Both dresses are outstanding, Deborah. I don't see much of a difference between the pinned and unpinned looks, although I do have a preference for the first two photos.

Oh my :)<br />That blue looks gorgeous on you. I also prefer the dress pinned.<br />The second dress is also beautiful on you.<br />You really know what suits you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-birthday-shopping-with-my-sister#post-1278477 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 12:42:09 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1278477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow! How gorgeous are these? I vote keep both. You look wonderful in them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-birthday-shopping-with-my-sister#post-1278474 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 12:24:01 +0000 Karie 1278474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color of #1 is very pretty and looks fantastic on you. I love the cocoon style of #2, plus any dress with long sleeves is a keeper to me as I am always cold. I like the first dress better pinned.</p> <p>Both look gorgeous on you, and both are keepers!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-birthday-shopping-with-my-sister#post-1278471 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 12:19:08 +0000 Jaime 1278471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are fantastic on you! I can't tell about the tapering from the pictures. The color is gorgeous and I love the navy as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-birthday-shopping-with-my-sister#post-1278456 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 11:33:13 +0000 Suz 1278456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are both fabulous! What spectacular finds. They look incredibly comfortable as well as stylish. You simply shine in both these blues.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think I prefer dress #1 tapered. But it might make sense to play around with it using some spring/ summer stylings, since that will be its primary use.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-birthday-shopping-with-my-sister#post-1278455 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 11:24:50 +0000 Momo 1278455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them both.

And a Birthday/sister shopping is so much fun. Now I prefer the pin look in the first pics but, I'm almost sure you like a looser drape nevertheless both are lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-birthday-shopping-with-my-sister#post-1278445 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 08:19:08 +0000 Lyn D. 1278445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm- I think I do prefer it unpinned, but it might just be your leaning slightly to one leg pose that looked a bit hip-hugging in the first pics?<br />Can't get over the beautiful colour- so Fab&nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-birthday-shopping-with-my-sister#post-1278438 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 07:42:18 +0000 Deborah 1278438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lyn. Yes I pinned it. Here is a pic non pinned. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-birthday-shopping-with-my-sister#post-1278436 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 07:28:28 +0000 Lyn D. 1278436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh well I love the blue of course!<br />Do you mean that you pinned it in the first 2 pics?<br />If so I would like to see it unpinned for comparison-would the bottom hem be wider?<br />The navy is a no-brainer- so you and lovely </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-birthday-shopping-with-my-sister#post-1278428 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 06:41:05 +0000 Deborah 1278428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Sunday!</p> <p>My sister spent the day in Bendigo today and we of course went shopping. I have so birthday money from my MIL and my mum </p> <p>The Take 2 Market was on at the Town Hall which focuses on vintage, Preloved and new clothing. Bumped I to a lady I know who closed her boutique (new clothing) some months ago (it was one of the few stores I shop at here) and she was selling off some of her stock at the market. So first purchase is </p> <p> #1- # 3 - blue draped dress. Cut very similar to the Metalicus dress and I bought it without trying on! I think it's a keeper but please do tell me if you see so etching I don't. I may have to get the non drape side of the dress tapered a little. You can see in pic 3 how there is additional fabric. In #1 &amp; #2 I have tapered that seam.</p> <p>#4-#7 is a dark navy subtle cocoon style dress - with long sleeves!! Difficult to photograph the colour but tried to show the difference against my black tights in #7. The label is "Piper" purchased at Myer (Aus version of Nordies?). It is a wool blend and feels lovely on. Again I think it's a keeper but value your opinions.</p> <p>Neither dress is styled. Just threw on the boots and popped the dresses on over my tights. The navy dress will need a bright silver pendant I think and works great under a couple of my jackets. The blue will be a great Spring Summer dress but can be layered over to wear now.</p> <p>Both dresses fit my criteria for purchases. I think they both reflect my style preferences, they are comfortable, will work as part of a layered ensemble and will be versatile enough for various occasions.</p> <p>May I keep them?</p> <p>Thanks for taking a look and hope you are having a fab weekend.</p> <p>xxxDeborah </p>
