Guess I'll have to go back again.</p> <p>The AT store I went to didn't have the navy dress in petite. I looked at the regular one and decided to pass it. I did try on the Hibiscus top and the silk shell with blue diamond strips that Shiny bought, both of them looked really good. They are not on sale in store so I didn't buy any. I'm thinking about getting the Hibiscus one online with another top since they are running a sale now (buy two get 20% off).</p> <p>I didn't get a chance to go to ATL and JCrew. The weekend passed too fast... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-pick-a-dress-1#post-4402 Sun, 27 Apr 2008 02:09:49 +0000 Julia 4402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point Ana, I totally forgot about the maintenance thing. I'm sure there are dry cleaners nearby but I don't think I'll have time with my busy schedule. The BR print one is machine washable so that might work out.</p> <p>Thanks Christie I'll check out ATL tomorrow as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-pick-a-dress-1#post-4392 Sun, 27 Apr 2008 00:09:54 +0000 Ana 4392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julia, I also LOVE the BR print dress. Thinking of picking that one up myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-pick-a-dress-1#post-4383 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 23:05:55 +0000 Ana 4383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The J. Crew dress is beautiful! One thing--are you going to have access to a dry cleaner while you're in HK? It's silk, and if you're going to be outside a lot, it will probably need to be cleaned after one wearing. If so, I say go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-pick-a-dress-1#post-4382 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 23:02:28 +0000 christie 4382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julia, at this moment, I, too, am shopping for dresses online. Ann Taylor Loft is having a big sale. Check it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-pick-a-dress-1#post-4379 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 22:58:30 +0000 shannon 4379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the patterned dress also. You must buy that one.</p> <p>Out of the solid dresses I like the J. Crew one best. It was a hard decision between that and the solid BR dress, but J. Crew won.</p> <p>The other two I didn't like at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-pick-a-dress-1#post-4373 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 22:39:47 +0000 Julia 4373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for the responses!</p> <p>Tanya I'm an hourglass. Like Maya, I'm a petite with a higher waist. </p> <p>Nicole, I'm looking for a dress to wear during my trip to Hong Kong this Summer. Angie told me to find a fit and flowy dress so I picked AT, BR and JCrew. I think people tend to dress up more there so do you think the AT one is still too dressy?</p> <p>I picked the tunic ones because I was not sure if I look good in them and wanted your opinions. Our local Macy's doesn't carry all products especially for petite so I might not be able to try it on.</p> <p>Angie I'll try the BR dresses and report back how they look. I'm trying to add more colors to my wardrobe but keep the shape classic and clean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-pick-a-dress-1#post-4279 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 13:15:35 +0000 Nicole 4279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the patterned BR dress best.</p> <p>I liked the simplicity of the J Crew dress--it had a very casual and relaxed look to it to appeals to me. </p> <p>And the Macy's dress is the same one I had linked to Ana in another thread when was looking for tunic dresses to wear with skinnies. I really like that dress but it would be quite short w/out leggings.</p> <p>The AT dress is pretty, but it looks very dressy to me. Are you looking for dressy dresses or more casual ones? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-pick-a-dress-1#post-4260 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 04:42:43 +0000 Angie 4260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the BR dress. I’m particularly partial to the colour. (You know I’m a colour girl!) And the AT dress is a good and safe choice. The Macys dress is a tunic to be worn over jeans. You’ll need to experiment. Let us know what you decide. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-pick-a-dress-1#post-4258 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 04:24:48 +0000 Maya 4258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julia, I think it was you who said we had similar body types? If so, GET THE ANN TAYLOR DRESS! I have a dress with a similar cut, and also a tunic with the same kind of cut, and both are among the most flattering pieces of clothing I own. I also love the color. It's versatile but not boring. That is definitely my vote. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-pick-a-dress-1#post-4252 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 04:12:35 +0000 Tanya 4252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Julia, I don't know your body shape, so I'll comment based on whether I like the dresses or not.<br /> I love both of BR dresses I like AT one, but am worried that you might be too hot in the summer in the polyester.<br /> I find the Macy's one a little to boxy and Jcrew one a bit too boring. Than again, this is my (subjective) taste. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-to-pick-a-dress-1#post-4238 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 03:00:48 +0000 Julia 4238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Help me to pick a dress</p> <p>Finally I decided to start my Summer dress hunting. I'm thinking of getting two, one in solids and one in patterns. Here are the ones I found so far:</p> <p>Solids</p> <p><a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=35723&#038;pid=565619&#038;scid=565619022" rel="nofollow">http://www.bananarepublic.com/.....=565619022</a><br /> <a href="http://www.anntaylor.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=14149&#038;No=15&#038;pCategoryId=190&#038;Ns=CATEGORY_SEQ_198&#038;N=1200017&#038;Nty=1&#038;categoryId=198&#038;defaultColorNameFromCategory=Maritime%20Blue&#038;defaultSizeTypeFromCategory=Petite#ATLtop" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylor.com/catal.....ite#ATLtop</a><br /> <a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=296352&#038;CategoryID=19265" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/catalog/.....ryID=19265</a><br /> <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/product.jhtml?id=prod93543171&#038;catId=cat302203" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/p.....=cat302203</a></p> <p>Patterns</p> <p><a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=35721&#038;pid=574999" rel="nofollow">http://www.bananarepublic.com/.....pid=574999</a></p> <p>I didn't find many in patterns that I like. I have one in my closet that can be altered so I don't have to buy a new one.</p> <p>What do you think? </p>
