I don't really intend to layer tops underneath the dress, but will definitely give jeggings a try. Although I think it will look better and more mod with black hose or leggings.</p> <p>Thank you so much Jonesy and Rachylou, I'm thrilled you love it.</p> <p>Kyle: No!! I'm beyond excited that I inspired you to get this dress. You're going to look stunning, of course. Fingers crossed the length will work for you.<br /> Thank you for the wonderful compliment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-maggy-london-colourblock-dress/page/2#post-441439 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 02:00:17 +0000 Kyle 441439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge, you look so fab in this that I ordered it with my birthday gift card! I am concerned about the length, but if it can be let down I may be OK. There is a strong simplicity about this that I like a lot...it has a bit of a 60s vibe, I think -- perfect with your haircut. Una, would love to see you in this, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-maggy-london-colourblock-dress/page/2#post-441357 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 00:55:05 +0000 Jonesy 441357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late here too, but I had to chime in and say how delightfully fab you look in this dress! Really gorgeous, like it was made for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-maggy-london-colourblock-dress/page/2#post-441315 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 00:08:57 +0000 rachylou 441315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late the the party, but the dress rocks it (!!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-maggy-london-colourblock-dress/page/2#post-441030 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 17:11:17 +0000 Inge 441030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lynne! *happy smile*<br /> I wore "our" trench coat today, I do love it so;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-maggy-london-colourblock-dress/page/2#post-441028 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 17:08:33 +0000 Lynne 441028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad the vote is unanimous, Inge! Two thumbs up form here :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-maggy-london-colourblock-dress/page/2#post-441012 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 16:28:22 +0000 Inge 441012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah: Extra feedback is always welcome;-) Thank you. Those scarves just make me smile...</p> <p>San: You're spot on about the feel and fit of this dress. I'll definitely be thinking of you, Kim and Isis everytime I wear it! I'm blushing here, San, you've no idea how inspired I am each time you post an outfit!! I'm about 5'9 and I hear you on the length. I wouldn't have mind it a bit longer either. Definitely try letting it out if you know you'll wear it more often that way.</p> <p>Una: I'm definitely still getting used to the feeling, and I am totally in favour of some extra leeway whenever possible too. I'm hoping I'll be alright in this dress on those days. It really is the most substantial and sturdy ponte knit I have ever seen. It's not Spanx of course, but it definitely holds you in a little bit. Give it a try if you like the style for you.</p> <p>Vani: Thank you!!</p> <p>Angie: You bet I am! probably the rest of the week too;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-maggy-london-colourblock-dress/page/2#post-440992 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 15:57:46 +0000 Angie 440992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope that you are walking on clouds today, Inge </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-maggy-london-colourblock-dress/page/2#post-440919 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 13:01:24 +0000 Vani 440919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY! This looks gorgeous on you Inge, so fun yet so classy. Those scarves will look gorgeous paired with the dress. From the pictures I cannot discern any snugness at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-maggy-london-colourblock-dress/page/2#post-440857 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 05:39:27 +0000 catgirl 440857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks absolutely beautiful on you and I hope you will keep it. You look SO elegant and current at the same time! </p> <p>In this vein, and not in any way reflecting on how you look, I'm curious to know how you feel about wearing something more fitted. It's just so out of my comfort zone. Every now and then I will try on a fitted dress like this one, and although (RARELY), one might actually look good, I still can't bring myself to purchase, because I can't handle not having a little leeway on days when I can't suck it all in or just don't feel all that confident.</p> <p>I need your posture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-maggy-london-colourblock-dress/page/2#post-440852 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 05:32:46 +0000 san 440852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love seeing this dress on you Inge, it's perfection. As you know it's a fav of mine and it suits you so well and fits beautifully. Please keep.