I'm unsure of the too tent-like back fit from the photo. Could be just fine in person, though. </p> <p>I don't think the frock is casual, but it's totally wearable for every day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-royal-blue-summer-dress#post-1667652 Thu, 26 May 2016 17:06:39 +0000 AviaMariah 1667652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You all are probably addressing another issue for me. It's not as casual as say, a Tshirt dress. &nbsp;I'd see myself wearing it for outdoor events like outdoor graduations, going out to eat at an outdoor venue, outdoor concert. &nbsp;As far as the fabric goes - I'm terrible at taking in consideration fabric content. &nbsp;So thank you for that reminder. &nbsp;I'm not sure if it would be too hot or not? But I keep asking myself the same question as delurked - would I reach for this instead of something else I already have. &nbsp;I'll have to think on it some more. &nbsp;I'm still leaning toward returning it but you've given me more to think about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-royal-blue-summer-dress#post-1667646 Thu, 26 May 2016 16:51:55 +0000 BrieN 1667646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's interesting. To my eye, the chiffon material, more classic cut, and flutter sleeves say dressy-- like wear to a wedding dressy -- but the loose fit says casual. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-royal-blue-summer-dress#post-1667645 Thu, 26 May 2016 16:44:47 +0000 RobinF 1667645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the fabric makes it seem a little dressy. I could see it for a casual wedding or church on Sunday but not a backyard barbecue, so it kind of depends on how you think you would use it. I am also not a huge fan of the flutter sleeves on me, they look too cutesy, but I don't mind them on you. I do like the straight fit and pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-royal-blue-summer-dress#post-1667626 Thu, 26 May 2016 16:09:58 +0000 Joyce B 1667626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks very nice on you but the sleeves kind of stick up instead of draping which I would prefer. That's not necessarily a deal breaker but it depends on how much it bothers you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-royal-blue-summer-dress#post-1667619 Thu, 26 May 2016 16:00:30 +0000 Anonymous 1667619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you in my head today? I've considered this dress many times as I love the color and print. I ruled it out since I have wide shoulders and am tall, and goodness knows I don't need another short dress. </p> <p>I like the dress most in the front pic. It's harder for me to tell if it's too voluminous from the back. My question is - can you see yourself reaching for this instead of something else to wear casually? It can certainly be more dressy, but the shoes could dress it down. I like dresses and find them very easy, but I certainly get the "oh, you dressed up" comments from others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-royal-blue-summer-dress#post-1667612 Thu, 26 May 2016 15:51:21 +0000 Suz 1667612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, funny, I was thinking that, too -- it's on the dressy side. But maybe also because I couldn't wear it without AC and my house isn't AC'd...but also the chiffon like fabric reads as dressy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-royal-blue-summer-dress#post-1667607 Thu, 26 May 2016 15:46:24 +0000 Anonymous 1667607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's pretty ! But it doesn't give me a casual easy dress vibe &nbsp;at all. &nbsp;In fact, it looks like something I'd wear to an outdoor wedding, with high heels. &nbsp;Am I completely misreading it from the photo? The fabric and sleeves look delicate and dressy...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-royal-blue-summer-dress#post-1667604 Thu, 26 May 2016 15:45:05 +0000 Suz 1667604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, it's <b>lovely</b> on you -- such a pretty colour and interesting pattern.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love everything about it (hey, do I need one, too?)&nbsp;</p> <p>EXCEPT, I, like you, am not a fan of flutter sleeves. I really don't like them on myself. I don't think they look bad on you here, not at all -- they are feminine and pretty! But I think I know the feeling you might be having and I know this would kill the dress for me personally. So I guess you have to consult your heart. In terms of flattery, it's great - it's all in how it feels for your style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-royal-blue-summer-dress#post-1667602 Thu, 26 May 2016 15:43:52 +0000 JAileen 1667602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks cute on you. The model must be well over 6 feet tall. I was concerned about the length. The length looks good on you. I think the fit is good, too. It looks kind of breezy. Does it feel breezy? It's polyester which isn't very comfortable in heat and humidity. Would that be a problem? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-royal-blue-summer-dress#post-1667596 Thu, 26 May 2016 15:34:13 +0000 AviaMariah 1667596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I needs the forum's wisdom. I don't post many k/r because I usually decide very quickly (for better or for worse) if I'm going to keep something. I have this dress in a bag to return but I keep coming back to it. I don't really "need" a summer dress for anything in particular but did want to add one or two this year to have them on hand for casual gatherings when it's hot and I don't want to resort to shorts.<br /> Pros of this dress:<br /> love the color<br /> Doesn't have to be dry cleaned (this is a must at this time in my life)<br /> Is very airy and light, great for hot weather<br /> I think the flutter sleeves help balance my narrow shoulders</p> <p> Cons:<br /> It's a little tent like from the side but it moves well and I think looks better IRL than the photos. I don't think I'd want to take the sides in because that kind of defeats the purpose of having an easy, breezy dress.<br /> I'm not sure I "like" the flutter sleeves. They seem a little too dainty (?), precious (?) for me. But maybe I just need to step out of my comfort zone.<br /> honest opinions. I don't have to add a dress and I really don't want something that's just ok. </p>
