I agree that the blue is the better fit on you--so pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-midi-dresses#post-2123886 Thu, 28 May 2020 05:42:00 +0000 Zaeobi 2123886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colour of the red one (very flattering on you!) but prefer the fit of the navy, lol. Could be worth chasing up the red in a petite fit?</p> <p>I do agree that both styles are 'a lot of dress' if you don't usually wear that much volume, though. Maybe try adding a waist belt or crossbody bag for structure? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-midi-dresses#post-2123875 Thu, 28 May 2020 04:09:11 +0000 Anonymous 2123875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of the two, I like the navy print best. The red seems overwhelming on you, and maybe too long (and I am a big fan of midi dresses). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-midi-dresses#post-2123872 Thu, 28 May 2020 03:38:16 +0000 Debbie 2123872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the blue one on you. Seems like a keeper to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-midi-dresses#post-2123813 Wed, 27 May 2020 22:39:31 +0000 Helena 2123813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another blue vote! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-midi-dresses#post-2123796 Wed, 27 May 2020 21:30:09 +0000 Grace 2123796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All, thanks for your thoughtful input.&nbsp; Synne and Lisa P., I will do some outfit creation with the blue dress and different types of shoes and see how it goes.&nbsp; The red dress is definitely out.&nbsp; I appreciate everyone's feedback! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-midi-dresses#post-2123761 Wed, 27 May 2020 19:09:05 +0000 Synne 2123761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue fits perfectly! I'm with LisaP, isn't this shape quite bold of a move for someone who doesn't wear much dresses? I rarely wear dresses my self. It has to be a unicorn for me to wear it! But if you love it and can think of many occasions to wear it, by all means grab it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-midi-dresses#post-2123754 Wed, 27 May 2020 18:25:09 +0000 Angie 2123754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both colours, but the blue is a better fit. BLUE! Killer fun!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-midi-dresses#post-2123744 Wed, 27 May 2020 17:57:29 +0000 Preppy Pear 2123744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The petite fit!

The red completely overwhelms you. &nbsp;Are you really sold on this style though ? It's still a lot of dress..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-midi-dresses#post-2123619 Wed, 27 May 2020 07:57:13 +0000 Jenni NZ 2123619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with the others, the blue looks better- can see some pretty ankle and looks less overwhelming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-midi-dresses#post-2123583 Wed, 27 May 2020 02:45:09 +0000 Jaime 2123583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue print! The red is overwhelming your frame a bit too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-midi-dresses#post-2123582 Wed, 27 May 2020 02:44:26 +0000 unfrumped 2123582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue is really great. It fits you well and though casual, has a nicely effortless drape to it. The print with bit of light in the dark blue is enlivening.<br /> Do keep! I think it will be easy to find ways to wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-midi-dresses#post-2123579 Wed, 27 May 2020 02:37:44 +0000 Grace 2123579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>rachylou, Tina, and slim cat,</p> <p>Thanks for your feedback.&nbsp; For about five minutes I considered alterations to the brick red one, but hemming the length would make the tiers uneven...and who knows when alterations will be a possibility again given social distancing...</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-midi-dresses#post-2123574 Wed, 27 May 2020 02:28:56 +0000 rachylou 2123574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me the red is a little more flattering because it drapes a little more. But the difference is infinitesimal. I frankly love em both </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-midi-dresses#post-2123567 Wed, 27 May 2020 02:09:18 +0000 Tina 2123567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Casting my vote for the blue print! It looks really good with the sandals and the fit is much better. I’m 5’3” as well and it’s often a toss up which is better, regular or petite. With these dresses it is quite obvious that the petite gives you a better fit. The colour may actually be okay, right now the overall size makes it harder to judge that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-midi-dresses#post-2123563 Wed, 27 May 2020 01:15:33 +0000 slim cat 2123563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dark blue in petite size is fitting better ( length wise and shoulders ). The darker color is working really well with your sandals and gives overall dressier look. That's a keeper . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-midi-dresses#post-2123560 Wed, 27 May 2020 01:08:56 +0000 Grace 2123560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Phoebe, kellygirl, and Windchime, thanks for your feedback.&nbsp; Full-length anything (dresses, pants, etc.) often are too long in regular sizes... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-midi-dresses#post-2123555 Wed, 27 May 2020 00:53:59 +0000 Windchime 2123555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the blue is wonderful with your skin tone, even if we can’t see your face. &nbsp;:) &nbsp;It looks like a winner for a light summer dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-midi-dresses#post-2123553 Wed, 27 May 2020 00:47:18 +0000 Anonymous 2123553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Prefer the blue, the fit is much better and the color is more flattering against your skin. I support your experimenting with color though, maybe a cooler red and a smaller dose? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-midi-dresses#post-2123550 Wed, 27 May 2020 00:41:51 +0000 kellygirl 2123550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the blue print! Fun summer dress. Looks easy and breezy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-madewell-midi-dresses#post-2123549 Wed, 27 May 2020 00:29:01 +0000 Grace 2123549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello, any advice about the two dresses? Navy print is a petite M and red is a regular M. I’m 5’3”, with short arms/torso and broad shoulders. I usually wear clear jewel tones, black, and silver, so the brick red is a departure for me, and I rarely wear dresses. Still shy about having my face in photos. Is either dress a winner? Thanks for your input! </p>
