I think the forum - and the universe - is telling you to keep it!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-needed-on-kooples-dress/page/2#post-1382429 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 10:28:25 +0000 lyn67 1382429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's 11 for me. Love the sheer panels like that... on everything! IMO are very subtle and&nbsp;still an eyecatching detail. I have a summery skirt suit in taupe (linen with&nbsp; same color sheer silk insets near the hems of the skirt's end, and the 3/4 trumpet sleeves of&nbsp; the jacket) and I ove it! Love the shoes you paired them, too, very edgy with them.I say keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-needed-on-kooples-dress/page/2#post-1382366 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 05:46:36 +0000 CocoLion 1382366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What do you mean, you don't do sexy? &nbsp;This is so understated sexy! &nbsp;</p> <p>I love you in this dress (and the shoes too). &nbsp;I was thinking a shorter bike short would work well too, or a fully covering boy short. &nbsp;Wearing something black underneath is critical, obviously. &nbsp;Nude underthings WILL be visible. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-needed-on-kooples-dress/page/2#post-1382269 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 02:30:10 +0000 marianna 1382269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's stunning on you, and looks so much better on you than it does on the model! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-needed-on-kooples-dress/page/2#post-1382259 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 02:21:43 +0000 Gigi 1382259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in agreement with everyone else. I think this looks great on you and really matches your style. It's edgy but elegant enough that it will work for lots of functions. I vote keep if all the practical concerns about sitting down, etc., can be worked out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-needed-on-kooples-dress/page/2#post-1382244 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 01:54:24 +0000 Aida 1382244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big thumbs up from me too, really hope it passes the sit-down test. Love the length on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-needed-on-kooples-dress/page/2#post-1382239 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 01:46:38 +0000 Sveta 1382239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is Una dress for sure - I don't know if anybody else could have done this little justice as you do. Fingers crossed it passes the sitting test with flying colors - or otherwise what they were thinking of designing it?!<br />I knew a girl who made a blouse with sheer inserts and lined them in nude colored fabric - it was perfect: still looked sheer but was covered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-needed-on-kooples-dress/page/2#post-1382231 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 01:40:51 +0000 Anonymous 1382231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, this is just perfect! And the shoes! Love it. I was thinking the same thing as IK. Black spanx bike shorts (mid-thigh length) might make you feel more secure when seated, as long as they don't peek through the sheer insets when standing or walking. This dress hits just the right note. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-needed-on-kooples-dress/page/2#post-1382215 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 01:11:38 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1382215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to say, "keep your knees together when you sit. &nbsp;There. &nbsp; Problem solved."... but the other answers are&nbsp;more practical &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Seriously, I don't think I've seen a dress that is more you. &nbsp; Perfection!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-needed-on-kooples-dress/page/2#post-1382191 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 00:55:24 +0000 ironkurtin 1382191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One possibility if the sheer test fails is black opaque boy shorts. I really love this on you and think it's worth an undie investment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-needed-on-kooples-dress/page/2#post-1382153 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 00:20:09 +0000 catgirl 1382153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL on the lingerie hints! And the slip is a great idea. </p> <p>I don't do sexy but I do like the idea of subtle allure with an edge, which is what I saw in this dress. More pics to come - and thank you all for the kind and hilarious feedback! Celebrity sighting indeed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-needed-on-kooples-dress/page/2#post-1382101 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 23:45:39 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1382101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's stunning on you, Una. Perfectly elegant and subtly alluring as someone said up there on another page of comments. I like the styling ideas gryffin had. Even if it's your go-to elegant occasion dress, it could be worth it. I could see it working for years hence. The shoulder detail adds to the elegance of the design, imo. It's a flattering little detail you wouldn't find in a less well-made dress. </p> <p>P.S. a styling option for later on might be to wear a bright slip-dress under it, to show through the sheer panel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-needed-on-kooples-dress/page/2#post-1382096 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 23:38:49 +0000 rabbit 1382096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really really great, so much better than on the model. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-needed-on-kooples-dress/page/2#post-1382093 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 23:33:35 +0000 Elizabeth P 1382093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you should just go and get yourself some fushia panties, and stop worrying </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-needed-on-kooples-dress/page/2#post-1382088 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 23:22:19 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1382088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm out of superlatives, so I'll borrow one from my cats. &nbsp;MEOW! &nbsp;It's a yes!

I will check out the sheer factor when seated and make sure it's not obscene! If it works, I will be so happy to have a dress that fills this wardrobe hole before the holidays! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-needed-on-kooples-dress/page/2#post-1381899 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 17:44:43 +0000 Sal 1381899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really stunning, perfect for the occasions mentioned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-needed-on-kooples-dress/page/2#post-1381891 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 17:28:37 +0000 AviaMariah 1381891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't read the other comments but I give it a 10, especially with those shoes!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-needed-on-kooples-dress/page/2#post-1381881 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 17:17:21 +0000 Angie 1381881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, a shorter length on a baggy sack or shift&nbsp;dress is the only way to go -because skin equals structure. I <b>love</b> the length of the dress. Longer would have looked off.&nbsp;</p> <p>My concern is the sheer panel<i> above </i>the length that creeps up&nbsp;further towards crotch point when seated. That's why I suggested the sit-down test - cross legged too - to assess whether you&nbsp;feel decent with the shifted position of the sheer panel. If you do, you're in business. And you've got yourself a gorgeous frock. Hope that makes sense.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-needed-on-kooples-dress#post-1381872 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 17:03:11 +0000 catgirl 1381872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback, Fabbers! Now you can see just how short I am!</p> <p>Here's the deal - this dress is a nice substantial fabric with great drape. Comfortable and easy to wear. DH loved it. I still have to do the sit-down test and that willl matter. The shoulder detail does not bother me - it's kind of a nice detail as long as no one sees any IT emphasis. I am inclined to keep if I can sit in it.</p> <p>Angie, as far as length, you know I don't do bodycon... I feel like being a shortie wearing volume, a shorter length is what makes a sacky style JFE for me. Am I wrong? Also, this is NOT a dress for work - it's specifically for parties and events (a friend's award ceremony being the first, then a holiday party). Don't know if that makes a difference. I trust your judgment completely, so if it's too risque or no longer au courant, please don't hesitate to say so!</p> <p>When I have time I'll post pics with leg coverage and more shoe options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-needed-on-kooples-dress#post-1381865 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 16:56:19 +0000 deb 1381865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A definite keeper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-needed-on-kooples-dress#post-1381855 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 16:50:30 +0000 shedev 1381855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-needed-on-kooples-dress#post-1381827 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 16:17:42 +0000 thimblelina 1381827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this dress on you! Keep keep keep! Even if you need a little pair of racing spandex if you find yourself seated on a podium somewhere. It's just too good in every other way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-needed-on-kooples-dress#post-1381826 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 16:15:29 +0000 Jules 1381826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it on you. The model, on the other hand, literally looks like me in my dreams where I find myself in public wearing nothing but a tee shirt, desperately trying to pull in down far enough for some degree of&nbsp;decency... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-needed-on-kooples-dress#post-1381824 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 16:13:38 +0000 Carole 1381824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Check, check, check! And check! What a fantastic and flattering dress. Don't you hate those little surprises that don't show up in the photo? That just happened to me, too. But the dress is gorgeous on you shoulder detail and all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-needed-on-kooples-dress#post-1381818 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 16:09:04 +0000 Isabel 1381818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally a yay . As said before, better than the model. </p>
