It is so great to have so many friends on YLF!</p> <p>After your united accolades to this dress it feels that even thinking about returning it would be a crime so I am cutting off the tags! I even thought of wearing it tomorrow but weather interfered. I hope I can wear it on Thursday (you know I am on the Team Wear Now, right?) AJ, I am already working on creating occasions to wear this dress out!<br /> I will keep the tags on the jacket a bit longer and play with it in my closet. If it works well with my existing wardrobe I will keep it. I think the way slit was coming apart in the picture was because of the way I was standing: I don't see this in the mirror at all. This jacket fits well in the hips, not too tight at all so I think it should not be a problem. I am going to wear it open most of the time. It may be a bit big in the chest, I will consult with my mom if it can be altered but it is not too bad as is.<br /> My biggest concern was if it is too short on the back as it is definitely shorter on me than on the model. However Angie blesses it so it must be fine! I think I should take QM's approach and begin to be a bit more relaxed about my rear view :-)</p> <p>Thank you all again - you are the best! Oh, and happy belated birthday, lyn67, my birthday week twin!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today/page/2#post-487567 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 00:42:20 +0000 rachylou 487567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Birthday Sveta!!!

You are one of my fashion Muses here on YLF - from your fantastic leather jackets to your beautiful use of color!</p> <p>I love both items on you, but of course the jacket is what really makes me swoon. The fit, the curved hem, the versatile color: perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today/page/2#post-487381 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:26:43 +0000 Janet 487381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually believe that for the vent in the back of this jacket to lie perfectly closed, the wearer would need to be extremely slim-hipped, or the jacket would be too big. I think it's just the way it's cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today/page/2#post-487376 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:23:15 +0000 catgirl 487376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm pretty sure you're convinced to keep the dress. KEEP. You look unbelievable in it.</p> <p>I like the jacket too - nothing exciting but a great fit and nice workhorse. I've had it in my wishlist forever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today/page/2#post-487375 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:23:01 +0000 HelenInCanada 487375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep, keep Sveta! The dress AND jacket look amazing on you! DO. NOT. RETURN. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today/page/2#post-487362 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:00:02 +0000 Jonesy 487362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is gorgeous on you!! Couldn't be any better! I really love the jacket too. Happy Belated Birthday, Sveta! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today/page/2#post-487359 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 19:51:05 +0000 Anonymous 487359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it's easy to follow Angie's comment because now I have the *answers*, but I was going to say that I love the red dress on you, too! Color: fab. Cut: fab. Length: fab. Legs: a mile long! I just with I could see you twirl around in it!</p> <p>The jacket fits like a dream, and though the vent separating in back gave me pause, it will look fine in motion and open in front. It is a miniscule thing and if you got the larger size, the whole blazer would have to be remade to fit you as well as this one does. Wear in good health, and Happy Birthday, dear Sveta! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today/page/2#post-487137 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 15:28:30 +0000 Angie 487137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER dress</p> <p>KILLER jacket</p> <p>Now all I want to see on you are midis! I knew this would happen </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today/page/2#post-487128 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 15:24:06 +0000 Queen Mum 487128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say these are both keepers. THe dress is all sorts of fabulousness and I love the jacket equally as well. My take on the back is that while you're in movement or sitting, it's not really going to matter, is it? I'm a little more forgiving of back fit issues than front... unless of course we're talking pulling because it's too small, but that doesn't seem to be the issue here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today#post-487084 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 14:34:16 +0000 lyn67 487084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both! Are you a dancer?:-) so gratious in one of the pictie!<br /> Dress is PERFECTION-colour, cut, length and all!!! +jacket fits you also very well! I know you love jackets, please keep both!! Many happy returns of the day-How fun, I had my birthday last week, too!:-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today#post-487067 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 13:52:15 +0000 Banana 487067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is stunning - you must keep it! Happy Birthday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today#post-487058 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 13:36:21 +0000 znip 487058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today#post-487057 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 13:27:10 +0000 Janet 487057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I understand where you're coming from with the jacket, but I really do think it's fantastic on you. I just took another look and confirmed it -- at least to my eye! </p> <p>I vacillated between the small and the medium in it -- the medium fit me more like a boyfriend jacket, which seemed to go against the lovely curved hem, which sort of begs a slightly more fitted look. The sleeves were roomier, which I found more comfortable, but it didn't look as good open as the smaller size, and I knew this was a jacket I was going to wear open more than closed. The SA thought I should go with the smaller size and pointed out that it was a little big in the body in the medium. I was a little nervous about it, but