It was some colored or coated side &amp; then a normal side. I don't think it took off as I haven't seen them in a while. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-seen-these-in-the-wild-reversible-dresses#post-1809883 Sat, 20 May 2017 12:57:45 +0000 Summer 1809883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love versatile pieces like this.&nbsp; I once had a reversible dress - print on one side, plain on the other - and found it very useful for travel.<br />It's clever that the dress you show here can also be worn back to front, but I much prefer it with the lower neckline at the front.&nbsp; It doesn't look quite right the other way to my eye.&nbsp; Pretty dress, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-seen-these-in-the-wild-reversible-dresses#post-1809865 Sat, 20 May 2017 10:30:12 +0000 Staysfit 1809865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's the kind of dress that would have appealed to me when I was in my residency training. I could get a lot of mileage from it. It would work well under a lab coat, it is simple and because the collar is different when you flip and reverse, etc, it's versatile and economically sound. (I have the straight figure and small bust to pull it off). I am looking for items for a travel capsule too, this may fit the bill - if it's long enough..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-seen-these-in-the-wild-reversible-dresses#post-1809838 Sat, 20 May 2017 04:24:08 +0000 Anonymous 1809838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL at the paper swim trunks! I could successfully hand wash the paper dress. It was that 60's Mod style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-seen-these-in-the-wild-reversible-dresses#post-1809777 Fri, 19 May 2017 23:44:03 +0000 K.M. 1809777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a very cool idea, but I was expecting that the two ways of wearing would look less similar to each other. In other words, if I were packing this for a trip, it would still look like I'm wearing a navy (or printed) dress all the time.** But I can see this being a neat trick for work-to-drinks (just switch in the restroom). </p> <p>Zibbets, that's quite an experience with the paper swim trunks! Why would they even make those...? </p> <p></p> <p>** PS oops, now that I read the description more carefully I realize that the print is the inside out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-seen-these-in-the-wild-reversible-dresses#post-1809733 Fri, 19 May 2017 20:48:09 +0000 Greyscale 1809733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a Helmut Lang wool top that fits better backwards than forwards (the neckline in front is straight across and catches oddly on my collarbone, but scooped in back).</p> <p>Betabrand is a little gimmicky (obviously, that's sort of their signature) but a lot of the gimmicks are really clever! Like the travel dress with built-in wrap. I live near their store / headquarters so I check things out sometimes. For me, the fabrics are not great because I prefer natural fibers, but the synthetics they use definitely seem durable and easy to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-seen-these-in-the-wild-reversible-dresses#post-1809726 Fri, 19 May 2017 20:25:11 +0000 Eliza 1809726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bet helps to be a straight figure if you want to reverse front and back. The two patterns for a trip could be fun, though I find it hard enough to find a dress that works one way! Thanks for sharing. I haven't seen them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-seen-these-in-the-wild-reversible-dresses#post-1809725 Fri, 19 May 2017 20:24:14 +0000 Jenni NZ 1809725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Betabrand dress. It looks easy to wear and care for. I agree probably better on the smaller busted. Joy your dress is so fab! I love both sides and picking out the aqua for a cardi is genius. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-seen-these-in-the-wild-reversible-dresses#post-1809648 Fri, 19 May 2017 16:27:35 +0000 Laurie 1809648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I keep getting that Betabrand ad on Facebook. &nbsp; I hope someone tries that dress. &nbsp;I admit that it did get me to click... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-seen-these-in-the-wild-reversible-dresses#post-1809623 Fri, 19 May 2017 15:23:30 +0000 BrieN 1809623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a dress for DD when she was a toddler that reversed. Cotton, Long sleeved, Peter Pan collar, and it closed with a couple of ties at the waist. So cute. It didn't get a lot of wear though as two layers of stiffer cotton is too much. In this case, I wonder if the two layers might have a smoothing effect--that might be a real positive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-seen-these-in-the-wild-reversible-dresses#post-1809621 Fri, 19 May 2017 15:17:26 +0000 Zibbets 1809621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, that dress is amazing on both sides! <br />Your paper dress reminds me of a story a colleague tells. On a business trip one time he bought a pair of paper swim trunks out of a hotel vending machine so that he could join the rest of the crew at the pool. Swimming was fine, but after a few minutes in the hot tub he noticed tiny pieces of fiber rising to the top of the water and realized his swimsuit had disintegrated, leaving him with just a thin elastic band at the waist. He's a dignified, older man with a great deal of modesty and when he tells the story it's hilarious.