I like it with all jackets and especially with those Okalas </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1240552 Sat, 03 May 2014 02:38:11 +0000 Beth Ann 1240552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific, Caro.&nbsp; I think this dress is flattering and versatile, and will play nicely with the other kids, I mean clothes,&nbsp; in your closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1240548 Sat, 03 May 2014 02:34:37 +0000 Helena 1240548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to the party, but another vote for keep </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1240360 Fri, 02 May 2014 23:25:15 +0000 Caro in Oz 1240360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aubergine - thanks for your thoughtful reply &amp; believe me I do value your opinion&nbsp;:) I really know what you mean about the dress being a backdrop for the outfit &amp; I think that is what I was looking for - my DH has&nbsp;a wide range of work functions that I attend as "&amp; partner"&nbsp;&amp; don't want&nbsp;a lot of clothes for this capsule. I thought if I could find a&nbsp;"classic trans-seasonal dress" it could be reinvented for several of these occasions. I had high hopes that it would also work in a more funky way in my real life too I think this may be the one. I just need to find one for evening now :)</p> <p>Thanks DonnaF - appreciate your honesty - if I was wearing it as in #1 I think I would open the top button &amp; make a "v" neck as I do prefer lower necklines on me too :)</p> <p>Thanks everyone. Your eyes are so helpful - the tags are coming off :)</p> <p>Thank you Angie - I always need to shorten the arms on clothes&nbsp;:)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1240198 Fri, 02 May 2014 20:41:51 +0000 shedev 1240198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it both with the toppers and as a topper. Nice versatile piece, voting keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1240136 Fri, 02 May 2014 19:45:23 +0000 Neel 1240136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It will be a workhorse! A great versatile piece as Suz says. And I like the dress sans accessories too. Great length, nice fit. I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1240133 Fri, 02 May 2014 19:42:04 +0000 dustt 1240133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>so great - especially love that you have chosen to wear it open - closed as a topper and unbelted.&nbsp; I think I'd like to see the sleeves scrunched - but it's brilliant on you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1240056 Fri, 02 May 2014 18:23:06 +0000 DonnaF 1240056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo Aubergine; I guess we're spanners here.&nbsp; I don't feel like this is your preferred style, but maybe it fits in with your current environment?&nbsp; I think I would prefer a lower neckline on you.&nbsp; It is an extremely nice dress however, and could be quite a workhorse if you want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1239839 Fri, 02 May 2014 14:49:36 +0000 Janet 1239839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love it on you, and how incredibly versatile it looks! I don't know that I've ever seen a dress worn in so many different ways that all work equally well. Seriously, please keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1239825 Fri, 02 May 2014 14:35:09 +0000 Angie 1239825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer</p> <p>Absolutely sensational. #2 to #7 are all 20 out of 10, Caroline. #1 needs a little sleeve scrunch, but that's it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1239802 Fri, 02 May 2014 14:09:46 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1239802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IMHO, this is a no brainer. You must keep Caro! It looks brilliant in all of your stylings, is extremely versatile, fits well, can be worn as a dress or as a topper, is a beautiful ink blue. LOVE IT! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1239772 Fri, 02 May 2014 13:33:54 +0000 NDMom 1239772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro, &nbsp;Please keep! &nbsp;I have a shirtdress that is similar and I have worn it in so many ways...just like you so brilliantly showed. &nbsp;I especially LOVE it as a topper over skinny pants #6. &nbsp;I think you will find it to be a workhorse for you--dressing up, down, and accessorizing. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1239754 Fri, 02 May 2014 13:19:05 +0000 Elizabeth P 1239754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMGoodness, how versitile!&nbsp; I clicked through the photos and kept thinking "man, this is the same dress?!".&nbsp; </p> <p>I do think it needs something though ie, I don't care for it on it's own, with the sleeves down.&nbsp; Sleeves rolled, with a topper, as a topper, with a scarf, etc.&nbsp; definite yes.&nbsp; I guess it's a workhorse background piece, not a star in its own right. </p> <p>Keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1239740 Fri, 02 May 2014 12:45:02 +0000 Claudia 1239740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Suz on this one: Keep, for all the reasons she stated.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1239733 Fri, 02 May 2014 12:34:16 +0000 Anonymous 1239733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first instinct is that it's a good workhorse that looks like it would be incredible useful and versatile for you, but I'm not sure it's a quite 10. Something about the extreme simplicity of the style combined with the high neckline and lack of structure makes it feel like it's nice, but sort of a solid background player rather than a piece that "makes" the outfit,&nbsp;if you know what I mean.