I'm sure they'll disappear just as fast if/when I stop, but at least I have a new baseline. </p> <p>Don't know whether you're a novice or getting back into it, but good luck with the strength-building and its bonuses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-that-red-dress-i-was-asking-about/page/2#post-1069760 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 14:21:53 +0000 Mo 1069760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I should reiterate that I did change my bra for the video to the one I hope fits best. &nbsp;This may sound dumb, but I think I wear them wrong (lol). &nbsp;You always hear about keeping the band even or lower in back, but I think I wear them all around too low. &nbsp;Hiked up the straps and things seem a bit better. &nbsp;(That's what you get for not having a mom around growing up to teach you things like bra fit.) &nbsp;I need to look into a strapless for next year for sure. If I can solve that, a lot of my summer fit issues will be solved.&nbsp;<br />I am also embarking on a month long 100 push ups app on my Kindle, so hoping to firm up a bit, too &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-that-red-dress-i-was-asking-about/page/2#post-1069721 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 13:48:24 +0000 texstyle 1069721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The video shows that it does stay in place on you and seems to be fine for Florida - you don't look hoochie. lol.

Coming over from your other thread, to me this dress is very versatile for your lifestyle, climate, and location. Seems easy to dress up or down.</p> <p>The only thing that bugs me is the strap/bra situation, but that's a personal bias.&nbsp;</p> <p>If that bugs you at all,&nbsp;I'd either wear a tank style&nbsp;half-cami* over your bra and let those straps show, or see if I could get a tailor to widen the straps with new (maybe contrasting or printed) material. The latter is a project, I know!</p> <p>*I have had great, worth-the-money luck from&nbsp;SecondBase camis (I think they have a 15% for new customers if you ask, and they do have sales every so often).&nbsp;You can always try to hack off a cheap tank and see if it rolls up on ya.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-that-red-dress-i-was-asking-about/page/2#post-1069622 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 12:19:04 +0000 Anonymous 1069622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute dress!

(I just watched the video). This dress is more covered than a pair of&nbsp;short shorts and tank. In a casual&nbsp;FL setting, I see no concern with the skimpiness of it because it isn't skin tight and crotch scraping. And it's ideal for the beach too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Make sure you do the sit-down test and feel comfortable with it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-that-red-dress-i-was-asking-about#post-1069012 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 23:23:06 +0000 Mo 1069012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10201866394008968&amp;l=7579789978578730779">https://www.facebook.com/photo.....8578730779</a>&nbsp; Does this work? &nbsp;<br />Angie, I'm glad to hear you think it's appropriate for my needs. &nbsp;I rarely have a/c issues, but point taken. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-that-red-dress-i-was-asking-about#post-1068996 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 23:06:29 +0000 Angie 1068996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's perfect for super casual&nbsp;FL on a hot as Heck day with flat dressy gladiators are a sun hat.&nbsp;You'll freeze in a/c though, so a topper is essential when you hit the indoor fridge.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-that-red-dress-i-was-asking-about#post-1068992 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 23:01:30 +0000 D'Ellen 1068992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look super in this dress, but IMO it's a little bare for running around town.&nbsp; I love Vildy's chambray shirt suggestion.&nbsp; I think that would make it very town appropriate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-that-red-dress-i-was-asking-about#post-1068978 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 22:44:04 +0000 deb 1068978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, not a walk around the town kind of dress.
