I hope to see pics of you in your gorgeous cheong sam soon :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hi-everyone-q-re-dressing-down-a-dress#post-76785 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 14:31:34 +0000 Stylin 76785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Chewy, I'll try that.</p> <p>Thanks Angie. I am just under 5'4" and I usually take a size 4. </p> <p>I was turned onto the cheong sam in the early 90's and own a few long ones, that's why I couldn't resist this knee-length one at the thrift store. Of course in those days I was a slim size 2! After having my boys, I have curved out more; bigger bust, bigger hips, bigger bum. </p> <p>The dress fits well so I would like to wear it more. I will try it with leggings, flats and a jean jacket as per Chewy's suggestion. Any more suggestions are welcome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hi-everyone-q-re-dressing-down-a-dress#post-76750 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 02:06:33 +0000 Angie 76750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the forum!</p> <p>I love the cheong sam. But it requires a very, VERY specific body type in order to look good. If you are a slim, small busted rectangle, you're in business. I know you can’t take pictures, but do you think you fit the body type description? You do not need to be tall! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hi-everyone-q-re-dressing-down-a-dress#post-76734 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 00:05:49 +0000 chewyspaghetti 76734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about pairing it with leggings, flats and a denim jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hi-everyone-q-re-dressing-down-a-dress#post-76730 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 23:35:37 +0000 Stylin 76730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have finally plucked up the courage to ask a question on the forum so here goes:</p> <p>I thrifted a Chinese-inspired (cheong sam) sleeveless, red and black, form-fitting, knee-length dress. It would be great for a date night or dressed-up occassion. However, I am a SAHM of 3 boys and don't have many opportunities to get dressed up. I would like to get more wear out of this find. Does anyone have suggestions as to how I can wear this dressed down?</p> <p>My camera isn't working so can't post any pictures :(</p> <p>Thanks. </p>
