Thanks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress/page/2#post-635882 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 23:52:36 +0000 Transcona Shannon 635882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I had youth and a great shape on my side, I'd be wearing this dress. I really like it on you and think you can definitely wear it. The pattern placement doesn't really bother me - I don't really notice those things generally speaking. It can be made more casual by popping on a cropped denim jacket and flat sandals for day time and then can be spruced up for evening with heels, no jacket and a fabulous little clutch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress/page/2#post-635879 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 23:44:46 +0000 Marie 635879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This Mom of two 20+ yr. old daughters says "keep." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress/page/2#post-635692 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 19:48:27 +0000 Suz 635692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lemonade, I think Isis is spot on - the picture was angled differently from Nicole's (in addition to cutting your head off) so a certain portion of your anatomy was more at eye level, if you know what I mean. </p> <p>I think this dress actually looks lovely on you, and even has a demure, ladylike aspect to it, as well as a bit of irony. So if the comfort issues are met, I would go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress/page/2#post-635678 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 19:35:44 +0000 Anonymous 635678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wear it with flat sandals and you're good to go. Sometimes slimmer gals need to wear more fitted/bodycon clothing to actually *create* some curves. This dress does that beautifully for you! I love the pattern, placement and all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress/page/2#post-635651 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 19:16:35 +0000 Irene 635651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isis, I swear I have the most innocent face! Also, I hardly ever wear make-up, so I don't look much like a bombshell. </p> <p>Funny how a face changes perception.</p> <p>Oh, by the way, thanks to all of you for your time and help!! :</p> <p>Scarlet, women wear shorter skirts here, that's true, and not only young ones. I don't know if it's due to the heat or because we care less, or I don't really know. I don't find this particular dress too revealing, especially when I see all those extremely short shorts on the streets eeevery day! (as in <a href="http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2006/gallery/simpsonvminnillo/jessica_simpson.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img2.timeinc.net/people.....impson.jpg</a>) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress/page/2#post-635648 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 19:11:07 +0000 Scarlet 635648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, I had to go back and check for pattern placement issues, and I still think it's fine. It would be one thing if flowers were only in certain places, but they are more numerous and relatively evenly spaced. I still vote keep. You are young, and it is the right time to try things out. Also, am I wrong here or don't women in Spain dress a little more feminine/sexy/body-concious than people in colder countries? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress/page/2#post-635646 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 19:08:57 +0000 Anonymous 635646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Isis about the difference in the photos. Interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress#post-635641 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 19:04:19 +0000 Isis 635641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think difference in how people percieve the pattern in the dress is because of your bodies.....I think the difference is in your pictures....you can't see your face in your pictures, while Niocle's pics are full body---without a face to look at , the pic puts the pattern placement front and center.</p> <p>After seeing Nicole's pic, I think the pattern is much less obvious.....</p> <p>Interesting lesson in pictures! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress#post-635634 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 19:00:56 +0000 smcd2005 635634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely keep, looks great. I'd go for flip flops or some cute pumps and a little cropped cardigan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress#post-635630 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 18:56:19 +0000 smcd2005 635630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely keep, looks great.

Maybe rae is right in that it depends on the shape of the body, although I have to admit I can't see much of a difference between both 'models'. It's true that I am... well, more endowed, but I don't find myself especially busty in this dress (which coming from me is a huge Hallellujah).</p> <p>I can recall really liking it when I saw it on Nicole for the first time and thinking 'where did she get that?'. I found the pattern fun and a bit provocative, but in a good 'Nicole can pull that off way'. I always get the impression that she buys at the most special and strange shops, so it really surprised me when I found it in a random H&amp;M. Very unexpected. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress#post-635558 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 17:52:40 +0000 rae 635558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also saw the pattern placement issues, even before reading Zap's comment... for some reason, on Nicole's body shape it doesn't seem as pronounced to me, but maybe most people would not notice something like this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress#post-635485 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 16:21:43 +0000 Janet 635485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to chime back in again and say I hope you keep it. You have to be comfortable in it though! I think it's very flattering and totally age appropriate. If I had the youth and body, I'd wear it, so I can live vicariously through you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress#post-635479 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 16:14:01 +0000 Angie 635479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There you go, Zap. Feel better :)</p> <p>Lemonade, good job thinking on it. If I saw you walking down the street in Spain wearing that dress during the hot Summer months, I would think: "What a fresh and flattering frock on a pretty lass. Lovely!". