Thanks for your opinion.</p> <p>I went to Macy’s yesterday and returned all but the grey polka dot and the first one. (I kept the two from the other post). I tried on the polka dot dress in the morning and it fit better! I also looked around Macy’s to see if there were any more there, but there weren’t. I kept the first one because it looks fab with my denim jacket. The floral didn’t seem right, even though the fit was good. The bell sleeve one and the last one didn’t wow me enough to keep.</p> <p>Thank you to everyone who offered an opinion. It really helped me figure this out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-several-more-dresses/page/2#post-1925812 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 14:55:27 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1925812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 7 and it doesn't look too short to me but we all have our comfort zones. Also love 13, especially the neckline. #1 is fine, and I like it. I feel very strongly about the floral, and if you were my irl friend I'd yell at you that you are snazzier than that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-several-more-dresses/page/2#post-1925080 Sun, 03 Jun 2018 20:53:35 +0000 JAileen 1925080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, thank you.

Please stalk it. I think you will prefer a smidge more room. Did you go to the local Macy’s? I was just in and think I remember a rack ful, but it may have been petites. Maybe try a size or even 2 up in petite since they always seem to run smaller in dresses. I know you aren’t petite in height, but the length of the skirt might still work?</p> <p>My next favorites are the blue floral as well as the 1st chevron stripe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-several-more-dresses/page/2#post-1924801 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 18:41:19 +0000 3style 1924801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mainelady, you’ve inspired me regarding the sweater clips. There are a few cardigans that I am slightly tired of that could really benefit from that. I’m thinking that Etsy will likely have some for sale. Alas, I need to get my bras sorted before I get into buying more of the fun stuff in near term. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-several-more-dresses/page/2#post-1924783 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 16:25:08 +0000 Mainelady 1924783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am loving that polka dot dress on you! I also think the belted floral is worth keeping. Both sleeveless, but differnt vibes. I could see the floral with a cute cropped cardi....you don’t happen to have any sweater clips from the 50s do you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-several-more-dresses#post-1924757 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 14:30:33 +0000 delurked 1924757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, feet dragging should indeed be considered a decision. It doesn’t matter if it takes a good picture if you don’t feel your best in it. Only you know the right choices for your life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-several-more-dresses#post-1924756 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 14:28:00 +0000 JAileen 1924756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your thoughts. The polka dot dress has not come back into stock. It feels too body con rather than physically uncomfortable, although definitely too snug. </p> <p>The pink belt is removable and I have a wider and paler pink belt that I could use on the flowered dress. Although it fits very well, I’m not sure if I love it or how it looks on me. We’re having hot weather this week and I have an event I could wear it to, so I should hurry up and decide. My feet dragging might be my decision.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-several-more-dresses#post-1924639 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 00:25:54 +0000 Staysfit 1924639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is 7-9. I see what LisaP means by the bad pattern matching on the back, but that doesn’t bother me too much. The dress fits you well and of all the choices I think it’s the most flattering. it’s a fresh modern look that stands out in a positive way. It stands out from the crowd but it isn’t garish, or attention seeking in a way that will draw gawking stares. It just looks great. The polka dot dress looks tight in the arm holes in front. There’s subtle pulling and puckering under your arms. I bet it feels snug and not too comfy. Is it something that would stretch a bit over time? If so, maybe it’s worth keeping, but my inclination would be to try a larger size and alter the dress, or to pass and keep looking. I can see the appeal of the first dress which several people have said might be okay for very hot days. I might pass up that dress and find one that fills that need if it exists but also brings you great happiness. There’s nothing better than a favorite loose summer dress on a hot day! Why settle for something less than..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-several-more-dresses#post-1924600 Fri, 01 Jun 2018 22:04:29 +0000 3style 1924600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m wondering if you have found that the pink belt on the light blue floral dress is removable. I like the dress but not the belt. Belt seems a bit narrow for an adult and veers too much into costume territory for my taste. I think a slightly wider and more textured belt would be nicer on you. I think that all of the dresses look nice on you. You don’t seem as physically comfortable in the last dress so I’m thinking maybe it doesn’t have enough structure for your style? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-several-more-dresses#post-1924586 Fri, 01 Jun 2018 20:07:31 +0000 cjh 1924586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Many opinions here. FWIW, I say keep the first one. Great summer casual dress which could be dressed up with sparkly jewelry and metallic sandals, or stay casual with leather sandals and straw bag. The floral is pretty and looks like it fits well, so keep it&nbsp;if you like florals and it feels like you. I also say the polka dot looks too small, and for some reason a bit dated to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-several-more-dresses#post-1924483 Fri, 01 Jun 2018 13:31:40 +0000 Karin L H 1924483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love polka dots so am a huge fan of that dress! And to me it looks like it fits perfectly! But if it’s not comfortable enough I guess it’s best to return. If you don’t like the one with the big sleeves I think you should return it. All others I think are ok, but polka dots is most wow! I quite like the first as a casual summer dress too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-several-more-dresses#post-1924209 Thu, 31 May 2018 15:19:55 +0000 JAileen 1924209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, ladies.

