But I'm afraid I'm not quite feeling the style of this one on you.&nbsp;<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nurse-ratched-dress#post-927466 Wed, 08 May 2013 13:10:24 +0000 texstyle 927466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Keep looking - this one fits and all but doesn't do you justice. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nurse-ratched-dress#post-927464 Wed, 08 May 2013 12:56:03 +0000 Anonymous 927464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with La Belle that it may work with that skirt style if the top were a round neck and maybe sleeveless, though you couldn't go far wrong with a sheath style. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nurse-ratched-dress#post-927351 Wed, 08 May 2013 04:21:48 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 927351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the fit of the skirt on you, it showcases your legs beautifully!&nbsp; But I'm not loving the top half of the dress.&nbsp; &nbsp; I think it's the collar - there is too much fabric in the collar and shoulders. &nbsp;&nbsp; It's somehow taking away from your lovely bosom and hourglass shape, that most women would kill for, and shortening your neck.<br /><br />I think if this dress were collarless and/or sleeveless, you would have your dress. <br /><br />Put me on Team Keep Looking.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nurse-ratched-dress#post-927312 Wed, 08 May 2013 02:39:34 +0000 Carole 927312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This seems somewhat matronly to me. I vote for something for modern, a sheath would be awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nurse-ratched-dress#post-927304 Wed, 08 May 2013 02:30:55 +0000 sarah 927304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I do like the title of your post, however! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nurse-ratched-dress#post-927271 Wed, 08 May 2013 02:00:42 +0000 Angie 927271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ How about a white sheath dress instead? <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nurse-ratched-dress#post-927251 Wed, 08 May 2013 01:40:06 +0000 bj1111 927251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ whoa, that's a lot of white. &nbsp;i think slimmer or in linen as you initially thought.<br /><br />don't settle. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nurse-ratched-dress#post-927184 Wed, 08 May 2013 00:14:08 +0000 Thistle 927184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really think you can do better. I would keep looking. White dresses are so tough. You don't want to look like a bride or a nurse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nurse-ratched-dress#post-927173 Tue, 07 May 2013 23:58:43 +0000 Caro in Oz 927173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm not loving this I vote keep looking. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nurse-ratched-dress#post-927155 Tue, 07 May 2013 23:33:36 +0000 rachylou 927155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Boy, I have to say I think this is a tough one to style. The pull from the Big Nurse gravitational field is strong... I'm thinking you're not willing to wear high-heeled gladiator sandals, which may not be able to stand-up to the ponte in any case, right?<br /><br />I think the key would be to channel Angelina Jolie doing St. John... which I have to admit is nothing short of powerful wizardry. I've tried to figure out what she does to take away the dowdy, but I'm completely unable to duplicate. If I put on anything St. John, I immediately become a short, fat, helmet-haired old lady with a lot of chintz sofas.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nurse-ratched-dress#post-927154 Tue, 07 May 2013 23:31:33 +0000 Jjsloane 927154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you. Posting this helped me see that a return label was in order. It has been printed.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nurse-ratched-dress#post-927153 Tue, 07 May 2013 23:27:01 +0000 annagybe 927153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Eh I'm not loving it. A good white dress is very hard to find. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nurse-ratched-dress#post-927152 Tue, 07 May 2013 23:25:30 +0000 kellygirl 927152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I dunno about this one. The shape and fit is flattering.&nbsp;You could roll the sleeves up and change out the belt and it could be pretty awesome. (Is this a spring dress? I'd prefer white-white for summer.) This looks like a good winter white for cooler weather. Pop on one of your fab jackets and you are ready to go.&nbsp;<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nurse-ratched-dress#post-927150 Tue, 07 May 2013 23:19:49 +0000 Mia 927150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White dresses are so hard to find! I think yours is still out there. One that will better showcase those lovely slim shapely legs of yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nurse-ratched-dress#post-927148 Tue, 07 May 2013 23:16:52 +0000 Parsley 927148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love a white dress, but I'm afraid the Louise Fletcher resemblance is just too great with this one. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nurse-ratched-dress#post-927145 Tue, 07 May 2013 23:14:22 +0000 rae 927145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hm, although I DO love Nurse Ratched, it is a pretty close likeness with the long sleeves and collar. Definitely remove the brooch. Could you unbutton it one more? And maybe add a necklace or scarf? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nurse-ratched-dress#post-927137 Tue, 07 May 2013 23:04:29 +0000 Jjsloane 927137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really want a white dress, but have not been finding what I want. I tried a linen sheath and it was not a good fit (haven't given up, just haven't found another that is long enough yet). This one is more interesting, but can I style it so I don't look like Nurse Ratched (#2)&nbsp;or just move on?&nbsp;<br />Pros: Ponte knit with great drape and no bust gape<br />Cons: not white white (more ivory) and so not&nbsp;sure how to make it work worthy<br /><br />Shown with Ted Baker leopard pumps.&nbsp;I would definitely&nbsp;change out the self belt for something metallic or? and remove the enormous brooch that came with it. Could it work?&nbsp;Does it look too top heavy?
