So go for something else unless you find that perfect one to make you glow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress/page/2#post-631321 Tue, 29 May 2012 06:59:30 +0000 Deborah 631321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon sorry to hear you are feeling yucky after your dress trying on:(. Trust me you are not alone. I have to try on a multitude of garments to find the right one. Don't let it get you down. Try and see it from the other side which is you are a very discerning and stylish woman who won't settle for anything less than the best in terms of fit, etc. </p> <p>The dress is nice but I find the colors don't "light you up". It's just not an exciting dress. Sorry to hear about the blue one as I thought those colors would be gorgeous on you. The right dress or dresses are out there:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress/page/2#post-631302 Tue, 29 May 2012 05:16:47 +0000 Anonymous 631302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I really liked this one a lot before I read all the comments. I have a grand total of two dresses in my closet, and the zebra one is giving me serious pause (that is a LOT of zebra in a full-skirted midi dress). I usually don't even bother trying them on because they look so wrong on me. </p> <p>You, however, rock them 9 times out of 10, and everyone has gotten really spoiled by you so they're being extra "choosey" for your fab style. Don't despair, my beautiful friend. And those shoes were K with it too, BTW. Just sayin'. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-631189 Tue, 29 May 2012 02:29:42 +0000 rae 631189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*hugs* </p> <p>Ugh, this gives me horrible flashbacks to shopping for dress pants! Everyone is right - it's the clothes, not you! Your black/white tiered Cleo confection, your blue lace dress, the new white jacket that fit perfectly practically off the back of a stranger... more hits than misses, in my book! Please don't dwell on this latest batch, as you are much too fab for that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-631186 Tue, 29 May 2012 02:28:58 +0000 christy 631186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I'm 5'2" if that helps. My Suzi Chin dress is a regular, not petite.</p> <p>ETA: And I find petite sizes fit me best in tops, jackets and skirts. Not necessarily in pants because I tend to wear fairly high heels and then need the extra length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-631184 Tue, 29 May 2012 02:26:33 +0000 Transcona Shannon 631184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know Una, I'm starting to wonder that myself! </p> <p>Christy - I'm only 5'1" - wouldn't petite make more sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-631182 Tue, 29 May 2012 02:25:01 +0000 christy 631182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, personally I have a TERRIBLE time finding dresses that fit me. I feel like I have to try on 50 to find 1 that works...it's the dresses, not you! Give that Suzi Chin dress a shot - but order the regular size, not petite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-631180 Tue, 29 May 2012 02:24:34 +0000 catgirl 631180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, this is how I feel about dresses all the time. I would love for a dress to look like this on me. I honestly thought the fit on this was super-slimming on you, though the print bothered me. </p> <p>You need to move past the body issues (hard, I know!) because you have so many dresses that fit you well. In fact, do you need more dresses? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-631175 Tue, 29 May 2012 02:21:02 +0000 Transcona Shannon 631175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I just got wrapped up in a YLF hug!!! Thank you Dianthus, Goldenpig, Joy, Suz and Sveta! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-631167 Tue, 29 May 2012 02:08:40 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 631167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a similar thing happen once. There was a store I shopped at and it seemed like everything there fit like a dream. Then one season, nothing at all fit. I think they had a new buyer whose taste did not fit my body. </p> <p>I have seen you in person and you look great and I've shopped with you and know you have a discerning eye and the ability to put together interesting and cohesive outfits. Hang in there. You will find the right pieces soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-631166 Tue, 29 May 2012 02:07:33 +0000 Sveta 631166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Shannon, I am sorry to hear that both dresses were a bust. But you know what: it means that your perfect dress is just around the corner and it was a test for you: will you go for something so-so but now or will you hold off for the right one. You passed the test and fate should reward you pretty soon!<br /> Maybe you should make another trip to a thrift store -who knows, somebody may be bringing in the perfect dress just in the right time - like your white jacket </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-631161 Tue, 29 May 2012 02:03:33 +0000 Suz 631161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh....that SUCKS, Shannon. I am so sorry. Both are pretty dresses. And it's doubly disappointing when you've had things from there in the past and the fit was always great. </p> <p>I must say, the bust in the blue dress is slightly on the large size for me, as well. And the other Cleo dresses I tried on yesterday were pretty much all too large in the bust. In a much more noticeable and much less flattering way. Some of them were also too snug in the hips and some were weirdly bagged out in that area. </p> <p>So again - it is not YOU. It is the CLOTHES. </p> <p>And I hope to heaven this doesn't mean they are going downhill! </p> <p>Thank you for posting that link - it got me my summer sundress. Now we have to get shopping again for yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-631159 Tue, 29 May 2012 02:02:48 +0000 Transcona Shannon 631159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dianthus/Goldenpig - you are both so sweet. If it were just this dress, it seriously wouldn't bother me. But I must have tried on at least 10 dresses, as well as a couple of skirts and two blouses. Nothing fit right. I'm just having some serious body issues these days that's all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-631155 Tue, 29 May 