<br /> My feeling about the fit of this dress is that it is snug in the bodice and arms, but gives a nice enhancment to the curve of the hips. It's a fun dress and I love a good colorblock, this is a good one. I am contemplating taking down the hem since I am 57 but the length looks wonderful on you, and I like it with the boots. I am 5'8" how tall are you?<br /> I love your style and wear the same cool colors as you so you are a very definate style inspiration to me Inge.<br /> Now I want to go and search to see Q Mum and Isis wearing this colorblock dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-maggy-london-colourblock-dress/page/2#post-440722 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 01:44:42 +0000 Deborah 440722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I realize your decision has been made but I wanted to add how fab this dress looks on you. Glad you are keeping. Can't wait to see you in the colored scarves too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-maggy-london-colourblock-dress/page/2#post-440607 Sun, 09 Oct 2011 22:22:19 +0000 Inge 440607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, looks like the vote is unanimous. Thank you everyone for chiming in. I'm keeping it!</p> <p>Isis: Off to look at your dress now;-)</p> <p>MNSara: I really think you need it too!-)</p> <p>Anya: Great suggestion, I have a pair of grey tights I want to try with the dress asap.</p> <p>Laura &amp; Heather: I think that's exactly it: the fabric is quite substantial (love it), and the style a little more body-conscious than my other dresses, so it took me a little time to get used to the look and feel. It is comfortable, even when sitting down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-maggy-london-colourblock-dress#post-440586 Sun, 09 Oct 2011 21:07:59 +0000 Heather 440586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge! My word, Lady! This color block frock is so perfect! I don't see snug or tight in the photos. Did it pass the sit test with comfort? Perhaps you aren't used to wearing this type of frock? It should be your new go-to! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-maggy-london-colourblock-dress#post-440583 Sun, 09 Oct 2011 21:05:27 +0000 morethanbeige 440583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous on you! Definite Keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-maggy-london-colourblock-dress#post-440578 Sun, 09 Oct 2011 20:50:48 +0000 Anonymous 440578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep! Perfect fit and lovely mod. If you want forever to bond it with tights, to break of the black tight route, you can always pair it with gray , cobalt or other bright tights for a even more mod look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-maggy-london-colourblock-dress#post-440573 Sun, 09 Oct 2011 20:40:58 +0000 Janet 440573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge, I don't think it looks tight at all. It looks great! Popular item here, and I can see why! I love the style and the colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-maggy-london-colourblock-dress#post-440572 Sun, 09 Oct 2011 20:36:47 +0000 Anonymous 440572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it look just terrific on you Inge! Maybe you can layer over instead of under if it's too close fitting to put a blouse or turtleneck under....was that what you were concerned about? Or were you thinking of wearing it over pants instead of just leggings? The colors are beautiful and the fit is divine. </p> <p>And I love the scarves! I am really a scarf girl, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-maggy-london-colourblock-dress#post-440567 Sun, 09 Oct 2011 20:30:07 +0000 kellygirl 440567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this, Inge!

Kepp it! I love the colorblocking with those dark, rich colors. The sizing looks very nice on you too - following your curves but no binding anywhere.</p> <p>Very striking in a good way :-)</p> <p>(. . . off to check my Nordies cart - between you/Isis/San/QM, I think this is becoming a winter necessity </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-maggy-london-colourblock-dress#post-440518 Sun, 09 Oct 2011 18:13:02 +0000 DressLover 440518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand that it can feel tight, but I assure you it doesn't look tight. Definitely a keeper! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-maggy-london-colourblock-dress#post-440512 Sun, 09 Oct 2011 17:58:18 +0000 rute 440512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>do you have doubts???<br /> Keep it!

If it feels good, and it fits your lifestyle. It definitely looks great!<br /> Funny thing, I logged on to post a similar question about the same dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-maggy-london-colourblock-dress#post-440459 Sun, 09 Oct 2011 15:30:50 +0000 goldenpig 440459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like a perfect fit and looks great on you...I would keep it as long as you are comfortable wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-maggy-london-colourblock-dress#post-440456 Sun, 09 Oct 2011 15:18:48 +0000 AJ 440456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I'm on the fence about something, I close my eyes and determine whether it feels like a keeper. (Learned that from Michelle.)</p> <p>So if the fit feels great, then keep because it certainly looks good on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-maggy-london-colourblock-dress#post-440453 Sun, 09 Oct 2011 15:09:30 +0000 Kristine 440453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!!
