The bodice fit is super flattering and looks like a dress that you could easily dress up or down.

Anyway, I think you will enjoy it a lot this summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-a-dress-1#post-2263157 Sat, 14 May 2022 23:26:17 +0000 Sally 2263157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a really nice style and print. I can see it being quite versatile too with sneakers, sandals but also able to be dressed up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-a-dress-1#post-2263138 Sat, 14 May 2022 21:02:53 +0000 Eliza 2263138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic summer look and your accessories will keep it totally Janet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-a-dress-1#post-2263129 Sat, 14 May 2022 17:51:47 +0000 LJP 2263129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice dress! &nbsp; This print reminds me of discussions around sales rep conference tables when presented with what were called regional prints on anything from jewellery to a dress to a paper napkin, wall art, etc &nbsp;. &nbsp;The US reps could sell prints with anchors , shells, lobsters etc easily , whereas the only area in Canada where anyone would buy such a print was in Nova Scotia , NL, etc.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-a-dress-1#post-2263122 Sat, 14 May 2022 15:19:05 +0000 approprio 2263122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice print! I tried a similar silhouette recently and decided it was not for me. I may have a rethink now.&nbsp;</p> <p>I hear you on dressing for less skin exposure and benching half the summer wardrobe pending weight loss. &nbsp;We shall see.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-a-dress-1#post-2263112 Sat, 14 May 2022 13:43:55 +0000 Nadya 2263112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress and I love how you are bending it to your will.

I love all things nautical, but yes they can come off a little cutesy. But the cut on this plays against that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-a-dress-1#post-2263048 Fri, 13 May 2022 19:19:35 +0000 Inge 2263048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it, Janet! This silhouette looks great on you, and yay for your tailoring altering it to get the fit just right (I'm also seeing lots of dresses with open back here...). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-a-dress-1#post-2263046 Fri, 13 May 2022 19:15:42 +0000 Suz 2263046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smart you to go for the alterations to make it more wearable. I'm finding the same thing you are with the summer dresses on offer this year -- many of them feel way too bare for me and/or bare in the wrong places. I've ordered at t-shirt dress -- we'll see how (or whether) it works out. It wasn't what I'd hoped for but perhaps the best I can do. I also got a few toppers to wear with my more body con tube skirts (still, yes, <b>STILL</b> in rotation!!) -- that works for my climate but not yours.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like this one on you a lot and I also like the idea of switching up the contrast levels later if you want to! To me, the print isn't overly cute because it includes a lot of sharp angles -- that saves it, IMO.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-a-dress-1#post-2263042 Fri, 13 May 2022 17:59:50 +0000 BlueJay 2263042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress!&nbsp;</p> <p>No, it hasn't been a good year for dresses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-a-dress-1#post-2263041 Fri, 13 May 2022 17:39:37 +0000 kellygirl 2263041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great dress! I find myself gravitating to less fuss when it comes to everything. I don't want to be bothered with underwear lines, strapless bras, etc. It' nice to just be able to throw on and go! This looks like it fits the bill in all respects! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-a-dress-1#post-2263039 Fri, 13 May 2022 17:29:15 +0000 Murph11 2263039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SCORE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-a-dress-1#post-2263036 Fri, 13 May 2022 17:09:29 +0000 rachylou 2263036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice!

Fine if you’re 25 or don’t mind showing off a bra, but that’s not me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-a-dress-1#post-2263028 Fri, 13 May 2022 15:33:39 +0000 cat2 2263028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, good idea to set your tailor on what doesn’t work.

I love navy/blue and white combo and it works great with your new grey sandals - score! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-a-dress-1#post-2263017 Fri, 13 May 2022 13:54:28 +0000 Janet 2263017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My casual summer dresses have been dwindling in number as I am no longer loving the slightly bodycon nature of my older fitted jersey dresses. I’m not getting rid of them yet, since I think a moderate bit of weight loss (under 10 lbs) would make me more comfortable in them, but I am interested in more forgiving cuts these days.</p> <p>I found this little number at a local boutique. Thankfully at a very reasonable price point too. The seaside print is perhaps a little more “cute” than I’d normally go for, but I think the simple navy color palette keeps it from veering too cutesy, and it fits our location (it wouldn’t be as appropriate if we lived in the mountains!). Plus, if I want to make it lower contrast I could do a dye job with more blue to make it tone-on-tone (HT Brooklyn!). </p> <p>The shoulder straps are actually a cord that loops through the fabric in front and back and then ties in the back. The back has a lot of fabric that flops open and exposes the bra band, so my tailor is tightening up the shoulder straps and closing the back for more coverage. The pic was taken in the tailor’s fitting room so it’s been pinned up for the proper fit. We’re also closing the slit in the skirt a little bit so that it begins just under the knee. </p> <p>It’s not easy to find good dresses this year, so if this is it for me, that will be ok. Just need a couple of east breezy casual pieces for the heat and humidity! </p>
