Also like the shape. I can't wrap my head around the short sleeves on these wide midi dresses, though. Why would one want so much coverage and at the same time bare arms? To me it would be confusing to know what temperature and climate I would wear it in. If breezy, I would surely need a topper? But it does look good on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-dress-1#post-2124251 Fri, 29 May 2020 17:21:05 +0000 nuancedream 2124251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a definite keeper. The color is beautiful with your hair and complexion. Rock that boho look to the max! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-dress-1#post-2124185 Fri, 29 May 2020 13:45:09 +0000 Anonymous 2124185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looked again at the photos and am glad you are keeping the dress. You will enjoy it this summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-dress-1#post-2124184 Fri, 29 May 2020 13:44:04 +0000 Debbie 2124184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I do wear my hair up some and I will try that look with the dress.<br /> I thank each and everyone of you for commenting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-dress-1#post-2124180 Fri, 29 May 2020 13:26:37 +0000 unfrumped 2124180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do think camera angles and movement make a big difference. I try to think about what the Forum observations and comments can help with and what are the limitations. For me the issue was, examine carefully for whether it does overwhelm, because boho is easy to get too far that way and the straight-on static photo always looks more that way. But you are&nbsp; more able to tell about that as you move about and see it from different angles and feel it.<br />&nbsp;I have the same issue sometimes with drapey pants , or even tops, and someone might say try a smaller size--I will give that some more&nbsp; thought about where and how the item fits ,especially as to whether it is the right fit at ANY size,&nbsp; or whether I can see it differently IRL and also movement, especially for flowy dresses and pants. And then, different people also like to wear their items more fitted or more fluid.&nbsp;</p> <p>So, enjoy your dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-dress-1#post-2124154 Fri, 29 May 2020 11:19:00 +0000 Jules 2124154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the same thought as Shevia - do you wear your hair up at all? I love the colour. And while it’s a lot of dress it also appears light and breezy. It looks comfortable to wear and like you are comfortable wearing it, if that makes sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-dress-1#post-2124130 Fri, 29 May 2020 05:57:18 +0000 rachylou 2124130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s way fab on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-dress-1#post-2124125 Fri, 29 May 2020 05:37:37 +0000 notsaf 2124125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this dress and it send to fit you prefectly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-dress-1#post-2124116 Fri, 29 May 2020 03:23:32 +0000 Debbie 2124116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like it and was afraid the length was make me me look shorter.

I think it fits really well. There is enough structure at the top and the length is right to maintain a polished yet casual look IMHO. I hope you keep it and wear it with confidence! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-dress-1#post-2124079 Thu, 28 May 2020 22:53:40 +0000 Anonymous 2124079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with Jenni too. Could you have this one shortened just a bit after pinning it up a few inches to see what you think? The tiers may make it too tricky. A whole tier seems like too much, but ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-dress-1#post-2124078 Thu, 28 May 2020 22:46:15 +0000 Debbie 2124078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank-you ladies! I am on the fence, I love the idea of the dress but it may not work. I am sure there are other dresses out there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-dress-1#post-2124065 Thu, 28 May 2020 20:22:29 +0000 slim cat 2124065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the length is working - I can see your ankles, sparkly slides and your red pedicure. It fits in the shoulders and bust, and it could shrink a little bit in the washing machine ( potentially ). So I like it a bit on the longer side on you. Color is great!<br />Agree with @Christina F. on movement and swish . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-dress-1#post-2124060 Thu, 28 May 2020 19:49:54 +0000 Anonymous 2124060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not a fan to be honest. &nbsp;I agree with Jenni on this one. &nbsp;The colour is fine, but..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-dress-1#post-2124057 Thu, 28 May 2020 19:38:09 +0000 Preppy Pear 2124057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it! It’s hard for me to tell from the camera angle exactly where it hits you at the leg/ankle, so there’s that. The red color is really terrific on you. I did prefer the petite length on another poster but I did like the longer (regular) length as well...<br /> I have the lighter blue calico print and I think Christina has a really good point about the dress in person - it’s so light and swooshy that it isn’t as overwhelming as one might think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-dress-1#post-2124054 Thu, 28 May 2020 19:29:00 +0000 Jenni NZ 2124054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks too overwhelming to me Debbie, but the colour suits you so much that maybe being a bit overwhelmed is OK? I think longer dresses are fashionable ATM... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-dress-1#post-2124053 Thu, 28 May 2020 19:27:55 +0000 Christina F. 2124053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I like it!</div><div><br /></div><div>I have this dress and, I get the people who say (on this and other threads about it) that it's a lot of dress. However, I think it seems less overwhelming in person, on an actual body in motion. Camera angle may also have something to do with it. It would be hard to hem, though, if not impossible so you have to feel good about the length yourself, Debbie.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-dress-1#post-2124052 Thu, 28 May 2020 19:23:34 +0000 unfrumped 2124052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color, but not sure if you need something more petite, shorter hem or streamlined?

I don't think it's too long for a summery dress. Sometimes the photo angle makes a fuller skirt look longer--at least that's what I've found with my photos. In fact, I think it looks rather elegant on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-dress-1#post-2124041 Thu, 28 May 2020 18:21:02 +0000 Debbie 2124041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I stalked and bought this Madewell dress in my color for the year. What do you think? Is it too long ? Thanks for looking! </p>
