I would consign it and get something more sophisticated that is flattering for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-consign-michael-kors-party-dress#post-377808 Sun, 03 Jul 2011 17:42:59 +0000 san 377808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote to consign because the top of the dress looks sort of like a t shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-consign-michael-kors-party-dress#post-377805 Sun, 03 Jul 2011 17:38:33 +0000 chewyspaghetti 377805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the skirt part, so I'd find some way to re-work that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-consign-michael-kors-party-dress#post-377800 Sun, 03 Jul 2011 17:32:29 +0000 Marley 377800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd keep and wear it something like Jonesy's version - unexpected and totally NOT what you bought it for. Fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-consign-michael-kors-party-dress#post-377791 Sun, 03 Jul 2011 17:13:31 +0000 Kari 377791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote to consign because you have many dresses that are more "you" and are a more flattering shape on your pretty bod. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-consign-michael-kors-party-dress#post-377643 Sun, 03 Jul 2011 03:32:21 +0000 rae 377643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I envisioned an outfit like Jonesy's, but if you haven't worn it, then it may just be that you don't love it enough to keep it. :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-consign-michael-kors-party-dress#post-377602 Sun, 03 Jul 2011 00:58:48 +0000 Janet 377602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a cute dress (and I'm not even a fan of bubble hems), and it's almost there, mainly because your legs look smokin' hot, but I'm another one who doesn't love what it's doing to your waist. I'd let it go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-consign-michael-kors-party-dress#post-377574 Sun, 03 Jul 2011 00:22:49 +0000 Jonesy 377574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Call me crazy, but I see this dress as a daytime layering piece, with a fitted black jacket over it, some black tights, and tough black boots or booties. I think that could be cool, and the jacket would mitigate the waistline situation. But Una, if you're not feeling it, you're not feeling it, so consign away!</p> <p>ETA: I suppose it's *possible* that a bubble-skirted dress might not be appropriate for your day job, or for a weekend at your cabin, but there might be other daytime possibilities for this little number, with the right layers over it, at least in my imagination :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-consign-michael-kors-party-dress#post-377561 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 23:36:44 +0000 annagybe 377561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote consign as well, mostly due to the waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-consign-michael-kors-party-dress#post-377557 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 23:29:28 +0000 Kate 377557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Consign. You've never worn it, it doesn't scream Una the way that many of your killer pieces do, and the waistline isn't the best placement for you. Realistically, you're never going to have the perfect event for this dress - you'll always have something that's more you and more flattering in your closet, and this dress will stay a orphan. Be done with it and move on to the items you truly LOVE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-consign-michael-kors-party-dress#post-377549 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 23:10:20 +0000 D'Ellen 377549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's adorable on you! I'm not fashion savvy enough to know if the bubble is dated, but I don't think the dress would be nearly as cute without it. If it doesn't fit with your current vibe though, consign and let someone else enjoy the bubble. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-consign-michael-kors-party-dress#post-377546 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 23:08:23 +0000 Ornella 377546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this dress on you just as it is.</p> <p>Take my words with a pinch of salt because I don't have e.g. Aida's imagination or Denise's analytical skills for anyone but my own styling challenges, but I have a feeling if you'd de-bubble this skirt it would lose the very characteristic that creates the sense of equal proportions between upper and lower half of your body. Plus, it is the bubble that is so interesting and makes this dress special.</p> <p>This is very girly look on you, but not saccharine-girly and I totally agree with Mo that studded belt would be a great option to explore.</p> <p>On a separate note, I just love these shoes on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-consign-michael-kors-party-dress#post-377544 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 23:06:23 +0000 Jjsloane 377544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that it's a more modern color and pattern, and your legs look amazing (as usual) but it doesn't do much for your waist. I don't think it looks dated (are there pockets? I love that) Maybe if you gussy up the top with something? If you can get some $ for it to buy something else you like better I'd go for it, or hang on for a bit and see if an occasion presents itself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-consign-michael-kors-party-dress#post-377540 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 23:03:43 +0000 Angie 377540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote consign. The broad cut-line across the middle is not your best look, Una. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-consign-michael-kors-party-dress#post-377536 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 23:01:11 +0000 lyn* 377536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I dunno; I feel I've seen you wear things that are more versatile and fun! The bubble doesn't seem to be very you. I vote nay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-consign-michael-kors-party-dress#post-377530 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 22:50:44 +0000 Queen Mum 377530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like it.. it really shows off your fab legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-consign-michael-kors-party-dress#post-377458 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 19:59:03 +0000 Mo 377458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, that's what mine had! Now the underslip is about 4 inches shorter than the dress, but I don't mind. Granted, I ended up with an asymmetrical hem when I 'popped' it so you might not know what you're going to get . . . Do you not like the bubble or just thinking it's getting dated? I think your studded black belt might put a little Una spin on this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-consign-michael-kors-party-dress#post-377455 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 19:55:39 +0000 catgirl 377455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bubble can't be popped (I don't think so anyway...) It has an underslip with an elastic bottom hem to keep it in place - but I could find out from my tailor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-consign-michael-kors-party-dress#post-377454 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 19:54:46 +0000 HeleenH 377454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder how it would look without the bubble. I think it would be a more flattering shilouette. I guess it is too expensive to give it a try? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-consign-michael-kors-party-dress#post-377451 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 19:51:01 +0000 Anonymous 377451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have an useful reply, but i just wanted to thank you. I now learned the difference between tulip and bubble. I confused the terms. I have a tulip and would call it bubble and people would give me weird stares. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-consign-michael-kors-party-dress#post-377449 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 19:41:30 +0000 RoseandJoan 377449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After Mo's success with the red dress could you try popping the bubble? It may become a little more versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-consign-michael-kors-party-dress#post-377446 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 19:38:49 +0000 Scarlet 377446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to pet your kitty.<br /> Tough call. This is a cute dress, but since you are trying to tighten up your style, how do you think it fits in with your vision? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-consign-michael-kors-party-dress#post-377441 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 19:24:23 +0000 Mo 377441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep - I think you could still get plenty of use out of it!

Oh, the shame. </p> <p>Is it dated with the bubble hem? Too short? Too young? Should I hold onto it for winter parties and holiday events or consign it?</p> <p>Yay: Keep, it will be useful<br /> Nay: Dump it </p>
