I do love the sound of how you have styled it (cheeky wearing it, but not cutting the tags!). </p> <p>I think that Jonesy does have a point, it does look good, but not as good as the blue summer version. I think adding edge with shoes and jewellery will help with this. Will go well with boots in winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-loot-part-2-another-day-another-potential-infatuation#post-423439 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 03:50:59 +0000 Carole 423439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress on you, Michelle.

Great red color, flattering drape, nice choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-loot-part-2-another-day-another-potential-infatuation#post-423166 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 20:02:25 +0000 Ornella 423166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After glancing over the front page and seeing the photo I had to log in just briefly and say - what a fantastic dress!! This time last year I had invested in a red dress that was the very first of the items that make me, as you had so cleverly said, want to hug my wardrobe. Your purchase shows why every girl must have a perfect red dress in her wardrobe and this is yours to hug for a long time to come </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-loot-part-2-another-day-another-potential-infatuation#post-423059 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 16:56:27 +0000 Jonesy 423059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, my reaction also might have to do with my slight personal bias toward structured dresses vs. flowy jersey ones. Also, in comparing the blue one you wore a lot this summer to the new red one, I see that the blue one has shorter sleeves, less exposure across the chest, a scoop neck vs. a deep V, a nice wide waistband that defines your waist, and some gathering across the chest. All of these attributes make it lovely for you, IMHO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-loot-part-2-another-day-another-potential-infatuation#post-423044 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 16:32:40 +0000 Sheila 423044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, I really love this dress on you. You look stunning,,,it is a superbly classical loveliness. Makes me smile inside to see it on you...and what a sweetie your ad hoc photographer was. Thanks to him, on behalf of all of us YLF ladies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-loot-part-2-another-day-another-potential-infatuation#post-423011 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 16:04:30 +0000 Sarah 423011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this dress will be very versatile for you, Michelle. I don't see aging or bust emphasis at all.<br /> But I'm a fellow Classic rooted gal, so perhaps I'm a bit biased. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-loot-part-2-another-day-another-potential-infatuation#post-423007 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 16:02:09 +0000 Michelle 423007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks a lot, ladies.<br /> I don't mind classic styles, as many of you know,and truth be told I felt really great when I put this dress on. It felt very comfortable and very me.<br /> I'm wearing it today, though with the tag still on and tucked down the back. I've paired it with diamond-patterned tights, the uber-long pearl strand worn as a tripple-row necklace and with a big knot hanging low down, black mock croc wedges, pewter bag and my leather moto jacket as a topper when I go outside. Jonesy and Deborah, I really appreciate your advice to add some edge to this one, and I will certainly work on that some more. Modgrl, I almost put on my silver leaf bracelet this morning instead of my necklace and will certainly use that piece another time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-loot-part-2-another-day-another-potential-infatuation#post-423003 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 15:59:42 +0000 Michelle 423003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks a lot, ladies.<br /> I don't mind classic styles, as many of you know,a nd truth be told I felt really great when I put this dress on.

To my eye this is a very "Michelle" dress and I know you will get a lot of wear and enjoyment out of it. It is a very classic style, but also very flattering and versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-loot-part-2-another-day-another-potential-infatuation#post-422898 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 14:06:54 +0000 modgrl 422898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see that it's aging. I think that wrap styling is very pretty and flattering. I think the color is stunning. I feel like the look could use a bracelet on your left hand. </p> <p>FWIW, I love to see you in patterned dresses, I feel like they are very flattering but I know it can get old to wear only patterns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-loot-part-2-another-day-another-potential-infatuation#post-422824 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 11:47:10 +0000 Deborah 422824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see what Jonesy sees! I have a similar dress but in black which I wear rarely. I can't put my finger on it but I feel it creates a somewhat matronly look, however on another level it's a very flattering shape. I am wondering if different accessories might work. Rather than pearls maybe something that contrasts with the dress, something a little funky to create an edge. A necklace that is longer than the pearls would be good. I am not saying return, I think I'm just saying some styling to bring it to perfection (I note that you haven't attempted to style it) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-loot-part-2-another-day-another-potential-infatuation#post-422807 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 11:22:30 +0000 Jonesy 422807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me, it's the combo of the empire with the deep V-neck and wrap styling, if that makes sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-loot-part-2-another-day-another-potential-infatuation#post-422798 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 10:46:01 +0000 Michelle 422798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad most of you love it, because I do too! It's extraordinarily comfortable too.<br /> Jonesy, very interesting. What do you find aging about the waistline? </p> <p>It's interesting...This dress feels in may ways olike a winter version of the turquoise dress that became a go-to item in my summer wardrobe. The waist detail and fall of the skirt seem similar. Am I way off?