I say chop as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ka-summer-dress-and-jacket#post-2185576 Fri, 09 Apr 2021 04:06:44 +0000 DonnaF 2185576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, chop! Looking at the pattern, would you do it more tunic length and enable in-seam pockets? Or would you chop to the next pattern up to make it more conventional top length?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ka-summer-dress-and-jacket#post-2185174 Wed, 07 Apr 2021 17:15:19 +0000 Helena 2185174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to a hack, and YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ka-summer-dress-and-jacket#post-2185151 Wed, 07 Apr 2021 14:53:15 +0000 Sheila 2185151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it better as a top. I think you will get more use of it that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ka-summer-dress-and-jacket#post-2185120 Wed, 07 Apr 2021 13:15:44 +0000 RobinF 2185120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote chop. I love it as a dress but if you aren't wearing it that way then go for the chop.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ka-summer-dress-and-jacket#post-2185118 Wed, 07 Apr 2021 13:12:04 +0000 unfrumped 2185118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the tucked - in outfit. Those are great proportions on you and everything fits in a very nice easy way. . The neckline is great, and the black&amp; white in the print are fab with the jacket and jeans and black accessories. As a top, that is an outfit I’d wear over and over and feel good in- it tucks really well.<br /> Chop- chop! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ka-summer-dress-and-jacket#post-2185114 Wed, 07 Apr 2021 12:40:30 +0000 Star (Lise) 2185114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it as is with the jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ka-summer-dress-and-jacket#post-2185108 Wed, 07 Apr 2021 11:57:28 +0000 Brooklyn 2185108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chop. Chop!</p> <p>What a pretty pattern.</p> <p>Another option, as it looks like it’s loose enough, is to chop it horizontally just below the armholes and turn it into a midi skirt with an elastic waist. Just depends what you would find more useful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ka-summer-dress-and-jacket#post-2185105 Wed, 07 Apr 2021 11:54:15 +0000 fin42 2185105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer it as a top but maybe before you go for the chop a belt on around it to give it some more shape? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ka-summer-dress-and-jacket#post-2185103 Wed, 07 Apr 2021 11:53:00 +0000 notsaf 2185103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed: great jacket and clever save! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ka-summer-dress-and-jacket#post-2185099 Wed, 07 Apr 2021 11:14:05 +0000 Karie 2185099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Turn it into a top! It looks nice as a dress, but I like it best as a top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ka-summer-dress-and-jacket#post-2185029 Wed, 07 Apr 2021 02:57:41 +0000 rachylou 2185029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will go with the crowd and say chop - it’s a cute top! Looks great with the white jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ka-summer-dress-and-jacket#post-2185028 Wed, 07 Apr 2021 02:44:33 +0000 Jaime 2185028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say chop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ka-summer-dress-and-jacket#post-2184987 Tue, 06 Apr 2021 22:46:14 +0000 Sloper 2184987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also adding - I think what I'm also really liking is the collared jacket - the collar is flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ka-summer-dress-and-jacket#post-2184950 Tue, 06 Apr 2021 21:25:16 +0000 Angie 2184950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote to hack to a top.

It's modest enough, but I'm not sure I like the length without something under it.</p> <p>Second - it doesn't have pockets, so when worn over jeans (like here), it makes the jeans pockets hard to access without offering any alternative.</p> <p>Otherwise, it's a nice summer weight performance fabric, and is comfortable to wear, and I still like the pattern.&nbsp; It's a bit bunchy to tuck in (see pic #3).&nbsp; Should I give it the chop?&nbsp; (Or perhaps I should add pockets instead?)</p> <p>Also auditioning a white summer jacket.&nbsp; Does it work? </p>
