I didn't notice the pulling until it was mentioned... maybe a different bra would work? Because I really really like it. It's free spirited and flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---watercolor#post-947214 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 08:17:43 +0000 harmonica 947214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the color and pattern, but see some pulling at chest and I'm not so sure about fit around armholes, but maybe that can be adjusted? And what Beth Ann said.</p> <p>Those kiddos are a challenge (at any age), but that also the greatest reason to love them back and show affection anyway. But it can be sooo hard, I know. A little "time out" for parents could release the stress. When things get too tough I leave the room for a little while &amp; breathe deeply, then come back with a better mind and better behavior </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---watercolor#post-947204 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 06:53:44 +0000 Caro in Oz 947204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see the pulling at the bust too &amp; the sleeves/armholes don't sit well imo. I do love the pattern &amp; colours on you though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---watercolor#post-947199 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 06:35:59 +0000 CocoLion 947199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you! &nbsp;But am confused about the sleeves. &nbsp;Are they intentional flutter sleeves or are the armholes&nbsp;too big, explaining the extra fabric? &nbsp;I didn't notice any pulling around the bust. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---watercolor#post-947196 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 06:15:28 +0000 Marley 947196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first thing that I noticed were the sleeves.&nbsp; They cannot make up their mind if they are going to be sleeveless or short-sleeved.&nbsp; They're just kind of sort of hanging a little bit off of your shoulders - and it looks as though they gap around the front of your arm-pits.&nbsp; That would be a deal-breaker for me.&nbsp; As far as the print and the colors go - I think its very flattering on you!&nbsp; However, the way that seam in the front breaks up the pattern kind of bothers me.&nbsp; I don't know Thistle - maybe try a different size? - or, like others have suggested - try a different bra?&nbsp; Somthing is just not right about the fit across the shoulders/chest area.<br />So sorry to hear about your tough weekend!&nbsp; I hope that you have a better week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---watercolor#post-947098 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 02:14:12 +0000 columbine(erin) 947098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the length, cut, and colors of the dress on you, but if you don't love it, try a different size maybe. </p> <p>I had a similar week with my two little boys. /: I wish I knew how to teach them to be patient and content. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---watercolor#post-947094 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 02:12:57 +0000 krishnidoux 947094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it one you! But I agree with comments about the pulling across breast issue and flapping sleeves issue. Maybe an easy alteration would correct this. The dress is so gorgeous and you just glow in it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---watercolor#post-947093 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 02:12:17 +0000 Angie 947093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder if another bra would sort out the pulling across the bust? Happy frock! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---watercolor#post-947088 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 02:10:11 +0000 Anonymous 947088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The watercolor print and colors are beautiful. I'm not sure about the fit. How do you feel in the dress happiness-wise? If you can't wait to wear it out, it's a keeper. If you have reservations, return and wait for a better one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---watercolor#post-947073 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 01:52:15 +0000 lyn* 947073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Am I late to the chase? Regardless, I love the colour, but I think the combination of the loud print, and shiny fabric, the pulling across the boobs don't really work for me, maybe at best a 7, and if you're looking for 9.5's, take it back. You have much more fab things </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---watercolor#post-947070 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 01:46:00 +0000 bj1111 947070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pulls across the boobs. Also for me...print and color seems really loud together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---watercolor#post-947059 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 01:12:23 +0000 Adelfa 947059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love, love, love the print. Maybe size up and see what happens? Dresses without stretch are a lot harder to fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---watercolor#post-947054 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 01:08:27 +0000 Jaime 947054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colors and pattern and think they are beautiful on you. But there are some fit issues so it may be worth trying a different size or different undergarmets (for me a different bra often changes the fit). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---watercolor#post-947047 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 00:49:39 +0000 Suz 947047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the pattern and colours on this dress so much!! That was what I noticed first, and I was in love with it for you! Then I noticed the slight pulling on the bust. But you know, I really love this so much that I would almost be tempted to see if you could size up -- or if there is any wiggle room in the seams there to make a tiny adjustment.&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree with everyone else that the wrap style is your friend. And it looks truly lovely on you. At the same time, a woman likes a bit of variety (or <b>this </b>woman does -- maybe I shouldn't make assumptions about you, LOL). And this fit and flare seems similar enough to flatter while different enough to provide a change.&nbsp;</p> <p>In other words, I am with Mr. Thistle in thinking this one has real potential, and I would like to find a way to make it a 10. In my mind, it's really high on the scale already.&nbsp;</p> <p>PS sorry it has been a rough weekend with the wee one. I remember those days SOOOOOO well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---watercolor#post-947046 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 00:44:00 +0000 Beth Ann 947046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh......I know that look in your eye.&nbsp; I remember that one.&nbsp; On those days, I was so glad DH works at home.&nbsp; I would make an unscheduled trip to the gym, or to Target; anything to get a moment to regroup!&nbsp;&nbsp; I hope you wake tomorrow up to a grand smile and cuddle!</p> <p>Where do you envision wearing this dress?</p> <p>Would you pull it out tomorrow, bypassing the other dresses in your closet, thinking, "Oh yeah, I get to wear this!"</p> <p>I'm using these two questions with my purchases.&nbsp; Sometimes it's helpful.</p> <p>As for the dress, I love the vibrant colors, but I think the fit is an 8, and the cut is an 8 on you.&nbsp; Of course, I sometimes grade on a curve!&nbsp; I love the idea of a bright floral for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---watercolor#post-947036 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 00:24:00 +0000 Karie 947036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also noticed the pulling in the bust area, and I think the seam in the front takes away from the flow of the pattern. I don't think it's a 9.5, close maybe, but I would return. I like your wrap dresses so much better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---watercolor#post-947030 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 00:19:22 +0000 missvee 947030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say pass on this one. To me the pattern is fighting with the seaming on the dress. The colours are nice though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---watercolor#post-947027 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 00:12:42 +0000 Nadya 947027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is beautiful on you, but I also see the pulling across the bust. The question is: does that take off half a point or a full point? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---watercolor#post-947026 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 00:12:32 +0000 Anonymous 947026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pattern and colour are lovely, but the first thing I see is the pulling across the bust. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---watercolor#post-947023 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 00:07:00 +0000 Jules 947023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm I assumed the sleeves were intentional and I didn't notice the bust pulling until Shannon mentioned it - the pattern hides it very well. That said I'm not in *love* with it and it doesn't sound like you are either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---watercolor#post-947021 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 00:04:00 +0000 Deborah 947021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp; Thistle I like the dress a lot.&nbsp; I think the colour and pattern is really very lovely.&nbsp; To me it doesn't have quite the wow factor of your wrap dresses.&nbsp; Are the sleeves/armholes too big or is it part of the style that they 'flutter' a little? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---watercolor#post-947019 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 00:02:41 +0000 Transcona Shannon 947019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colours and pattern on you Thistle but I'm wondering if it's a bit too tight across the bust? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---watercolor#post-947010 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 23:53:52 +0000 Thistle 947010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please ignore the awful hair. It has been one of those weekends where I&nbsp;wonder how children can be so naughty and how they can scream and cry so much or so loudly. Dress came on Thursday and this was the first chance I had to try it on.</p> <p>Pros: I like the colors. It has length. It is comfortable. DH loves it.</p> <p>Cons: I don't think it is very flattering although DH loves it.&nbsp; I sort of wonder if it is the best of a lot in a long time rather than a 10 on its own. DH wanted me to post it to see what you fab ladies thought before I returned it&nbsp; :)</p> <p>I only want to keep 9.5s or better, so looking for your honest opinion on if this dress makes that cut.</p> <p>&nbsp; </p>
