A beautiful coral, perhaps?

They usually indicate the length in inches on the site (although not always). A 36" dress usually hits me right around the top of the knees.&nbsp; </p> <p></p> <p>Lyn, me too! Hee hee. I wish it at least came in a different color, so it wasn't SO much like the original, you know? :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/issa-for-banana-republic#post-992005 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 17:34:23 +0000 lyn* 992005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sort of want the Kate M dress :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/issa-for-banana-republic#post-992003 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 17:33:19 +0000 Anonymous 992003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I highly doubt Banana is going to fo with super short dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/issa-for-banana-republic#post-991957 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 15:33:27 +0000 Nicole D 991957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you abut MillyXBR, disappointed too. &nbsp;I like the kimono one. &nbsp;Thanks for the heads up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/issa-for-banana-republic#post-991904 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 14:10:49 +0000 Lisa 991904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the heads up, this looks like a lovely collection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/issa-for-banana-republic#post-991455 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 21:22:04 +0000 Anonymous 991455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these, but I am bummed that they're so freaking short. I need very few dresses for my off time, so if I can't wear one for work, it's not happening. At least not at that price point. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/issa-for-banana-republic#post-991304 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 17:31:51 +0000 Thistle 991304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am officially in love!&nbsp; <b><i>If </i></b>they came to my knee, that is. I wouldn't wear a dress that short anywhere but date night. And with toddler, there just aren't that many date nights. One in 21 months to be exact! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/issa-for-banana-republic#post-991302 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 17:28:59 +0000 Anonymous 991302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The BR models are usually really tall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/issa-for-banana-republic#post-991213 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 15:54:03 +0000 Beth Ann 991213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the the dresses, but the length is rather discouraging.&nbsp; I checked photos online, and Kate's dress comes just to the top of her knee.&nbsp; Are the BR models just really tall?&nbsp; Are the younger women that BR is courting still wanting dresses midthigh? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/issa-for-banana-republic#post-991194 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 15:35:05 +0000 Anonymous 991194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really wish they were longer too. I know KM likes showing her knees, but not all of us do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/issa-for-banana-republic#post-991160 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 15:07:44 +0000 Ana 991160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adelfa, I don't have anything against polyester jersey in general. I just find that it doesn't absorb sweat very well and I hate that feeling I get when I am wearing it and get hot. So I avoid it, especially for warm weather clothing.&nbsp;</p> <p>Natalie, I love the blue one too!&nbsp;</p> <p>Zap, LUCKY! I'm super jealous right now. I think I will just check out the website first thing in the morning to see what they have. I hope you post a little report about what you've seen! I'd love to get a sneak preview.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ornella, I hear you. I'm short and have short legs so the dresses will probably hit me at the knee. I have a friend though who has really long legs and is tall, and we have the hardest time finding skirts and dresses that are long enough for her. I wish they had more variety in stores right now. It seems like with the introduction of midi-skirts, fashion is finally&nbsp;starting to slowly change.&nbsp; </p> <p></p> <p>There are 40 pieces in the collection, so I'm looking forward to seeing what else is in store.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/issa-for-banana-republic#post-991147 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 14:49:09 +0000 Ornella 991147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are so short </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/issa-for-banana-republic#post-991141 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 14:46:15 +0000 Anonymous 991141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I just got an invite for an opening event at the NYC flagship ( Music and snacks for cardmembers). I am definitely going. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/issa-for-banana-republic#post-991129 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 14:29:21 +0000 goldenpig 991129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like the blue one the best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/issa-for-banana-republic#post-991127 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 14:28:37 +0000 Adelfa 991127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I'm excited about it! I have poly jersey dresses, but they are sleeveless. I actually love them. Have you tried poly jersey? (I'm not a fan of poly in general.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/issa-for-banana-republic#post-991112 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 14:10:14 +0000 Ana 991112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suspect you're right, Suz. Sniff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/issa-for-banana-republic#post-991086 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 13:50:53 +0000 Suz 991086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun! It will be great to see these when they come out. I expect they will be poly jersey, though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/issa-for-banana-republic#post-991082 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 13:45:57 +0000 Ana 991082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just heard about this collaboration a couple of days ago and I'm really excited to see the collection. I love Issa London wrap dresses (alas, out of my budget).</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.glamour.com/fashion/blogs/dressed/2013/07/get-kate-middletons-engagement.html">http://www.glamour.com/fashion.....ement.html</a></p> <p>I'm a big Milly fan, but I wasn't very impressed with their collection for BR a few months ago. But I really like the look of the Brown tiny-print&nbsp;Zebra drape dress in their Issa London&nbsp;preview above. I'll definitely skip the blue Kate Middleton "engagement" dress knock-off, only because I think it's so iconic now. I don't want to look like a copy cat.&nbsp;But I LOVE it as an article of clothing, I think it's a beautiful dress and was perfect for her.&nbsp; </p> </p> <p>I'll be super sad if all the dresses are polyester jersey. :(</p> </p> <p>I think the collection hits stores on August 8. Anyone else planning to check it out?</p>