after wearing it for an hour or so, the sleeves loosened up on me, so I'm glad I went with the smaller size. </p> <p>But since I did go with the smaller version, I think mine might hit me near the same spot it hits you in the back. I think it's a flattering spot on both you and me! </p> <p>Do you envision wearing this mostly open or closed? Maybe we should see pics of it closed if you think you'll west it that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today#post-487049 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 13:14:25 +0000 Mochi 487049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The red dress is particularly stunning on you, Sveta. I also like the jacket and think you're maybe overworrying about the split? Let's see what Angie says. </p> <p>Happy birthday, fellow Sag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today#post-487046 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 13:09:48 +0000 Claudia 487046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is really wonderful on you! </p> <p>I like the jacket. Have you done Michelle's "feel the fit" test on it? Does it feel too small/not quite right on?</p> <p>Happy Belated Birthday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today#post-487044 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 12:58:18 +0000 Sona 487044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta- I love the dress on you and the riding jacket does not look too short to my eye. I think they will be wonderful additions to your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today#post-487041 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 12:47:52 +0000 rosee 487041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KEEP!!! and keep! (dress = "wow", jacket is very good but I see what concerns you too. Wait for Angie's response maybe.)</p> <p>...and a very happy (belated) birthday to you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today#post-486996 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 06:49:02 +0000 AJ 486996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You literally took my breath away with that red dress! It is just GORGEOUS on you! I thought maybe that was your own belt that you added, but to find out that it came with the dress was a nice surprise. KEEP!</p> <p>I really like the jacket too. I see what you mean about the back slit, but for me that is not a deal breaker. However, I await the verdict of dear Angie. : )</p> <p>Now you must have hubby take his Lady in Red (do you know that song?) out immediately to celebrate! : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today#post-486990 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 06:36:26 +0000 Amy 486990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry I missed your birthday, but it sounds like you had a terrific day! I hope this year is a really great one for you!</p> <p>That dress looks absolutely smashing on you. Just gorgeous. In fact, I think it's one of my favorite things I've seen on you.</p> <p>The jacket looks nice to me, and I don't think the open slit is a problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today#post-486979 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 06:19:12 +0000 Deborah 486979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, firstly Happy Birthday! Secondly.. wow! That dress is STUNNING on you. I love the color and I love the stylings. It's very feminine. I think very versatile too. I could see this going to work, to dinner, etc. You must keep. I also like it because it adds to your wardrobe as I haven't see you in anything like this before.</p> <p>I also love the jacket on you, but would defer to Angie regarding the cut and sizing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today#post-486978 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 06:05:43 +0000 Kate 486978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is beautiful on you, a real keeper. I love the jacket on you and I think the fit is perfect. I would have serious jacket envy if I had not received this cropped blue jacket from Zara today:</p> <p><a href="http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/uk/en/zara-I2011/122007/483508/DOUBLE-BREASTED%2BBLAZER" rel="nofollow">http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs.....D%2BBLAZER</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today#post-486974 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 05:52:42 +0000 kellygirl 486974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW! Sveta, what a fab Nordie's haul! I LOVE the dress. It's so perfect on you--the shape, the length, color! It's stunning. The jacket is amazing on you too. I think the fit is great. I don't think it's too small in the hips at all--in fact, it doesn't look like it needs any alteration, IMHO. I vote KEEP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today#post-486972 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 05:38:47 +0000 MNsara 486972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh how gorgeous you look in that dress!!! You have lured me out of my late-night lurking to gush about your dress The fit on you is very elegant and sophisticated and still SO on trend - MUST KEEP!!!!! </p> <p>I also adore that jacket on you. The back slit doens't bother me in the least - it's barely slit. And possibly your mom's alterations will adjust that too. I am really liking the longer back 'tail' on you, the front length is fab for you also, and the color is very versatile. . .</p> <p>Well done -- on this first Nordies order :-)</p> <p>Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I hope you're still celebrating </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today#post-486964 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 05:17:40 +0000 christy 486964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This dress is AMAZING on you! Definitely a keeper. I love the jacket from the front - I have to leave the fit question up to the experts, but personally, I think it's worth keeping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today#post-486956 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 04:46:03 +0000 velvetychocolate 486956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just adding to the chorus of Happy Birthday wishes - I hope you had a lovely time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-or-my-nordies-order-has-arrived-today#post-486952 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 04:36:54 +0000 Anonymous 486952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy, happy birthday, Sveta!!!
