I realized then that the photos tell a lot more by what they don’t show, than by what they do show. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun---i%e2%80%99ll-leave-the-puff-sleeves-for-others#post-1914862 Tue, 01 May 2018 14:20:06 +0000 gradfashionista 1914862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress fits well, but the puffed sleeves and stripes combo is a bit much, to my eye. </p> <p>And yes, the stock photo is rather deceptive, considering that a primary feature of the garment is obscured. </p> <p>Anyone else have a strong association of puffed sleeves with Anne of Green Gables? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun---i%e2%80%99ll-leave-the-puff-sleeves-for-others#post-1914850 Tue, 01 May 2018 14:01:40 +0000 texstyle 1914850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Puff sleeves don't feel right on me either so I hear you too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun---i%e2%80%99ll-leave-the-puff-sleeves-for-others#post-1914848 Tue, 01 May 2018 13:58:25 +0000 Suz 1914848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is great, but I hear you on the sleeves.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun---i%e2%80%99ll-leave-the-puff-sleeves-for-others#post-1914840 Tue, 01 May 2018 13:15:20 +0000 delurked 1914840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isabel - glad you can rework the top to suit you better. I am liking the resurgence of eyelet I’ve been seeing this year. It’s generally cool to wear. </p> <p>Colette - yay for free returns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun---i%e2%80%99ll-leave-the-puff-sleeves-for-others#post-1914833 Tue, 01 May 2018 12:58:43 +0000 Isabel 1914833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After shopping a little with my daughter this past weekend, I told her that I love many things in the stores but all the flutter and puffed sleeves are turn offs for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>I did buy this shirt at Ann Taylor but I am going to have the sleeve reworked at the seamstress. She will curt off the sleeve at the elastic and make it a cap sleeve for me. Rather inexpensive and I get a top that is cool ( as in temperature ) and that I love.</p> <p></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.anntaylor.com/eyelet-plaid-puff-sleeve-top/455529?skuId=24818896&amp;defaultColor=1362&amp;catid=cata000010">https://www.anntaylor.com/eyel.....362&#038;a</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun---i%e2%80%99ll-leave-the-puff-sleeves-for-others#post-1914832 Tue, 01 May 2018 12:53:45 +0000 Colette 1914832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress and actually think it looks great on you, but I am not a fan of super puffy shoulders for myself so I understand. The picture of the model in the dress definitely looks different. Thank goodness for free returns! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun---i%e2%80%99ll-leave-the-puff-sleeves-for-others#post-1914831 Tue, 01 May 2018 12:41:34 +0000 delurked 1914831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback. Sterling, yes, a return. Something I ordered to get the free shipping threshold. I’d like a similar style that was easy and versatile, but not this one. It may fit well, but I feel conspicuous in it, so not ideal. The shoulders actually are puffer on me IRL than in the pic. </p> <p>Column - here’s the find. This one I have on is a tall.</p> <p>Notice how the model has her one shoulder back and hair covering the forward shoulder? No wonder it’s hard to see specifics online. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun---i%e2%80%99ll-leave-the-puff-sleeves-for-others#post-1914816 Tue, 01 May 2018 12:02:11 +0000 RobinF 1914816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it is the most flattering on you. They do seem to broaden the shoulders visually. Cute dress though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun---i%e2%80%99ll-leave-the-puff-sleeves-for-others#post-1914813 Tue, 01 May 2018 11:59:07 +0000 Anonymous 1914813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really cute dress. I don’t even notice the puff sleeve. It just looks like some tiny pleats. This dress hangs really well on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun---i%e2%80%99ll-leave-the-puff-sleeves-for-others#post-1914812 Tue, 01 May 2018 11:57:02 +0000 Janet 1914812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, even as someone who has more than enough hip to balance out shoulders, I'm not especially a fan of puff sleeves, although the black and white stripe and overall cut keep this from looking too sweet to me. I know the angle is emphasizing the issue as well, but I admit I have seen many other outfits you've worn that I much prefer on you! :-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun---i%e2%80%99ll-leave-the-puff-sleeves-for-others#post-1914799 Tue, 01 May 2018 11:14:40 +0000 krishnidoux 1914799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Angie! 80's silhouettes may take a while to envision, but they are so stylish. And this dress really fits you so exquisitely well. I can see you wearing cute pumps or stacked heel, or platform heels with it (a little heel helps with the broad shoulder self conscious thing - signed: a broad shoulder girl).</p> <p>You may have overtrained your poison eye about taming down supposedly broad shoulders. Your shape is awesome for this silhouette. Don't throw the baby with the bathwater.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun---i%e2%80%99ll-leave-the-puff-sleeves-for-others#post-1914790 Tue, 01 May 2018 10:19:49 +0000 Staysfit 1914790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I would like it better without the stripes. The fit is good. The puff sleeves don’t bother me too much. The stripes across the shoulder line create the problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun---i%e2%80%99ll-leave-the-puff-sleeves-for-others#post-1914780 Tue, 01 May 2018 09:45:32 +0000 Column 1914780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So where can I get this dress? I need shoulders (she says seriously)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun---i%e2%80%99ll-leave-the-puff-sleeves-for-others#post-1914779 Tue, 01 May 2018 09:41:23 +0000 Toban 1914779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the same issue. This season I’ve found it hard to find tops without ruffles or shoulder embellishments, which don’t work for me. However, they are looking great on many others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun---i%e2%80%99ll-leave-the-puff-sleeves-for-others#post-1914777 Tue, 01 May 2018 09:33:48 +0000 Anonymous 1914777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This dress has so many components that I love: &nbsp;strong shoulder line, black, and stripes. &nbsp;I admit that when I first saw the WIW, the shoulder line looked extreme on you. &nbsp;I can't tell if it is the camera angle or not. &nbsp;Is it a return? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun---i%e2%80%99ll-leave-the-puff-sleeves-for-others#post-1914761 Tue, 01 May 2018 07:02:26 +0000 Gigi 1914761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad I'm not the only one who dislikes this look on herself.
