Actually, I think the mismatch adds some dimension and shows off the seaming in front. Great dress! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-bought-this-dress#post-920496 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 02:43:32 +0000 Parsley 920496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I guess I'm late here, but I'm glad to hear that you're keeping the dress, Brenda. It looks great on you.<br />I think it looks terrific without the tank, and not immodest at all, although I understand having a different standard for church. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-bought-this-dress#post-920469 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 02:13:22 +0000 Suz 920469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Glad it is working well for you, Brenda! I do admit that the sweetheart neckline thing might merely be a matter of taste. I can really see how useful it would be with the other features, and if your husband likes it, that is an even bigger plus!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-bought-this-dress#post-920394 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 00:46:59 +0000 qfbrenda 920394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yay!&nbsp; It's good thing the majority like it because the tags are off and I'm wearing it today.&nbsp; I added a colorful scarf that has a black background for some pattern mixing, along with my denim vest.<br /><br />The tank is required for me to feel comfy wearing it to church, but I think I would be ok wearing it without other places.&nbsp; <br /><br />Thanks, all!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-bought-this-dress#post-920388 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 00:39:25 +0000 Jules 920388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I'm embarrassed, I somehow misread that you had ordered both colours so I just wanted to compare! I like this one </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-bought-this-dress#post-920361 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 00:07:39 +0000 Deborah 920361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it's a lovely dress and is very flattering on you.&nbsp; I personally don't love a sweatheart neckline but that's just a matter of taste.&nbsp; I also think this could look cute with a long black duster coat/jacket.&nbsp; I say keep. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-bought-this-dress#post-920309 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 22:56:41 +0000 Nicole D 920309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love it. &nbsp;I think it&nbsp;looks good not matched up - more optical illusiony https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-bought-this-dress#post-920290 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 22:42:26 +0000 Sheila 920290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think the mismatching might be intentional...it gives the dress a zippier look than it would if everything matched "just so". So it does not bother my eye at all.<br /><br />I also reacted to the sweetheart neckline with some misgivings. If you have to fill it in with something additional then maybe this dress is getting more complicated than you want to deal with. Just a thought. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-bought-this-dress#post-920288 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 22:40:50 +0000 Angie 920288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Killer dress! <br /><br />That means that the mismatched stripes do not bother me at all. It's quite charming actually. The sweetheart neckline adds to the charm to my eye.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-bought-this-dress#post-920284 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 22:34:34 +0000 cinnamon fern 920284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I see Suz's point. &nbsp;The sweetheart neckline seems wrong for this dress to me, but I tend not to like them anyway. &nbsp;They feel fussy to me.<br /><br />Do you need the tank underneath to feel comfortable? &nbsp;If so, I would definitely return. &nbsp;Tank + that neckline is a bit weird. &nbsp;However, it doesn't look low to me!<br /><br />Other than my neckline concerns, the dress is great. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-bought-this-dress#post-919836 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 05:17:50 +0000 Suz 919836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You do have nice clavicles!&nbsp;<br /><br />However, I will be the naysayer here. (Ducking) I find the mis-matched stripes a bit distracting/ visually jarring....but IRL, I suspect that wouldn't be so bad. What I'm less convinced about is a sweetheart neckline for you. Not because your clavicles aren't up to it. But something about the shape seems (to me) to be fighting with you. And perhaps, too, that the neckline doesn't seem to go with the strong contrast graphic pattern. Maybe that is getting altogether too particular, I don't know.&nbsp;<br /><br />OTOH, I can easily see how a dress like this could be super-useful. It has sleeves, but it's not inherently a winter dress. It's knit, so it's comfortable and can be dressed up or down. The price is more than right.&nbsp;<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-bought-this-dress#post-919760 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 02:17:31 +0000 Transcona Shannon 919760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That wouldn't bother me at all Brenda because it obviously looks like it's part of the dress' overall style.<br /><br />I think the dress look fantastic on you and I like it on its own as well as how you have it styled in the last pic.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-bought-this-dress#post-919700 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 00:56:50 +0000 kellygirl 919700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great dress. The misalignment of the stripes looks intentional to me. It looks awesome on you! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-bought-this-dress#post-919654 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 00:16:07 +0000 Echo 919654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Part of the charm of striped dresses like this, to me at least, is that the stripes DON'[T match up. I like the play of one panel off another, and the fact that you can see they are different; it accents the seams. I like the look, and the dress really looks nice on you. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-bought-this-dress#post-919653 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 00:13:54 +0000 qfbrenda 919653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks!<br /><br />The light gray one would make me look ill.&nbsp; I can do dark grays but light grays wash me out.&nbsp; I have no idea if that will still be true when my grays grow in more.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-bought-this-dress#post-919651 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 00:10:12 +0000 Anonymous 919651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks nice!

I'd like to see the lighter one on you. I like this one but maybe 8/10. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-bought-this-dress#post-919648 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 00:00:46 +0000 qfbrenda 919648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Added photos.&nbsp; :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-bought-this-dress#post-919467 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 16:46:12 +0000 qfbrenda 919467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ha!&nbsp; I knew someone would ask that.&nbsp; I'll try to put up a pic later today.&nbsp; The stripes make it visually busier but the dress's shape gives the illusion of curves, which on this IT can be difficult to find.&nbsp; So it's a trade off.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-bought-this-dress#post-919460 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 16:37:24 +0000 Angie 919460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It would depend on what it looked like on, Brenda.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-bought-this-dress#post-919454 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 16:19:10 +0000 qfbrenda 919454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ How much would it bother you that the stripes don't match up?&nbsp; I ordered the black and white one to try.&nbsp; I like how it fits but the stripes give me pause.&nbsp; <br /><br /><a href="http://us.asos.com/ASOS-Skater-Dress-With-Sweetheart-Neck-In-Stripe-Print/zgu3g/?iid=2718225&amp;cid=8834&amp;sh=0&amp;pge=0&amp;pgesize=200&amp;sort=3&amp;clr=Grey&amp;mporgp=L0FTT1MvQVNPUy1Ta2F0ZXItRHJlc3MtV2l0aC1Td2VldGhlYXJ0LU5lY2stSW4tU3RyaXBlLVByaW50L1Byb2Qv" rel="nofollow">http://us.asos.com/ASOS-Skater.....38;cid=883</a><br /><br /><br />Edited to add pictures.&nbsp; This dress gives the illusion that I'm curvy.&nbsp; Um... not so much.&nbsp; The boobs and hips look bigger but it's all smoke and mirrors.<br /><br />1)&nbsp; by itself... a bit lower than I usually wear at the neck, hubby loves how it shows off the clavicles<br /><br />2)&nbsp; with a tank underneath<br /><br />3)&nbsp; just trying a sweater<br /><br />Should I keep or send it back?<br />
