In reality, it would have been yet another 'almost' at a good price. I've had my share of those. Yes, I think it would have been a nice looking dress on me, but it would not have adequately filled the "warm sweater dress with a little slouch I can throw a belt on and some boots and feel stylishly cozy in the snow" category hee hee. Yes, it's a pretty specific category ;)<br /> For those who like it for themselves, there are several on eBay around $35 right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-knit-dress#post-491550 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 00:37:22 +0000 Aida 491550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If these are elbow sleeves as opposed to "short" sleeves I think this has potential, though I would rather see a jacket layered over more than a tee layered under. I don't mind sweater dresses with elbow or longer sleeves, but actual short sleeves is just... I don't get it -_- I REALLY like the idea of a lined sweater dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-knit-dress#post-491472 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 22:59:10 +0000 lyn67 491472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this dress Mo, and actually wouldn't be affraid to layer it! Whta"s wrong with it, especially that these sleeves seems like elbow lengths(not really shorts), and if you like scrunching up the sleeves, the underlayer will come to elbow just under the sleeves hem. Great colour, and if it's lined...a bonus! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-knit-dress#post-491446 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 22:32:07 +0000 Anonymous 491446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, sometimes you need to be open to something you are not exactly looking for. I could really see this color and style on you. Do you have to order it to try it on? Does it break any rules you've made for yourself? I have a "no 3/4 sleeves unless it's a jacket" rule, for example. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-knit-dress#post-491403 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 21:33:54 +0000 Mo 491403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For a visual, the underlayer is this (sleeves are pushed up in this photo). It's a boatneck, stretchy black tee. If it can fit under this tight Guess sweaterdress tunic, it can fit under anything lol!<br /> Still not sure if I should hold out or if 1/2 sleeves might be a fun change . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-knit-dress#post-491395 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 21:27:47 +0000 rae 491395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't like the picture that the underlayer is creating in my head... between the half sleeves and the cowl, I feel like another layer would ruin the effect. I'm with Una voting to hold out for something closer to what you wanted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-knit-dress#post-491380 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 21:15:36 +0000 banananutmuffin 491380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that dress, actually. Short sleeves and all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-knit-dress#post-491377 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 21:12:23 +0000 missvee 491377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like a very interesting cut and I love the colour. If you got it, could you earmark it more for spring or fall wear? That way the shorter sleeves wouldn't be a drawback. I think it's worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-knit-dress#post-491353 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:55:50 +0000 catgirl 491353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, sleeves. It's very pretty and the lining is a huge plus. But the sleeves! Short sleeved cowlneck sweater dress? I'd hold out for something long-sleeved. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-knit-dress#post-491291 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 19:33:32 +0000 Emily 491291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a lovely dress. However, unless you can see yourself wearing it without the layer underneath (and not freeze), I would hold out for a long-sleeved one. I have a beautiful short-sleeved one that hangs in my closet because it is totally impractical for midwest winters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-knit-dress#post-491281 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 19:22:50 +0000 Lisa 491281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this will be lovely on you. I am always puzzled as to why winter dresses don't have longer sleeves. I guess designers expect people to layer them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-knit-dress#post-491226 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 18:09:22 +0000 Vicki 491226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the color and knit. Yes, why they don't make long sleeves is bewildering. Some of us like to scrunch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-knit-dress#post-491198 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 17:33:54 +0000 Amy 491198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two thumbs up! The color is great! It sounds like it's made nicely too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-knit-dress#post-491191 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 17:27:20 +0000 mamaKate 491191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the color - and lining is a major plus. My shopping criteria these days is to walk away unless I can't live without it. Sounds like you are on the fence - if you are looking for a little nudge to stay patient, here it is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-knit-dress#post-491176 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 17:03:46 +0000 Queen Mum 491176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say go for it. A sweater dress fully lined? That is a plus... you don't have to worry about the fabric getting caught on tights. Yes, it would be really cute with boots. Too bad you can't buy 2 and make the sleeves long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-knit-dress#post-491175 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 16:59:46 +0000 Mo 491175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kim you would think long sleeves would make sense, wouldn't you?? sheesh.<br /> Here's the hemline - kind of a handkerchief effect. Could be cute with tall boots :)<br /> <a href="http://www.auctiva.com/hostedimages/showimage2.aspx?gid=1309789&#038;ppid=1122&#038;image=491980075&#038;images=491979914,491979946,491979982,491980010,491980048,491980075&#038;formats=0,0,0,0,0,0&#038;format=0" rel="nofollow">http://www.auctiva.com/hostedi.....8;format=0</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-knit-dress#post-491168 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 16:44:23 +0000 Queen Mum 491168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it's cute... what is the hemline like though?<br /> And why someone can't make a sweater dress with long sleeves is beyond me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-knit-dress#post-491165 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 16:36:22 +0000 celia 491165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That color would look killer on you, IMO. Even if it isn't what you had envisioned I think you should give it a go if you can. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-knit-dress#post-491162 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 16:27:57 +0000 Mo 491162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What do we think of this as a possibility? I was looking for long sleeves, but could layer a black long top under. I wanted a sweater dress I could belt for different looks and that wasn't form fitting all the way down. I already have a pink striped one with that fit. This is more of a thin knit than a true sweater dress, but it is fully lined.<br /> Should I try it or hold out for a long sleeved one like I originally envisioned? </p>
