Even though you have an incredible, fit bod, I'm not sure that's the best dress for you. :/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/elles-allsaints-dress---to-buy-or-not-to-buy#post-770951 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 14:53:42 +0000 TraceyLiz65 770951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the skirt and top idea as I feel this dress is a risky purchase with that kind of top unless you have a smaller breast cup size.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/elles-allsaints-dress---to-buy-or-not-to-buy#post-770948 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 14:50:10 +0000 Mo 770948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sigh, maybe what I really need is the Rianne allsaints skirt to come down in price and top it with a beautiful silk top, making a 'faux' dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/elles-allsaints-dress---to-buy-or-not-to-buy#post-770944 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 14:47:16 +0000 Janet 770944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I dunno, Mo. It's a cute dress, but it's bare on top and short on bottom, which gives me pause. Maybe because I am keeping an eye on sophistication level as I inject edge into my wardrobe, I'm particularly sensitive to that. I can see the attraction, but I'm not convinced this is the best dress for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/elles-allsaints-dress---to-buy-or-not-to-buy#post-770940 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 14:44:05 +0000 modgrl 770940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry I am still a no... you have alot of hot dresses... I am remembering your "just in case there's a wedding" capsule </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/elles-allsaints-dress---to-buy-or-not-to-buy#post-770934 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 14:35:00 +0000 Suz 770934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. I don't know. </p> <p>What would you top it with, Mo? I am assuming it would need some kind of topper even in Florida? But maybe I am wrong about that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/elles-allsaints-dress---to-buy-or-not-to-buy#post-770933 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 14:33:12 +0000 Mo 770933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point Rita. . . but I'm wondering can it go out to a nice steak dinner with the BF in one of his Canali suits?? See, that's sort of the capsule I'm looking for. Dressy but still funky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/elles-allsaints-dress---to-buy-or-not-to-buy#post-770930 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 14:26:53 +0000 modgrl 770930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure, doesn't your rock and roll corset fill this same niche? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/elles-allsaints-dress---to-buy-or-not-to-buy#post-770927 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 14:23:26 +0000 Mo 770927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She has kindly offered to sell me her dress she is purging after I mentioned in her thread I'd be interested. <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell-at-swap-meet-party-dresses-fantasy-life-dress" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....life-dress</a> I think it should fit okay, as we are close in size. My question is:</p> <p>is this an imaginary lifestyle purchase for me, too?<br /> -or-<br /> is this a great example of where I want my style to be headed and a perfect move in that direction?</p> <p>I have had an attempt or two this year at an 'edgier' rather than sweet, dressy dress. Most notable attempt was a terrible fit unfortunately <a href="http://www.overstock.com/Clothing-Shoes/Miss-Sixty-Taupe-Studded-Shoulder-Pocket-Dress/6095198/product.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.overstock.com/Cloth.....oduct.html</a></p> <p>Lastly, this will have to be a sort of quiet purchase to round out my year here in FL. The BF is not going to go for a strapless dress a month before we come back to all the snow. But my overall spending for Nov. would still be under a limit I consider reasonable, if I return my latest Yoox layered shirt purchase.</p> <p>Oh, and thanks again Elle, for offering - I love that YLF spirit!!! I will have your answer momentarily!! </p>
