I love the bracelet length sleeves--please don't touch them! Now I'm off to see your first dress, which I missed. Cheers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-second-dress-needed#post-1183281 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 16:00:48 +0000 sarah 1183281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!</p> <p>Just wanted to those of you who asked about the pumps: they are Isaac Mizrahi 'Gabriel'. Mine are a silver "basketweave", but this year they are available in a couple of different metallic, as well as patent colors. They choices are slightly different at Nordstroms and Zappos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-second-dress-needed#post-1182810 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 00:04:49 +0000 Anonymous 1182810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just beautiful, Sarah! I missed your earlier thread, but love the red dress too. Like Unfrumped, I'd like to know more about those silver pumps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-second-dress-needed#post-1182799 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 23:49:06 +0000 unfrumped 1182799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are simply a dress magnet. So beautiful , and with sleeves! The sleeves are bracelet length and of course they'll ride up some when you move so i think that is a good proportion. </p> <p>And knee length is so elegant- just right. i have to pass up 99.5% of dresses as they are all well above the knee on me. I want those pumps, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-second-dress-needed#post-1182785 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 23:36:54 +0000 kkards 1182785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>fab dress, i love the back!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-second-dress-needed#post-1182782 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 23:32:20 +0000 Eliza 1182782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful. &nbsp;I agree that the length works beautifully as its. &nbsp;Love that color on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-second-dress-needed#post-1182780 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 23:28:47 +0000 Deborah 1182780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes for both the garden party event and the upcoming wedding.&nbsp; You look gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-second-dress-needed#post-1182720 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 22:42:00 +0000 kellygirl 1182720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!

I was worried about the opposite, actually, that it's too big.</p> <p>Marmee, I see what you're seeing. I'm pretty sure the petite will be too short (they didn't carry the petite in the store, so I'd have to order it), as I wouldn't want the dress any shorter than this. We'll see what others have to say about the sleeve length, and I suppose I could look into alterations, as I have plenty of time, and Nordstrom's would do them for free, I imagine, with my card. I'm not worried about the color, as they are different, and the styles of the two dresses are also quite different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-second-dress-needed#post-1182603 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 19:53:48 +0000 carambola 1182603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! The fit looks perfect to me.

I love it. As far as the shoulders, have you tried hugging yourself or lifting your arms about your head? Those are ways I use to figure out if the shoulders fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-second-dress-needed#post-1182591 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 19:32:21 +0000 sarah 1182591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all your help on my&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/event-dress-take-3-following-the-bosss-orders">recent dress post</a>. I'm happily keeping the red dress that had Angie sobbing, to wear&nbsp;to an evening "business" dress event. As part of the same weekend, I&nbsp;have to attend an afternoon "garden party", which is also&nbsp;"business" dress. I went to Nordstrom's yesterday because I've grown&nbsp;weary of the online/return cycle (I've now returned 10 dresses) and tried on&nbsp;about 9 dresses. The SA came up with this one. It's regular sizing (the petite&nbsp;would be too short for my comfort zone), but I *think* it still fits in the&nbsp;shoulders, which is usually where I have trouble. It's a bit more of a deep<br /> fuchsia than the flash suggests. I'm wearing it with low silver pumps.</p> <p>&nbsp;Thoughts?</p> <p>I would also be able to wear this<br /> to a wedding in June.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>thanks!</p>
