I really like the Cue one. Saks has the Theory one in my size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-young-looking#post-815948 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 01:23:08 +0000 Lyrebirdgully 815948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Anna. What a fantastic dress, too bad about the bodice design. I love the fit and flare look, and it looks awesomely modern in a heavy fabric, the heavier the better. Unfortunately so many of the current styles have the pesky high neckline and indented shoulder straps which are less flattering to a full bust.<br /> I have seen the following one worn in the city by people with fuller figures and I must say it looks outstanding (as well as being 10 out of 10 on figure flattery); the clever vertical princess line seaming and pattern location seems to take care of those issues. The wider shoulder line adds balance and you could always wear it with the zip open to "lower" the neckline.<br /> <a href="http://www.cue.cc/Summer2O12#page-2" rel="nofollow">http://www.cue.cc/Summer2O12#page-2</a></p> <p>Here is another one in a"neoprene" (??) style fabric .The seaming looks amazing and the line over the bust looks as if it could be really flattering, and again there is a zip which could be worn open to "roughen" the look and lower the neckline. Although the dress on its own looks a little sweet, it would not take much (patterned tights and statement shoes) to jazz up this item. Nice with blonde hair!<br /> <a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/theory-dress-bonbi-w-navarra?ID=661888" rel="nofollow">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....?ID=661888</a>.<br /> <a href="http://www.upscalehype.com/2012/10/stacy-keibler-wears-theory-bonbi-fit-flare-dress/" rel="nofollow">http://www.upscalehype.com/201.....are-dress/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-young-looking#post-815013 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 04:55:06 +0000 DonnaF 815013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An 18" skirt seems awfully short to me, and I'm a petite. I can see my equally petite 19 year old daughter wearing this. . .but not at this price point! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-young-looking#post-814877 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 02:36:12 +0000 Aziraphale 814877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I think it would be. Racerback tanks are young and sporty, and full, flouncy, short skirts always look juvenile to my eye. I don't have a poison eye for that dress -- it's quite cute -- but I would have to say, much as I dislike setting age limits on things, that such a dress would only work on a woman younger than 25. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-young-looking#post-814875 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 02:34:50 +0000 Aziraphale 814875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oops, double post, sorry </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-young-looking#post-814865 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 02:20:13 +0000 Mo 814865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the inset shoulders add a sexy vibe that negates the cheerleader skirt tendencies. But I see you found the fit wouldn't work for your bust. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-young-looking#post-814756 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 00:43:40 +0000 Girl X 814756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I realise you've already decided against it due to the boobage, but I don't think it's too young at all! The ankle boots are giving it a twee feel, as would ballet flats, but I think it would be grown up and gorgeous with elegant pumps or tall (OTK!) boots. I wish the dress had pockets though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-young-looking#post-814664 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 23:22:44 +0000 Anonymous 814664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe cute for playing tennis? Looks like a very conservative cheerleader's uniform to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-young-looking#post-814658 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 23:17:29 +0000 lori l 814658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. I love it.</p> <p>I dont know your age, but if you're asking, then it's too young. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-young-looking#post-814510 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 21:30:24 +0000 Anonymous 814510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It depends on where the waist hits you. If it is a high as in the model, yes. If it is lower, it might work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-young-looking#post-814483 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 21:02:03 +0000 annagybe 814483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok thanks everyone. Also I just read the reviews, and everyone said it wouldn't work for a larger bust. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-young-looking#post-814445 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 20:40:22 +0000 catgirl 814445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the high waistline reads as juniors, although it's Alexander Wang. I do adore the cut of the shoulders, and I'm smitten by the model's hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-young-looking#post-814438 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 20:36:52 +0000 Day Vies 814438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes -- the skirt length, racer back and tank top all say young, but I really think it's a matter of appropriateness. Where is the wearer going? What shape is the wearer's body in? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-young-looking#post-814432 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 20:30:18 +0000 rachylou 814432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I have to say yes.</p> <p>It's the length, but it's also because it's inappropriate for anyone who has places to go, people to see, and things to do.</p> <p>However, if you were 60, way leggy, and had snow white hair - like Carmen - I think you could get away with it. Of course, you would have to have taken early retirement and have no place you really have to be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-young-looking#post-814378 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 19:53:40 +0000 ironkurtin 814378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's pretty smocklike. I think something similar would work, but the waist on this is pretty high and the skirt is pretty short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-young-looking#post-814356 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 19:36:00 +0000 Anonymous 814356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-young-looking#post-814353 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 19:33:47 +0000 cciele 814353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also think that it reads "young" as is, because of the short flared skirt combined with the tight racerback. If anyone could make it less young-looking and their own, it'd be you, but I suspect it might take more effort than it's worth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-young-looking#post-814350 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 19:31:22 +0000 Thistle 814350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the other ladies. I think if it had a lot more length too it, then no, not juvenille. However that short and flared . . . it actually kind of reminds me a bit of a cheerleader uniform. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-young-looking#post-814338 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 19:20:11 +0000 Anonymous 814338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me, yes. Maybe you could pull it off with the right styling, but it would be tricky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-young-looking#post-814336 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 19:19:45 +0000 Janet 814336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Shannon and Ceit. I have a bit of poison eye for stiff pleated flared short skirts, though, so you may want to take my word with a grain of salt. I love the top half of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-young-looking#post-814335 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 19:18:56 +0000 Anonymous 814335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes. And it would be hard to style it so it didn't look "young". Those very short, flared skirts look girl-ish no matter what you wear them with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-young-looking#post-814332 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 19:17:18 +0000 Anonymous 814332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's pretty short, and the silhouette is young. But I think if you styled it right it could work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-young-looking#post-814322 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 19:09:52 +0000 Transcona Shannon 814322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it would all depend on how you styled it - I think it does have the potential to look too young. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-young-looking#post-814321 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 19:09:26 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 814321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my eye, yes.
