea how to consider dresses. I think the second one is incredibly elegant. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search-round-two#post-1628155 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 00:18:53 +0000 Echo 1628155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the style of dress #2, although it seems I am the only one. I think #2 looks amazing on you. However, in light of the previous dresses you tried on, I would go with one (or both!) of those before 1,3 or 4 here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search-round-two#post-1628149 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 00:11:13 +0000 karen13 1628149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Colette - I have been eyeing #3 and #4 online, trying to decide for an upcoming formal event. Did you find they fit true to size? I'm 100 &nbsp;miles from the nearest Nordstrom. I need petites and it is so hard to find local retailers that carry them.</p> <p>I like #1 style best on you, but love the color of #3 - I could never wear it but if you can - go for it!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search-round-two#post-1627976 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 16:37:31 +0000 Elle 1627976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that you should keep looking - these dresses don't do you justice. Why is dress shopping so frustrating..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search-round-two#post-1627946 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 15:31:48 +0000 Angie 1627946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #1, and #4 is next. Take them home and show Mum and hubs.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search-round-two#post-1627887 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 13:28:13 +0000 Sheila 1627887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes agreed... I liked the first two better. You have gorgeous figure and these do not do you justice.&nbsp; </p> <p>These are OK.. but you have WOWZA potential.... </p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search-round-two#post-1627885 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 13:18:24 +0000 Staysfit 1627885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, these are wrong. You have a similar problem to me in that many dresses fit, but that doesn't make them excellent. I understand your frustration, but the hunt should be worth it in the end. Keep trying! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search-round-two#post-1627878 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 13:00:41 +0000 El Cee 1627878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Colette -- Sorry for your frustration. In all honesty -- You could probably wear just about anything and look nice. You have a lovely figure. However, after seeing you in the floral frock and the black body con dress, these others just do not seem special enough. Keep looking. It will be worth the hunt.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search-round-two#post-1627875 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 12:50:25 +0000 Janet 1627875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you. Really underwhelmed by the dresses available right now. Those look nice on you, but I understand. </p> <p>I also received the T Shoji you tried (in teal) and was not thrilled. I think I'm too busty for it. </p> <p>Good luck moving forward! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search-round-two#post-1627853 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 09:25:58 +0000 Brooklyn 1627853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear them all well but I think you can do better </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search-round-two#post-1627842 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 07:29:26 +0000 rachylou 1627842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol. Sorry. Had to laugh. I had thought I liked 1 &amp; 4, but yeah, not so much in real life. In real life, I think I find them silly. If only one could stand in front of a white drop cloth all day... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search-round-two#post-1627832 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 05:42:19 +0000 chirico (Chiara) 1627832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Red dress, but if you don't feel it, you did the right thing leaving it at the store. Keep searching, I know it can be frustrating... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search-round-two#post-1627814 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 04:43:13 +0000 Jaime 1627814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first one best but the floral one you showed better. You look gorgeous in them all, it is just a question of fussiness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-search-round-two#post-1627811 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 04:40:43 +0000 Colette 1627811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Went shopping last weekend and tried on a bunch of dresses at Nordstrom. It was disappointing because only one dress was available in my size in store and I only tried it on because it was my size. Snapped a few pictures but stopped because they just kept getting worse after this bunch.</p> <p>We also went to Lord &amp; Taylor and there wasn't even a dress I was interested in trying on.</p> <p>On to round three, I'll be out shopping again this weekend. </p>
