Love them, they are soft and comfy. It would be a shame to not be able to wear this great outfit any day you want!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-prevent-a-marilyn-moment/page/2#post-1926430 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 12:12:03 +0000 Lesley 1926430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this dress! If it were me I'd say, the hell with it, who cares if I flash everyone getting on and off the subway? In a windy city where it was happening constantly, then I'd do something about it, but a moment at the subway station is not too bad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-prevent-a-marilyn-moment#post-1926387 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 09:22:11 +0000 approprio 1926387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of vintage bloomers for this very purpose. An edge of lace can be a nice detail under an unruly hemline. Boxer shorts too.</p> <p>Weights might work, but could also change the drape of the skirt.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-prevent-a-marilyn-moment#post-1926196 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 20:26:35 +0000 Anonymous 1926196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RACHYLOU is right about weights ( or some times chains in hems work.) You can get both an fabric store.<br /> But undergarments like suggested work also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-prevent-a-marilyn-moment#post-1925976 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 03:34:05 +0000 Jessikams 1925976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great ideas all. I will try it with a long vest layered over to hold it down, and will definitely also wear it layered over leggings once the weather cools. I love this cut and feel sure it will find its place in my wardrobe somehow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-prevent-a-marilyn-moment#post-1925975 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 03:33:14 +0000 Anonymous 1925975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress and Angie found the solution. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-prevent-a-marilyn-moment#post-1925959 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 02:21:04 +0000 Jaime 1925959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear biker shorts under loose dresses for this very reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-prevent-a-marilyn-moment#post-1925945 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 01:16:26 +0000 pil 1925945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you find a solution, it’s a great dress that should be seen. I kind of feel your pain. The same thing happened to me while bending over outside while wearing a blousy top with no cami. That was embarrassing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-prevent-a-marilyn-moment#post-1925941 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 00:58:32 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1925941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>The dress is super fabulous on you.

Love the dress and booties together. No ideas for windy weather though, have the same problem with some of my dresses. Last time I was in that situation I put on a pair of extra long brief like shorts, similar to those in Angies pic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-prevent-a-marilyn-moment#post-1925821 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 15:28:10 +0000 Suz 1925821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no answer to the question but I hope you'll wear the dress a lot.

(If I waited until a non-windy day I wouldn't wear them much... and often a day that seems still at dawn is breezy when I get to work and blustery when I leave.) I wear a slip, good coverage undies, and get on with life! Skirts fly up, especially when the wind swirls in parking lots and next to buildings. It happens.</p> <p>If it's only this one that has issues, then a few discrete weights may be worth it. You want to make sure they're light enough to not distort how the dress hangs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-prevent-a-marilyn-moment#post-1925801 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 14:11:00 +0000 KMM 1925801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can use nickles for hem weights! I’ve sewn a few into the hems of one or two dresses that I wear often. They’re just the right weight without being too heavy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-prevent-a-marilyn-moment#post-1925798 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 14:00:12 +0000 texstyle 1925798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've wondered about this too - we can have some pretty fierce winds here. I did buy some skimmies but haven't tried them yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-prevent-a-marilyn-moment#post-1925795 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 13:59:17 +0000 Sara L. 1925795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks great on you and I love it with the booties.&nbsp; I avoid wearing certain dresses when I know the weather will be breezy or windy.&nbsp; Also, I have a pair of thin workout shorts that I wear under a certain dress that is especially light and breezy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-prevent-a-marilyn-moment#post-1925794 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 13:59:17 +0000 Cardiff girl 1925794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely,watch the weather forecast with care! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-prevent-a-marilyn-moment#post-1925791 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 13:53:15 +0000 JAileen 1925791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks fab on you.

I do usually check the weather forecast before wearing a dress or skirt of that description. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-prevent-a-marilyn-moment#post-1925781 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 13:17:31 +0000 bj1111 1925781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try small plumbing washers. If you put weights on such a floaty dress, it will change how it hangs esp based on where you put the weights</p> <p>Maybe save for a still day </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-prevent-a-marilyn-moment#post-1925748 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 10:41:16 +0000 krishnidoux 1925748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute!<br />I always run cold, so my solution would be to dress it up. Either by adding a long topper, the weight of which would keep everything down in a metro or windy street setting, but that could be removed too. Or by adding capri leggings but that would change the dress's feel. However, its cut is one that would do well with capri leggings and a ballet flat or a casual sandal.&nbsp;<br />Your colored shades are just the perfect touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-prevent-a-marilyn-moment#post-1925746 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 10:29:01 +0000 Anonymous 1925746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything about this ensemble. &nbsp;I like the idea of Jockey skimmies because I wonder if weights would throw off the movement of the garment. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-prevent-a-marilyn-moment#post-1925738 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 09:46:47 +0000 ChrisM 1925738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look fantastic!! Love the dress and the way it skims - and booties too! Yes!</p> <p>My suggestion is Jockey skimmies. They are very lightweight, just enough coverage - I get what you’re saying about defeating the purpose, but potential wardrobe malfunctions shouldn’t be a deal breaker when deciding to wear this dress ! Too cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-prevent-a-marilyn-moment#post-1925736 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 09:42:22 +0000 Sal 1925736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me the point of the dress is the cool breeziness of it and too many layers defeat that purpose.&nbsp; A slip could work on cooler days though..</p> <p>I would just wear full coverage undies and avoid on the very windiest of days.</p> <p>You look fantastic in it and I love the boots with the dress.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-prevent-a-marilyn-moment#post-1925734 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 09:29:18 +0000 Jessikams 1925734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks StyleFan! It’s just flattering enough, don’t you think? (Though my hubs asked if I had stolen one of his shirts)</p> <p>This was actually my first time to try booties with bare legs. Felt pretty OK about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-prevent-a-marilyn-moment#post-1925732 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 09:06:18 +0000 Style Fan 1925732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, first of all, you look amazing.&nbsp; I love the way you have put this outfit together.&nbsp; Very Fab.&nbsp; I have also read about the weights that the Queen uses in her skirt to avoid the Marilyn moments.&nbsp; I have a skirt that could use weights to avoid disaster. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-prevent-a-marilyn-moment#post-1925723 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 07:01:23 +0000 Bijou 1925723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a very breezy dress that has an inbuilt short cotton slip in the skirt, so that if a Marilyn moment happens, I don't have to worry about flashing. Is it possible to add something like this to your dress as wearing a slip will be another layer which sort of defeats the purpose of a nice light breezy dress on a very hot day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-prevent-a-marilyn-moment#post-1925722 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 07:01:09 +0000 Jessikams 1925722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am seriously considering weights. Entering and exiting the subway station was a disaster, with all the blasts of air!</p> <p>I could wear shorts underneath but I feel like that would defeat the purpose of the dress. Hmmmmmm. At least I was wearing very full coverage undies today. </p>
