I'll second the above recommendations for a slip and add that sometimes throwing on a&nbsp;basic pair of black tights (not Spanx) is enough for me to feel more comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dress-1#post-1094327 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:56:32 +0000 gradfashionista 1094327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the input!</p> <p>I've decided&nbsp;to leave the dress at home, despite loving the colour. I did try it on with a slip, and it helped a bit, but I'm going to hold out until I can compare it with the other style. I had thought about bringing it with me, but I didn't want the liability, in case something happened to the dress and I wanted to return it. Oh well--a leather pencil skirt and a high-waisted pencil skirt have taken its place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dress-1#post-1094317 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:26:23 +0000 rute 1094317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you have lovely curves and the dress looks amazing on you.<br />The problem is in the angle of the camera! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dress-1#post-1094315 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:05:46 +0000 RunswithDolphins 1094315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is a beautiful colour for you but it does cling a bit.&nbsp; Maybe a slip would work but if you're in a time crunch to pack and don't have a suitable slip already that might be a problem.&nbsp; If you're not sure about the dress I'd say leave it at home and reconsider when you get back, assuming of course that you won't be away too long.&nbsp; Alternatively if you have room in your bag you could leave the tags on and take it with and decide on the go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dress-1#post-1094291 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 07:45:38 +0000 jurocha 1094291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dress-1#post-1094260 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 06:44:36 +0000 Gigi 1094260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with E. I do think that the dress is a little clingy, but I don't know that Spanx are needed to fix the problem. Do you have a flowy slip that skims over your curves? That may be all that is needed. If you were to wear the dress as is, I would probably pass, because I know from my own experience that when something clings to me like that, I don't feel beautiful, and I don't wear the garment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dress-1#post-1094212 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 04:56:39 +0000 E 1094212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't notice any saddlebags in the pic, and that angle is less flattering than how people would see you anyway. That being said, as someone who also has curvier outer thighs, I do have one solution:&nbsp;do you have a slip? Just a regular one, not spanx-y? That will make the dress a bit less clingy &amp; might make you happier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dress-1#post-1094205 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 04:49:59 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1094205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Let's see... it is a beautiful color for you, the length is perfect, it's comfortable, and it balances your figure.</p> <p>What's not to love?&nbsp; I vote keep!&nbsp; I think you look gorgeous without the spanx.&nbsp; Wear the dress and be beautiful </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dress-1#post-1094201 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 04:41:43 +0000 Anonymous 1094201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the color! The camera angle is making assessment of fit difficult for me. I think it is probably fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dress-1#post-1093932 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 01:10:51 +0000 CocoLion 1093932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't see saddlebags. BTW I have a similar body type so empathize but never would have noticed if you hadn't written about it. I like the fit and color I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dress-1#post-1093882 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 00:37:00 +0000 Kristin L 1093882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The angle of your camera is making it a bit tougher to gauge how it looks. I think it looks nice and if it works for what you need, keep it. However, if it makes you self-conscious, you may want to think about returning it. I know that when I have clothes that I feel highlight parts of me I'd rather not highlight, I would not wear it as often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dress-1#post-1093866 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 00:29:42 +0000 gradfashionista 1093866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey gang,</p> <p>The last-minute traveling panic has begun, in the middle of a&nbsp;double-shift of work, and an early 6am flight tomorrow.&nbsp;</p> <p>The question: should I keep the dress?&nbsp;</p> <p>Pros: It's the&nbsp;*most*&nbsp;flattering colour on me, ideal length for me vis-a-vis comfort, 100% midweight silk, very comfortable.</p> <p>Possible cons: I have 'saddlebags,' it's genetic, and no amount of workout out or weightlifting will get rid of them. The dress is silky, so it clings to my thighs and saddlebags. I don't do Spanx.&nbsp;Is the clinging here unflattering? </p> <p>Note that I&nbsp;have a small bust, but the drape in the top of the dress makes me seem larger than I am, and helps to balance the hips.</p> <p>I have ordered another dress that ties at the waist, is long-sleeved, purple, but I won't have it for this long trip. I'm not opposed to keeping both dresses because I like the material, colours and quality.&nbsp;</p> </p>
