And not only can I not<br /> wear the style but that color would put me at death's door. And I love it.<br /> I have fair skin and I always love how women with darker coloring can<br /> wear clothes lighter than their skin as well as darker. If I wear lighter than my skin, I'm pretty much at white. And I do wear and love white, especially glare-y white. But that dress looked so cool, so effortless. </p> <p>Maybe I'm saying that I can't think of a color that would look that way on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/know-anything-about-this-dress#post-420988 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 20:35:15 +0000 Sona 420988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the first lady wore something similar. see the link:</p> <p><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/20/michelle-obama-wrap-dress-photos_n_905151.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....05151.html</a></p> <p>the arms are definitely different but it did remind me of this post when I chanced upon the pic... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/know-anything-about-this-dress#post-420970 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 19:39:29 +0000 RoseandJoan 420970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE that dress, i would describe it as a structured Kimono dress and would wear a coloured version in a heartbeat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/know-anything-about-this-dress#post-420943 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 19:03:50 +0000 mrseccentric 420943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Maybe this craving is the new millenial version: spa wear." heehee, that's one way to deal with millenial/modern day anxiety!!!</p> <p>i love all type of things i could never pull off (or wouldn't feel like bothering to) myself. it's very freeing - you can just look at the passing crowd without all that worry about budgets, alterations, the color issue, and so on. for some odd reason, i've found self-imposed wardrobe limitations to be very liberating ..... ?</p> <p>i like that dress a lot. it reminds me of a lot of Norma Kamali's pieces from the 1980's (jumpsuits, etc.) fun thread!! steph </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/know-anything-about-this-dress#post-420884 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 18:05:37 +0000 Vildy 420884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, a long while back I noticed that my clothes were all tending toward looking like nightwear. Camel wrap coat looks like bathrobe, etc. :)<br /> Maybe this craving is the new millenial version: spa wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/know-anything-about-this-dress#post-420875 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 17:48:17 +0000 rachylou 420875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw something that suggested it might be Tommy Hilfiger, but I don't know about that. </p> <p>I love this dress and am convinced I could pull it off. Yes. Convinced. </p> <p>Even if it does look like a spa robe. LOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/know-anything-about-this-dress#post-420752 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 12:44:46 +0000 Vildy 420752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Day spa! Hey, maybe that's part of the appeal for me - life as a perpetual visit to a day spa. </p> <p>I always read conflicting advice about curves vs straightness. Sometimes<br /> it's to drape your curves in softness, sometimes it's to rein them in with structure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/know-anything-about-this-dress#post-420720 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 05:49:58 +0000 catgirl 420720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love lots of things that look terrible on me. Sheath dresses, chunky sweaters, big patterns! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/know-anything-about-this-dress#post-420697 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 02:28:18 +0000 Queen Mum 420697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>honestly,she looks like she's at a day spa.</p> <p>I do the same thing... I see all these fabulous looks on these tall non-curvy models and have this fantasy that I would look just as great. Oh well, dreams keep us trying new things at least. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/know-anything-about-this-dress#post-420644 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 23:58:25 +0000 Dashrashi 420644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happily, I've gotten to a point where I can fully appreciate something aesthetically without wanting to possess it if I know it wouldn't work on me. Sometimes I honestly just print out a picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/know-anything-about-this-dress#post-420592 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 23:00:21 +0000 MsMaven 420592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This happens to me all the time. I am really drawn to prints but I generally hate wearing them, unless I find an animal print.</p> <p>I think this would be a hard dress to wear. To me it would take an angular type person to wear it. The stiff fabric would look terrible on a softer, rounder body-type. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/know-anything-about-this-dress#post-420514 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 20:00:53 +0000 Vildy 420514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Am I the only one who would look pretty bad in something but loves and craves it anyway? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/know-anything-about-this-dress#post-420508 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 19:52:17 +0000 catgirl 420508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No idea. I would look so unbelievably awful in this style. I don't even wear a bathrobe because anything with a tie waist like that makes me look like a wonton. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/know-anything-about-this-dress#post-420503 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 19:46:59 +0000 Mirp 420503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like it but have no information on the dress. On me it would probably look like a robe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/know-anything-about-this-dress#post-420469 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 18:58:42 +0000 Vildy 420469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://photos.essence.com/galleries/star_gazing__9_10_11" rel="nofollow">http://photos.essence.com/gall.....g__9_10_11</a></p> <p>I'm wondering who designed it and what it's made of.<br /> Looks very "thick" or capable of holding its structure. </p> <p>This is the kind of thing that I see and think, oohh, I would<br /> wear that and nothing but that every day. Ignoring that<br /> I would look like a laundry bundle coming unwrapped. </p>
