I hope you get to try the dress today. I am anxious to read your update and review of the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-8#post-1896753 Wed, 07 Mar 2018 02:41:19 +0000 Lynn 1896753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sterling- I can't wait to hear what you think. That is a beautiful dress. I really like the floral side but the navy side would be a great basic.&nbsp;<br />Like you I rarely wore dresses when I was working. Bit now I am finding I like flowy dresses for summer wear. I am keeping fingers crossed that it works for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-8#post-1896698 Tue, 06 Mar 2018 19:42:38 +0000 shiny 1896698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been in separates mode for a long while now but feel a dress mode coming on again!</p> <p>Here's my spring/summer dress capsule -- does not include the super casual cotton day dresses I wouldn't wear to work. The dresses on the bottom row are older ones I've had for awhile. The dresses on the top have been recently added in the last year -- all from Macy's! I now live near a Macy's and I've been having good success with their petite lines Connected and Alfani. (And yes I duplicated that 3/4 sleeve assymetrical hem dress .... fits well and is super comfy and forgiving, plus can be dressed up or down and packs well too).&nbsp;</p> <p>Can you see a theme? Black &amp; white! With some navy thrown in for good measure. I have learned that neutrals are the dresses I reach for most often. That purple one is fun, comfortable, fits well but I always feel overly conspicuous in it, unless I'm traveling down south.&nbsp;</p> <p>The sleeveless B&amp;W striped tent shirt dress (top row) looks super cute over EF slim ankle pants. Sheath dress (on the bottom row) is from AT and I have that duplicated in black as well, both sheaths have the matching suit jacket for when I need to dress more formally at work.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-8#post-1896663 Tue, 06 Mar 2018 14:15:37 +0000 Colette 1896663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Watching with interest and looking forward to your review. The reversible aspect of this dress is brilliant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-8#post-1896643 Tue, 06 Mar 2018 11:41:20 +0000 Anonymous 1896643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, <b>Dana</b>. &nbsp;It was the body consciousness aspect that concerned me the most. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-8#post-1896620 Tue, 06 Mar 2018 05:56:11 +0000 Anonymous 1896620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress! The fact that it's reversible is just icing on the cake.I need to keep my eye out for a reversible dress now! haha </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-8#post-1896617 Tue, 06 Mar 2018 05:05:01 +0000 Dana 1896617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sterling</b>, I work very pt at WHBM. The dress you're looking at is super flattering!!! I actually prefer the floral side, but the navy is really nice as well. IMHO, the navy isn't too body con for a professional look with a topper over it. One of my co-workers who is a professional speaker has the dress in a different color combo and finds it perfectly professional for speaking (for her audiences.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-8#post-1896596 Tue, 06 Mar 2018 03:02:45 +0000 Debbie 1896596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you get to try it.

One is a wrap dress from ages ago, and the other is a sheath dress from this past fall. I love them both, but I have never tried their reversible dresses. The sheath dress is fitted, but not overly so. I did try on one of their “body perfecting” dresses and it was very fitted so I passed on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-8#post-1896574 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 23:44:44 +0000 Brooklyn 1896574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope that you get to try it later. It's a really pretty dress. I am intrigued by the reversible aspect.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-8#post-1896562 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 22:43:09 +0000 Gigi 1896562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for trying new things!</p> <p>I have generally found WHBM to be of pretty good quality. I recently bought a colorblock sheath dress from there, and it is nicely lined and seems like it will hold up. A lot of their stuff is machine washable too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-8#post-1896558 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 22:25:06 +0000 texstyle 1896558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you want a great dress with sleeves, this one is about perfect to me. So flattering, soft and can be dressed up or down. Can't find a "Find" for it. Wish she had a short sleeved version but the cold AC might allow me to wear it with the sleeves for spring/summer anyway.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.garnethill.com/eileen-fisher-viscose-jersey-three-quarter-sleeve-v-neck-dress/womens-fashion/eileen-fisher-clothing/414230?&amp;defattribvalue=main">https://www.garnethill.com/eil.....womens-fas</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-8#post-1896545 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 21:40:05 +0000 Anonymous 1896545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sigh. &nbsp;My day got changed around. &nbsp;I never made it to the mall. &nbsp;I'm going to try for later this week. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-8#post-1896533 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 20:57:39 +0000 Katerina 1896533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sterling, what a pretty dress. So interesting that it is reversible... Look forward to more info when you have tried it on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-8#post-1896515 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 19:50:44 +0000 Sal 1896515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you should try it on Sterling - lovely dress!! But if you get it you need to wear it - even if it is outside the comfort zone.</p> <p>I could really see you in a shirt dress or shift dress- probably plain but maybe a print - simple, cool, perfect for your hot climate. Linen or quality cotton, knee length - sleeveless or elbow length sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-8#post-1896480 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 18:04:29 +0000 Suz 1896480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting. That is a lovely dress -- I'm betting it would be more date night than work appropriate. I think you need a knit that is less a sheath and more a shift if you want it to be work-ready, especially if you are curvy.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Texstyle </b>-- you live in dress weather! Wear those babies!! They look perfect for your climate!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I love dresses in summer and in theory also in winter but wear them so much less then. Brrrrrr. Even with tights etc. etc.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-8#post-1896471 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 17:44:26 +0000 Anonymous 1896471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Texstyle </b>-- The right weather is coming our way!</p> <p>Thanks <b>Toban</b> and <b>Tanya </b>-- I am planning on wearing it to work.&nbsp; Body conscious is absolutely not what I am going for.&nbsp; I have been so happy with the slack I bought from WHBM that I thought perhaps the fabrication would be similar.&nbsp; I might be in for a surprise this evening, but I will report back.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-8#post-1896454 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 17:04:51 +0000 texstyle 1896454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can totally relate to not wearing dresses Sterling, but this one is pretty enough to try. I'm on the fence currently about this Madewell red dress. I actually love it on (much longer on me than the model and quite roomy but in a good gamine sort of way) but I just don't know when I would wear it. And the reviews talk about washing issues. I even emailed Madewell and they assured me they'd stand behind it if I had an issue after washing it. But it would also mean 2 Madewell dresses in my wardrobe and neither worn yet. UGH! The other one is more of a slam dunk but it just hasn't been the right weather yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-8#post-1896452 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 16:57:17 +0000 Cardiff girl 1896452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only way you re going to know is to try it on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-8#post-1896451 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 16:56:17 +0000 LaPed 1896451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm intrigued by the concept of a reversible dress! Do report back once you've tried it on.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-8#post-1896448 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 16:53:21 +0000 Tanya 1896448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a beautiful dress, Sterling, I saw it in the store yesterday. I have bought a very similar dress from them in the fall ( pinks instead of blues, and not reversible). I went for XXS as XS did not feel good on me. I have posted it on the forum and it was deemed a bit too body con for work. I have a long cardigan on order to wear over it to be able to make it work appropriate. Just wanted to give you a heads up that it is made of stretchy jersey which would fit snug in a smaller size and looser but perhaps a little shapeless in a bigger size. This was of course the case on me, and it may look very different on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-8#post-1896446 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 16:42:01 +0000 Toban 1896446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find WHBM dresses quite body con on my curves, great for date night and weddings, less appropriate for work (on my body). Definitely try a couple sizes. If you plan to wear to work, consider sizing up to get a work appropriate body skimming fit if necessary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-8#post-1896422 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 14:28:10 +0000 Anonymous 1896422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Krishnidoux -- that information about body shapes/focusing the eye is very interesting.&nbsp; I will certainly consider both when I am trying on the dress.&nbsp; Thank you.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-8#post-1896414 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 13:38:28 +0000 krishnidoux 1896414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's very pretty. Good idea to try it on. But remember these contouring sheath dresses can look very different from a person to another. They don't suit every body shape. Angie is a rectangle, which works well with the style, and so was Jackie O, I beleive. The print on the one you show here would slim and elongate pair and hourglass firgures, but could make an inverted triangle look even more statuesque, as the sleeveless sheath already showcases the shoulders and then the pattern drives the eye upward.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-8#post-1896413 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 13:33:59 +0000 Kathie 1896413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a great dress!
