That said, I think you have better versions of this formula already in your closet, and this fabric seems to lack the body that makes these dresses work really well. This dress was a wonderful idea in the designer's head, but I think the execution is just short of fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blue-or-green-dress-raspberry-top-from-anthro#post-684011 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 11:38:57 +0000 Anonymous 684011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do love that raspberry color on you but it's hard to see the tier detail. If the tiers lay flat, I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blue-or-green-dress-raspberry-top-from-anthro#post-684010 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 11:37:43 +0000 Anonymous 684010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am very conflicted about this dress. I personally want to love it. As a matter of fact, I picked it up in the blue color and have it at home. As I said when you first posted on it, I bought the striped one it at full price, when it first came out, because I loved the idea of the stripes. I returned it as I felt it made me look wide and gave me a pooch I don't really have, because of the fine elastic down the waistband. </p> <p>I see the rouching as a problem but Angie gave Rae's a K rating, I believe. I do trust her implicitly. She liked it on you too!</p> <p>Would it be too much to take those bathroom pictures you do from time to time? The overhead lighting is throwing me off big time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blue-or-green-dress-raspberry-top-from-anthro#post-684002 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 11:18:19 +0000 JR 684002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would return the dresses. The draping looks rather odd and is absolutely designed to show off a very flat abdomen. You don't want a dress that is going to require a particular kind of lighting.</p> <p>I think the top is cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blue-or-green-dress-raspberry-top-from-anthro#post-683980 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 07:00:44 +0000 rae 683980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, I'd like to see the dresses in different light although I do believe you when you say the overhead is making them less flattering than in real life. As for color, I think they both look good, so I guess I vote green since you already have a good amount of ink blue, teal, and turquoise. </p> <p>I'm not sure about the pink top, but maybe that is because the tiers aren't laying how I am used to from the B44 dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blue-or-green-dress-raspberry-top-from-anthro#post-683975 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 06:51:52 +0000 Lyn D. 683975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colour and fit of the raspberry top and think it would be a very useable piece.<br /> Not loving the drape of the dresses though. I feel as if the style swamps your petite frame? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blue-or-green-dress-raspberry-top-from-anthro#post-683965 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 06:23:05 +0000 Deborah 683965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dresses are lovely. I prefer the blue on you. This dress does seem a lot like others you have, now that might be ok with you but I am wondero g if you need to add another of this style to your closet? Hope you dont mind me asking:). With the top I prefer the striped version as I find it more interesting. The raspberry is pretty but I find it somehow a little nondescript:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blue-or-green-dress-raspberry-top-from-anthro#post-683959 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 06:13:40 +0000 goldenpig 683959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In this thread I posted pics of the Given then Gathered dress from Anthro (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-should-i-get-with-my-anthro-birthday-discount" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....y-discount</a>) and Rae nudged me to go ahead and get it after she posted her awesome pics in the dress when it went on sale (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-natalie-and-kr-given-then-gathered-anthro-dress-on-sale" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ss-on-sale</a>). Fortunately they let me use my birthday discount on top of that, so I ended up getting the dress for $59! I couldn't decide between blue (which Angie said looked killer!) and the green. I think the blue is more my typical color palette (I love turquoise) but I already have a turquoise Michael Kors print faux wrap dress and another turquoise agate print dress so I'm wondering if this dress would be too redundant. The kelly green is a shade I don't have yet in a dress (I do have a couple tops in green &amp; emerald). Which one do you think looks better? I could keep both if you can't decide, but I don't have to if there's a clear favorite. Keep in mind the overhead lighting is creating shadows and making my tummy look bulgier than usual, I think. Although I do see Zap's point about how the flat midsection kind of emphasizes the tummy more than it would if it was gathered all over.<br /> Here is the link to the dress:<br /> <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/shopsale-limited/24724130.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.anthropologie.com/a.....724130.jsp</a><br /> also comes in striped (but the beige color did nothing for my skin):<br /> <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/shopsale-limited/A24724130.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.anthropologie.com/a.....724130.jsp</a></p> <p>Also I found this raspberry colored asymmetric Slanted Layers top that seems like a good MOTG shirt. It was on sale as well for $29.95 so I ended up getting it for $25 with the birthday discount. Should I keep?<br /> <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/shopsale-limited/24065542.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.anthropologie.com/a.....065542.jsp</a><br /> also comes in striped:<br /> <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/shopsale-limited/A24065542.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.anthropologie.com/a.....065542.jsp</a></p> <p>Thanks for your help! </p>