And also the Floral dress.&nbsp;</p> <p>Florals are all about having fun with fashion and embracing the joy and romance of spring. Perhaps this is why the floral trend is one that just won’t go away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-several-more-dresses#post-1924084 Thu, 31 May 2018 01:53:23 +0000 Column 1924084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a fan of 7-9 and would totally wear it. The shorter length showing your great legs adds to the nice shoulder and neckline structure. I love the sleeves! Might multitask as a tunic over black or white skinnies or even crops </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-several-more-dresses#post-1924054 Thu, 31 May 2018 00:11:28 +0000 Anonymous 1924054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Big fan of 4/5 and 10-12.</div><div>I think 1/3 is nice for casual</div><div>7 &amp; 14&nbsp; I am "meh" on for you<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-several-more-dresses#post-1923956 Wed, 30 May 2018 15:37:59 +0000 Sara L. 1923956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first one as a comfy casual dress.&nbsp; I also really like the last one - that's right up my alley and I would wear it all winter long.&nbsp; Too bad the polka dot one is too snug because I like how it looks on you.&nbsp; The floral one is very flattering but the pattern isn't my favorite.&nbsp; Patterns are so subjective though that my opinion shouldn't count for much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-several-more-dresses#post-1923953 Wed, 30 May 2018 15:18:41 +0000 JAileen 1923953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve added links to the original post.</p> <p>First of all, I want to thank you all for your thoughtful comments. I know looking at fit and color in small pictures can be hard. So I appreciate you taking the time to look at these dresses and offering your opinions.</p> <p>My favorite, the grey polka dot one, definitely feels snug. I plan to stalk it, but I don’t have high hopes. However, you never know. The first one is rayon and spandex. Is rayon comfy in hot weather? I do live in a dry climate, though. The flowered one fits in with my pink complement. As for it looking vintagey, I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing, for my style. I’ll have to think it over. I’m also having second thoughts about 7-9. Maybe it would make a good party dress. I have a lot to think about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-several-more-dresses#post-1923941 Wed, 30 May 2018 14:15:02 +0000 texstyle 1923941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Suz here - I also like the retro 7-9 look quite a lot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-several-more-dresses#post-1923938 Wed, 30 May 2018 13:56:35 +0000 Christina F. 1923938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I agree with those above who say the polka dot dress does look too snug. Since you also feel it's snug on, I'd send it back - but it's a great style for you, for sure.</div><div><br /></div><div>#10 is a keeper! I also like the first one, because sometimes we need a loose JFE dress to throw when it's very hot.

Not loving the proportions or fabrication on #7 and #13.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-several-more-dresses#post-1923930 Wed, 30 May 2018 13:33:59 +0000 kellygirl 1923930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 and 2 are my faves. The easy style of 1 make it look like a great warm weather casual dress. Seems like you could make dress it up or down. Love the dotted dress--the fit/length is perfect. The mod dress is fun. The print is gorgeous and the fit is good. Is this a summer dress in your climate? The floral fits well but I'm not crazy about the print. It reads more conservative than I'm used to seeing you in. The tie dye dress is nice--I could see it with tall boots in the fall. Great to see you in all of these dresses. I love dress posts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-several-more-dresses#post-1923929 Wed, 30 May 2018 13:31:00 +0000 Angie 1923929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#10 to 12 - KILLER slam dunk. WOW fit.<b> LOVE.</b></p> <p>#1 to 3 is perfect for hot non-sunny weather with no a/c. Looks great.&nbsp;</p> <p>Polka dot frock I fear is too snug around the bust, arm and back. I love the vibe on you though. I vote return the rest, and keep the other two dresses from an earlier thread too.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Janet</b>, please provide the Finds when you have a moment.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-several-more-dresses#post-1923853 Wed, 30 May 2018 03:10:05 +0000 Anonymous 1923853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun! My favorites are 1 -3and 4-6. 10-12 is lovely for spring. I like 13-15 and wish it were a tiny bit longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-several-more-dresses#post-1923849 Wed, 30 May 2018 02:59:37 +0000 Kathie 1923849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer both of the ones in your last post to the polka dot or 10-12. The polka dot does seem a bit snug through the back. 1-3 is fine, if you need something super casual and loose, but I think you can do better. I’m with Suz on 7-9. If you have somewhere to wear it, then keep it! It’s definitely a wild card. 13-15 is also Ok, but I think you could probably find something better. I agree that the neckline could be more flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-several-more-dresses#post-1923828 Wed, 30 May 2018 01:11:04 +0000 Suz 1923828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is wonderful! Remember when <b>Sally</b> did a similar dress try-on a few years' back? It's so instructive to see a variety of styles on the same person.&nbsp;</p> <p>My personal favourite is also the polka dot for its modern retro appeal. But you say it does not fit well? The only place I can notice any potential issue is the back, where there seems to be extra folds of fabric or some pulling. But it is hard to tell whether that's just because of your pose to take the picture. What is the dress made from?&nbsp;</p> <p>Dress #1 has potential as a very hot weather item if you have a need for such a thing -- depending of course on what it is made from.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm the outlier (so far) because I kind of love 7-9. I'm imagining it with a cute low heeled slingback and some dangling earrings. Very Laugh-In mod. I'd wear that dress in a heartbeat! And I think it looks good on you. But it's a real party kind of dress.&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree that the fit of the floral is lovely but it looks straight on vintage. Which is fine, if that's the look you want, but it seems a bit out of your style wheelhouse. I think you can do better than the last one for the purpose you name.&nbsp; </p>
