Am leaning toward returning the gold too ( sorry Angie) but I'm going to look for a different shape gold topper!</p> <p>And, well, I'd I happen upon a better dress...then I won't be complaining. Still need shoes too... Don't think I can justify the $269 fluevogs for parties only. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sequin-jacket-edition#post-786586 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 04:17:45 +0000 catgirl 786586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, now I'm going to be the person right after Angie saying I agree with you that the gold is not flattering your lovely shape. But something similar with a little more structure would be perfect. The black is too blah for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sequin-jacket-edition#post-786518 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 02:41:09 +0000 Angie 786518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gold by about a billion percent. KILLER! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sequin-jacket-edition#post-786422 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 23:48:18 +0000 crazyone 786422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the gold is marginally better (BJ1111 nailed with the black one being an "old lady" jacket), but I agree, keep looking. The gold is a fantastic color, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sequin-jacket-edition#post-786353 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 21:44:42 +0000 Suz 786353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a bummer, eh? The gold one had great possibilities and looks fab from the back. But Bj is right..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sequin-jacket-edition#post-786348 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 21:39:20 +0000 Thistle 786348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really don't think either of these work for you. You got some great tips above, so I would say keep looking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sequin-jacket-edition#post-786252 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 20:05:51 +0000 bj1111 786252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think the lace will work since it is all over the runway and stores?</p> <p>have you posted it before? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sequin-jacket-edition#post-786239 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 19:45:36 +0000 JR 786239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think the bolero is going to work in any size. The problem is the cut. It makes you look very triangular, the way the opening spreads from top to bottom.</p> <p>The other is better, but then, I am a middle-aged woman... LOL! Still, I agree that it isn't ideal for you. The way the front hangs is neither fish nor fowl. It's not a waterfall front, and it doesn't lie nicely flat either. It just looks poorly designed.</p> <p>In a pinch, a nice long shiny pashmina-type shawl could work well, methinks. But that is perhaps too old lady too. I'm afraid I always rely on younger eyes to help me figure those things out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sequin-jacket-edition#post-786147 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 17:57:34 +0000 Transcona Shannon 786147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the gold colour for you and I like it from the back but the front doesn't quite work with that dress. I agree with the others that this particular black one reads a little old on sweet you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sequin-jacket-edition#post-786144 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 17:55:15 +0000 Diana 786144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sigh... was really hoping i would NOT have to buy another dress for this stupid party. If I do, it's going to be one with sleeves so I wouldn't need a jacket at all. But, BJ, I think you are right, and the dress may only work without anything over it. My other LBD, the Allsaints dress, is lace and doesn't feel seasonally appropriate at all. This is for my fiance's work holiday party (full of his coworkers whom I haven't met) so I don't want to do anything too out there (i.e. probably not my giant silver ball skirt). I figured LBD was my best bet. </p> <p>Janet, I'm pretty sure in a larger size the shoulders would fall off... </p> <p>I think it sounds like you all agree with me and I should return both of these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sequin-jacket-edition#post-786137 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 17:50:21 +0000 rae 786137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the gold one and how it pops with black! But I agree that there is TMGO in the neck area with this particular dress. Too much competition for attention right there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sequin-jacket-edition#post-786133 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 17:47:48 +0000 Janet 786133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with bj. I'm not sure either one of these is working with the neckline. And it's a tricky neckline to begin with. I like the bolero but am not sure about the fit -- I would be curious to see it a size larger. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sequin-jacket-edition#post-786129 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 17:45:27 +0000 Atlantia 786129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to the gold color, but no that particular one. I like the bolero shape, too, but it isn't working with the dress.<br /> Good ideas, but I think you need to keep shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sequin-jacket-edition#post-786128 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 17:44:06 +0000 bj1111 786128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you know what...you need more of your chest above the neckline to show. the dress does not work because of the criss cross straps. shortens your neckline.</p> <p>try with another dress and show me! i think you could make it work with lots and lots of stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sequin-jacket-edition#post-786122 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 17:41:19 +0000 Diana 786122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BJ, OMG you are so right about the black jacket being "old"! I was trying to figure out why I felt dumpy, and I've just realized it's because it looks like a dumpy middle-aged woman jacket! </p> <p>I agree about the gold bolero not working with the dress... I think I need something with strong shoulders. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sequin-jacket-edition#post-786111 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 17:27:47 +0000 bj1111 786111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love the bolero, but only with the jeans outfit. less sold on pairing it with this particular dress. the black sequin is too old for you. you need something FUN! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sequin-jacket-edition#post-786108 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 17:26:17 +0000 Diana 786108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last week I ordered two sequined jackets to go with my LBD for a holiday party. Well, they have arrived and here they are. I tried them with the LBD in question as well as with jeans and a tee. I suspect that both actually look better with the jeans, but if I keep either it MUST work with the LBD as that is their purpose! </p> <p>1-5: eliza J gold sequin bolero from Nordie's. I'm not sure about the shape on me; I think it may emphasize my sloping shoulders. It's the right size but does it look too small? </p> <p>6-10: black sequin jacket from AE. These are the least shiny sequins I have ever seen and for that reason I find it a little too dull. Also, possibly too long? This one IS actually slightly small in the shoulder/bicep area but I don't think it shows. </p> <p>So, is either of these a keeper or should I keep looking? </p>
