I really want a dress that will work (for work) in warmer weather. &nbsp;I am worried that with a blouse layered underneath it will be too warm. &nbsp;#9/10 was my warm weather styling attempt, but I think the cardigan might be too long and maybe a bit bulky with the gathers across the front. &nbsp;</p> <p>Any topper/styling ideas for spring/summer? &nbsp;I guess I could stick with a belt and pumps...</p> <p>@Suz and annagybe&nbsp;- the blouse layered underneath was my favourite look, too &nbsp;<br />@Sveta, I don't own a banded sweater, but I do like the idea of layering a pullover overtop for a top/skirt effect...<br />@Peri and Sveta - Yes, this is definitely an occasion in which it was beneficial to be short! A google search for the style turns up photos of people wearing it from Rent the Runway, one of whom is approximately my height. &nbsp;So I had a pretty good idea of where it would fall on me.<br />@columbine - I bought mine from revolve.com but it is also on amazon, the bcbg website, and 6pm I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-godet-hem-dress-does-it-work-for-work-pic-heavy#post-1166523 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 10:03:25 +0000 Debra 1166523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous !!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-godet-hem-dress-does-it-work-for-work-pic-heavy#post-1166426 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 04:50:30 +0000 Echo 1166426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a PERFECT dress, and it looks perfect on you!

Love it, except with the short sleeve cardi, and particularly love the shirt under (like Suz, I have a weakness for this look though) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-godet-hem-dress-does-it-work-for-work-pic-heavy#post-1166366 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 03:24:48 +0000 Sveta 1166366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is a great dress and I would totally wear it to work (and I understand we have similar high-tech work environments).<br />Do you have a banded fluid sweater? It would look fab over the dress, similar to some looks from Angie's post.<br />Peri, this is exactly what I thought comparing the lengths: on me it would fit like on the model, in other words ridiculously short. Lucky Emily! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-godet-hem-dress-does-it-work-for-work-pic-heavy#post-1166355 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 03:14:44 +0000 Susie 1166355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing all of the other KEEPS!!!

I love it best in 7 and then (surprisingly, to me) in 11 and onwards as a pinafore. I do go for that schoolgirl look (and it is on the runways for autumn) so admittedly that's a weakness of mine. But somehow I like it better as an over layer than as an under layer!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think it's totally work-able. But also date worthy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-godet-hem-dress-does-it-work-for-work-pic-heavy#post-1166191 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 00:14:02 +0000 AviaMariah 1166191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess it depends on your work environment but it looks completely appropriate to me. &nbsp;It looks like it was made for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-godet-hem-dress-does-it-work-for-work-pic-heavy#post-1166190 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 00:13:46 +0000 rachylou 1166190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, you so need to keep this dress.
