I also think styling will be key here! As I type this, I am wearing such a similar dress it's scary. xD </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump-1#post-571458 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 05:05:04 +0000 goldenpig 571458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, would love to see it with an obi belt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump-1#post-571440 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 04:25:09 +0000 ManidipaM 571440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is gorgeous, with its beautiful, breezy summer print, and that colour is lovely on you too! I love the swingy skirt and the sleeves (I know what you mean!), but I think it's a little too long on you in the bodice, which is swamping you at the waist. As everyone's said, add a wider belt to check the fullness there, and you'll be singing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump-1#post-571346 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 01:57:50 +0000 Aparna 571346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all for your helpful feedback. I don't know if I can pull off a wide belt , but will give it a go. The length of the sleeve is what makes me hesitant thought I love the color and pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump-1#post-571268 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 00:36:27 +0000 Sarah A 571268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the suggestion of a wide belt is a great one. I am not sure on the sleeve length for how much volume they have, but it is hard to tell in the photos. I really really like the color and pattern! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump-1#post-571229 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 00:04:17 +0000 JennyAnne 571229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it could be quite fab. I'd love to see it with a wide belt to break up all the pattern. I can see that it's fitted at the waist, but I still think further definition would be nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump-1#post-571214 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 23:33:01 +0000 Transcona Shannon 571214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress - the colours are gorgeous on you! Just add a belt to further define your lovely waist and you are good to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump-1#post-571172 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 22:57:18 +0000 CocoLion 571172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My suggestion is to add a navy obi belt at the waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump-1#post-571167 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 22:44:36 +0000 Deborah 571167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think its a lovely dress and the key to it is the styling. I would love to see this with a wide belt as Jenava suggests as I think it will give you some waist definition. The dress while gorgeous has the potential to swamp you a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump-1#post-571134 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 21:47:31 +0000 kellygirl 571134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it looks frumpy at all--the pattern looks modern and fresh. I'm not sure about the fit though--the blouse top with the wide sleeves is quite voluminous. I wish I could see it with both arms down to get a better idea about fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump-1#post-571133 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 21:47:25 +0000 Jenava 571133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it's frumpy! And that print is so beautiful...well done! Have you considered trying a wide belt with this? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump-1#post-571131 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 21:43:19 +0000 Vicki 571131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a beautiful print on you and I love the soft, feminine look of it. I know what you mean about sleeves. I'm glad you found one you like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump-1#post-571105 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 20:46:09 +0000 Kirti 571105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the poofy shoulders, but not the arms! That *is* my personal preference though, so if you like the sleeves, you should keep them. The dress is really pretty </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump-1#post-571092 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 20:23:40 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 571092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab! Not frump. Looks light and breezy for spring and summer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump-1#post-571058 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 19:19:34 +0000 jayne 571058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute and great length on arms and skirt! Keep </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump-1#post-571053 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 19:14:33 +0000 krishnidoux 571053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see no frump ahoy! Beautiful colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump-1#post-571049 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 19:13:03 +0000 Sara L. 571049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it's frumpy but I'm not sure about the shoulders. It's hard to see exactly what's going on in the photo. I like the length and the blue pattern is great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump-1#post-571040 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 18:48:14 +0000 Aparna 571040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was so excited to find a dress with sleeves, roomy skirt and fitted waist.. But am having second thoughts. Not sure about the shoulder and is the sleeve length too long? Does it look too frumpy?<br /> Added a close up of the shoulders, so you can see better!! </p>
