I think I may also have an EF dress very much like the one that you are considering with a cowel neckline and of the substantial jersey, except that mine is sleeveless. A 4 or 6 is usually my size and I got the dress in a regular XS for length.<br /> You may want to try the medium too if you see a great price </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-dress---good-for-apples#post-1168006 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 22:46:09 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1168006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Beth Ann, Angie, Natalie and Deborah.

I'm an apple and I would have to try this is on if I saw it in store. I would expect it to skim the body and create a nice line. And I find cowl necks very attractive. Looking for forward to seeing it on </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-dress---good-for-apples#post-1167882 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 19:30:48 +0000 goldenpig 1167882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great!

There's no returns but I can turn around and resale if it doesn't fit. Then I'll know to go with the medium.

My metallic silver EF top is a Petite Medium and fits and I know EF fits a bit big - but then the silver top doesn't have to go over my tummy and hips...what the heck...worth trying... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-dress---good-for-apples#post-1165828 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 17:46:51 +0000 Parsley 1165828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely give it a try!

Totally worth a try, I'd say.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-dress---good-for-apples#post-1165719 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 15:25:08 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1165719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After reading Angie's brilliant post this morning on how to dress an apple shape, I got to thinking about dresses. I don't really wear my dresses much anymore (other than my black sheath dress). I find it hard with my particular shape and high waist to get the top half and the bottom half of the dress to fit properly, the waist to be in the correct spot and for my tummy to not be accentuated.</p> <p>I have had this Eileen Fisher dress in and out of my cart too many times to count. It comes in petite and is a fairly substantial jersey. I personally love this kind of cowl neckline as it elongates my neck and flatters my upper chest and collarbones, one of my favorite body parts. I think it would work well to hide wobbly tummy bits and if I added one of my structured toppers to it, would give me that structure and shape I crave.</p> <p>Do you think this dress could work on my body shape? </p> <p></p> <p>ETA - I also like that it tapers a bit at the bottom so that there isn't too much fabric around the legs.</p>
