I think if you have a rectangular build, this should work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/junior-dresses-as-tunics#post-220432 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 05:10:36 +0000 AJ 220432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dresses in regular sizes have been so short this year that they could pass for tunics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/junior-dresses-as-tunics#post-220346 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 02:36:18 +0000 Marley 220346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to try clothes in the Jr. Department - and nothing ever worked - and I'm pretty thin and flat-chested - but still, nothing worked. I finally gave up and am glad I did. Now, when I walk past the Jr. Dept. I say to myself, "what were you thinking????" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/junior-dresses-as-tunics#post-220289 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 01:16:36 +0000 MNsara 220289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have done it a couple of times, but found that the fabrication was usually the kind that didn't even last the entire season without looking tired/pilled/etc.</p> <p>I have had better luck getting Petite dresses and using them as tunics. . . then I have access to the usual Misses brands I am familiar with. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/junior-dresses-as-tunics#post-220207 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 20:44:53 +0000 Kim 220207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No weirder than my friend who shoe shops in the "childrens" section of Aldo. They have her size there! LOL</p> <p>I actually finally tried on a "dress" that I liked at Costa Blanca the other day and may go back for it this weekend if I can't get my mind off of it. It's the first dress that I've liked that will work with leggings for me (looks wise). It's got alot of classic style and its only 30 bucks. The down side is that they don't return anything, only exchange, (not even a store credit). I left it on the hanger to give myself some time to think about it more. I'm only afraid that it might do the dreaded "creep up" cause it's a heavy knit, and I'd be wearing it over heavier leggings for the winter (not the shiny kind, but actual knit leggings...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/junior-dresses-as-tunics#post-220162 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 19:25:09 +0000 kellygirl 220162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think that's weird at all. I could see this working for petites and slim or rectangular builds in particular. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/junior-dresses-as-tunics#post-220154 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 19:20:36 +0000 tarzy 220154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've tried this, but unfortunately I had the same problem as Barbara. On me, junior sizes are just not cut right - plus the fabric/styling is usually a bit young and trendy for me. But if you're petite, it might be a great solution for you! Let us know if you find any treasures! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/junior-dresses-as-tunics#post-220122 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 18:51:01 +0000 Barbara 220122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Susan, I too have tried this and failed miserably. Junior clothes aren't tailored to fit a woman's body.</p> <p>No, it's not weird! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/junior-dresses-as-tunics#post-220112 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 18:35:14 +0000 Susan Brennan 220112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've not had good luck finding things to wear over leggings and straight leg ponte pants. (I don't like my thighs and I'm 5'7"). I realized I've been shopping the junior dresses for cute tops to wear as tunics. Anyone else do this? Is this weird? </p>
