They are small by Australian standards (in Oz most sizes start at 8), let alone US ones.</p> <p>I agree with Joy's suggestion of a longsleeved knit top underneath. This is quite of popular look over here at the moment </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-over-pointy-sleeved-dress#post-23763 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 08:18:05 +0000 cheapandchic 23763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your responses! The pattern is a vintage Vogue from the 50's. Here's where I yoinked the image from (check out the back of the envelope!): <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9268851" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/view_listi.....id=9268851</a></p> <p>Joy, I have a cropped white jeans jacket that I've been hesitant about pairing with it. I'm afraid of too much structure in one outfit, but I think I'll give it a try.</p> <p>Shell, a wrap is a good idea, but I don't know if I'd wear it with anything else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-over-pointy-sleeved-dress#post-23762 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 06:54:13 +0000 shell 23762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>how about a wrap instead? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-over-pointy-sleeved-dress#post-23755 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 04:56:17 +0000 Angie 23755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(could be UK sizing) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-over-pointy-sleeved-dress#post-23739 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 03:17:09 +0000 Anonymous 23739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting, Anne. I wonder what year that pattern is from. </p> <p>It would seem that any jacket you use with this dress would need to be of a heavy fabric like denim or twill or leather.<br /> Instead of a jacket over the dress, have you tried a long-sleeved knit top under the dress? You could leave some of the top buttons of the dress undone to show the top underneath. With the mandarin collar you could use scoop, crew or funnel neck tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-over-pointy-sleeved-dress#post-23730 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 02:49:28 +0000 anne 23730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Off topic, did you notice the sizing on that pattern? Size 14 and a 32 inch bust and 35 inch hips! Shows how much sizes have changed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-over-pointy-sleeved-dress#post-23712 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 00:54:38 +0000 cheapandchic 23712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite dress is a navy corduroy shirtdress with short kimono sleeves. Given the heavy fabric used, the sleeves stick out and poke quite a bit, which is fine on its own, but is a big problem when I need to wear a jacket over it.</p> <p>The dress has exactly the same sleeves as this one, but with a straight skirt and mandarin collar.<br /> <a href="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a381/coffee___tv/Vogue_7689.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i15.photobucket.com/alb.....e_7689.jpg</a></p> <p>I wear it with a skinny belt, either red snakeskin or tan. Lately, I've worn a white hoodie over it, but I'd like something either edgy or retro to complete the look.</p> <p>Any ideas as to what I can wear over it, spring-fall? I live in san francisco. </p>
