I would normally pass by #1 in the store, thinking it would just make me look shapeless, but somehow it does seem to flatter you! Looks better on you than on the model, in fact. </p> <p>I would be tempted to keep both, or try to find one in another color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----summer-dresses-inspired-by-nancylees-thread#post-626709 Wed, 23 May 2012 11:34:36 +0000 Claudia 626709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really like both, and think they are different enough to make a case for keeping the both of them. I agree with Anna about their vibes: if you are only going to keep one, it just depends on which you think you'll want to wear more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----summer-dresses-inspired-by-nancylees-thread#post-626676 Wed, 23 May 2012 08:28:41 +0000 RoseandJoan 626676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both dresses on you Denise. The cuts fit with your style very well but the colour makes them look harsher or more conservative than how I perceive your modern, minimalist, boho style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----summer-dresses-inspired-by-nancylees-thread#post-626624 Wed, 23 May 2012 04:23:06 +0000 Mo 626624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both, but agree that maybe 2 black summer dresses is overkill. Can you return one of them for a different color if one is available?<br /> I have been loving my 2 drapey dresses I got this year. Somehow I feel even though they are a bit shapeless, they are figure enhancing. Plus changing up the belt and shoes makes for a variety of options! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----summer-dresses-inspired-by-nancylees-thread#post-626620 Wed, 23 May 2012 04:11:27 +0000 kellygirl 626620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both with a slight preference for #2. I like how it looks sleeker. I don't think you could go wrong with either </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----summer-dresses-inspired-by-nancylees-thread#post-626610 Wed, 23 May 2012 03:53:19 +0000 ManidipaM 626610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer dress #2, if *you* don't feel too fusty in it. Looks awfully good, awesome in truth, but does its relative lack of unconventionality and the waistedness bother you?</p> <p>Reasons? Well, Suz said it all! (Btw, I thought dress #1 would make a super tunic over skinnies!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----summer-dresses-inspired-by-nancylees-thread#post-626498 Wed, 23 May 2012 02:12:17 +0000 sarah 626498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the asymmetrical waist-surrendering silhouette of #1, which seems more "you". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----summer-dresses-inspired-by-nancylees-thread#post-626483 Wed, 23 May 2012 02:00:27 +0000 Jonesy 626483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish 1 were a bit longer or more tapered at the bottom...I think I like 2 better because of the bottom half (longer and seemingly more tapered), but 1 is cool too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----summer-dresses-inspired-by-nancylees-thread#post-626480 Wed, 23 May 2012 01:59:13 +0000 Transcona Shannon 626480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like both on you Denise - even though they're both black, they're very different and can be worn for different occasions. #1 is more edgy in its style and #2 is more classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----summer-dresses-inspired-by-nancylees-thread#post-626455 Wed, 23 May 2012 01:44:19 +0000 bj1111 626455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 by a bazillion percent. the second looks too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----summer-dresses-inspired-by-nancylees-thread#post-626433 Wed, 23 May 2012 01:30:34 +0000 Jaime 626433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, my first reaction is to prefer #1, but 2 is also quite flattering. I agree it depends on what sort of look you want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----summer-dresses-inspired-by-nancylees-thread#post-626393 Wed, 23 May 2012 01:12:30 +0000 christieanne 626393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of #1 but the fit on #2. #2 looks a bit more summery as well with the low back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----summer-dresses-inspired-by-nancylees-thread#post-626373 Wed, 23 May 2012 00:47:18 +0000 jen 626373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 is edgy and very you, I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----summer-dresses-inspired-by-nancylees-thread#post-626370 Wed, 23 May 2012 00:45:11 +0000 Suz 626370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Forget the dresses. I want your SHOES!! (As usual...) What are those, Denise? </p> <p>Back to the subject at hand, each of these appeals to me in a different way. I love the waist surrendering cool of #1; it looks very much like a "you" dress and is probably easier for a casual lifestyle. However, I wish it were a touch longer. Don't get me wrong. It LOOKS really good at this length, and it is a summer dress, after all. But my eye is adjusting to longer lengths, I guess. And I know that last year I had a dress about that length. I thought it would be fab. And it IS fab, while I'm standing, especially when I wear flats or low wedges. But if I sit down, it rides up something awful. And I feel uncomfortable in it. I've relegated it to the land of beach cover ups. </p> <p>The second dress is stunning and looks wonderful on you, but I"m not sure it's so much your style. It does seem dressier than the first. </p> <p>Not much help, am I? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----summer-dresses-inspired-by-nancylees-thread#post-626369 Wed, 23 May 2012 00:41:51 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 626369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the second but like both. The second may be more conservative but I think you could toughen it up a bit with accessories and a bit of bright. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----summer-dresses-inspired-by-nancylees-thread#post-626368 Wed, 23 May 2012 00:39:10 +0000 Marie 626368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They both look great on you - the second one looks dressier - sorry no help </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----summer-dresses-inspired-by-nancylees-thread#post-626364 Wed, 23 May 2012 00:34:44 +0000 Isis 626364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I much prefer the second dress! I love the longer length and the deep v-shape in the back.....You look really great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----summer-dresses-inspired-by-nancylees-thread#post-626357 Wed, 23 May 2012 00:26:05 +0000 Deborah 626357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To answer your question "I do"! I have quite a few black summer dresses lol</p> <p>If I had to pick one I would pick dress #1. Its very modern and fresh I love it #2 is also stunning and is perhaps more classic in the tradition sense. </p> <p>Both dresses are incredibly flattering on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----summer-dresses-inspired-by-nancylees-thread#post-626356 Wed, 23 May 2012 00:25:33 +0000 annagybe 626356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer #1, it reminds me of my slouchy DVF dress. It looks more edgy, while #2 is more coventionally attractive. Depends on what you're looking for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----summer-dresses-inspired-by-nancylees-thread#post-626352 Wed, 23 May 2012 00:23:05 +0000 rae 626352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't love #1 - I think the draping looks a little unintentional for some reason, like it just got twisted up as you pulled it on or something. </p> <p>#2 onthe other hand is stunning! I think you could dress it up or down and not go wrong. I see no trace of this gut you mention. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----summer-dresses-inspired-by-nancylees-thread#post-626350 Wed, 23 May 2012 00:18:22 +0000 CocoLion 626350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After reading Nancy Lee's thread about the difficulty of finding summer dresses <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sundress-lament" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ess-lament</a> I was inspired to do some shopping. I ordered these:</p> <p>Pictures 1/2/3 -- Three Dots size M modern knit dress. I have it pulled down a little in pic #1, I think it naturally sits a little higher. Is it too short? Shapeless and unattractive?</p> <p>Pictures 4/5/6 -- Red Dot by Three Dots size S classic knit dress. Waist sits a little low. In picture 6 I am letting my gut hang out and it still looks OK! So that's a major plus (of both dresses actually). Is this too conservative for me? That's my only hesitation. I like the longer length of this one.</p> <p>What do we think? Which one is better or should I keep both? (Although, who *wants* 2 black dresses in the summer?)</p> <p>Here's a link FYI:<br /> <a href="http://www.6pm.com/three-dots-lightweight-s-s-open-crewneck-dress-black" rel="nofollow">http://www.6pm.com/three-dots-.....ress-black</a><br /> I can't find a link to the other black dress, I think I got the last one. </p>
