I could definitely see dressing it down with sandals or boots and a moto jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-black-maxi-dress#post-668454 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 13:49:23 +0000 Anonymous 668454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks just beautiful on you, Anna. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-black-maxi-dress#post-668394 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 08:26:00 +0000 CocoLion 668394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it on you. Dress it up or down. </p> <p>I wore a black maxi skirt today. After seeing you pick this, I'm going to post the WIW to show some maxi love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-black-maxi-dress#post-668379 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 06:02:21 +0000 Scarlet 668379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So elegant and versatile! I hope you get it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-black-maxi-dress#post-668252 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 02:40:22 +0000 velvetychocolate 668252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it on you, and I can see how it'll be the perfect backdrop to all kinds of fabulous jackets, toppers, shoes, and so on. It can be somewhat sedate if you want, but it can also be totally glammed up with all kinds of fab pieces or accessories. I think you did well with this one!</p> <p>No, it's not the type of thing that just screams for attention, but the thing is - it looks just fabulous on you (extremely flattering on your shape and your colouring), and it will be a wonderful piece for all kinds of occasions - a chameleon piece in a way. It looks really good on you, *and* it can be 'anything' which is why I like it so much. </p> <p>Love it and I'm glad to read that you bought it. I don't think you'll regret it at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-black-maxi-dress#post-668203 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 02:10:47 +0000 Heather 668203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OBSESSED!!!!! I don't see this frock as 'fancy' at all. Rock this frock everywhere you can possibly can!! #effortlessglam </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-black-maxi-dress#post-668157 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 01:32:43 +0000 Kari 668157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very elegant. What would you wear this dress to? Would this be an opera dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-black-maxi-dress#post-668039 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 22:57:55 +0000 Jonesy 668039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From what I can see it looks really gorgeous! There's nothing like a beautiful, weighty, drapey fabric....I can see this going to the opera, or out and about during the day. Fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-black-maxi-dress#post-668030 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 22:46:35 +0000 Anonymous 668030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah's SO right! This dress is drop-dead gorgeous, and it's considered far more chic nowadays to dress 'down' than 'up'. You know I've seen incredibly chic women wearing similar dresses with a cropped biker jacket slung nonchalently round the shoulders late in the day when the sun goes down, and they looked STUNNING!! Far better than if they'd added the more predictable evening stole!</p> <p>Your photos are stunning too, and you've clearly got a great figure. All it'll take is a bit of panache to carry this off to perfection. I think it will look great on a hot day (or evening) with some really cute flat sandals, or even a pair of gold leather ballet flats. Repetto have put a lot of sparkly ones in their collection for this Summer. A touch of day-time sparkle is a very 'happening' trend. At least here in Paris. And that's why I think your dress is so great. Cos basically, it's an uber-chic version of the essential little black dress, right? And a girl can NEVER have too many of those. Quality always pays, and as you say, the cut and fabric are figure flattering. You've got yourself a gem of a modern-day classic. It'll look good for ever! Hope it gives you oodles of enjoyment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-black-maxi-dress#post-668025 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 22:32:44 +0000 Deborah 668025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna its gorgeous and you look great. It is classic but so simple it will not be hard to edge it up if that's what you want. Personally I think this can be dressed up or down quite simply. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-black-maxi-dress#post-667992 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 21:12:36 +0000 Transcona Shannon 667992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous dress Anna and let me say your figure looks smashing in this! Dress it down as per your plan and you'll be ready to roll! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-black-maxi-dress#post-667969 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 20:49:55 +0000 nicoleb 667969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-black-maxi-dress#post-667949 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 20:38:31 +0000 RoseandJoan 667949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking forward to your styling of the dress Anna. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-black-maxi-dress#post-667947 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 20:37:32 +0000 Mo 667947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll bet you can dress it down effectively with denim and flat sandals. Glad you got it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-black-maxi-dress#post-667944 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 20:34:41 +0000 Inge 667944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a lovely dress, and the fit is good on you, but I see Mo's point, so it depends on which occasions you want to get it for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-black-maxi-dress#post-667942 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 20:33:44 +0000 annagybe 667942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got it, it's a nice substantial fabric that doesn't show every lump &amp; bump. Planning on wearing it with a jacket &amp; sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-black-maxi-dress#post-667934 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 20:25:00 +0000 Mo 667934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looking dress! Would you wear this casually or more like night at the theater? It seems more 'to the opera' than 'shopping and coffee' to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-black-maxi-dress#post-667929 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 20:20:41 +0000 RoseandJoan 667929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress but think it maybe looks a little classic for you Anna. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-black-maxi-dress#post-667911 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 20:00:34 +0000 annagybe 667911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a racer back, cowl neck. Obviously need right bra type. Not on sale, at Barneys. </p>
