Being cotton makes it very versatile to dressing down or up.</p> <p>I noticed at an outlet shop that they haven't reduced this dress at all (I paid $100 for it, the most I have ever paid for a dress apart from for weddings) which is interesting</p> <p>To all those who commented on the tailoring - I did it myself. My Mum pinned some darts but she couldn't get it to work. my SIL who is a dressmaker suggested doing a sewn down pleat on the front. She pinned one side for me.But then once I had sewn it I had to unpick it as I had sewn in a line of pins!<br />Then I pinned the other side myself and the first side again. As alterations go it isn't a top job and while I was doing it I was saying to myself "next time I'll go to alterations place!" But as someone at work pointed out, if someone is looking close enough to spot the faults in my alterations they are looking way to close at my chest!</p> <p>Beth Ann - It does look floral, but it is actually a print that is supposed to look like sequins</p> <p>JG - that is SO true. I tried my white jacket with it and it just didn't sit right. I am wearing cardis a lot with my work wardrobe, more than I expected. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-wearing-my-new-dress#post-1104093 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 02:53:36 +0000 Vix 1104093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Anne --</p> <p>Just echoing all of the above. So glad you have a winner and hope you feel as good as you look in it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-wearing-my-new-dress#post-1103512 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 14:43:59 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1103512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely gorgeous on you Anne! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-wearing-my-new-dress#post-1103503 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 14:35:00 +0000 lyn67 1103503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a gorgeous dress, Anne!&nbsp;Was worth the alteration! Wear the heck out of it, pls!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-wearing-my-new-dress#post-1103480 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 14:03:05 +0000 JG 1103480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress. The modern dark insets allow you to add the cardi, so the dress works as well in air conditioning as outside in the heat. Smart!<br /> The first time I wore my new summer dress (months ago, in the Northern Hemisphere) I grabbed a jacket as I headed out the door. The jacket kept me comfortable in AC but, as I suspected and photos confirmed, hid the lines of the dress and clashed with its color. Outfit fail! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-wearing-my-new-dress#post-1103455 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 13:30:48 +0000 Suz 1103455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Beth Ann said.
