Will you be buying the matching bolero too?</p> <p>As for suggestions, given the dress you've posted here I might turn you towards ModCloth or Shabby Apple for other dress options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress-for-a-wedding#post-847362 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 02:46:35 +0000 Sarah A 847362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is a very pretty floral dress, hard to tell on the figure flattery part without a chance to try it on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress-for-a-wedding#post-847356 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 02:38:15 +0000 rae 847356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I would look good on an hourglass! Usually flared skirts make me look stumpy if they are too long. for a wedding you can get it hemmed though. it is worth a try and you can always keep looking if it does not work out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress-for-a-wedding#post-847337 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 02:17:22 +0000 Thistle 847337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress, HATE strapless bras. A lot. And I mean hate them. Are you okay with it for this dress?</p> <p>Hourglasses look nice in fit and flares usually, and this one has lots of potential. The pattern and colors are so beautiful. But the material is going to make or break it. How it drapes on you will determine frumpy or fab, so only way to know is to try it on.</p> <p>Then take pics and post them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress-for-a-wedding#post-847327 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 02:12:57 +0000 Tanya 847327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a very pretty dress Columbine, but it would be really difficult to say without trying it on. In general fit and flare shapes tend to look good on hourglasses, so maybe give it a try? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress-for-a-wedding#post-847318 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 02:07:38 +0000 columbine(erin) 847318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies, I have two family weddings last weekend in May and first weekend in April. I'm looking at this dress, but wondering if it's not a good idea for a short hourglassy figure. I really like the colors and length, but I'm 5'3" and things that flare at the waist tend to make me look even shorter and wider than I am. I'd appreciate input on this dress or other suggestions! </p> <p><a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/jessica-howard-dress-sweater-sleeveless-floral-print-a-line?ID=799787&#038;PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/shop/pro.....sn_results</a> </p>
