I would probably pick between 2 or 3 since they are so similar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-summer-dress-edition-part-i#post-345069 Fri, 06 May 2011 01:13:43 +0000 Angie 345069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #5 the best! Super cut on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-summer-dress-edition-part-i#post-344955 Thu, 05 May 2011 20:55:13 +0000 AGirlWithStyle 344955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all except 3. I don't love the fit. 1 is pretty, but I like the other ones better. I like the buckle detail on 2 and the keyhole detail in 4. I really like 5 as well. The colors are very pretty. All three would be nice for a business casual office with dressier heels and maybe a cardi depending on your office environment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-summer-dress-edition-part-i#post-344934 Thu, 05 May 2011 20:17:52 +0000 Sylvie 344934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dresses *are* quite similar but in this case, it's intentional. It would be nice if I could find a better range of colors in the machine washable, fits well, no iron category of dress. I'm shortwaisted so I often end up in empire waist dresses.</p> <p>Dress #1 is navy and white, and I often style it for winterwear with blue/brown accessories.<br /> Dress #2 has the buckled detail and is black and white.<br /> Dress #3 should probably be axed. I was lukewarm about it due to color/fit anyway.<br /> Dress #4 has pink details but if you feel it's too similar to #2, I will consider returning. They have it in an orange as well but I already have an orange dress.</p> <p>Kezayia, thanks for the suggestion on clips. I could really use them - do you have a link or a product name I could search for? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-summer-dress-edition-part-i#post-344920 Thu, 05 May 2011 19:57:23 +0000 Kezayia 344920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sylvie</p> <p>I noticed that most of your dresses are black, is that your favourite colour?, for the first three, try a shoe other than black, to bring out the dresses, #4 is really nice perfect as is don't add anything to it thats my favourite, is that pink in there? I cant tell but whatever the colour try for a shoe that colour a nice wedge would do the trick for that one of if you prefer a flat same thing use the colour in the dress. #5 I also like, try wearing a green (moss green or swimming), shoe with that. #5 if you having problems with bra straps showing there are some clips you use to pull them together to hide them they come in all colours, nude, white or black. Also add some bright colours to your spring attire you would look nice in (green, Orange, purple). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-summer-dress-edition-part-i#post-344915 Thu, 05 May 2011 19:52:54 +0000 Queen Mum 344915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>woo hoo for packages arriving! I think it's about as exciting as Christmas morning (maybe even more ;-)</p> <p>I do this too, so it's not a criticism, just an observation.... dresses 1-4 are all quite similar so I don't know that you want to keep all of them. </p> <p>Of 2,3 and 4, I like 2 the best (which I know you're already keeping. 3 is a nice variation in cut with the nice narrow straps. Very summery looking. I don't like #4 as well as number 2, so I'd be inclined to return it as to not have so many black and white dresses all in similar prints.</p> <p>LOVE #5. Keep that one.</p> <p>Looking forward to seeing the rest of your loot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-summer-dress-edition-part-i#post-344901 Thu, 05 May 2011 19:34:52 +0000 Sylvie 344901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've seen Dress#1 in a previous post. I almost lived in it during last year's hot and humid summer and wore it remixed all winter as well. I bought some other synthetic machine washable dresses to keep it company.</p> <p>Dress #1: INC, (size S), from last summer, just for comparision.<br /> Dress #2: Muse, already worn once, so it's a keep.<br /> Dress #3: INC, I sized down to PS but the straps are still too long. Might need to size down further to Petite XS. RETURN.<br /> Dress #4: INC, (size XS), cutout is not too revealing - have a black bandeau I can wear underneath for coverage. Still undecided on this one.<br /> Dress #5: NY Collection, is the hem too long on this one? KEEP</p> <p>These are all intended as casual non workwear - brunch, dinner, museum visiting, lazing around the house trying not to melt.</p> <p>I have more dresses arriving in the mail tomorrow so I'll do another post for my budding solid colored cotton casual dress collection. <em>Package just arrived an hour ago! Going to try on and photograph them ASAP</em><br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-summer-dress-edition-part-ii" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....on-part-ii</a></p> <p>Thanks in advance! </p>
