I was pleasantly surprised to see the whole dress on you - I love it! The neckline, and mid length sleeves are flattering on you - that bit of extra skin showing is lovely and takes it out of the "frump zone". I'd love to see some current toppers (the denim jacket sounded great) and different shoes too. I think this can really work in many different ways. I say keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-ella-moss-chevron-dress#post-952457 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 08:30:10 +0000 Archer 952457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think all it needs is a shoe with a little more interest. Lots of topper styles would provide good work horse factor, denim jacket for start. It looks like Missoni fabric. I say yay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-ella-moss-chevron-dress#post-952448 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 07:59:06 +0000 Deborah 952448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want I like this more on you Raisin but something seems off. I think a slim belt would look great, and that might be what I need to create a cohesion to the dress. I think what I feel is lacking it that definition at the waist line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-ella-moss-chevron-dress#post-952437 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 07:05:28 +0000 Lantana 952437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have such great feedback here Raisin and there is only one thing I would like to add since noone else has mentioned it.<br />Because of the cut of the neckline, the pattern placement on either side&nbsp; doesn't match. It's such a vibrant pattern that my eye finds this mis-match disconcerting.<br />Consequently I do look at the dress primarily rather than at&nbsp; the whole package of you + dress.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-ella-moss-chevron-dress#post-952408 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 04:04:08 +0000 Suz 952408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the style of this dress for you, overall. Although I think the neckline is not your best. If you wear your hair down, it will probably look a lot better. But when&nbsp;your hair is up of back, you are getting into Angie/ Suz territory with your long neck and slender upper body, and in that case a higher crew or jewel or boat neck would flatter more.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;Also, I think the pattern/ colour combination just aren't doing as much as they could for you.&nbsp;You can do black and you can do white and you can even do black and white together (at times) but this particular mix is both too strong and too busy for you -- like static on a line or something...it muddies you, washes you out a bit.&nbsp;</p> <p>Having said all that, if you are on the fence, leaning towards keeping, then I think this is something that could work for you. Ideally, though, the same style in a beautiful flattering mid-tone would probably be better.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-ella-moss-chevron-dress#post-952357 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 02:00:29 +0000 Mochi 952357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's okay, and I'm not sure why I'm not more enthusiastic, except that the rest of your style that we've seen here is killer. And this is not killer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-ella-moss-chevron-dress#post-952324 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 00:22:41 +0000 Thistle 952324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it but don't love it. Still, if you love t and feel fab in it, then keep it. According to DH, nothing is sexier than a woman who is confident. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-ella-moss-chevron-dress#post-952312 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 00:08:14 +0000 Caro in Oz 952312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Raisin if you like it &amp; feel great in it&nbsp;then you need to keep it imo. Sometimes the pictures only tell part of the story </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-ella-moss-chevron-dress#post-952307 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 00:01:53 +0000 Transcona Shannon 952307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel exactly the same way as Janet - I like it, but don't love it. And don't know why that is.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-ella-moss-chevron-dress#post-952305 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 00:01:40 +0000 Raisin 952305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Originally I thought it was a definite keeper, Caro. I guess I thought it looked better than It really does. But I'm happy to hear the critiques because maybe there was something there that I was on the fence about and I wasn't quite sure why. I like to hear what others have to say because then I can see it in an unbiased fashion. It feels so easy and comfy though, maybe that is overshadowing the fact that it's not the best "fashion" choice for me? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-ella-moss-chevron-dress#post-952302 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 23:59:00 +0000 Kristin L 952302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-ella-moss-chevron-dress#post-952289 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 23:44:08 +0000 Caro in Oz 952289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How do you feel in the dress? Are you still on the fence about it? If you are then I say return it - tell hubby you'll find him a better one </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-ella-moss-chevron-dress#post-952260 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 22:44:22 +0000 Raisin 952260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting replies! It is a bold pattern, that's for sure! I did try it with a skinny belt which looked cute, unfortunately I don't have a wide one to try right now.</p> <p>Well I guess sizing up would be dumb if it looks too big in the bust already. It's the xs so trying a size down is not an option. </p> <p>I was on the fence when I tried it on. Dh loves it, or so he says. He's fairly easy to please though, haha. If I'm showing either leg or bust he's usually happy. </p> <p>I'm still thinking on it... Any other comments are welcomed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-ella-moss-chevron-dress#post-952248 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 22:24:10 +0000 merwoman 952248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>echoing Ceit. It isn't fab enough for you.&nbsp; There seems to be excess fabric&nbsp; through the side of the chest area, and I don't find it drapes well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-ella-moss-chevron-dress#post-952245 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 22:18:14 +0000 Anonymous 952245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it but it almost looks too blocky on top. Like it is top heavy. I do also see the dress first, and then you wearing it. </p> <p>I like it but don't love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-ella-moss-chevron-dress#post-952199 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 19:54:31 +0000 Janet 952199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My quick gut reaction? I like it but don't love it. I'm trying to figure out why. I love a graphic B&amp;W print, but there's something that I can't quite put my finger on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-ella-moss-chevron-dress#post-952180 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 18:23:47 +0000 Mona 952180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not sold on it. Like Eliza said, may be a belt would help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-ella-moss-chevron-dress#post-952177 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 18:16:25 +0000 CocoLion 952177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-ella-moss-chevron-dress#post-952172 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 18:11:02 +0000 Eliza 952172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like a lot about the dress on you. It is something that you have to feel comfortable wearing, because the print is eye-catching. I can't tell if a wider black or white belt would help break up the pattern in the midsection in a flattering way. It might not work with the dress fabrication. Also, would you usually be wearing a topper over it? The fit looks nice, so it may be worth some experimentation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-ella-moss-chevron-dress#post-952158 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 17:09:26 +0000 kellygirl 952158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, I adore it on you. The pattern is eye catching but not overwhelming, at least to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-ella-moss-chevron-dress#post-952157 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 17:08:46 +0000 cinnamon fern 952157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the pattern might be too much for you - you are not the largest person, you know. &nbsp;I think the scale is wrong for your size and your features. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-ella-moss-chevron-dress#post-952153 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 17:00:10 +0000 Raisin 952153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pattern is a bit too much for you CF? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-ella-moss-chevron-dress#post-952148 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 16:48:36 +0000 cinnamon fern 952148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit does look good, and it's a cute dress. &nbsp;I am not 100% sold on it for you, though. &nbsp;I saw the dress before I saw you, you know? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-ella-moss-chevron-dress#post-952127 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 15:36:21 +0000 Raisin 952127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Got this dress last week.  I really like the sleeves and the pattern, and it's a very comfy, light but not see through material.  I think you can barely see my red bra through it, but of course I would usually wear a nude one.  </p> <p>How does it look?  I think the fit it good, is it a keeper?  Oh I wish I had been fast enough to post this before Angie was gone...oops.  </p>
