It's a great blue for you, and it's a fancy dress (I thought the others a bit plain for a wedding, truth be told). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-help-me-pick-a-cobalt-dress--round-1-the-first-7/page/2#post-665793 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:04:06 +0000 goldenpig 665793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I tried on the second round of six more dresses and they were horrible so I won't even bother posting the pictures. I showed this first set of pics to DH and he had really funny comments to say about all of them. DH thinks he would be a great Project Runway critic. Like when he saw the Anthro dress he started saying "Waka waka waka" and said I looked like a blue Pacman ghost with the short shapeless blue dress with ruffled hem and fuzzy white dots. I laughed and had to agree...I guess this dress is a no-go! </p> <p>He thought most of them looked too matronly esp #8 and #26. He said he didn't love any of them, but his favorite was #16 followed by #18. I actually like #13 the best (he is biased against empire waist styles) so I'm keeping those three for now and returning the rest. Some poor Nordstrom SA is going to have to return about 10 blue dresses. I'm sure they'll be thrilled. </p> <p>I'll show the top 3 to my sister and see what she thinks and figure out what everyone else is wearing. Thanks for your help in narrowing it down. I am so sick of cobalt dresses now that I want this to be over!</p> <p>Waka waka waka.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-help-me-pick-a-cobalt-dress--round-1-the-first-7/page/2#post-664908 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 02:47:13 +0000 velvetychocolate 664908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first choice is #18, followed by #13. </p> <p>What are your favourites so far Natalie? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-help-me-pick-a-cobalt-dress--round-1-the-first-7/page/2#post-664906 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 02:43:32 +0000 Echo 664906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also toss my vote in for #13, although I think you can probably do better. The first dress is cute and worth keeping, but probably too casual for a wedding (any wedding, IMO). The last dress would be my second choice, although I think that may be too formal for the type of wedding you describe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-help-me-pick-a-cobalt-dress--round-1-the-first-7/page/2#post-664869 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 02:09:26 +0000 Jamie 664869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 13-15!!

It's dressy, it's extremely figure flattering, and I like the fit best.</p> <p>18-19 is my next choice - also very flattering and glam.</p> <p>I really like the dresses in #16 and #9-10 on (hello, Suzi Chin dress!) you but I feel like the other two dresses are more different from what you already have, and they really up the dressy factor. But both of these dresses would work well in your work wear capsule, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-help-me-pick-a-cobalt-dress--round-1-the-first-7/page/2#post-664709 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 22:38:57 +0000 Jjsloane 664709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 13 best. Followed by 18. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-help-me-pick-a-cobalt-dress--round-1-the-first-7/page/2#post-664695 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 22:16:44 +0000 catgirl 664695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Am I the only vote for the Papell dress? LOVE LOVE LOVE that dress - I have many friends who have a variation on it, and my sister wore a long fishtal version to the Emmys. I just helped a friend pick one out and the quality and fit were both stellar and flattering. </p> <p>I have a poison eye for empire waist dresses, so although 13 is lovely I MUCH prefer the AP dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-help-me-pick-a-cobalt-dress--round-1-the-first-7/page/2#post-664691 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 22:11:32 +0000 Anonymous 664691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sequin waist dress! It flatters your figure to perfection and the sequins say "evening wedding" to me. Some of the simpler dresses look like something you might wear to work. Well not the backless ones!</p> <p>This dress (#13) looks just different enough to read "special" while still being 100% you. Love the Grecian vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-help-me-pick-a-cobalt-dress--round-1-the-first-7#post-664620 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 19:35:24 +0000 jayne 664620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love13 also. Cannot wait for the next set! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-help-me-pick-a-cobalt-dress--round-1-the-first-7#post-664571 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 19:04:05 +0000 Diana 664571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 13 and 18. I think the size you have on in 13 fits perfectly so I wouldn't size up unless it's uncomfortable.</p> <p>I also really like #1, but I don't think it will work for this particular event. It does not look cobalt to me (too light) and might be a bit too casual given that you are sort of in the wedding party. I'd totally wear it as a regular wedding guest outfit though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-help-me-pick-a-cobalt-dress--round-1-the-first-7#post-664548 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 18:41:51 +0000 Meredith1953 664548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #13, #16 and #18.

Wow. The construction of that frock is lovely and fits you in a very flattering way. Also, I totally see you rocking this frock for other occasions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-help-me-pick-a-cobalt-dress--round-1-the-first-7#post-664405 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 15:42:05 +0000 MsMary 664405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>13-15 gets my vote!

LOVE the color, the drape, and the waist. Are you getting the 6P because it feels tight? Because it looks great just as it isl; I would not have thought you needed a size up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-help-me-pick-a-cobalt-dress--round-1-the-first-7#post-664382 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 15:25:40 +0000 qpswan 664382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourite by far is #1. It is a joyful dress and reads summer. With the correct shoes and accessories it will be smart enough for a wedding. </p> <p>The rest of the dresses seem a tad MOTB to me. My second favourite is #13. (It doesn't look like you need a bigger size). My least favourite is the long dress.</p> <p>I will be watching for the next set of photos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-help-me-pick-a-cobalt-dress--round-1-the-first-7#post-664323 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 14:22:11 +0000 Isis 664323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I seem to be alone in liking #1, it seems like it would work well in the heat, and it is the most fashion-forward to my eye. But others see it as too casual....I am thinking that a 5 pm outdoor wedding in the desert IS going to be more casual? Do you know what your other family members are wearing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-help-me-pick-a-cobalt-dress--round-1-the-first-7#post-664296 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 13:46:22 +0000 JR 664296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find the first one too casual. The last one is gorgeous, and would work if others are wearing long dresses also. #13 is a stunner, and my first choice. It looks lovely on you, is properly festive without looking like you're trying to upstage the bride. Second choice is #16, which also looks great on you, and might be a bit more versatile (read: wearable on other occasions) than #13. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-help-me-pick-a-cobalt-dress--round-1-the-first-7#post-664295 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 13:46:15 +0000 Anonymous 664295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#13, no doubt. Many of the others have noticeable fit issues to my eye and/or would require shapewear. This one stands out as a clear winner. It's flattering to your figure without the need for shapewear and appropriate for a wedding without looking too staid or matronly ... or too youthful, for that matter. </p> <p>In other words, you look prettiest in #13. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-help-me-pick-a-cobalt-dress--round-1-the-first-7#post-664290 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 13:30:15 +0000 MNsara 664290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At first blush, I love #13 (JS Boutique sequin) on you - it seems to fit peffectly (although always worth trying another size to be sure), have enough glam to be wedding family appropriate, and just seems to suit you :-)</p> <p>Next in line would be #18 because AP dresses are gorgeous and a sort of feminine classic, then the long dress but I'd maybe only do long if your other family women are also in long (other wise you might stand out like the MOB . . .?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-help-me-pick-a-cobalt-dress--round-1-the-first-7#post-664265 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 12:56:20 +0000 Transcona Shannon 664265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #13 and #16 - gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-help-me-pick-a-cobalt-dress--round-1-the-first-7#post-664258 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 12:29:02 +0000 Sheila 664258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 16-17 and 22-25... these seem like something you might wear again.

Super-flattering shape for apples, and you pull off the sequins well. </p>
