But I vote for #2 overall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---sparkly-blue-cynthia-steffe-dresses#post-815655 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 20:39:19 +0000 bj1111 815655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>dress #2 for sure. fits much much better, especially in the back and tum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---sparkly-blue-cynthia-steffe-dresses#post-815396 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 17:03:02 +0000 Angie 815396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #2! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---sparkly-blue-cynthia-steffe-dresses#post-815241 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 14:44:59 +0000 Eliza 815241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in those colors.</p> <p>Is the zipper in #1 poorly fabricated so that it pulls the beautiful material of the dress? That is a tie breaker for me. I am so tired of things not be properly done that unless it is "the one", I vote with my feet and leave it behind. </p> <p>I like #2 on you and would enjoy seeing it styled as you described. I also like the length. </p> <p>The "vibe" of the 2 dresses is very different. I see a hint of sweet/retro in number 1, that isn't so present to my eye in 2. You know best which way that tips your choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---sparkly-blue-cynthia-steffe-dresses#post-815188 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 13:45:26 +0000 Anonymous 815188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2 fits you much better but I LOVE the colour of 1.</p> <p>I would like to see 2 layered under too, because I think that shift style could look jumperish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---sparkly-blue-cynthia-steffe-dresses#post-815186 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 13:43:36 +0000 ManidipaM 815186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since both have their points in aesthetic terms, I'm going to go with fit (secondary, as you can likely get an alteration?) and practicality (since you want to serve in a specific few ways) --- and agree with Diana that the sleeve and shoulder of #2 is much more accommodating of 'layering under' endeavours.</p> <p>Personally, I much prefer the fabric of #2 as well, but I realize you have reservations about the colour vs #1. Have you compared to your other navy items to see how well they play together? Sometimes I find a slight distance in tone is rather more attractive than a very near match. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---sparkly-blue-cynthia-steffe-dresses#post-815097 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 08:03:21 +0000 lyn67 815097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both, with a slightly prefference to nr 1, as the shape-and colour I find more flattering, but of course just in case you change it for another one, that has not that pouching on the back, and neckline is cut to center-then I would keep them BOTH.Ha!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---sparkly-blue-cynthia-steffe-dresses#post-815036 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 05:14:19 +0000 Anonymous 815036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like the color of both, with a slight preference for the color of #1. However, fit prevails ... my vote is #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---sparkly-blue-cynthia-steffe-dresses#post-815029 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 05:07:20 +0000 Jenava 815029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh, yes, Diana, good call re. the jumper vibe. Had not considered that!</p> <p>I am happy that it's not a slam dunk! I do prefer the color of #1...but I kind of am leaning towards #2 cause it's more 60's inspired, which makes me happy. You can't tell, but on #1 the neckline is actually OFF CENTER. I am not joking. So obvs I got a lemon and would have to exchange if I kept it...and I like #2 so much that I might just go ahead and return #1. The other thing about #2 that I like is that it's thicker material. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---sparkly-blue-cynthia-steffe-dresses#post-815027 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 05:06:13 +0000 catgirl 815027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer #1. The color is so rich and lovely on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---sparkly-blue-cynthia-steffe-dresses#post-815018 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 05:00:15 +0000 Diana 815018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Given your stipulation that you'll be wearing something over or under it, I would go with #2. I prefer the shape of #1 on its own without another layer, but the back pooch is a dealbreaker. I have had dresses do that, and IMO it's because the back is too long or the back neck is cut too high. It's tough to fix (too wide is a lot easier to fix).</p> <p>ETA: Could you try #2 with the jacket and/or turtleneck and show us? I think it would be fab but there is a small chance it could look too school jumper-ish and young. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---sparkly-blue-cynthia-steffe-dresses#post-815012 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 04:55:06 +0000 Day Vies 815012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 because the color is richer and the capped sleeve balances out the full skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---sparkly-blue-cynthia-steffe-dresses#post-815005 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 04:48:14 +0000 Amy 815005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 better too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---sparkly-blue-cynthia-steffe-dresses#post-814988 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 04:24:40 +0000 annagybe 814988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---sparkly-blue-cynthia-steffe-dresses#post-814982 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 04:20:27 +0000 Jaime 814982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like #1 for you if the zipper could be adjusted or whatever would flatten out that bump in the back. The color is gorgeous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---sparkly-blue-cynthia-steffe-dresses#post-814976 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 04:16:49 +0000 Deborah 814976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are quite stunning. And I find it hard to choose but I think while I might choose #2 for me, I would select #1 for you as the style seems more you. Agree with Zap, is it an option to have an alteration done on # 1? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---sparkly-blue-cynthia-steffe-dresses#post-814968 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 04:12:46 +0000 Anonymous 814968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah I'm conflicted. I actually love #1 from the front, but I agree with you, the zipper is doing something wonky. #2 is nice but I'm jaded based on the front view of #1. I love how #1 showcases your tiny torso and I find the flared / pleated skirt very flattering on you.</p> <p>Dang it, I would actually ask Nordstrom ( assuming you bought the dresses from them) for a free alteration on #1 to fix the zipper bulge. There is probably a lot of material in the back. That is not a complicated alteration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---sparkly-blue-cynthia-steffe-dresses#post-814961 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 04:08:23 +0000 Jamie 814961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color of each. I'm on such an ink blue kick these days. Really, both are very good on you, and I like the shape of the 2nd one quite a lot. The first one is my favorite, so I'm disappointed with that fabric pooch in the back. What if you tried another one? I was going to suggest the next size up, but it looks like it fits you well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---sparkly-blue-cynthia-steffe-dresses#post-814959 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 04:06:14 +0000 Caro in Oz 814959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fit of #2 far better. Apart from the back sticking out I don't think the pleat in the front of #1 sits well. Love the colour of one though (so not much help) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---sparkly-blue-cynthia-steffe-dresses#post-814941 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 03:50:28 +0000 Jenava 814941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, ladies, I think I know which one I like...my question is - are either of these worthy of my navy, white, grey and black capsule? </p> <p>I'd likely wear a black leather jacket over OR a thin black turtleneck under these dresses, with black or grey shoes. Some day I'll buy navy shoes that I'd wear with them.</p> <p>Dress 1: More navy than dress 2, and fit-flare, which ought to be good for my figure? BUT - the fit is off. The neckline is actually cut off center! weird! And it does this little pooch in back?</p> <p>Dress 2: More blue, but I do like this shape - look ma! No back-pooch! Maybe not as flattering since it's the type of dress that flares out from the hip which is really not my best shape. </p>
