Also bumping to see if anyone is interested in the strawberry skirt (maybe one of you has a teenager who would think it is cute?), or the Betsey Johnson dress. Still up for grabs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-away-dresses-and-a-skirt#post-387597 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 07:41:16 +0000 Anonymous 387597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your initiative. Unfortunaltely, I sppose I'm more of a size 8. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-away-dresses-and-a-skirt#post-387565 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 04:58:23 +0000 Freckles 387565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How sweet of you Steph. People are going to end up with some fabulous clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-away-dresses-and-a-skirt#post-387462 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 01:00:36 +0000 Kelly 387462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Steph! I'll PM you my address. I will read the post from today again; I only skimmed it this morning. Wearing a denim jacket is typically my "dress down" solution anyway so I could do that. I think figuring out what shoes to wear would also be key. </p> <p>No, I am not tall; I am 5'2", and fancy meals and weddings are few and far between. </p> <p>Around here, most of what I like to wear is a lot dressier than most people I know, both casual and work clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-away-dresses-and-a-skirt#post-387449 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 00:29:08 +0000 Steph 387449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, I would love for you to have it. Take a look at Angie's post from today about dressing something down. Maybe wearing it with a denim jacket? Are you very tall? If it is short on you, you can wear it with jeans underneath (not a look I love, but I know many here do). Do you ever go to fancy meals? Weddings? It's always good to have a dress for those purposes. Let me know if you think you can put it to use. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-away-dresses-and-a-skirt#post-387439 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 00:19:08 +0000 Kelly 387439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in love with that black lace dress! </p> <p>I'd need some ideas on how/where to wear it, though. I'm primarily a SAHM but I work 10 hours per week at a small college in a small town in the midwest.</p> <p>I know I have only posted here a couple of times and none of you know me so I understand if you want to give it to someone that you know better and if that is the case I will back out of the request. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-away-dresses-and-a-skirt#post-387176 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 18:30:20 +0000 Mo 387176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats!

You are so sweet to offer these things to YLFers </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-away-dresses-and-a-skirt#post-387117 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 17:18:53 +0000 April 387117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Steph, #1 looks like my size and style. (And if it didn't work out, I would gladly forward to another YLFer.)</p> <p>Congratulations on the job offer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-away-dresses-and-a-skirt#post-387113 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 17:15:50 +0000 Steph 387113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I received a job offer that I think I'm going to accept, so this weekend I spent some time going through my closet to take a look at my professional wardrobe. While doing so, I came across a few items that no longer fit (all in the size 0P-2 range, and I am now wearing size 4s), and I thought someone here might like them. If you're interested in any of these, please let me know. I'm happy to give them away, but only ask that you reimburse me for the shipping if it is more than a couple of dollars (and I'll ship it in whatever manner you prefer). This new job is a government position, so that means goodbye law firm salary and hello budget. </p> <p>Photo 1.) Ann Taylor scoopneck silk dress. This is size 0P and hit me right at the knee. I have an average-length torso and short legs, but never found the torso to be short on this dress. It is fitted through the bodice and the skirt is an a-line. I loved this dress so much and found it to be very versatile--works for work, going out somewhere nicer (since it is silk) and I even wore it to a wedding and a funeral. Caveat: I'm not sure if this was dry-cleaned after the last time I wore it because I do see some white deodorant marks under the arms. </p> <p>Photo 2.) BCBG rust-colored v-neck jersey dress. I only wore this dress two or three times. It is a size small, and since it is jersey knit it stretches. I generally wore this dress when I was a size 0-2, and now that I am a 4 I find that it is too snug around my belly. If you have a very flat tummy, you might be able to wear this as a size 4. It hits me a few inches below the knee. It has a deep v-neck and ruching around the waist. It strikes me as a very Jean dress.</p> <p>Photos 3-4.) Betsey Johnson lavender and fuschia dress. This is never worn and still has the tags on it (purchased on sale at the outlets for $69, originally $209). It fits like a slip dress, and has some stretch. The size is P, which is Betsey Johnson's smallest size. Hit me at the upper calf. The color is difficult to describe, but it's kind of falls between lavender and slate grey. The second photo shows the detail of the embroidery. If you need a better photo of this one, let me know.</p> <p>Photos 5-6.) Ann Taylor black lace dress. This was worn once. It is a size 0, and is fitted through the waist, and has an a-line skirt. It has two layers--a black underlayer, and a black lace overlay. It hit me a little bit below the knee. I have included two photos--the second shows the detail of the lace. </p> <p>Photo 7.) Shoshanna mini-skirt with strawberries. Size 2--I wore this when I was wearing size 0s and 2s. This is another item I only wore 2-3 times. It hit me a few inches above the knee, and since I have short legs, I'm going to guess this would be a miniskirt on most people. I have no idea if it is the style of anyone here, but I adored it. It is a white pique fabric with a red polka-dotted button placket going down the front of the skirt. It has strawberries embroidered near the hem, which is scalloped. </p> <p>If you want any of these, let me know. </p>
