I vote above the knee-cap little petite darling. </p> <p>KILLER specs, by the way. That purple is so delicious against your skin tone I can barely stand it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-garnet-hill-dress-and-bonus-tunics#post-249357 Thu, 11 Nov 2010 23:35:30 +0000 catgirl 249357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and I see you spotted the latest addition to our yard... I see a down skirt in my future, gear or not! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-garnet-hill-dress-and-bonus-tunics#post-249356 Thu, 11 Nov 2010 23:33:55 +0000 catgirl 249356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I appreciate the reality check! I often look at photos of my husband and me and wonder why he looks so tall. Um, he's 13 inches taller than me, that's why. I think I have a short girl complex and think of myself as way taller than I am. :)</p> <p>Here is the picture, though. Is this considered knee-length or above-knee?</p> <p><a href="http://www.garnethill.com/a-line-knit-shift-dress/womens-fashion/dresses/little-black-dresses/189209" rel="nofollow">http://www.garnethill.com/a-li.....ses/189209</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-garnet-hill-dress-and-bonus-tunics#post-249353 Thu, 11 Nov 2010 23:30:38 +0000 Angie 249353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Look at all the snow!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-garnet-hill-dress-and-bonus-tunics#post-249352 Thu, 11 Nov 2010 23:29:52 +0000 Angie 249352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Above the knee for sure. I'm thinking 5 inches. You are petite my dear and this is a shapeless frock </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-garnet-hill-dress-and-bonus-tunics#post-249305 Thu, 11 Nov 2010 22:23:21 +0000 catgirl 249305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! Angie, 5-7 inches? I'm thinking that would be mid-thigh on me. Is there a picture somewhere of where the hem of a dress this shape should fall? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-garnet-hill-dress-and-bonus-tunics#post-249224 Thu, 11 Nov 2010 19:56:54 +0000 Scarlet 249224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress! Very architectural! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-garnet-hill-dress-and-bonus-tunics#post-249218 Thu, 11 Nov 2010 19:42:44 +0000 Angie 249218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress!!! Chop off a good 5 to 7 inches and you are good to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-garnet-hill-dress-and-bonus-tunics#post-249153 Thu, 11 Nov 2010 18:33:46 +0000 catgirl 249153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, definitely! I bought the textured tights in this picture:</p> <p><a href="http://www.garnethill.com/a-line-knit-shift-dress/womens-fashion/dresses/little-black-dresses/189209" rel="nofollow">http://www.garnethill.com/a-li.....ses/189209</a></p> <p>I hear you on the volume. It may be one of those pieces that is better in motion.... I have to admit, I have horrible trouble with belts, maybe because of my huge shoulders and lack of waist. I prefer the pyramid/trapeze/a-line shapes even if it means surrendering the waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-garnet-hill-dress-and-bonus-tunics#post-249148 Thu, 11 Nov 2010 18:31:04 +0000 lynn 249148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all three. With #1 I would hem it a little and add a scarf. #2 is adorable with jeans and #3 would be good with a scarf or some long necklaces. Good buys! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-garnet-hill-dress-and-bonus-tunics#post-249143 Thu, 11 Nov 2010 18:30:06 +0000 catgirl 249143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not normally a plaid fan myself, but the cut of this shirt/dress appealed to me in my desperate search for longer tunic-type clothing for casual wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-garnet-hill-dress-and-bonus-tunics#post-249139 Thu, 11 Nov 2010 18:27:27 +0000 crwilson 249139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the first dress; it looks like a great basic that you could wear lots of ways. The kurta is just lovely. I don't really like plaid, much, in any configuration, so I'll leave commenting on that piece to others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-garnet-hill-dress-and-bonus-tunics#post-249135 Thu, 11 Nov 2010 18:24:15 +0000 catgirl 249135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A better picture of the plaid tunic (ignore my face!), and a close-up of the kurta! It's kind a shimmery maroon - hard to capture. The pintucking is what I love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-garnet-hill-dress-and-bonus-tunics#post-249134 Thu, 11 Nov 2010 18:21:35 +0000 April 249134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not loving the GH dress, AG -- but then I have trouble with volume so don't go by me. If you keep it, I would suggest pairing it with textured hose that have some sheerness to them instead of opaque tights. </p> <p>I like the red plaid tunic (in spite of how startling it looks with the leggings, hee hee) and I like the last dress as well. I know it's a tunic, but it's dress-length and seems like it could be worn that way? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-garnet-hill-dress-and-bonus-tunics#post-249133 Thu, 11 Nov 2010 18:19:30 +0000 Jonesy 249133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The details are sort of hard to make out, but in general, I like the first dress on you. The sleeves are nice, the neckline is nice, and the length is good. It looks like a good basic, if you like it and think you'll get lots of wear out of it. I would love to see a fab scarf around your neck, and a pair of your cool boots. I really don't get the built-in bra (?)--could you remove it? </p> <p>I like the idea of the plaid tunic, and the price can't be beat, but its oversized-ness, coupled with the cut and the plaid, adds a bit to it seeming sort of juvenile, IMHO. If you go down a size, is there still plenty of room for layering underneath? (I'm thinking you want to put a long-sleeved t under there, or a turtleneck, not a puffer coat, right? :)</p> <p>I like the kurta on you a lot, and I think it would be great with skinnies and tall boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-garnet-hill-dress-and-bonus-tunics#post-249132 Thu, 11 Nov 2010 18:18:46 +0000 Anonymous 249132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 I like although I think you might want to belt it?<br /> #2 I am not sure about as it really seems to be too big for you (but then - again - you can always belt it).<br /> #3... it is really difficult to say as I like the lenght but - again - not sure about the shape...I wonder whether or not rolling up the sleeves could make the difference? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-garnet-hill-dress-and-bonus-tunics#post-249131 Thu, 11 Nov 2010 18:18:31 +0000 catgirl 249131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Leah, the lighting is horrible in the morning. It's actually a nice pink and brown pattern. I will take a better photo now that it's later.... The jurta is cotton but it has pintuck stitching all over. Fabindia has wonderful clothes - I wish they would open stores in the US! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-garnet-hill-dress-and-bonus-tunics#post-249129 Thu, 11 Nov 2010 18:15:46 +0000 LeahJanes 249129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Garnet Hill dress does need to be shorter, but it's got that swingy shift look that I really adore.<br /> I think the plaid tunic is cute for casual wear. I don't think it's in your best colours but that also could be the lighting. Would have to see it styled the way you're going to wear it. For $10 it's pretty good though.<br /> I love the kurta. Beautiful colour and I love the way that the fabric (is it cotton or silk?) falls, structured but not harsh. The original tunic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-garnet-hill-dress-and-bonus-tunics#post-249116 Thu, 11 Nov 2010 18:04:54 +0000 catgirl 249116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, here's that black jersey Garnet Hill dress. It has an odd shelf bra that isn't really helpful, and it is very non-fitted, but very it's comfy and a much nicer material than the flimsy cotton I imagined it might be. It seems to have an Eileen Fisher aesthetic. Keep? Shorten? </p> <p>Also, here's a plaid tunic thing I picked up for $10 at the local grocery/everything store. I would not wear it with these leggings, of course, but I was too lazy to change them. It's a size big so I can wear something warm under it, and I was hoping it would have this kind of effect for $118 less:</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/dresses/day/PRDOVR~34096/99102186257/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~~~0~15~all~mode+matchallany~~~~~sundrine/34096.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/womens_ca...../34096.jsp</a></p> <p>Finally, a kurta from India (Fabindia, specifically) - this is a typical length for me and I wear it with skinnies (as well as the traditional Indian salvar/churidar). No-no? </p>
