I like it with the leather vest though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress/page/2#post-324505 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 15:01:05 +0000 Angie 324505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My wrist was sore so I couldn't type a full response yesterday.</p> <p>I like the dress with the jacket - which seems a waste to me, which is why I voted nay. I just feel you can do better, Anna. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress/page/2#post-324500 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 14:54:33 +0000 Sarah 324500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it even more with the black toppers. And no jokes from me today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324494 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 14:45:45 +0000 rae 324494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rats, the jackets don't seem to weigh down the ruffles enough for me. Sorry, I'm still a nay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324455 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 09:59:20 +0000 Lyrebirdgully 324455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Anna,<br /> I too fell in love with tiered chiffon ruffles and bought a top very much like your frock.<br /> The main problem I found was the way the all-over ruffles completely camouflaged my curves, what little I have. My small bust and my waistline totally disappeared under the fluffage, so unfortunately this adorable garment made me feel childlike. I ended up cutting it up into a long ruffled scarf.<br /> Ruffles are awesome --but for most people they seem to work best as a strategically placed trim or accent. Ruffles in the right place can work magic with your proportions. Hold out for a garment with those figure -enhancing placements -- your dream ruffle frock is still out there, somewhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324406 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 03:27:45 +0000 Janet 324406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I refrained from chiming in when it was first posted, and I didn't love it then. I love it even less now. Sorry, Anna! I love the outfits you've worn, but this doesn't do you justice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324402 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 03:21:02 +0000 Reneeb 324402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote Nay. It's a little poofy to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324386 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 03:00:39 +0000 Angie 324386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote return. Not your best, Anna. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324377 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 02:53:53 +0000 afterism 324377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I voted NAY.</p> <p>It's just an unflattering dress. Not only do you lose your waist but it actually makes you look bigger all over. </p> <p>The shoes however - LOVE. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324364 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 02:42:02 +0000 Shauntelle 324364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't like this one. It's definitely an interesting dress but do you really want people coming up to you saying "what an interesting dress" whenever you wear it? Everything I've seen you in up until now has been just YOU... like, if I saw you on the street I'd just think, wow, that's a fabulous woman... if I saw you in this I'd think... well that's an interesting dress. I think you can do better (although, I will say it looks better with the vests and jackets giving it a little more structure). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324316 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 00:57:40 +0000 Jonesy 324316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a very big statement, but I think it's fascinating and it looks way cool with your black toppers (jackets, vests) and black heels. The cascading ruffles juxtaposed with the severity and structure of the jackets is just really awesome. Be prepared for people to want to touch it if you wear it out :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324256 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 23:56:07 +0000 bella 324256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't like it at all in the first round of pictures but I think it looks fantastic with all the toppers in the second row. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324223 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 22:19:38 +0000 catgirl 324223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I liked the idea of it, but unfortunately it looks a little like an underwater sea creature has attacked you. Spit out our Anna!</p> <p>I really wanted to love this but I can't imagine it looking good or even "unflattering but couture" on anyone. It's just kind of strange... I love that you are such a risk-taker though, and am trying to follow your lead more.</p> <p>Sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324218 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 22:10:28 +0000 Mo 324218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Made me giggle, too! I didn't vote on the first round, but didn't care for the overload of ruffles then, either. A little goes a long way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324216 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 22:04:30 +0000 annagybe 324216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK Modgrl's comment cracked me up. As usual I seem to choose decisive clothing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324183 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 21:25:11 +0000 Isis 324183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! Very different! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324170 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 20:56:13 +0000 Lisette 324170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In bare feet, I thought no but the heels really do make it work much better. I think it looks okay, not great but okay, but if you feel like a big poufy... then are you really going to wear it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324155 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 20:24:44 +0000 Laura 324155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The heels work to bookend the black straps perfectly. I like it!<br /> Ruffles and I are currently on hiatus, but your fab new dress is making me reconsider </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324152 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 20:20:06 +0000 taylor 324152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is just quirky enough to make me like it...A dress with this much going on must be styled perfectly...see what other ways might work...some ladies suggested a blazer...try that first:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324148 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 20:14:17 +0000 RoseandJoan 324148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the front view but I'm not sure from the side. Is this how it would be styled? I think I would love it layered, perhaps with a black leather belt or maybe your leather harness. I think it still needs a little of Anna's trademark toughness so I will reserve my judgement for now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324134 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 19:48:03 +0000 nancylee 324134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. I don't think so. If you could chop off the bottom and just wear it as a ruffled top with great jeans it might be a cute look. As is, I think it's just too much ruffle-age. You would probably get a lot of comments like: "Wow, what an interesting dress." And we all know what that means! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324124 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 19:30:54 +0000 modgrl 324124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna You look like a head of lettuce. Pls send it back. You are too fab for this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324113 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 19:03:48 +0000 tracy 324113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is a little to fluffy from the front. Love the look of the back though. Killer shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324109 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 18:57:08 +0000 Irene 324109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it works for you. Ruffle dresses are quite difficult to sport, but I'm sure you can change it for something that looks a lot better on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324089 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 18:22:42 +0000 Scarlet 324089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I voted nay on the dress in the first place because I don't see how the construction of the front relates to the back BUT seeing this on you I actually like it. I am also curious how it would look with a sharp blazer. I think the ruffles are interesting and not floufy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324083 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 18:09:59 +0000 Diana 324083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I voted nay. Not crazy about it and I think there may be just too much ruffliness going on there. I also don't love the black straps - it would be better strapless, I think (although goodness knows how it would stay up then!).</p> <p>You might be able to offset the poofiness with something strong-shouldered though... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324079 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 18:03:45 +0000 thimblelina 324079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems like a lot going on in every direction in these photos... but I'm no expert. I would say go with your gut. Because really who needs a "problem" dress to which one must cater in every way just to wear? I always end up resenting those sorts of wardrobe items... L </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324078 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 18:03:23 +0000 rae 324078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you found it in your size! Something looks off to me, though. Would you wear with a jacket, by any chance? That might help decrease some poof around the middle. The poofiness wouldn't be that bad if it were mini length, but I don't think you can shorten without losing the cool color on the bottom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-dvf-ruffle-dress#post-324072 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 17:45:04 +0000 Lori 324072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I admit I was on Team "Get It Now" when you first posted it, but it definitely looks poofier (is that word?!?!) in real life than it did online. Not worth taking up space in your wonderful closet, especially if you don't feel absolutely fab in it. </p>
