Fingers crossed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-asymmetrical-smock#post-645575 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 04:23:16 +0000 fashionista 645575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think without pants, its not defined well. Put on some leggings and it would look nice and summery cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-asymmetrical-smock#post-645573 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 04:20:07 +0000 AJ 645573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As my wise little DD once said to me, "Mom, it sure seems like you're going through a lot to make it work."</p> <p>Not FAB enough for you, IK.</p> <p>The fashion machine will always turns out something else that you will like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-asymmetrical-smock#post-645567 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 04:14:23 +0000 Fuchsia_pink 645567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>umm...won't it work? how about a woven belt, turquoise jewellery and leggings, or even shorts. i kinda like it, its seems like the perfect blank canvas to load on with accessories and statement pieces. it seems perfect for summer </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-asymmetrical-smock#post-645236 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 20:22:19 +0000 jayne 645236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>layer it under something? white on white? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-asymmetrical-smock#post-645212 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 20:01:49 +0000 biscuitsmom 645212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd leave the tags on, bring it to the tailor and see what could be done. If it's too much or you dont think it'd work, return and wait for something fab. I would let the mgr/owner know you are not pleased with the deceptive pic... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-asymmetrical-smock#post-645107 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 17:38:02 +0000 ironkurtin 645107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sigh. I keep trying to think what could make this work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-asymmetrical-smock#post-645097 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 17:28:38 +0000 Lori 645097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Return - not nearly fab enough for you. The pic of the model in the dress and the "real" thing are so completely different, it looks like a whole other item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-asymmetrical-smock#post-645093 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 17:25:40 +0000 Janet 645093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw the original post and didn't comment, but I was worried it might be a tricky piece. I held my tongue in hopes that I would be happily proved wrong, but it really doesn't seem to be doing anything for you that an oversized men's shirt wouldn't do. The picture does seem to be misleading, which is a big disappointment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-asymmetrical-smock#post-645070 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 16:49:00 +0000 catgirl 645070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This seemed like something you would design from the original photo, but it looks nothing like that here! What is up?! I would return - I would be very frustrated to buy something for one purpose only to relegate it to another out of remorse. See "Frye Julias" for example. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-asymmetrical-smock#post-645011 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 15:42:27 +0000 Anonymous 645011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember when you first posted the link to this. Very sneaky indeed. I think I would return and wait for a great sale. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-asymmetrical-smock#post-644982 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 15:12:37 +0000 ManidipaM 644982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suggestion if you bring it to the tailor, IK --- try adding a few pleats at the hem to turn it more tulip-shaped? You could add the pleats asymmetrically (say, left front edge and right back edge), gathering the hemline in on the diagonal. Might approximate the structure it *appeared* to have on the site. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-asymmetrical-smock#post-644973 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:54:50 +0000 rae 644973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it too big? In the pic, it looks like the buttons are supposed to wrap around the side, but I don't see that design element in your pics. Or maybe they wrapped the dress around the model to make it look better (as Angie said, sneaky!). Maybe you could get a tailor to wrap/sew it so that it looks more like the pic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-asymmetrical-smock#post-644954 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:27:21 +0000 ironkurtin 644954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I got it for half price. I have a good relationship with this designer - I was a loyal customer when it was parkvogel, then Vogel10, and now jpark. So I can return for credit and wait for a sale. Or make lemonade and see what my tailor can do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-asymmetrical-smock#post-644952 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:25:20 +0000 Angie 644952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dana, I agree - if you paid full price for this item. The photo on the model is SO sneaky. The way she is standing has added structure to the frock - which is a 100% inaccurate reflection of the shape of the dress. That makes me angry </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-asymmetrical-smock#post-644945 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:16:00 +0000 ironkurtin 644945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - Good lord, then that's the most expensive bathing suit cover in the world. No way can I only use it for that!</p> <p>They do SAY you can wear it like that, or with pants, or alone, but it isi shown alone.</p> <p><a href="http://shop.jpark.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=D501S12" rel="nofollow">http://shop.jpark.com/ProductD.....de=D501S12</a></p> <p>Maybe I could get it tailored. My other option is to return it for store credit, aka a tshirt because everything on the site is $. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-asymmetrical-smock#post-644919 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 13:53:30 +0000 Transcona Shannon 644919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooohhhh...that's a great idea Angie! Perfect IK! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-asymmetrical-smock#post-644916 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 13:51:16 +0000 Angie 644916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a killer bathing costume cover-up! I really mean it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-asymmetrical-smock#post-644914 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 13:45:58 +0000 Transcona Shannon 644914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How would you wear it IK? On it's own, I find it a bit "blah". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-asymmetrical-smock#post-644910 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 13:42:00 +0000 ManidipaM 644910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Was I misreading the photo you had posted from the site? It looked there like the placket was running asymmetrically, non? This seems like a classic case of 'item not as described'!</p> <p>That said, if it wasn't awfully expensive, I could certainly see you wearing that over leggings, skinnies or a long midi or maxi skirt even (belted in the last instance). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-asymmetrical-smock#post-644909 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 13:41:45 +0000 Abie 644909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it stands alone. It's a very interesting piece though and I'd love to see it styled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-asymmetrical-smock#post-644907 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 13:38:18 +0000 Diana 644907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, it's reading as a little grandpa's nightshirt to me, but I think that's because of the flip flops and no pants! Put on some pants, and then we'll talk. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-asymmetrical-smock#post-644906 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 13:36:52 +0000 deedee1221 644906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i am such an ametuer at giving advice as i am here to gain some, but i think it does nothing for u </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-asymmetrical-smock#post-644904 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 13:31:55 +0000 ironkurtin 644904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a ton of purchase euphoria when I ordered this, but now am not so sure. Thoughts? </p>
