You look amazing, Janet. I love it on its own and all the vest looks too. #2 is the sleekest but the others are great for when you want more going on. Love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854475 Fri, 20 Oct 2017 13:44:55 +0000 cobaltblue 1854475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, wear #2 tonight! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854445 Fri, 20 Oct 2017 11:32:17 +0000 skylurker 1854445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the colour makes the dress 2018, but who cares when a dress looks so gorgeous on you. #2 is very chic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854274 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 16:48:53 +0000 Janet 1854274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! </p> <p>I have only worn the vest in #3 with jeans and rugged moto boots, when the hanging belt looks more appropriate, but I'll see if the belt is removable for a more streamlined look with this. I do like the juxtaposition of the oversized, casual vest with a dress. </p> <p>I have an art reception/auction to attend tonight. Maybe I'll wear #2! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854270 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 16:20:11 +0000 Angie 1854270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another KILLER look in #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854265 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 15:56:54 +0000 The Cat 1854265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is very fab on its own and also looks great with the vests, especially #2 and #4. I like the vest in #3 too, but find the hanging belt somewhat disturbing. I wonder how #3 would look if the vest was actually belted ... But perhaps the outfit looks best when the vest is worn open. If so, how about either removing the belt or buckling it behind the back, keeping it out of the way? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854260 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 15:17:51 +0000 karen13 1854260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #2 as my favorite. Something about the proportions. The dress and boots are great with everything, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854255 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 14:32:08 +0000 Marilyn 1854255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it with that first vest......pic #2.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854233 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 13:24:43 +0000 JuniperGreen 1854233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh LOVE with vest no. 2 (though it looks fab without, too!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854224 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 13:01:49 +0000 bridgie 1854224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All looks are great.&nbsp; Prefer no vest and No.2.&nbsp; Isn't this just like having a whole new outfit after a season or so of not wearing it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854223 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 13:00:30 +0000 RobinF 1854223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! Those boots are fab with it. My favorite is #2. I love the #3 vest but it seems a little busy with this dress. I'm a big vest fan and happy that they seem popular this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854215 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 12:49:49 +0000 Aquamarine 1854215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is gorgeous on you, and the long vests really take it to another level. I’m going to say I like it more than the three Anthro dresses, but maybe I am biased because of all the burgundy fabness (those boots!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854209 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 12:35:15 +0000 Anonymous 1854209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great on you - and these vest are the perfect 3rd pieces. &nbsp;I like the last vest best but any of them are great. &nbsp;(love the belted and buckled one the best but maybe ALGO with this dress? &nbsp;- I think I have a very similar one and never wear it.....must go check it out)&nbsp;</p> <p>BCBG still sells their version of this dress, which I think is now a modern &nbsp;classic. Wear it with pride - you look great in it ! Like your shorter hair too &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854200 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 11:43:42 +0000 harmonica 1854200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing! I like #2 and #4 the best, and sans vest. Your curves are beautiful. So much fun to SYC when you get positively surprised. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854197 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 11:15:06 +0000 Janet 1854197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! Ok, I will wear these combos and bring this dress out of retirement. It helps that I now have a couple of pairs of tall boots to wear with it.</p> <p>I've really let this dress languish. I don't recall wearing it at all last year, and maybe once the year before. I bought it when I was in my best shape because I was running a lot and training for half marathons. I'm a size larger now so I've been reluctant to wear my more bodycon pieces. I like that the longer vests de-bombshell the dress a bit and cover up a bit more when I'm not feeling my most body-confident. I didn't have high hopes when I put it on, so I was pleasantly surprised that it still "fit" -- it's so stretchy I guess it forgives a 10-15 lb variation! </p> <p>Brooklyn, now I'll have to try that embroidered moto jacket with this dress, since I bought one at NAS! I wonder if that combination might look too maximal on me, although it looks so amazing on you, I'll have to try it. We sure do have a lot of common elements in our wardrobes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854185 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 09:44:39 +0000 Lucy 1854185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing, with and without the vests! I think #2 is my absolute fav, but really, you should live in this dress and rock all four of these looks :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854181 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 08:50:02 +0000 Ledonna N. 1854181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really don't think that Bailey dress will go out of style. My favorite version is look 3 with the zipper very very pretty and I love your curves pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854178 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 08:35:46 +0000 Brooklyn 1854178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly those Bailey dresses are soooo flattering. Who cares about trendy.<br /> I used to have the version that you are wearing. (Our wardrobes have such commonality!) But the overlapping sections of the skirt became very frayed from wear, so I got rid of it. I still have a black sleeveless version (see pic) and I wear it occasionally, but it is also looking a bit RATE now so I baby it a bit. I would buy another in a heartbeat if the right version came up.<br /> Anyway, it looks super fab on you and my favourites here are 2 and 4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854175 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 08:02:59 +0000 rachylou 1854175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. The Bailey really works great with a gilet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854172 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 07:19:37 +0000 Mirjana 1854172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is beautiful and looks amazing on you. I also prefer #2 and #4. You gave me idea for my stripes dress and black vest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854169 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 06:59:09 +0000 approprio 1854169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! Your strategy for keeping it contemporary is on the money. All the vests work great.</p> <p>Although I'm coming to think that if a piece suits you and fits as well as this, it doesn't actually matter whether it's trendy or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854159 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 05:08:17 +0000 Dianna 1854159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are 1 (no vest) and 2, but all of them look good.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854152 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 04:18:06 +0000 kellygirl 1854152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2 followed by 4 are my faves--so sleek, Janet! You look amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854146 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 03:46:37 +0000 Anonymous 1854146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I like 2and 4 best but like them all, including no vest </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854133 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 02:51:34 +0000 Jaime 1854133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks amazing on you. My favorite vest version is #2.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854128 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 02:40:30 +0000 Laura G 1854128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my God, that dress is killer on you! But it's killer because of your fabulous curves. The vests don't look bad, but they take away some of that wow factor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854110 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 01:17:25 +0000 Suz 1854110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I love it! Especially 2 and 4. 3 is great, too, but I personally get fussed with dangling belts. I think the proportions of 2 and 4 work a bit better also.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-dress-vest#post-1854109 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 01:13:52 +0000 Janet 1854109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since I was in try-on mode last night (albeit with no makeup), I pulled out my old Bailey 44 striped dress that was all the rage a few years ago. It still fits and looks better on me than I expected, considering I am a little bigger than I was then. I tried on my three longer vests with it, and I like them all, in different ways. </p> <p>What do you think? Does this help push this dress into 2017-18? </p>