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress#post-635471 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 16:05:28 +0000 Irene 635471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooooh, so THAT's where I saw the dress!!!!!! Ok, so I was actually wrong regarding people not liking it. I do remember someone wearing a beautiful dress only aproved though!</p> <p>I love it on Nicole Maybe I'll keep it, after all. I'll sleep on it. Promise!</p> <p>Zapotee, you were NOT wrong I think you were right in everything you said, and very nice and polite about it. No need to feel bad! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress#post-635468 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 15:55:35 +0000 Angie 635468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is the same dress on Nicole:</p> <p><a href="http://nickichicki.lookfab.com/post/wiw---a-little-different-for-me" rel="nofollow">http://nickichicki.lookfab.com.....ent-for-me</a></p> <p>It may even be a little tighter on Nicole - and the pattern placement is just the same. It's a subjective opinion of course, but I think you gals both have the youth and bods to carry off this look. And I am very strict about "short, tight and skimpy items" in general (it's probably my least favourite fashionable look - think short bandage frocks). The pattern placement is beautiful to my eye.</p> <p>Zap has a good point about short tight dresses like this creeping up when you walk fast, sit down or reach up with your arms. That either bothers you or it doesn't. A personal choice </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress#post-635466 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 15:49:22 +0000 marianna 635466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress, but I find the pattern placement really distracting and too provocative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress#post-635446 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 15:24:57 +0000 Beth Ann 635446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lemonade: What I like about this dress is that it is a new silhouette for you, but it still has a little bit of that Alice in Wonderland effect in the print --- a sweet floral. The floral takes away a bit of the sexy-wexy effect of a body con dress, and makes it read more young and ladylike. The neckline is also rather demure. If I saw you in this dress, I wouldn't bat an eyelid, and remember one of my IRL personas is pastor's wife. As long as you don't have to tug on it and can sit, etc., I say keep and give it a go! One of the things I like about H&amp;M, is the fact that they are fashion forward, but very affordable. This has allowed me to test drive a couple of different looks without breaking the bank. One of my choices was a big success, the other didn't work in the long term, but turned out to be a great gift to someone else. In your twenties, you should be even freer to try new things! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress#post-635444 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 15:23:19 +0000 Shu 635444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I'm surprised so few of us like it! I think it looks BEAUTIFUL on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress#post-635419 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 14:57:00 +0000 Midwest Girl 635419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote keep! It's a fun dress that is so flattering on you. I actually didn't notice the pattern placement until others pointed it out, but I don't think it's a big deal. You're young so have some fun with this dress and enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress#post-635416 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 14:55:14 +0000 Anonymous 635416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think Zapotee was wrong. I feel she was right on target. I will definitely weigh her advice heavily in the future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress#post-635371 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 14:12:05 +0000 Anonymous 635371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>See! I was wrong... Please keep your dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress#post-635369 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 14:10:07 +0000 Angie 635369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress! You are very young, and can wear it this short and snug. I vote keep. </p> <p>However, if you think you will tire of it - return it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress#post-635368 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 14:09:12 +0000 ironkurtin 635368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it on you. The patterns don't offend at all. And it fits you perfectly. Whoever criticized your figure is nuts. You are willowy and divine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress#post-635365 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 14:04:37 +0000 Anonymous 635365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no, now I feel bad, maybe I came off too strong.<br /> Just to clarify, I don't think the dress is too tight overall, what I think is that it is too tight for the length and the fabric choice. Had the dress been longer, the fit would not bother me at all.<br /> The other ladies seem to like the length and fit, I really think you should not consider my opinion on those aspects then. That leaves us with the pattern placement issue only.<br /> I think Suz's idea is great. Perhaps there is another one with a different pattern placement. Your mom likes it too... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress#post-635350 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 13:32:07 +0000 Irene 635350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok girls, I think I'll just return it and see if I can find something better for me I wasn't sure to begin with so if you say it has to go, it is going to (though mom likes it, surprisingly). Also, the dress is such a statement piece that I'd probably get bored of it in no time... I better spend those 20€ on something else! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress#post-635318 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 12:31:58 +0000 Suz 635318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is pretty on you. I see the pattern placement issue that Zap mentions and I might look for another one just in case the pattern is a bit different (i.e try to find same dress but with different pattern placement - sometimes this will vary dress to dress.) </p> <p>Also agree with Zapotee that you should try to sit, cross legs, raise your arms, and decide if you feel comfortable at this length. </p> <p>You have a great shape for sheaths! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-tight-hm-cheeky-floral-dress#post-635311 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 12:24:39 +0000 Anonymous 635311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great on your body -- I think you can definitely do slim-fitting sheaths.</p> <p>I do vote return, though, because of the pattern placement. </p>
