Good call! And you just inspired me to pass on a pair of really nice dressy walking shoes (a tad too wide) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---a-tale-of-two-dresses#post-944529 Thu, 30 May 2013 03:10:54 +0000 Transcona Shannon 944529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you've made a brilliant decision Thistle - you have much better dresses already. Only 10's deserve a place in your closet. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---a-tale-of-two-dresses#post-944486 Thu, 30 May 2013 02:07:55 +0000 Sveta 944486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is a right decision, Thistle. They are OK but not 10s. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---a-tale-of-two-dresses#post-944481 Thu, 30 May 2013 02:02:11 +0000 Suz 944481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good call, Thistle. These are not as good as others you already have, I think.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---a-tale-of-two-dresses#post-944457 Thu, 30 May 2013 01:36:39 +0000 Caro in Oz 944457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you already have better :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---a-tale-of-two-dresses#post-944440 Thu, 30 May 2013 01:04:20 +0000 unfrumped 944440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good call. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---a-tale-of-two-dresses#post-944439 Thu, 30 May 2013 01:03:50 +0000 Karie 944439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just chiming in - I would return both. Compared to your other dresses, these are just not as fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---a-tale-of-two-dresses#post-944431 Thu, 30 May 2013 00:58:56 +0000 Thistle 944431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I am going to return both. Neither of these holds up to my favorite dress, a dress I happened to wear today. </p> <p>I think I will keep looking (and hoping Nordies doesn't cut me off!). I want to buy more favorite dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---a-tale-of-two-dresses#post-944422 Thu, 30 May 2013 00:46:35 +0000 Anonymous 944422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is cut quite low. Are you ok with that? As much as I love Eileen Fisher, I think you can do better. The wrap and fit and flare dress styles are sooo fab on you. These both look good on you but are not 9.5s to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---a-tale-of-two-dresses#post-944406 Thu, 30 May 2013 00:32:27 +0000 Jaime 944406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 with a cami (or maybe I am a prude?)&nbsp;and #2 with the belt but you have a lot of spectacular dresses so it is hard for me to say if either of these merits a place in your closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---a-tale-of-two-dresses#post-944403 Thu, 30 May 2013 00:31:42 +0000 Sara L. 944403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like #2 with the belt - the color is pretty on you and the neckline flattering. &nbsp;#1 looks good as well and will be office appropriate with a cami. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---a-tale-of-two-dresses#post-944397 Thu, 30 May 2013 00:25:52 +0000 ironkurtin 944397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a spanner.&nbsp; I don't much care for the pattern in #1, it's overwhelming you.</p> <p>I do like the EF with a belt and I think the color is lovely on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---a-tale-of-two-dresses#post-944387 Thu, 30 May 2013 00:11:52 +0000 Anonymous 944387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1. </p> <p>2 I am sure feels amazing, but I don't think it does much for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---a-tale-of-two-dresses#post-944386 Thu, 30 May 2013 00:11:37 +0000 bj1111 944386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1!!! </p> <p>At this point, keep only 10s like sveta. Let #2 go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---a-tale-of-two-dresses#post-944384 Thu, 30 May 2013 00:10:11 +0000 Deborah 944384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you should keep #1.&nbsp; It is <b>S T U N N I N G!</p> <p></b>#2 is a pretty dress but I don't think it's a 9.5:(&nbsp; It works better when you add the belt as it creates better definition, but I am just seeing too much fabric and it's not as crisp and sleek as #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---a-tale-of-two-dresses#post-944381 Thu, 30 May 2013 00:06:04 +0000 Thistle 944381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, after Mr. Postman arrived today, I had 12 dresses to try on.&nbsp; Ten of them shall not be seen as they didn't pass DH (or me for that matter). </p> <p>Looking for 9.5s or better.&nbsp;I really am being picky now as I learned how many clothes I do have!&nbsp;</p> <p>So, here is the tale of the two survivors, who may both be cut yet!</p> <p>Pic #1 - Max &amp; Cleo dress. I have been eyeing it for months, and finally pulled the trigger. It has SLEEVES! It is a faux wrap, so I cannot make the top less revealing except popping a cami underneath it.&nbsp; </p> <p>Pic#2 - Eileen Fisher I have been stalking since it was introduced. I love the fabric!!&nbsp; The feel of it is amazing, but DH hates it without a belt. Um, yeah, after seeing the picture I know why!</p> <p>Are either of these a 9.5 or better, or should I return them both?&nbsp; (I wonder how many returns Amazon and Nordies allow before they cut you off! - I always return in pristine condition, and usually within 7 days of receiving, but I think my return rate is close to 90%) </p>
