I think I need some playtime in my closet to see if I can get this dress right</p> <p>Chewyspaghetti - Thanks for the advice I tried with a belt, but I don't think it worked that well</p> <p>Janet - we should pair up and then we would get a good side, back and front view I see what you mean about sleeve length and it might be better if shortened a bit</p> <p>Rachy - wow, I love hipster cool!</p> <p>Una - Great advise - I'll try and see if changing shoes can help. Yes, very true that this is a good IT silhouette</p> <p>Shannon &amp; Thistle - I'll see if I can get some other pic during the week. I was in a hurry, so I chopped off head and feet. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-casual-summer-dress#post-951134 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 19:43:40 +0000 Thistle 951134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a sack dress. It can be styled to be hip and cool. It is not a FFBO in my opinion, or an easy one to style (for me, anyway).</p> <p>I would try styling it and see if you can bring out the cool factor. If not, i would return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-casual-summer-dress#post-951129 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 19:41:03 +0000 Transcona Shannon 951129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on the fence Harmonica - is it possible to see a full length shot with your head and legs/feet in the picture? This can often give us a better idea of proportion and length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-casual-summer-dress#post-951032 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 17:57:31 +0000 catgirl 951032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you need to wear this with high platform shoes - with the sleeves and stripes, the shorter the better, but it's a good IT silhouette! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-casual-summer-dress#post-951028 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 17:54:40 +0000 rachylou 951028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really REALLY like it on you. It's hipster. It's a sack dress. I wouldn't worry about the side view - I doubt you lean back like that in the normal course of things. If it had darts, it would lose all its cool factor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-casual-summer-dress#post-950899 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 16:17:13 +0000 Janet 950899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to like it. I like the colors and the stripes, and the length. But there's something about the combination of neckline and sleeve length that is not quite doing you justice -- I somehow feel like the sack cut itself works on you but those details are not. I don't mind the side view because it looks like the dress, not you.&nbsp;(Says a woman who looks good from the side but struggles with a front and back view!)&nbsp;</p> <p>I wonder if narrowing or shortening the sleeve slightly, and/or opening up the neckline would help?&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-casual-summer-dress#post-950883 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 15:56:06 +0000 chewyspaghetti 950883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try it belted before you decide! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-casual-summer-dress#post-950710 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 13:21:04 +0000 harmonica 950710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>cf - I see what you mean about leaning back, but it might just be the pic that is slightly tilted. I do stand straight, but have a saddle back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-casual-summer-dress#post-950703 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 13:12:28 +0000 cinnamon fern 950703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How is side view in motion? &nbsp;It looks like you're leaning back in the picture, which makes everything look weird on everyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-casual-summer-dress#post-950606 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 08:35:25 +0000 harmonica 950606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>length is ok </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-casual-summer-dress#post-950605 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 08:35:08 +0000 harmonica 950605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks for the input! </p> <p>I think the fabrics is ok for my cool summer usually around 15-23 Celsius. if temp gets higher this might not be ideal</p> <p>side view is concerning me although I know this is a pic </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-casual-summer-dress#post-950601 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 08:31:26 +0000 Lyn D. 950601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would not be concerned about the side view- no-one else would see this as we do in a photo.<br />I am not sure about the fabric and drape for warmer weather though- lets see what others have to say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-casual-summer-dress#post-950596 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 08:28:45 +0000 rute 950596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lovely, I love the front view, but not the side one.. it's not too loose or frumpy, but it's just not the best shape for an apple </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-casual-summer-dress#post-950593 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 08:26:44 +0000 Ingunn 950593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the colors and stripes, but I agree that the shape is not your best choice. I would love to see you in a little more structured dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-casual-summer-dress#post-950592 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 08:26:33 +0000 Astrid 950592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's nice - how is the length? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-casual-summer-dress#post-950589 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 08:24:21 +0000 harmonica 950589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Light weight viscose, very breezy and comfy. BUT how is the fit? Too loose, sloppy, frumpy, not forgiving? Side view always enhances apple form *sigh* </p> <p>ETA: would it be better if it was adjusted with a few darts?</p> <p></p> <p>ETA big unexpected bills are thrown at me, so I decided to return it without trying to save it by styling </p> </p>
