I love the idea of red flats and a big cuff. You have lots of possibilities with your accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ef-linen-dress/page/2#post-1790749 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 16:12:31 +0000 Suz 1790749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it and you have got me wanting one for myself.

I'm glad to hear your dress has been good to you, and washed up well, too!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ef-linen-dress/page/2#post-1790722 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 15:33:34 +0000 Gaylene 1790722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to hear you are keeping it! I have had a similar EF dress for the past three years; the dress has become a summer workhorse because it is cool, comfortable, and washes like a dream--machine wash in cool water on a regular setting, hang to dry, and put it on for another outing.</p> <p>I also find the color works well because it ISN'T an eye catcher--makes it easier to wear it over and over again without people remembering I had the same dress on when I last saw them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ef-linen-dress/page/2#post-1790711 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 15:15:17 +0000 Jenn 1790711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've decided to <b>keep</b>. After doing some thinking, the pros largely outweigh the cons.</p> <p>Pros:<br />easy to style<br />gorgeous woven linen fabric<br />ethically made<br />price was reduced when I purchased<br />comfortable<br />cool<br />fits well<br />pockets<br />JFE</p> <p>Cons:<br />JFE<br />outside style comfort zone<br />unexciting color</p> <p>On the color issue,&nbsp;<b>Angie and Brooklyn,&nbsp;</b>I do think it's more blue than it comes across in photos. The weave is natural and indigo fibers, with a very thin vertical shot of cobalt blue that catches the light in a way that changes the overall effect in person.</p> <p><b>delurked</b>, yes, I hear you on the little girl thing, though it's a different effect for those of us who are taller than for petite women. More jarring than infantilizing.</p> <p><b>Momo</b>, I think you might be seeing the creases left from shipping as seams, but the cut is just slightly A-line.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Sheila</b>, I 100% don't care about the weave matching perfectly at the side seams. I'm not even sure that would be possible, given the randomness of it.</p> <p><b>Barbara Diane </b>- Red shoes aren't my thing, but I could see that for others.</p> <p><b>Elle -&nbsp;</b>I wash almost everything in cold water, and run a delicate/handwash load at least once a week, so I have no issues there.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ef-linen-dress/page/2#post-1790596 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 09:13:42 +0000 Sisi 1790596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with <b>Approprio</b>, from the first to the last word. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ef-linen-dress#post-1790557 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 03:37:26 +0000 Anonymous 1790557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep.

I clicked through the find and noted that it is described as "denim", so maybe it is more blue IRL.<br />Love the shape on you, and the texture. And pockets! It will be perfect for summer. If you like the colour, I say go for it.<br />And definitely not too short. You have lovely knees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ef-linen-dress#post-1790509 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 01:09:53 +0000 Angie 1790509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I voted yay. I like the dress on you, Jenn, but wish it wasn't grey. *smiling*</p> <p>I don't think it's too short - nothing wrong with your knees. It has a VERY nice sack frock fit. Good sleeves. Euro. FWIW, it has my thumbs up.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ef-linen-dress#post-1790502 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 00:16:52 +0000 Momo 1790502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it. I think the seaming makes it quite flattering ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ef-linen-dress#post-1790495 Wed, 22 Mar 2017 23:38:10 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1790495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ef-linen-dress#post-1790494 Wed, 22 Mar 2017 23:25:51 +0000 Sheila 1790494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you determine if the horizontal stripes match at the side seams? Photo #3 is the only one that shows a side seam and I can't tell...with such irregular 'stripes/striations' in the fabric, maybe this doesn't matter. Just a thought... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ef-linen-dress#post-1790493 Wed, 22 Mar 2017 23:24:43 +0000 Bonnie 1790493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks perfect. You want to wear it often and it will make a great base for accessories to change things up.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ef-linen-dress#post-1790492 Wed, 22 Mar 2017 23:12:24 +0000 Anonymous 1790492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn - this is a useful easy summer dress, and like you, I'm struggling with lengths above the knee. There's just something about the proportion that can look a bit "little girl" on me, depending on the shoe worn with it. For some reason, I don't mind shorter skirts as much. We are about the same height, I believe. I also generally prefer prints or darker tones to avoid a nightgown look with a shift dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ef-linen-dress#post-1790491 Wed, 22 Mar 2017 23:10:16 +0000 Anonymous 1790491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this dress!<br />I appreciate that you prefer longer hemlines but this isn't "short" and the length makes it lighter looking. I like the straighter, simpler style for hot weather, and I think the neckline and sleeve style is especially flattering on you. I would definitely keep it, I think you'll find it super wearable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ef-linen-dress#post-1790490 Wed, 22 Mar 2017 23:07:53 +0000 Elle 1790490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you &nbsp;- great texture and color. &nbsp;I think linen is one of the best fabrics for hot weather. &nbsp;Are you OK with the instructions to &nbsp;either dry clean or wash in cold water? &nbsp;That would be a deal breaker for me since I like to toss things in the washer &amp; dryer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ef-linen-dress#post-1790488 Wed, 22 Mar 2017 23:04:35 +0000 Anonymous 1790488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this dress! <br />I appreciate that you may prefer longer hemlines but this isn't "short", the fit looks good, I like the straighter, simple style for hot weather and I think the neckline and sleeve style is especially flattering on you.

The fit looks spot on and no worries about your knees. </p> <p>I would try and pull some of that blue color into an accessory like a comfy stretch bracelet. These 2 are from chicos. I always remove the tassle on the beaded styles and I like to buy&nbsp; multiples and group them with a twist. </p> <p>ETA: I only looked briefly but you get the idea.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ef-linen-dress#post-1790465 Wed, 22 Mar 2017 21:41:39 +0000 JAileen 1790465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's interesting Lisa thought the color was blah. I almost ordered it myself. The fabric looked so so nice. Yes, the texture doesn't show up. I loved the bluish grey color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ef-linen-dress#post-1790464 Wed, 22 Mar 2017 21:41:32 +0000 Barbara Diane 1790464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cross posted.
