The furry vest can add so much volume on top.<br /> Approprio, please do post a picture. Good idea with the sparkly pants. If they don't work with this dress. I have another sweater dress that should and it needs legging or something more than tights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-to-style-a-sweater-dress#post-1592141 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 20:12:43 +0000 approprio 1592141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice dress. Looks good in all these pics.&nbsp;To glam it up, maybe metallic pants underneath? I seem to recall you have a pair?</p> <p>I like a sweater dress as a tunic over pants or leggings. There's something about wearing tricot as a skirt that makes me feel a bit insecure. Apropos of nothing in particular, I've just done a deconstructive alteration on a sweater dress, cutting a large hole in the front and using it as the neckline or alternative armhole. Trust me, it worked. Might post a pic or two.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-to-style-a-sweater-dress#post-1592128 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 19:15:08 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1592128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hard to say whether sparkly hosiery and silver shoes will compete with the vest; I tend to think not, but often I find my faux-fur vest tricky to pair things with. I end up trying a lot of combinations with it before I walk out the door. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-to-style-a-sweater-dress#post-1592004 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 13:59:04 +0000 Anonymous 1592004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Staysfit. All the love for 6 has helped me decide to probably wear #6 to a holiday event tonight for which I have no idea what others will wear. I may try silvery sparkle hosiery and silver shoes to up the sparkle. Do you think that would compete too much with the furry vest? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-to-style-a-sweater-dress#post-1591972 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 10:57:21 +0000 Staysfit 1591972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are numbers 1 and 6. &nbsp;I love them both!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-to-style-a-sweater-dress#post-1591926 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 04:58:41 +0000 Anonymous 1591926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharan, I love your suggestions.&nbsp; Thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-to-style-a-sweater-dress#post-1591919 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 04:33:00 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1591919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is 6, followed by 1 and 2. In 1, I wondered about adding more color with the scarf--a red one, or a plaid, perhaps? But in 2, I like the soothing all-neutral effect, with the addition of the vest. <br />I like the idea of tall boots as an option, too, and sparkle is fun for adding a festive touch, too, perhaps with a bracelet or clutch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-to-style-a-sweater-dress#post-1591877 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 02:46:53 +0000 Anonymous 1591877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coco, thank you. Those felt most like "me".<br /> Thank you, Bonnie. I actually wore that outfit (2) to church.<br /> Thank you , Angie. The drama of that furry vest does turn heads and it is the right weight without a coat on chilly days.<br /> Dee, you have hit on the problem.<br /> Peri, that vest in 6 is crazy and warm. Another scarf in a print seems a good idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-to-style-a-sweater-dress#post-1591873 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 02:34:39 +0000 Peri 1591873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 5, 6 and 8. Overwhelming love for 6, that looks so crazy fun!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think I would love the scarf better in a different color. A print with some grey in it, so it had a reason for being. The white scarf just gives me a feeling like it's an afterthought, no real reason to belong.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-to-style-a-sweater-dress#post-1591860 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 01:31:29 +0000 Dee 1591860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think the proportions are off, per se, but with the collar it does look a little top heavy to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-to-style-a-sweater-dress#post-1591845 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 00:42:03 +0000 Angie 1591845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#6 is my best by far, and #5 is next.

I like it a lot! In fact, I like them all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-to-style-a-sweater-dress#post-1591624 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 13:46:58 +0000 Anonymous 1591624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Brooklyn, Shevia, JAileen and Dee. Brooklyn, I'd not thought of using taller boots with 7 but it might help. I agree that 4 could use some bling or scarf. I will remember to try that and have a scarf that has grey and burgundy in it.<br /> Shevia and Dee, using 6 for a glam look made me smile. I think it would be fun.<br /> Are proportions off on 3? Might it be better without the faux fur collar? (It is removable and has a regular small collar underneath) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-to-style-a-sweater-dress#post-1591549 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 04:24:54 +0000 Dee 1591549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 and 2 for more casual looks and 6 for the most fun/festive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-to-style-a-sweater-dress#post-1591535 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 03:41:01 +0000 JAileen 1591535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think you need much help styling this dress! I like 1 best. Very very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-to-style-a-sweater-dress#post-1591530 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 03:38:08 +0000 Jaime 1591530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1,#2 and #5 for a regular fab day and #6 for high power glam festive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-to-style-a-sweater-dress#post-1591526 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 03:09:47 +0000 Brooklyn 1591526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress. I think the fur topper in no 6 is the winner for holiday glam. I also really like the biker look you gave going in no 8. Not sure how festive it is but it looks good. I think no 7 might look better with tall boots. Not sure why I say that :). No 1 and 2 are classy chic. No 4 could perhaps use some extra sparkle or bling - either jewellery or a scarf? YLF Joy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-to-style-a-sweater-dress#post-1591525 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 03:09:41 +0000 Anonymous 1591525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, Karie and Windchime, thank you for looking at all these and commenting. The vests in 7&amp;8 are the same vest. It is reversible. I'm sorry to have made it difficult to see the collars, something I need to work on.<br /> Katie, I'd forgotten that I do have patterned grey tights that I often wear with this dress. It sounds like simple is best. That crazy furry vest needs it's own styling thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-to-style-a-sweater-dress#post-1591520 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 02:58:16 +0000 Windchime 1591520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks like it fits you beautifully, and you've created extremely flattering proportions with the ankle boots. I love how the scarf in #1 bookends your hair (there's that signature color again). Also, how awesome is your fur topper in #6?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-to-style-a-sweater-dress#post-1591515 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 02:45:25 +0000 Karie 1591515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look great, but #1 and #8 are my favs. With sweater dresses I prefer simpler stylings that let the simplicity of the dress stand out. I usually just add a scarf, long necklace, or sometimes colored tights for a little pizzaz. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-to-style-a-sweater-dress#post-1591512 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 02:39:23 +0000 anne 1591512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, I think they all look good as shown, with the exception of number 7 - I think it is the proportions of top to "skirt" on that one. I like number 1 the most though. Bit hard to see the neckline on some of them (this is hard to show on photos taken by yourself, I know too well) which might influence my opinion if I could see it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-to-style-a-sweater-dress#post-1591507 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 02:25:34 +0000 Anonymous 1591507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie's blog article on creating a cozy holiday look with a sweater dress sent me to the closet. This post is based on a medium grey Calvin Klein dress I've had for a few years. The toppers are all from my closet. Do you like any of these? I'd appreciate your opinions and suggestions for how to make this basic dress more festive.<br /> 1. is the basic dress with a simple scarf. I have other scarves. The other photos show other possible stylings. Thoughts? </p>