</p> <p>Then again, I have a feeling that the pictures aren't doing true justice to the material, how it hangs, etc. And you also seem to have such a handle on your style and what works for you that I'd trust that your instinct, whether it's to keep or not, is the right one for you. So, basically, take my opinion&nbsp;with not just a grain but a whole handful of salt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1239729 Fri, 02 May 2014 12:22:58 +0000 Caro in Oz 1239729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Helenedith, the fabric is what initially drew me to the dress it is a beautiful silk with a small amount of elastain.<br />Thanks Ceit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1239727 Fri, 02 May 2014 12:20:58 +0000 missvee 1239727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit is beautiful, and the photos show just how versatile it is, so I guess my only question is do you love it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1239700 Fri, 02 May 2014 11:34:04 +0000 Anonymous 1239700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this, the length is great, and it looks versatile. The fabric looks nice too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1239696 Fri, 02 May 2014 11:24:32 +0000 Helenedith 1239696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this and the proportions appear perfect for you. You have shown how versatile it is , the only question I would have, are you happy with the quality of the fabric? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1239611 Fri, 02 May 2014 07:13:43 +0000 Caro in Oz 1239611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marmee I agree about the sleeves they do need shortening. I think that will make them look &nbsp;a lot better. Like Suz I like it sans acessories for some reason but I see what you mean.<br />Thanks Deborah.<br />Suz - I want to keep my thoughts to myself for now&nbsp;(first time for everything)<br />&nbsp;but thank you for your comments&nbsp;:)&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1239607 Fri, 02 May 2014 07:07:45 +0000 Deborah 1239607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro this looks great. One of those versatile pieces that could go anywhere depending on how you style it. I love it on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1239602 Fri, 02 May 2014 07:00:43 +0000 Suz 1239602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG. Is this even a question?&nbsp;</p> <p>What an incredibly versatile piece!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Does it feel as good as it looks? Because if it does, you have found a winner beyond measure.&nbsp;</p> <p>Let me get this straight: &nbsp;The dress can work in your winter (or at least autumn) with hose and booties (and some kind of jacket or coat). It can work in spring with bare legs and your Okalas, sleeves long or rolled, topper or not. It can work as a jacket. It can work under various coats.&nbsp;</p> <p>And it is navy/ ink blue???</p> <p>Let me grab my smelling salts.&nbsp;</p> <p>Interestingly, I feel the opposite to Marmee; I do not want a scarf of necklace in 2-3 at all. OTOH, I do see what she is saying about the long sleeves -- they feel a bit voluminous or something at full length. I wonder if there is a way to rein them in. I would probably just scrunch, but I wonder if there is a cuff if it could be made tighter.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1239599 Fri, 02 May 2014 06:54:55 +0000 Caro in Oz 1239599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone. I will wait for more comments before I give my opinion :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1239506 Fri, 02 May 2014 03:32:19 +0000 Jaime 1239506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it with the white topper, worn open, on its own...in other words keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1239501 Fri, 02 May 2014 03:28:31 +0000 Anonymous 1239501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Voting Keep. I'd love a dress like this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1239494 Fri, 02 May 2014 03:24:21 +0000 Echo 1239494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that this can be worn as a dress or as a topper itself. It looks fab, both with the booties and especially with the Okalas. I love it with the denim jacket and the Okalas. It looks like it could be a versatile, go-to item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1239493 Fri, 02 May 2014 03:24:12 +0000 Marmee 1239493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it in 4-7. &nbsp;Like it in 2/3, but would like to see something around your neck, a necklace or scarf. &nbsp;Not so sure about it with the sleeves unrolled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1239481 Fri, 02 May 2014 03:18:01 +0000 catgirl 1239481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see any issues, although I also am not feeling like forcing you to keep it or else... If you love it, it looks like a great potential workhorse. You look happy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-the-shirt-dress#post-1239476 Fri, 02 May 2014 03:13:59 +0000 Caro in Oz 1239476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for the rotten photos. It is pouring with rain but the light is bouncing off the walls - not good for taking photos.</p> <p>Would really appreciate your honest opinions about this dress for me.&nbsp;This needs to be a 10 or close to if I'm going to keep it.</p> <p>It fits well - no problems when I sit/move etc.</p> <p>It works with all my heavier coats too. The 2 coats in the photos (#5 &amp; #7)&nbsp;are linen so they are spring &amp; cooler summer outfits.&nbsp;</p> <p>Photo #6 is the dress worn open.</p> <p>Thanks for your help&nbsp;:) </p>