</p> <p>Runcarla, I once wore a silk shell to a job interview, intentionally backwards! It was too low in the front for that setting, but the print was great with my jacket, and I got the job!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-seen-these-in-the-wild-reversible-dresses#post-1809617 Fri, 19 May 2017 15:07:09 +0000 Jules 1809617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a very simple inexpensive cotton jersey dress that I wear backwards. I mostly use it as a beach coverup and I realized the deep V in front didn't really provide the sun coverage I want for my chest so I flipped it around one day and found I actually preferred it that way. My mother has the same dress and does the same successfully even though we are different body types. So I do think it's possible at least for a less structured dress.There's nothing amazing about this dress though, not in either direction.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-seen-these-in-the-wild-reversible-dresses#post-1809612 Fri, 19 May 2017 14:47:07 +0000 Emily K 1809612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If done correctly, I think we wouldn't know that the item is reversed, right? &nbsp;:-) &nbsp;That said, *I* wouldn't wear a reversible top/dress because I am large busted and appreciate a bust dart in my clothes. &nbsp;That would make for a funny reverse look--lots of room for the shoulder blades! </p> <p></p> <p>ETA--I cross-posted with <b>Nora</b>!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-seen-these-in-the-wild-reversible-dresses#post-1809611 Fri, 19 May 2017 14:41:58 +0000 Nora 1809611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a dress in a very similar shape to the linked one, but mine has sleeves. It's not reversible in the inside out sense -- just front to back. As someone pointed out above, I find the scoop to the front more flattering, and favor wearing it that way, but either way works. Bear in mind that I was not blessed with a rack, and I suspect those that were will find the fit less satisfactory. There's a limit to how much bust can be accommodated with stretchy fabric before you need darts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-seen-these-in-the-wild-reversible-dresses#post-1809595 Fri, 19 May 2017 14:03:56 +0000 Christina F. 1809595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not a bad idea. I always see things like convertible dresses recommended for travel, which I wouldn't care for. I doubt I'd like good or want to bother with all the options! But a reversible dress might be nice, especially for a longer trip. Usually, I can get away with one dress, and if I want more, it's so I won't get bored more than anything else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-seen-these-in-the-wild-reversible-dresses#post-1809590 Fri, 19 May 2017 14:00:20 +0000 Anonymous 1809590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not this brand but I am a fan of reversible dresses. I have one from a consignment but once had a reversible paper dress in the 60's that was amazing and survived an entire summer in Europe as the only dress I packed. Travelsmith usually carries some reversible dresses.<br /> My current one is shown below showing both sides. The first is red and blue, the second is pink and green. It is a pull on shift dress with no fasteners. I can use an aqua cardi as a topper for both sides. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-seen-these-in-the-wild-reversible-dresses#post-1809575 Fri, 19 May 2017 13:23:16 +0000 RobinF 1809575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha Carla, that's funny! I like the idea but the low neck looks a bit low for me and I agree that I would probably tend to only wear it my favorite way. The double fabric would be nice and thick though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-seen-these-in-the-wild-reversible-dresses#post-1809565 Fri, 19 May 2017 12:44:27 +0000 Carla 1809565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The concept of clothing that is convertible is interesting, but I bet most folks would fall into the habit of wearing it in the way that flatters them best and not switch it up.&nbsp; On the other hand, I <u>have </u>worn regular items backwards or inside out - just not on purpose!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-seen-these-in-the-wild-reversible-dresses#post-1809564 Fri, 19 May 2017 11:59:43 +0000 cindysmith 1809564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been seeing variations of this idea as I've been web surfing trying to find an outfit to wear to my sister's wedding. It sure beats the new thing Opening Ceremony is trying to make happen with jeans that convert into shorts that look more like granny panties or something</p> <p>ETA: not that there's anything wrong with 'granny panties'. Because there is nothing wrong with them. I just don't want jorts that look like panties </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-seen-these-in-the-wild-reversible-dresses#post-1809550 Fri, 19 May 2017 11:40:02 +0000 Anonymous 1809550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, that's an interesting idea! I have not seen those before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-seen-these-in-the-wild-reversible-dresses#post-1809544 Fri, 19 May 2017 11:09:03 +0000 Zibbets 1809544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.betabrand.com/womens-navy-geometric-reversible-convertible-360-dress.html">https://www.betabrand.com/wome.....dress.html</a></p> <p>You can reverse it to the other side and wear either side in front. So clever!</p> <p>I'm not really tempted, but I'm really curious whether the fit is right backwards and front. Does anyone have experience with this? </p>