2012 02:01:12 +0000 Anonymous 631155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The clothing fit models this year must all have had boob jobs because I can't seem to find dresses that fit on top or even tops (nods to Suz) this season. They all seem to have extra fabric and room that isn't filled out by me. It's always been a problem, but this year's worse than ever. Sizing down means it's too small in other places. *sigh* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-631154 Tue, 29 May 2012 02:00:33 +0000 goldenpig 631154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww Shannon, you are one of the most fab and fashionable people I know! It's not you, it's the dress! I know it's discouraging but your dress is out there--something that will make you feel truly fab--don't settle for less! Hugs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-631149 Tue, 29 May 2012 01:56:17 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 631149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I'm sorry to hear that your experience has caused you angst. I am sure others will agree that you have definitely been on your game lately. You recognized that the dress was not cut well for you and moved on. That is a good thing. There will be something else that works and you will be able to get it within your budget.</p> <p>You are definitely on your game!!</p> <p>((hugs)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-631147 Tue, 29 May 2012 01:54:56 +0000 Transcona Shannon 631147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes. I did not feel good in the dress at all Rita and this is one case where the picture is BETTER than IRL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-631146 Tue, 29 May 2012 01:53:31 +0000 modgrl 631146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this one on you. Did you return it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-631142 Tue, 29 May 2012 01:50:49 +0000 Transcona Shannon 631142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went to the actual brick and mortar store to return it and see if they had the blue one in my size, which they did. I tried on the blue and it didn't even rate a picture for you to look at! The fit was HORRENDOUS on me - in order for the waist to fit properly (which still hit me in the wrong spot) the upper half of the dress was humungous - you could have fit two watermelons in the bust area! Took off, got my refund and left the store.</p> <p>There's nothing like an evening of trying on things that don't fit to mess with your self esteem and confidence. Feeling off my game lately and rather "yucky". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-631064 Tue, 29 May 2012 00:17:08 +0000 christy 631064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with sarah and dianthus, but if you don't feel FAB in it, then back it goes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-631052 Tue, 29 May 2012 00:01:21 +0000 Amy 631052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is not as fab as your others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-631051 Mon, 28 May 2012 23:59:53 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 631051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see a problem with the print either but I am not that astute at patterns (among other things :)) I think it looks quite nice on you Shannon but if you don't feel great in it then it isn't a 10 and doesn't deserve a space in your closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-631042 Mon, 28 May 2012 23:51:02 +0000 sarah 631042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must have eaten something strange for dinner, because I really like this on you! I'm not seeing the problems that others are, but oh well, that's what I think. Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-631037 Mon, 28 May 2012 23:48:06 +0000 Jjsloane 631037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the color and sort of the pattern, but the large strap tank top just is not flattering. You've got more better in your closet already! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-631034 Mon, 28 May 2012 23:41:11 +0000 rae 631034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Something about the print doesn't sit perfectly with me, either. I don't know if the scale is too large for you or if all the white lines converge to create a strange optical illusion, but I feel like it shortens your waist. FWIW, I don't think the jungle print goes with the adorable vintage green pumps, either - and since we know the shoes are perfectly you, it's gotta be the dress. </p> <p>I do love the blue one; I hope it is a winner when the correct size comes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-630998 Mon, 28 May 2012 22:57:24 +0000 Suz 630998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I love this dress, the colours, the motif, everything. But I agree it doesn't look as great as many of your other dresses. </p> <p>I tried on all the dresses in my approximate size yesterday, and the blue one was the ONLY one that fit me correctly. But I also had an interesting experience with one of the other dresses; I tried it in two colours; the fit was MUCH better in one colour than the other. I still didn't like it enough to buy, but I wonder if you have a store nearby if it would be worth trying on some more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-630997 Mon, 28 May 2012 22:57:16 +0000 Jem 630997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You certainly don't need any clothes that make you feel bad! Can't wait to see the blue one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-630993 Mon, 28 May 2012 22:53:37 +0000 Angie 630993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are hardly a blob! </p> <p>The pattern is somehow off - fit is great, though. I vote onto something better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-630985 Mon, 28 May 2012 22:43:16 +0000 Transcona Shannon 630985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know...I just feel like a blob in this dress. It's going back. Doesn't make me happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-green-cream-cleo-dress#post-630980 Mon, 28 May 2012 22:38:02 +0000 goldenpig 630980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, it's OK but it's not wowing me like your other dresses. I love your shoes, but I think the print of the dress is a bit dated IMO. I can't wait to see that blue dress on you, I think it will be a knockout! </p>
