The swirls don't look like they would be right on your boobage the way the birds would be in #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-975390 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 12:32:27 +0000 Kristin L 975390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The all look very pretty and I don't think you could go wrong with either 1 or 2 (or 3 if I comes back in your size). FWIW, I like 2 the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-975378 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 12:11:02 +0000 Andrea W 975378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love me some Mary Katrantzou prints (not that I own anything with one but I can dream). &nbsp;</p> <p>Number one is the 'one' for you. &nbsp;The colours are incredible and the print is to die for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-975194 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 03:01:37 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 975194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 gets my vote - it's so perfect!&nbsp;&nbsp; I don't really see the yellow as a stand-out color.&nbsp; To me, it is just making the purples and pinks look more vibrant.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think you'll look gorgeous in it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-975180 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 02:35:02 +0000 Caro in Oz 975180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #1 or #2 but want to see them on you before deciding </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-975123 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 01:39:35 +0000 Deborah 975123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 Anna:)&nbsp; They are all stunning but the colour on #1 is devine.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-975086 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 01:08:35 +0000 rebekahphoto 975086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1. The purple next to your face would look very nice </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-975020 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 00:12:02 +0000 Aida 975020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #1, I think you'd look fab in that one. The color placement isn't bad at all, as others mentioned I think it's far enough away from your face to simply be accenting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-975010 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 00:06:12 +0000 Suz 975010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, I think you'd look amazing in #1. I totally hear you on the yellow (I have the same problem). But the yellow is not near your face and yet would pick up the golds in your hair; meanwhile, your face would be flattered by the purples. It's beautiful and fun -- give it a try!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-975006 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 00:04:50 +0000 Echo 975006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I surprise myself by preferring #1. I would normally go for a pattern with more black in it like #2, but the dueling boob birds on #2 and #3 somehow make seeing the rest of the dress difficult for me (pattern placement). The scrolling would be far easier to work with, IMO. And I don't think the yellow becomes an issue since it isn't at the top of the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-974988 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 23:53:15 +0000 Angie 974988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 best by far! Was there concensus? I haven't read the comments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-974986 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 23:51:59 +0000 rae 974986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, overall I love #2 the best because of the colors and the way the body is divided up... the vertical lines on the arms seem much more flattering than the purple shoulders and horizontal lines on #1. But that said, I like #1, too. It would come down to how it looks on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-974744 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 20:11:51 +0000 Eliza 974744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't worry about any of these being staid as I think they are all striking and it is only now that they are seen in comparison to each other. &nbsp;I like number 2 the best, but if you are drawn to the&nbsp;Appaloosas that could trump other considerations. &nbsp; As others have said, print placement may be a primary factor in&nbsp;all of these. &nbsp;The circle line on the rear view catches my eye in that regard.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you for sharing these. &nbsp;I saw her pencil skirt and fell in love. &nbsp;It is quite a splurge and would be for my completely imaginary life, but I appreciate its beauty.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-974736 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 19:57:31 +0000 CocoLion 974736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are great. &nbsp;#2 does seem a bit more of a universal, year-round color though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-974724 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 19:30:49 +0000 rachylou 974724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the purple and yellow one a lot. The yellow is on the arms, away from the face, so I think it could work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-974720 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 19:25:14 +0000 Susie 974720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all so striking. When looking at them on the models, #3 is most flattering to my eye, followed by #2.&nbsp;While I like the pattern on #1, I'm not sure about&nbsp;the swirls on the boobs and it looks like a&nbsp;zipper in the middle. I really like #2 on the model and the colors are very pretty. So I vote #2! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-974707 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 19:13:37 +0000 K. Period. 974707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you love #1, then buy it! The purple is right next to your face and the gold is much lower and cut off by a lot of white (and black) space. I bet it will look fantastic on you. &nbsp;The yellow will echo your long, flowing,&nbsp;golden mane, errr I mean hair, but won't be close enough to make your skin look sallow. &nbsp;Besides, I love leopard spot Appys too. &nbsp;:) &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-974697 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 18:58:19 +0000 Vicki 974697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! &nbsp;You've got a great eye, and I LOVE these dresses. &nbsp;I truly think you could tear up the town in #1 and I really like the purple and yellow (not that much yellow and it's balanced with all the other amazing elements of the dress!). &nbsp;Pick one of them, please. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-974695 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 18:56:16 +0000 Diana 974695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm no help, I love them all.&nbsp; But I agree that they need to be tried on for pattern placement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-974688 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 18:51:28 +0000 Glory 974688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow these are really nice but agree they have to be tried for the pattern placement. I can see you in any of them. I feel the same way about yellow on myself but still love yellow. In this case (dress 1) it is on the arms mostly so I think it could work quite well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-974672 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 18:15:01 +0000 Nanabear 974672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my untrained eye, I like #2 the best&nbsp;- great colours, patterns, everything. &nbsp;That said, I would like to see it on you to be a better judge of the fit. &nbsp;For dresses like this, trying on is really crucial&nbsp;to prevent any impending wardrobe disasters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-974671 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 18:14:56 +0000 ironkurtin 974671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh man.&nbsp; I don't think you can go wrong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-974670 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 18:14:49 +0000 chewyspaghetti 974670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 seems like the lines on it would be mot body flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-974652 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 18:02:13 +0000 Thistle 974652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, my favorite is #2, but I so worry about where the triangle is going to fall on your body. I think any of these would have be tried on to see, and I always hate saying that when you have to pay to ship and pay to return.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-974648 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 17:59:56 +0000 Beth Ann 974648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1, Anna.&nbsp; My only concern is the scrolling over the boobage.&nbsp; Just depends on where it hits your body.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-opera-dress#post-974644 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 17:56:10 +0000 annagybe 974644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore Mary Katrantzou prints, but her stuff is not cheap.<br /> Found these on sale:<br /> #1 Has Appaloosa, I grew up in Appaloosa country.