<br /> Sorry, the wrong picture got added at first..I'm referring to item no. 2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-loot-part-2-another-day-another-potential-infatuation#post-422601 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 01:58:25 +0000 Jonesy 422601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to be a teeny spanner, as Angie says. While I love the color and the drape of the fabric looks lovely, I feel like this particular empire waist, faux wrap style is slightly aging on you and sort of emphasizes the girls. I remember a recent blue patterned sheath dress that was miles ahead of this one, if I'm recalling it correctly. Just my two cents, of course!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-loot-part-2-another-day-another-potential-infatuation#post-422600 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 01:57:15 +0000 Midwest Girl 422600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything is great about this dress--color, style, and drape, and you look great in it. It is definitely a keeper! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-loot-part-2-another-day-another-potential-infatuation#post-422595 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 01:53:34 +0000 D'Ellen 422595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is lovely, and you look lovely in it! The color is perfection on you and the style is so flattering...no shapewear needed! So sorry about the trench...I thought it would be a winner too. How fun that you found an on-site photographer for times when Corey isn't available! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-loot-part-2-another-day-another-potential-infatuation#post-422582 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 01:44:54 +0000 Elly 422582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super flattering and gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-loot-part-2-another-day-another-potential-infatuation#post-422562 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 01:18:03 +0000 Sara L. 422562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This dress looks great on you! The style is so flattering and it makes your bust look fabulous. I agree with Kari and don't see any need for shapewear with this dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-loot-part-2-another-day-another-potential-infatuation#post-422560 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 01:17:45 +0000 cobaltblue 422560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! I loved it and then loved it even more when I saw the details at the bust. That red is a perfect color on you, too. Keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-loot-part-2-another-day-another-potential-infatuation#post-422551 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 01:06:27 +0000 Kari 422551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, I hope that you feel amazing in that dress. You look STUNNING. Everything about this dress works on you - the phenomenal color with your porcelain skin, the wide neckline, the gentle but not exaggerated twist at the bust, the sleevelength - shapewear isn't even on my radar when I'm looking at these photos. Sophistication with a capital S! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-loot-part-2-another-day-another-potential-infatuation#post-422540 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 00:56:01 +0000 kellygirl 422540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is awesome on you! One of my favorites on you ever! The color is a rich, gorgeous red and looks glorious on you. Keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-loot-part-2-another-day-another-potential-infatuation#post-422536 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 00:53:41 +0000 DressLover 422536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are having amazing success so far with fall shopping, Michelle! Forget that blue coat. This dress is phenomenal - you don't even need the shapewear!</p> <p>I think it is so sweet the store clerk takes photos for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-loot-part-2-another-day-another-potential-infatuation#post-422535 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 00:52:02 +0000 Kappy 422535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!!! I think this dress looks great, great cut, great color and great length.. Is it the one from Igigi? I've never ordered from them. Does it run true to size? What didn't you like about the trench fabric? That's too bad because I bet that trench would look great on you too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-loot-part-2-another-day-another-potential-infatuation#post-422532 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 00:50:10 +0000 Suz 422532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KEEP!!!!!! </p> <p>The colour is a rich, very slightly blue-red (on my monitor). Extremely flattering to your complexion. The neckline is elegant on you, showcasing your face. And the dress itself looks very comfortable, in addition to everything else. </p> <p>Wow, you are set for some holiday parties in that dress. But you can also dress it down really easily. </p> <p>So sorry about the coat; that would have been too perfect to be true, I guess. Oh well, at least this one is a hit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-loot-part-2-another-day-another-potential-infatuation#post-422531 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 00:48:13 +0000 yellowgirl 422531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you! keep it and wear it often! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-loot-part-2-another-day-another-potential-infatuation#post-422527 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 00:45:53 +0000 Michelle 422527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Day two of fall loot shipments turned up today. One of the items I was most excited about turned out to be a bust. The blue trench I had such hopes for is made of a material that just doesn't cut it, as far as I'm concerned. Certainly not for that price, anyway...But unless I'm very much mistaken, they made amends with the dress I ordered! It feels amazing and I foresee a lot of use for a piece like this.<br /> The delightful man who runs the store in the basement of my building was kind enough to take the pictures, since Corey is attending his first ever Master's class. Turns out the store owner enjoys taking pics, so I'm posting the various angles he shot. Please note that I made n o attempt to style this properly and am not even wearing shapewear, so please adjust your thinking accordingly. I have no issue wearing shapeware regularly, so that's not a concern.</p> <p>I now await your verdict...and I promise I'll oblige if you say this sucks and needs to go back. </p>
