They used to call it Ofoto. It's habit, I still type in <a href="http://www.ofoto.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.ofoto.com</a> &#38; it will take you to KodakGallery. You can share an album - I think like Photobucket. Actually, I was wondering how that worked but knew I could do it through KodakGallery/Ofoto so just used that. I'm not sure what is easier or preferred. I've just always used the Kodak/Ofoto one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help/page/2#post-60307 Sun, 12 Apr 2009 20:23:03 +0000 Anonymous 60307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't heard of ofot before this. I thought it was a typo! HaHa! I guess if I google ofoto i will get info. Is it a photo sharing place like photobucket? Thanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help/page/2#post-60292 Sun, 12 Apr 2009 15:56:39 +0000 JewelryGirl 60292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Shiny you're right - thank you for chiming in! I did get the email awhile back but get prints from time to time so didn't think anything of it. I don't think it was much though - $5 or something like that in prints maybe? Sorry can't remember for sure.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help/page/2#post-60279 Sun, 12 Apr 2009 14:00:13 +0000 shiny 60279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JG, Kodakgallery hasn't insisted you pay yet? I have used it for years (since it was ofoto) and recently was told I had to spend a certain amount of $ to continue to store photos there. (Which I did - I had been planning on ordering an album of our iceland photos anyway). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help/page/2#post-60275 Sun, 12 Apr 2009 13:36:47 +0000 JewelryGirl 60275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San, we'd had the camera for several years &#38; I've always used ofoto. So, not sure if I downloaded something with the camera or not. I'm guessing not &#38; it was off of ofoto. I don't pay for the ofoto &#38; it is very easy to use! </p> <p>Asha &#38; San, thank you both! I'll post a pic with my outfits from the week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help/page/2#post-59876 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 02:03:05 +0000 Anonymous 59876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jewelry Girl I am wondering about your Kodak photo share software. Did you get that on a CD with your Kodak camera? I like the way it works so nicely. I have a new Kodak camera and did not download the material on the accompanying CD but just may change my mind if this is part of the free software.<br /> Also I want to mention that you look awesome in that cream colored dress. The color and fit are so you. If I was you I would be tempted to get a couple of the others you showed us too. You are lucky to look so good in a dress and sould wear them often. You defiantely are a dress type gal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help/page/2#post-59866 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 01:07:26 +0000 Asha 59866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so late on this thread but the dress looks great! I'm excited to see it when you get it back from the tailor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help/page/2#post-59852 Thu, 09 Apr 2009 23:52:14 +0000 JewelryGirl 59852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>rosebudrm &#38; tarzy - thanks! I get it back from the tailor tomorrow, can't wait! :)</p> <p>rosebudrmm - post a pic if you get the floral one! </p> <p>tarzy - you're too kind! I hope I feel as comfortable in it as you guys think I look - this will be a whole new experience for me. It's been awhile! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help#post-59831 Thu, 09 Apr 2009 20:31:01 +0000 tarzy 59831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You inspired me to try this dress on. It looks so much better on you - but it was fun to give it a try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help#post-59809 Thu, 09 Apr 2009 18:21:20 +0000 Rosie 59809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so delayed on this thread, but I thought you looked great in the dress alone, and with scarf and cardi. I've also been looking at that floral one. The others you linked to are really fun, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help#post-59696 Thu, 09 Apr 2009 01:32:26 +0000 JewelryGirl 59696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, get it - we can be twins &#38; you can help me out with ideas since we're a 1/2 world apart! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help#post-59692 Thu, 09 Apr 2009 00:53:51 +0000 Kristen 59692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also tried on #1 and #3, and LOVED them both. But I was between sizes for both so decided to wait before buying them. </p> <p>Shiny, you should try the ATL cream sheath. I tried that one too, but didn't look half as good as JG! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help#post-59690 Thu, 09 Apr 2009 00:40:25 +0000 JewelryGirl 59690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, I was also at BR last night &#38; they had this GORGEOUS knit dress (short cap sleeve I think, deeper neckline) &#38; maybe A-line longer cut. It was in the store so I don't know if they have on-line. But, it was solid color &#38; gorgeous! They had it in black &#38; a really really deep purple. They just had tiny sizes at my BR - didn't help me but might be perfect for you. I don't know if they had on-line or not. </p> <p>Thank you for the vote of confidence! I'll give it a whirl &#38; see what I think. I did wear them for awhile - long ago before we were married. Then, after married life I wore suits to work for quite sometime (never dresses though for some reason). Then, just got out of the habit I guess &#38; started cringing anytime I had to think about them. I think I'm starting to get more comfortable with the idea. </p> <p>If there's one you are thinking about - call your ATL &#38; have them hold it for you. They are going FAST in the store by me. Some from Monday night at closing were gone by Tue at 6pm already...