And chuffed to see your rendition with the cognac leather belt and slipper flats. That's my favourite way to wear mine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-this-shirtdress#post-2024306 Fri, 03 May 2019 19:13:56 +0000 fifthandfinest 2024306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the blue one with the brown leather belt - great contrast.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-this-shirtdress#post-2024293 Fri, 03 May 2019 18:48:36 +0000 Anonymous 2024293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad to hear your final resolution.&nbsp; I think it is a good decision.&nbsp; I also second sending them to the cleaners if it is cheap enough and convenient enough for you.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-this-shirtdress#post-2024274 Fri, 03 May 2019 17:49:07 +0000 Lucy 2024274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea, Angie! I really loved that how that 1901 dress looked on you. In fact I tried the navy, but it didn't feel quite right on me. It started me on the down the path that ended in these two dresses that I really like though!&nbsp; </p> <p>Thanks, Karie!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-this-shirtdress#post-2024264 Fri, 03 May 2019 17:34:29 +0000 Karie 2024264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I love the JCrew!

I do that with my versions:&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-this-shirtdress#post-2024208 Fri, 03 May 2019 15:08:15 +0000 Lucy 2024208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much for sharing your opinions and helping me make this decision!<br />I should have ample opportunity to wear both, as I live in Florida (long warm weather season) and work in a professional office with a business casual dress code.<br />My other concerns--besides the length, which Angie and the rest of you have waylaid my fears about--were that (1) it was too similar to the Boden dress and (2) they are both cotton, so I'll have to do some ironing.<br />But you have reassured me that it is different enough to justify keeping, and the ironing, well, I'll just have to suck it up and do it! :)&nbsp;<br />Thanks so much for your thoughtful opinions and kind words. This forum is just awesome, as are the people that participate in it!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-this-shirtdress#post-2024178 Fri, 03 May 2019 14:18:20 +0000 Angie 2024178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>About the length of #1,<b> Lucy.</b> I have two of those types of dresses from Nordies NAS last year, and they're longer. But the length on you here is gorgeous, so don't give it another thought!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-this-shirtdress#post-2024142 Fri, 03 May 2019 12:30:41 +0000 RobinF 2024142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love both on you and think they are different enough to keep both. I agree with the questions though - would you wear both or split the wears? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-this-shirtdress#post-2024117 Fri, 03 May 2019 10:13:10 +0000 Adriana 2024117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can understand your problem. Keep them both. They look fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-this-shirtdress#post-2024091 Fri, 03 May 2019 07:49:51 +0000 Gigi 2024091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely keep both. The hem on the first is where it needs to be, IMO. It flares out quite a bit at the bottom, and I think having it longer would make it bulky looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-this-shirtdress#post-2024078 Fri, 03 May 2019 03:23:15 +0000 Glory 2024078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for keep both. They look fantastic on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-this-shirtdress#post-2024069 Fri, 03 May 2019 02:25:31 +0000 Greta 2024069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look very nice! Though they are both shirt dresses, they are different. I think you have a case for keeping them both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-this-shirtdress#post-2024068 Fri, 03 May 2019 02:24:22 +0000 Bonnie 2024068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would keep both, too. I like the length of the JCrew dress on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-this-shirtdress#post-2024054 Fri, 03 May 2019 01:22:50 +0000 Jaime 2024054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are gorgeous on you. I think the length of the J Crew looks perfect and I am a midi lover.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-this-shirtdress#post-2024014 Thu, 02 May 2019 20:53:00 +0000 SarahD8 2024014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I agree that the j crew dress is gorgeous on you and not too short!</p> <p>My questions are--</p> <p>Can you think of any situation when you would choose the j crew dress over the olive dress?</p> <p>Or, perhaps you want shirtdresses to be a signature look for this summer, something you would wear at least twice a week, giving plenty of opportunities to wear both? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-this-shirtdress#post-2024012 Thu, 02 May 2019 20:49:09 +0000 Jenava 2024012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that j. crew is a must keep, it's made for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-this-shirtdress#post-2024008 Thu, 02 May 2019 20:29:06 +0000 Anonymous 2024008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another that supports keeping the J Crew dress. &nbsp;You wear it beautifully. &nbsp;It appears to be the perfect length for you too. &nbsp;</p> <p>...... then I read <b>Synne'</b>s comment above. As always she is right on target with her question.&nbsp;<i>Do you believe that there are sufficient opportunities to wear both for your life style and climate</i>? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-this-shirtdress#post-2024006 Thu, 02 May 2019 20:24:05 +0000 Synne 2024006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are both stunning on you! You've already committed to the green dress, and it does indeed look gorgeous. Would there be many opportunities to wear both? Personally I wouldn't want two so similar dresses, mostly because I don't have many occasions to wear them. Secondly because I am being strict about keeping my wardrobe simple, organized and with clothes that actually get worn alot. Maybe you have good reasons to keep them both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-this-shirtdress#post-2024002 Thu, 02 May 2019 20:17:11 +0000 Anonymous 2024002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - what great dresses on you. And I think the length of the JCrew is just perfect as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-this-shirtdress#post-2024001 Thu, 02 May 2019 20:12:37 +0000 Jane 2024001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They both look super.
