I'd love to have seen it 3 to 4 inches longer. I can't help but be a stickler for the right lengths on things. So, if you keep the dress - how about wearing it as a tunic with your leather leggings? That to me is a much better look - even on uber trendy and daring you :)</p> <p>I voted Yay if you wear it as a tunic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-306255 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 21:17:07 +0000 RoseandJoan 306255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>bump </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-305855 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 03:55:22 +0000 annagybe 305855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One more for bump for Angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-305559 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 21:11:21 +0000 Inge 305559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I voted yay, I love the colour and pattern on you, length too with your fab gams and I don't think it's overly boxy (besides boxy can be good;-). Curious to see how you are going to wear this Anna. And I really want to see the forest green dress too, sounds amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-305549 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 21:07:06 +0000 NK 305549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A nay from me. This dress doesn't seem to have any shape or structure to my eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-305541 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 21:02:46 +0000 Sihaya 305541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A nay from me. The fabric is gorgeous. The length and the profile pic seem to not work so well at least to my eyes. If you keep it, I wonder if you could pair with skinnies or black skinny ponte knits? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-305501 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 20:20:10 +0000 catgirl 305501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything about the dress except for the cut of the shoulders, which is making it look squared-off and boxy but not in a good way to my eye. So I vote nay. But this length is fab on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-305491 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 20:00:36 +0000 Marley 305491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the pattern - love the length on you because of your fab legs - and I love the charcoal ruffle sleeves. But there is something about the fit that seems "off" to me and I'm just not sure what it is! I think that I am going to vote Nay on this because of that unknown factor! I think you could do better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-305287 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 08:28:56 +0000 Sally 305287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it would look great with boots and tights so yay from me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-305275 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 07:48:35 +0000 AJ 305275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My initial reaction was that the dress was too "sweet" for your urban, edgy style, but I'm sure you have just the right accessories to make it more you. The fit seems good, so "yay" from me. : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-305180 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 03:06:32 +0000 Lisa 305180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote yay, I like the dress. You have great legs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-305152 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 01:28:06 +0000 afterism 305152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nay from me. It is too boxy &amp; I feel it is too short.</p> <p>The shortness may just be a personal preference but I don't like the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-305146 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 01:16:29 +0000 annagybe 305146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping for Angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-305002 Sun, 27 Feb 2011 19:25:10 +0000 RoseandJoan 305002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a good job Angie is back at some point today! How are you feeling about the dress now Anna? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-304976 Sun, 27 Feb 2011 18:53:05 +0000 Queen Mum 304976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I confess I voted nay and didn't take the time to explain myself. I apologize. I was having trouble deciding what it is that isn't working for me, but I've seen you in much better. I guess it seems too short for the style.... to me it almost looks like an overlong top. I also think it doesnt' fit you all that great. It seems snug around the upper thigh area and does nothing to flatter your bustline and torso area. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-304973 Sun, 27 Feb 2011 18:48:15 +0000 Patty 304973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the length on you but I don't like what it does to 'the girls'--looking a little held down.<br /> (I didn't vote-just sayin') </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-304925 Sun, 27 Feb 2011 18:10:34 +0000 Lori 304925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the print is gorgeous! However, the dress isn't terribly flattering, with the exception of showing off your killer legs. IMO it is not a 10. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-304919 Sun, 27 Feb 2011 17:57:30 +0000 Maya 304919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is why I wasn't a fan of the yay or nay feature for things like this. The anonymity irks me. It's good for people to be honest, but then to not give a reason is, IMO, a copout.</p> <p>I agree with Julie: The nays probably have to do with the length. I find most ladies around here are extremely strict about length. But I see no reason why you should be. You do not have a lifestyle that requires a more conservative look, and you have fab legs, so why not make the most of it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-304891 Sun, 27 Feb 2011 16:25:29 +0000 Anonymous 304891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will be the Lone Ranger and vote nay. You look so amazing in the gray DVF, and compared to that this looks so boxy to me. Your legs are definitely in the Tina Turner league, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-304845 Sun, 27 Feb 2011 12:35:13 +0000 Lynne 304845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>gorgeous. I vote keep and post many wiws </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-304832 Sun, 27 Feb 2011 11:13:39 +0000 RoseandJoan 304832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A yay from me Anna, I'm guessing the nays may be due to the shorter length but you have great legs and the higher neckline allows for a shorter length IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-304817 Sun, 27 Feb 2011 09:06:48 +0000 CocoLion 304817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another Yay from me. I don't have a problem with high heels and short dresses, I got really used to the look living in LA where more skin and more leg is always better.</p> <p>Flats would look too girly precious to me. So maybe something in between, like a nice 2-3". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-304805 Sun, 27 Feb 2011 06:52:55 +0000 annagybe 304805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Weird more nays than yays in the tally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-304667 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 23:28:42 +0000 Jenava 304667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is gorgeous. Love the print and the sleeve detail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-304663 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 23:25:40 +0000 Jonesy 304663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely loooove this dress! It looks wonderful on you. I love this designer--I have stalked the label ever since I saw a dress in Lucky that I fell in love with, years ago. I'm glad I can live vicariously through you, Anna :).</p> <p>ETA: I think I originally voiced my opinion here but didn't vote yay (still getting used to the whole voting thing). Now I have voted. Re. the length of the dress: I guess I was imagining it with leggings or dark tights, rather than bare legs, since you tend to wear lots of layered looks and tunics-with-leggings looks. So I didn't even think about the shortness factor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-304600 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 22:11:56 +0000 rute 304600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Maya.. shorter dresses go well with lower heel.<br /> I have to say that you have FAB legs!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-304597 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 21:59:55 +0000 Mo 304597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a very ladlylike look on you - and I really like it! But I agree that maybe not with the pumps. You have such a great collection of funky shoes you could pair it with that would bring your unique style to it.</p> <p>EDIT: just saw your shoe comment. Keep the dress, change the shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-304596 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 21:59:55 +0000 annagybe 304596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have chunkier heels, just threw those on as opposed to the red knee high socks I am wearing right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-304593 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 21:56:24 +0000 Maya 304593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it but not with the pumps. I think a shorter hemline works better with a lower or flatter heel. Not even for modesty reasons, it just looks more balanced to my eye. Maybe a chunkier heel could work too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-blue-dress#post-304583 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 21:36:00 +0000 kellygirl 304583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks fab with the pumps and you have lovely legs! Great color, too. I really like it--does it pass the sit test?</p> <p>ETA: Voted yay </p>