</p> <p>Anyway, good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help#post-59689 Thu, 09 Apr 2009 00:34:21 +0000 shiny 59689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm definitely going to have to get over to ATL soon! I don't think #1 would work for me - pattern too large for my size. #3 is sweet - but I have something similar already. I'm mostly look for a solid color, I think.... and truth is I might not be looking for one at all, if that black one at ATL didn't fit so well... grrr. Maybe I will find it on major sale. </p> <p>I'm so glad you bought the cream dress afterall! You should wear dresses and enjoy them - you look great in them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help#post-59685 Thu, 09 Apr 2009 00:21:05 +0000 JewelryGirl 59685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Shiny, here’s what I tried on &#38; almost bought that fit similar to the Cream one. I just had my heart set on cream otherwise these would have done the trick. </p> <p><a href="http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=18400&#038;defaultColorNameFromCrosell=Black" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....sell=Black</a> Black w/ muted flowers. LOVE IT! Same fit as the cream one through the hips only I thought a little longer. Site says 35 ¾” length. I think it was just a hair fuller through the bust also. OH MY GOSH, one of my girlfriends JUST called me &#38; picked this one up – Too Funny! </p> <p><a href="http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=18432&#038;defaultColorNameFromCrosell=Deep%20Blue" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....eep%20Blue</a> Navy/Green roses. LOVED IT! Same fit as cream one again, maybe even a hair snugger through the hips. More defined waist. The rose pin on the waist is fun because it’s detachable &#38; might be fun on something else as well. I envisoned with boots &#38; a cardi over in the winter, etc. </p> <p><a href="http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=18601&#038;N=1200257&#038;categoryId=211&#038;Ns=CATEGORY_SEQ_211&#038;defaultColorNameFromCategory=Black&#038;defaultSizeTypeFromCategory=Misses" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....ory=Misses</a> I liked this one too. Snugger through the hips as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help#post-59678 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 23:59:47 +0000 shiny 59678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm... guess I need to get up to AT and try on the cream sheath. :-)</p> <p>Did you try on other sheaths? I am looking for one. I do want the longer length though - I have a few black sheaths in shorter lengths already. Black might be okay but I'm craving something in a versatile, flattering color. A charcoal grey or flattering red would be ideal. Wasn't really thrilled with the other ATL colors. Neckline can't be too high and straight across, if you know what I mean, because of the chest. But modest-ish. For work or other conservative occasions. BR sheaths - look great but none of them ever fit me right. Lemme know what you have found if you have been trying on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help#post-59670 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 23:47:10 +0000 JewelryGirl 59670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, I think you're asking about the "Sleeveless Scoopneck Sheath Dress you linked a picture too. It just shows the teal color on line. </p> <p>If so, yes I did try it on in the store - it was in the salmon color at my store. I didn't even realize it came in the teal. However, I thought the fit was a little different than the Cream one I got &#38; the Teal one here. Here's what I thought: </p> <p>LENGTH - Teal/Salmon one was longer on me. The site shows 35 1/2" vs. 35 3/8" I think they said but the salmon one seemed longer. It might have been because of the cut. I was of course trying on regular sizes (not petite). </p> <p>SKIRT CUT - I don't know if I'm using the right terms or not (dress stuff is new to me) but the Teal/Salmon one seemed to be a bit more like an A-line; however, the Cream one seemed straighter to me. It could be because of the fit in the hips. </p> <p>HIPS - Teal/Salmon one felt fuller through the hips than the Cream one on me. This is usually a snug area for me on about any dress though.</p> <p>NECKLINE - Teal/Salmon is obviously a higher neck. </p> <p>MATERIAL - Both seemed about the same material. Heavier/structured but not weight/wintery heavy if you know what I mean. </p> <p>I hope that helps! Let me know what you decide on. I tried on a few others as well if there's something else I can help you with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help#post-59669 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 23:42:48 +0000 taylor 59669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JG,<br /> Did you say you don't own dresses? You look great in them!! It doesn't look too short to me, but you know what makes you most comfortable.</p> <p>The color, style and the way you styled up this dress shows just how creative you are with such a simple nueutral dress...you make it look amazing...get more dresses!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help#post-59649 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 22:11:50 +0000 shiny 59649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JG, just curious, when you were in ATL, did you try on the ponte knit sheath dress - this one:</p> <p><a href="http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=18309&#038;No=15&#038;Ns=CATEGORY_SEQ_211&#038;N=1200257&#038;Nty=1&#038;categoryId=211&#038;defaultColorNameFromCategory=Dusty%20Teal&#038;defaultSizeTypeFromCategory=Misses" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....ory=Misses</a></p> <p>They have it in salmon, green, black. I tried the black on at the store awhile ago, and can't get my mind off of it. </p> <p>I'm asking because I'm curious about your comparison:</p> <p>1) Length of ponte knit vs AT cream sheath</p> <p>2) Fit in the hips </p> <p>I usually find that my hips don't fill out AT dresses, whereas the ATL sheath fit me like a dream. Absolute perfection. I was just on the fence about the material (too hot?) and the color choices. </p> <p>The ponte knit went all the way to my knee - but I can't remember now whether I tried it on in petite or regular. </p> <p>Anyway, if you tried it on, can you give me your observations? I would be very grateful! Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help#post-59643 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 21:53:19 +0000 JewelryGirl 59643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, Here's what I posted on the floral one: "The floral one is too flimsy girly for me. It was adorable - if any of you like girly dresses definitely try it. GORGEOUS on, I'm just not used to the fullness &#38; lightweight material + the pattern. " </p> <p>I do have an update though - decided to KEEP! Took it to the tailor today, he can let out 3/4-1" on the hem &#38; will have it done by Friday! The new tailor I found is superb - I've been using him for a few months now but quite a bit more recently. </p> <p>I tried it on for a couple of friends also &#38; they said keep. So, this will be my first experience with a dress I can wear for day-to-day in quite sometime...</p> <p>I do think the Donald Pliner sandals are getting returned to Zappo's though. Can't justify wearing them enough considering all the other shoe shopping I've done recently. </p> <p>THANK YOU SO MUCH for the input everyone!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help#post-59596 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 15:06:59 +0000 Angie 59596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for the for the delay Jewelry Girl. Are you going to try the floral dress too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help#post-59584 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 13:09:44 +0000 merry77 59584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a great plan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help#post-59549 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 02:56:28 +0000 JewelryGirl 59549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DH just had a great idea - the tailor! I think he can let almost an inch out of the hem!! And, of course I found more things to wear it with... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help#post-59519 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 00:45:05 +0000 JewelryGirl 59519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies, appreciate the feedback. If I'm reading this right 2 out of 11 of you're comments think length might be too short. DH says not too short (of course he's no expert LOL) </p> <p>I did go back tonight (I think I have a love/hate relationship with shopping right now) &#38; tried on entirely TOO MANY dresses &#38; skirts to count!! I came home with a big fat NOTHING!! Ugh...this is so hard to adjust to. I know the end result (working wardrobe) will be so much better. It's just so frustrating finding the perfect things. It's worth it - don't get me wrong! Anyway, The floral one is too flimsy girly for me. It was adorable - if any of you like girly dresses definitely try it. GORGEOUS on, I'm just not used to the fullness &#38; lightweight material + the pattern. There's a black one with muted bright florals - that &#38; the navy one with muted white florals were gorgeous also! Oh, and the navy one with green roses all over on the print. They are just not me...</p> <p>I'm trying the cream on again later tonight with DH &#38; will make the final decision later this week. The problem is I think I really am loving it because it's so versatile &#38; it feels so good on!! Decisions Decisions....Gheez - you'd think it was a car or something... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help#post-59501 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 22:40:26 +0000 Violet 59501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the dress looks great! It fits you perfectly and I really like it with the green cardi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help#post-59499 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 22:07:45 +0000 Elika 59499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others; the dress looks great, and the ivory really works with your skintone. I also adore the combination with the green cardi! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help#post-59497 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 21:37:20 +0000 Anonymous 59497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks so much better on you than on the model. I like how you can change it so many ways with accessories. It is not very exciting on it's own but it is a chamileon with accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help#post-59495 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 21:27:04 +0000 marianne 59495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the dress looks great - very flattering and versatile, and I think you can wear it to the wedding, too, if you add another color. But I am afraid it might be a bit too short. How tall are you? I remember Angie saying that you can get away with shorter length if you're a petite. I also like it with cardi and scarf, but not with the blazer - the blazer seems a bit too big?<br /> I also like the other dress you linked to, and it looks like it's longer, but it's very different since it's floral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help#post-59487 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 20:26:45 +0000 Kristen 59487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I tried that one on the other day. You look about 1000 times better than I did! LOL. I love the cream. </p> <p>The cardigan and/or scarf looks are fab, the blazer less so. I think the blazer actually looks too rumpled/casual next to the crispness of the cream shift. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeeek-a-dress-help#post-59403 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 15:02:34 +0000 Alecia 59403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the dress looks nice, it's a tad bit short for my preference. That's something I've learned from ylf. Knee length is more universally flattering. Disclaimer - I still have some this length. I really like the other dress you posted. I think it's worth a try. </p>
