I don't mind it with the dress, although to be more feminine a shorter lighter topper would be good. But that jacket is a stunner. Try it with jeans and boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dvf-black-sheath-its-new-but-too-old-to-return-is-it-ok#post-725756 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 22:24:45 +0000 ElleH 725756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes JR I think you're right. I said to hubby I feel like I'm wearing a uniform. If it were navy it would feel even more so. I don't know if you can see the detail but it is a military jacket. He wants me to wear it with a military kinda hat lol. The jacket has become an orphan which I will discuss in another post. A $500 orphan gift from hubby. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dvf-black-sheath-its-new-but-too-old-to-return-is-it-ok#post-725750 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 22:20:13 +0000 JR 725750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if the jacket is too long. It depends on the look you want. It gives it almost a military vibe, or a no-nonsense take-charge kind of look. If you want to look very feminine and dressy, a different topper would be in order, it seems to me. That is just my personal take on things, and I don't know if others see it that way too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dvf-black-sheath-its-new-but-too-old-to-return-is-it-ok#post-725669 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 20:06:07 +0000 ElleH 725669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! What about the jacket with it? Too long? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dvf-black-sheath-its-new-but-too-old-to-return-is-it-ok#post-725655 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 19:43:54 +0000 Mochi 725655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would kill to look like this in a sheath. Just sayin'. No really, it looks amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dvf-black-sheath-its-new-but-too-old-to-return-is-it-ok#post-725651 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 19:41:16 +0000 Anonymous 725651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great, and you do not have a big tummy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dvf-black-sheath-its-new-but-too-old-to-return-is-it-ok#post-725640 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 19:35:16 +0000 Suz 725640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's gorgeous from the front! As for the side view, some of that is just the way you are standing, I suspect. It is hard to contort yourself to take pics and also stand up straight at the same time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dvf-black-sheath-its-new-but-too-old-to-return-is-it-ok#post-725626 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 19:27:40 +0000 Anonymous 725626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore a classic black sheath! This looks perfect on you. You have a big arch in your back (so do I from many years of gymnastics) which causes the belly to pooch. Try shapewear, but by all means wear this beauty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dvf-black-sheath-its-new-but-too-old-to-return-is-it-ok#post-725622 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 19:26:54 +0000 ElleH 725622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Alicat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dvf-black-sheath-its-new-but-too-old-to-return-is-it-ok#post-725614 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 19:24:05 +0000 Anonymous 725614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that's pretty on you, Elle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dvf-black-sheath-its-new-but-too-old-to-return-is-it-ok#post-725609 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 19:22:33 +0000 ElleH 725609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could try shapewear or just standing straighter. I have a sway back &amp; it follows the shape of my back. It goes away when I stand straight or suck it in but I never remember to do either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dvf-black-sheath-its-new-but-too-old-to-return-is-it-ok#post-725605 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 19:19:52 +0000 catgirl 725605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks fab from the front, and that's not a lot of tummy. Honestly I feel the same way about my gut but I'm far more focused on it than anyone else. Shapewear?</p> <p>I saw a magnet the other day that said, "I wish I was as thin as I was when I thought I was fat." SO TRUE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dvf-black-sheath-its-new-but-too-old-to-return-is-it-ok#post-725567 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 18:55:34 +0000 ElleH 725567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this &amp; never wore it because sometimes I worry about my tummy. I am allowing it to hang out in last photo so you can see it at it's worst. Also is the jacket too long to wear with it? TIA</p> <p>ETA: Is the neck OK on me? Is the fit OK? The neck is grosgrain &amp; isn't meant to sit flat. It is kinda stitched on a little gathered or something. </p>
