Everybody wear pencil! A-line looks much softer and nicer, plus it's original. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-suz-made-me-do-itkeep-alter-or-return#post-482366 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 19:19:23 +0000 rachylou 482366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie said about length and no tapering. I didn't like it until I saw the second pic. What is this dress btw? I mean store/brand? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-suz-made-me-do-itkeep-alter-or-return#post-482169 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 15:37:49 +0000 Vix 482169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Celia --</p> <p>Pretty dress on you! I</p> <p>I'll agree with all the diverse opinion, ha -- I'd try shortening the A-line version (pinning or binder clipping it up bit by bit, per Sveta's advice) or thinking about doing a less extreme taper (TBD length after you experiment).</p> <p>Let us know what you decide...I love a good reveal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-suz-made-me-do-itkeep-alter-or-return#post-482065 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 12:08:59 +0000 Erin 482065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is so much fun. I love it on you and I was in a Cassis the next weekend and tried it on too!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-suz-made-me-do-itkeep-alter-or-return#post-481133 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 03:48:03 +0000 JennyAnne 481133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh I like it just as it is! Lovely </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-suz-made-me-do-itkeep-alter-or-return#post-481112 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 03:13:13 +0000 Anonymous 481112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool! that way all three of you will have a slightly different version of the dress! I think the colors are lovely on you and can't wait to see it altered and with a heel. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-suz-made-me-do-itkeep-alter-or-return#post-481033 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 01:43:53 +0000 anne 481033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - I thought the same as Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-suz-made-me-do-itkeep-alter-or-return#post-481020 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 01:20:20 +0000 Suz 481020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY!!!!! I'm so glad you went for it. It is going to be GORGEOUS with your colouring and your beautiful eyes. Those of you who have not had the pleasure of meeting Celia in person just cannot understand what beautiful eyes she has!! This dress will make them glow. </p> <p>I love the idea of shortening it a touch and leaving it A line. It is an easier alteration, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-suz-made-me-do-itkeep-alter-or-return#post-480996 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 00:29:00 +0000 Sveta 480996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, it is nice to know that sometimes I can be right!:-)<br /> Celia, I think you should keep midi length but shorten it a bit - maybe just below the knee cap. I would suggest to pin it on different lengths - like 1 inch at a time, take pictures and then look at them together. You should be able to spot the "sweet' length and if you have doubts - we are here! Just remember to take pictures with some heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-suz-made-me-do-itkeep-alter-or-return#post-480958 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 23:14:43 +0000 Deborah 480958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Celia, you look gorgeous in this dress. I think that its really a matter of your personal preference as both silhouettes look lovely on you. I personally don't enjoy an Aline skirt on myself, but you wear it well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-suz-made-me-do-itkeep-alter-or-return#post-480953 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 23:03:41 +0000 celia 480953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>sorry, had to log off for a couple of hours.<br /> I am happy that you like it because it is a very comfortable and interesting shape sweater dress.<br /> @Kari - my husband's take is that it looks nice.I think what made it dismiss it the first time was the fact that it was still early fall and his eyes were not adjusted to winter fabrics and darker colors.</p> <p>@Sveta and Angie my first impulse was to shorten it but I was wondering about the new midi looks.<br /> As always your opinion is invaluable.Thank you all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-suz-made-me-do-itkeep-alter-or-return#post-480931 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 22:35:29 +0000 Angie 480931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five, Sveta! We are on the same wavelength with this dress on lovely Celia. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-suz-made-me-do-itkeep-alter-or-return#post-480930 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 22:34:27 +0000 Angie 480930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to be a complete spanner. I vote NO tapering, but just a little shortening, Celia. Add the heels and you are good to go.</p> <p>It's going to look as killer on you as it does on Suz and Kari </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-suz-made-me-do-itkeep-alter-or-return#post-480925 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 22:23:28 +0000 Sveta 480925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, now I just have to drive to Toronto, go to Cassis and buy the same dress:-)<br /> Try it with the heels - they make all the difference. I like A-line on you but maybe a bit shorter. If you go with the pencil I would not make it very tapered but a bit closer to straight skirt with slight tapering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-suz-made-me-do-itkeep-alter-or-return#post-480903 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 21:42:26 +0000 Scarlet 480903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's great. I wouldn't taper but maybe shorten slightly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-suz-made-me-do-itkeep-alter-or-return#post-480894 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 21:36:01 +0000 Adelfa 480894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree it's a little hard to judge with bare legs and feet. My sense is that heels would really make this look, either one. Could you tolerate a 2" heel? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-suz-made-me-do-itkeep-alter-or-return#post-480837 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 20:30:24 +0000 Kari 480837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BTW: what is your husband's take on it? He seems to have a great eye! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-suz-made-me-do-itkeep-alter-or-return#post-480834 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 20:24:35 +0000 Sara L. 480834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first picture with the tapered skirt better. I think it's a little more modern silhouette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-suz-made-me-do-itkeep-alter-or-return#post-480824 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 20:10:18 +0000 Kari 480824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the pencil silhouette on you! Such a gorgeous dress. in the more tapered shape I actually like the length as is. </p> <p>I'm very glad you tried it again after all! Now I'll really always think of you and Suz whenever I wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-suz-made-me-do-itkeep-alter-or-return#post-480811 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 19:24:42 +0000 bj1111 480811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you rock the pencil. short a bit also so we can see the curve at the top of the calf </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-suz-made-me-do-itkeep-alter-or-return#post-480806 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 19:04:47 +0000 teri 480806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>pencil skirt all the way.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-suz-made-me-do-itkeep-alter-or-return#post-480794 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 18:38:16 +0000 celia 480794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thank you for your input. the idea of tapering was more in line with Angie's advice to wear more tapered dresses if you are not so tall but want to wear the midi trend.<br /> I also wouldn't be wearing it with very high heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-suz-made-me-do-itkeep-alter-or-return#post-480791 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 18:34:25 +0000 Midwest Girl 480791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dress, and I like it both ways. Some tapering might be a good idea, but I'd first need to see you wearing it with heels before I could say for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-suz-made-me-do-itkeep-alter-or-return#post-480786 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 18:32:15 +0000 mm88 480786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm no pro at certain areas of fashion but dresses/skirts are definitely my thing. I would say keep and hem it to just above knee to show some leg. It is otherwise quite flattering on your figure. Nice pick! :)</p> <p>As for pencil or A line - personally, I would go for pencil because that's just how I roll. But in your case, both could work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-suz-made-me-do-itkeep-alter-or-return#post-480775 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 18:22:56 +0000 celia 480775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A girl can just take so much of it.That is why after seeing Kari &amp; Suz rocking the dress i had to try one myself.<br /> If you truly hate it I will return it.Otherwise I will keep it.If so, do you think i should taper it a little bit?<br /> Thanks for looking. </p>
