The ASOS one sold out. My coworker liked the sweetheart neckline better but I wasn't too sure about it from the start. The BEBE one is on it's way to me now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress#post-721379 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 18:38:00 +0000 Transcona Shannon 721379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY!!!!

Funny, I thought you knew this was a knock off of Jen's dress. I saw it in Sept.

Elle, that Tom Ford is stunning!! I didn't realize this dress was a knock off! Wow Jennifer Aniston IS a knock out in this!! Wish I had the $$ and the access to get my hands on the real thing!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress#post-718953 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 11:37:49 +0000 Deborah 718953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, I like this for you. I don't think it's tacky but I do think the way the model is wearing it looks a bit "so so". With your style and elegance I think you would really work this dress. Given you are petite, I imagine the dress might be knee length on you? This alone makes the dress look "classier" than on the model. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress#post-718946 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 11:30:42 +0000 Mander 718946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. Houndstooth, leather, what's not to love? If I had the legs for it, and the right kind of occasion, I'd wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress#post-718902 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 08:02:18 +0000 goldenpig 718902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually love this for you! Black and white...houndstooth...peplum...I love it! You would so rock this dress especially blinged out like the second pic you linked to. I personally wouldn't pick this dress as I don't like wearing strapless, but I could totally see you wearing it and you'd look great in it with red pumps, clutch and lipstick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress#post-718891 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 07:24:18 +0000 fieldmouse 718891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.fashioncirqle.com/2012/08/28/the-look-for-less-jennifer-anistons-tom-ford-dress-at-wanderlust-premiere/" rel="nofollow">http://www.fashioncirqle.com/2.....-premiere/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress#post-718851 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 04:41:04 +0000 rachylou 718851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mm. It's tacky. Was that too forthright? But I mean, you say that like that's a bad thing... I like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress#post-718800 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 03:24:30 +0000 cheryl 718800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually really like it, but I am a fan of houndstooth! Like Shannon, I think red accessories would be great or even purple or hot pink! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress#post-718754 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 01:51:39 +0000 modgrl 718754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, thanks for the links. They are all very nice, just not speaking to me like the cute little peplum. </p> <p>Missvee, I can see that it would accentuate my rear view - that is a positive for me :)</p> <p>Vicki, we go to lots of family russian restaurant parties. they are bling-er-iffic affairs. more skin and sparkle the better. as others have noted, this dress is pretty tame, I would have to sparkle it up with accessories. </p> <p>Anyway you've all confirmed the feeling I was getting from this dress... it is cute but young and possibly borderline tacky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress#post-718704 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 00:37:14 +0000 Jaime 718704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks a bit conservative for the Russian restaurant parties I have seen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress#post-718671 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 00:15:27 +0000 Vicki 718671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw Shannon's thread and hopped over here to see your dress. I don't understand the Russian restaurant parties, so I'm probably of no help here. Do you own or run a Russian restaurant or go for social affairs?</p> <p>There is a lot going on with the dress in its print and peplum. I rather like the three links Anna shared and could see you in any of these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress#post-718661 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 00:08:08 +0000 catgirl 718661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if the opposite of cute is tacky. Sometimes tacky IS cute. I think it's a little odd, though. Will have to ponder why, or see it on a mortal body. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress#post-718540 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 21:22:22 +0000 annagybe 718540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this one a whole lot better</p> <p><a href="http://www.bebe.com/Dresses/View-All/Ariel-Ponte-Binding-Dress/pc/197/c/0/sc/198/14979.pro" rel="nofollow">http://www.bebe.com/Dresses/Vi...../14979.pro</a></p> <p>But I think you like more black for Russian restaurant, yes?</p> <p>ETA but not as much</p> <p><a href="http://www.bebe.com/Dresses/View-All/Celia-Colorblock-Ponte-Dress/pc/197/c/0/sc/198/22470.pro" rel="nofollow">http://www.bebe.com/Dresses/Vi...../22470.pro</a></p> <p>And one more</p> <p><a href="http://www.bebe.com/Dresses/View-All/Double-Split-Strap-Colorblock-Dress/pc/197/c/0/sc/198/14443.pro" rel="nofollow">http://www.bebe.com/Dresses/Vi...../14443.pro</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress#post-718536 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 21:19:28 +0000 missvee 718536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the pattern mixing, but it does accentuate the model's hips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress#post-718303 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 16:53:00 +0000 modgrl 718303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are showing it here tarted up enough for the Russian Rest - </p> <p><a href="http://www.bebe.com/Dresses/197.sec" rel="nofollow">http://www.bebe.com/Dresses/197.sec</a></p> <p>But ok, I can see that it's mostly tacky votes!</p> <p>Thanks for the help ladies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress#post-718290 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 16:44:04 +0000 Suz 718290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a bit tacky, although I can see it looking very cute on you. Which doesn't mean I think you're tacky. It's just that you could elevate it. I am thinking of your polka dot dress (the bare shouldered one) to which this one is a little bit similar. </p> <p>It would be a lot nicer and more ladylike (while still being sexy) on you than it is shown...but I still think it is on the young side. So I voted nay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress#post-718288 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 16:43:39 +0000 Anonymous 718288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that if anyone would look great in this dress, it would be you. The practical side of my brain wonders if you needed a jacket or cardi for warmth, would those side sections that stick out interfere and be a pain for styling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress#post-718283 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 16:40:56 +0000 annagybe 718283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't like the pattern mix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress#post-718278 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 16:37:59 +0000 Mo 718278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a spin off of menswear, which is a style I don't really see going out to Russian date nights? maybe I'm wrong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress#post-718264 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 16:31:54 +0000 Transcona Shannon 718264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's cute - especially on adorable you! Red patent heels and fab clutch, a fabulous necklace and cuff and you are ready to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress#post-718263 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 16:31:06 +0000 Diana 718263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I voted Nay, although I don't think it's exactly tacky. It just looks a bit juvenile to me. I feel like for the Russian parties, you need to go full-out SEXY, and this is not quite glam enough to me. It's just a bit too girlish, I think. </p>
