I think a belt would mess up the look of the cool zipper in the back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-ted-baker-dress/page/2#post-335000 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 21:01:05 +0000 Lisa 335000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This works for me. It's a great surrender the waist look and you can't beat the print. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-ted-baker-dress/page/2#post-334889 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 18:21:50 +0000 Anonymous 334889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you!

As someone who has the opposite body type and is often trying to visually minimize the hips and chest, I can actually sometimes appreciate when an outfit makes me look a little more rectangular, as long as the line is long and lean. All of our shapes are perfectly valid and perfectly fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-ted-baker-dress/page/2#post-334800 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 16:07:48 +0000 Beth 334800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome dress and the colors were made for you. The zipper is the icing on the cake.</p> <p>KEEP. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-ted-baker-dress/page/2#post-334782 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 15:53:16 +0000 Barbara 334782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GOR GE OUS! Una, I almost fell out of my chair.</p> <p>Definitely a keeper.

This is so weird when I saw the dress on Nordstrom's site I thought it looked like you. I think it looks great loose and without the jacket. The print and colors are beautiful. Great with your dark hair and skin tone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-ted-baker-dress#post-334559 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 01:56:39 +0000 Maya 334559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't keep. Give it to me.</p> <p>Um, I think it looks great in every single picture. Belt or no belt. </p> <p>But you should still give it to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-ted-baker-dress#post-334548 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 01:43:49 +0000 afterism 334548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the psychedelic print on this dress. I would probably belt it but I think that may just be my preference in general. </p> <p>I vote keep </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-ted-baker-dress#post-334545 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 01:32:04 +0000 rae 334545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Um, LOVE! Wrestling myself to the floor to keep from ordering myself one, too! Una, I think it evens out the IT figure beautifully and works well with OR without the belt. The cut is little mod-ish which makes me happy. And that print... I'm panting in envy here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-ted-baker-dress#post-334478 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 00:01:21 +0000 lynn 334478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!

I also think it looks better unbelted. Keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-ted-baker-dress#post-334431 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 22:29:34 +0000 catgirl 334431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, K2TPOK? I am thrilled! I like it beltless too, as long as its not too rectangular. It seems to fit the same way on the model, though. </p> <p>Vix, I agree, a lower neckline would be better, but I am okay with this as it suits my cleavage-phobia. </p> <p>Patty, I think you are the first person ever to call me long-legged. I am sending you a giant cyber-hug. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-ted-baker-dress#post-334427 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 22:22:20 +0000 Kari 334427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please keep it, with or without the jacket!

Love love love that print, I saw it in store too. The cut would probably not be great on me, but I love it on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-ted-baker-dress#post-334416 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 21:49:32 +0000 rosee 334416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it's a keeper -- wear it well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-ted-baker-dress#post-334388 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 20:59:23 +0000 kellygirl 334388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep for sure.

You look INCREDIBLE in that dress. You need to keep it and wear it quite often!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-ted-baker-dress#post-334371 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 20:46:31 +0000 Angie 334371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER to the power of KILLER. (Don't you dare wear it with a belt!).</p> <p>To my eye, this is the best dress you have ever put on, on this forum.</p> <p>(I too am a huge Ted Baker fan). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-ted-baker-dress#post-334352 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 19:37:49 +0000 Vix 334352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Una --</p> <p>The colors and slight A-line are really nice on you! </p> <p>However, you asked about the "rectangularness" and shoulder issue; for me, the neckline accentuates both issues. </p> <p>I know it's a spendy dress, but IMO tailoring that high boatneck to even a shallow scoop or V would better frame your face and create more balance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-ted-baker-dress#post-334351 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 19:37:42 +0000 Cilleena 334351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it too! It's beautiful on you, Una! I like it best unbelted and with or without the jacket. It stands alone on you very well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-ted-baker-dress#post-334348 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 19:23:49 +0000 catgirl 334348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sure, here's a back photo.</p> <p>I have to say, I try on dresses with true defined waists all the time, and they look terrible on me or else they don't fit, because I am so rectangular through the torso. So this or total waist surrendering is usually all I can do. </p>
