It definitely fits me differently than the model.</p> <p>TEXSTYLE and BECKY, the dress is going back. Even though I still love the color. </p> <p>CJH, yes, it had enough going for it that it wasn’t immediately obvious to me that it wasn’t a good choice.</p> <p>ANGIE—yes, a couple extra inches length would make a difference, wouldn’t they? And you’re very welcome to borrow my white mules, but they would be too big for Spider Sam to carry home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-caslon-dress#post-1943285 Tue, 31 Jul 2018 16:09:44 +0000 Angie 1943285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Windchime,</b> I think that a longer hem length would temper the "midsection and hips sensitivity" you're feeling. At this shorter length, the front knot detailing looks too low on the torso. Proportions look off. Pass.&nbsp;</p> <p>You have a gorgeous figure, and I LOVE your white loafers. Spider Sam is coming over to steal them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-caslon-dress#post-1943227 Tue, 31 Jul 2018 14:41:16 +0000 karen13 1943227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Overall it fits well and is a great color. And the length is flattering, I agree that the front knot detail is not well placed. Take note of the fabrication and look for a similar shape with maybe a side ruching detail.</p> <p>Here is the find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-caslon-dress#post-1943226 Tue, 31 Jul 2018 14:36:47 +0000 Becky 1943226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would agree that it's not the most flattering look on you. You'll have to weigh the pros against traditional figure flattery in making your decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-caslon-dress#post-1943225 Tue, 31 Jul 2018 14:31:18 +0000 Windchime 1943225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, JANET! You’re not “being a bummer” at all. Your response to the dress, on you and on me, is extremely helpful. Yes, I think the knotted front does drag the eye down, as you noted, and that is why my kind and supportive hubby said the dress isn’t flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-caslon-dress#post-1943224 Tue, 31 Jul 2018 14:30:57 +0000 cjh 1943224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you quite a bit. For a knit dress, it skims yet doesn’t cling, and the length seems pretty good for the whole proportional look. The back view is very nice and I don’t see “unflattering.”</p> <p>The color is great. It seems like it would be great for accessories such as cute Moto style topper, or a lacy cardigan, even tights, boots and a wooly blazer. Maybe the best part is it’s sleeveless and the armholes look very much the right size and coverage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-caslon-dress#post-1943222 Tue, 31 Jul 2018 14:25:43 +0000 texstyle 1943222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to agree with Janet that something is just a bit off with the dress - the knot in front or the neckline. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-caslon-dress#post-1943210 Tue, 31 Jul 2018 14:09:35 +0000 Janet 1943210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried on the same dress in a different color in store, since I spotted it while making a return, and I’m always keen to try a casual dress. I didn’t love it on me — it “fit” but I didn’t find it particularly flattering. </p> <p>So I certainly understand the appeal — nice color, casual, breezy — but somehow it’s underwhelming on. I thought maybe a V neck would have improved it. Something about that knotted front detail seems to drag the eye down. I can’t say it’s my favorite on me or you. I hate to be a bummer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-caslon-dress#post-1943196 Tue, 31 Jul 2018 13:28:09 +0000 Windchime 1943196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered this inexpensive, lightweight tee shirt dress. My first thought when I took it out of the shipping box was that it is a couple inches shorter than I’d expected. I love the color, and it’s super comfortable. It could be great for casual warm days at work or travel. I was set to keep it, and then hubby said it’s not flattering on my hips. (How to instantly destroy my confidence!) So I had him take pictures and now I can’t decide. If it were a bit longer, it would balance out my pear figure better. </p> <p>Can someone please make a link? It’s Nordstrom’s Caslon Twist Front Knit Dress. </p> <p>By the way, I’m wearing my BP mules, purchased a few months ago, which have become my summer go-to shoes! </p>
