Sleeves need adjusting but the colur and the style looks so good to me. I am conflicted re the dress. I wan to like it but I am not sure it's your best. Would love to see it styled up for a better assessment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-forest-print-dress-sized-down-and-danier-jacket-going-back#post-1372422 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 05:08:53 +0000 Neel 1372422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress on you AG. I did not notice the sleeves until Angie mentioned it. So may be it isn't that bad? Moreover, if it does bother you then the fix seems to be pretty easy. Isn't a deal breaker in my books. Under a jacket, I suspect this dress would look lovely!</p> <p>Bummer about the Danier jacket. But now that its off your head ... Its all good </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-forest-print-dress-sized-down-and-danier-jacket-going-back#post-1372320 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 01:48:33 +0000 Echo 1372320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The smaller size looks like a very different dress - in a great way. The larger one was just so big that the print seemed to get lost. Interestingly, I don't mind the sleeves on this, but that might have something to do with the fact that I am loving bold, squared shoulders recently (not quite '80's padded, but very square). That's likely my own issue, though.</p> <p>And the Danier seems overwhelming on you. Too much sleeve, too long in the body, too much hood and the colour is just a smidge too warm.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-forest-print-dress-sized-down-and-danier-jacket-going-back#post-1372283 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 00:28:24 +0000 Karie 1372283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks great, but I'd taper the sleeves. And I agree, why aren't there many&nbsp;long sleeved shift dresses out there? The only ones I can ever find are super body con. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-forest-print-dress-sized-down-and-danier-jacket-going-back#post-1372280 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 00:19:54 +0000 Kristin L 1372280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good call on the jacket. And the dress looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-forest-print-dress-sized-down-and-danier-jacket-going-back#post-1372273 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 00:06:38 +0000 catgirl 1372273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I will check into the sleeve issue! And thanks to Sharan for suggesting a fix!</p> <p>Shannon, no worries - like you, sometimes I just have to get something out of my system. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-forest-print-dress-sized-down-and-danier-jacket-going-back#post-1372257 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 23:49:51 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1372257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh SHOOT about the jacket Una - I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. Especially since I pointed you in the direction…FWIW I agree with Angie and actually REALLY like it on you. But if you're not feeling the love, back it goes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-forest-print-dress-sized-down-and-danier-jacket-going-back#post-1372252 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 23:41:38 +0000 Angie 1372252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are right to return the jacket, Una. It has to feel right for sure.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also feel like you could taper the sleeves as per Sharan's suggestion. Easy fix.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-forest-print-dress-sized-down-and-danier-jacket-going-back#post-1372250 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 23:33:31 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1372250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I noticed the sleeves, too, Angie; they seem to stick out at the hem. That could be fixed rather easily, with tapering at the hem. Otherwise I really like the dress, Una, and I imagine the sleeves might look better when you're moving around. I'm also not all that keen on the gray leggings with the dress and think black would look better. <br />I missed out on the earlier jacket thread, but sorry it didn't work out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-forest-print-dress-sized-down-and-danier-jacket-going-back#post-1372248 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 23:26:41 +0000 catgirl 1372248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie! I guess that in addition to the issues I mentioned the jacket does not have that "Wow, perfect!" factor for me to add another leather jacket. The hood is a little fussy and the cotton lining is clingy. Also the zipper is off center but not enough to look deliberate to my eye. I appreciate you saying it looks good! That tells me I'm not whacko to have tried it.</p> <p>The dress is just thrown on over these grey ponte skinnies. Will restyle with more pics to show fit. Why aren't there more long sleeved shifts out there? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-forest-print-dress-sized-down-and-danier-jacket-going-back#post-1372241 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 23:09:20 +0000 Angie 1372241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I'm a&nbsp;spanner today.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm not sure, Una. I find the sleeve width&nbsp;on the dress a little overwhelming. But this could look a lot better in person - so your call of course. Perhaps you can wear black leggings with the frock. The grey seems to to take away from the dress.&nbsp;</p> <p>Am I the only one who loves the Danier jacket on, Una? The sleeves are too long and the colour might be too warm, but the rest looks dead right to me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-forest-print-dress-sized-down-and-danier-jacket-going-back#post-1372239 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 22:56:45 +0000 Diana 1372239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress in this size!&nbsp; The sleeves look much better here than they did with the bigger one.&nbsp; </p> <p>Bummer about the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-forest-print-dress-sized-down-and-danier-jacket-going-back#post-1372236 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 22:45:28 +0000 jackiec 1372236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dress is great!

I can kinda see what you mean about the jacket, which is a shame because it looked SO cool on the website. Well, onward and upward... </p> <p>Are those jeans still available somewhere? They're Kuts, right? They were gone at Nordstrom's site. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-forest-print-dress-sized-down-and-danier-jacket-going-back#post-1372213 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 22:19:16 +0000 columbine(erin) 1372213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad about the Danier.

Right.&nbsp;</p> <p>PS because of you I actually ordered these jeans in the size 4!! That's a size up and I currently own my size down. I'm just not feeling the super skinny. Probably a crazy move, but I will blame you. Okay? Okay. &nbsp; (It is only a $30 if they don't work, or I will offer them up here.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-forest-print-dress-sized-down-and-danier-jacket-going-back#post-1372200 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 22:12:03 +0000 shedev 1372200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good choice about the jacket. &nbsp;I like the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-forest-print-dress-sized-down-and-danier-jacket-going-back#post-1372194 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 22:00:33 +0000 catgirl 1372194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go ahead and gloat - you were right! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-forest-print-dress-sized-down-and-danier-jacket-going-back#post-1372192 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 21:59:03 +0000 Anonymous 1372192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I told you so &nbsp;&nbsp;(about that jacket) .
