I was trying on a wrap dress I don't wear much just this morning. I decided it fits well and I look fine, but shows off curves more than I'm used to. I&nbsp;feel too self conscious unless I figure out another way to wear it, so I'm experimenting with cropped&nbsp;cardis. Maybe try a cami, or a scarf, or a cardi, as well, and see if you like it then.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-too-large-pattern-on-wrap-dress#post-1193922 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:22:12 +0000 Wendy45 1193922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this dress looks great on you. I like the pattern too. If you feel uncomfortable with the neckline, try a camisole. But really, looks like it fits you like a glove. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-too-large-pattern-on-wrap-dress#post-1193920 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:18:15 +0000 Windchime 1193920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pattern looks perfectly proportioned for you, to my eye, and this is a super look on you! If you're feeling self conscious, do try it with a cami and post again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-too-large-pattern-on-wrap-dress#post-1193911 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:07:02 +0000 gardenchick 1193911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you again everyone for all the feedback. I'm a little shocked.<br /> Even a thumbs up from Angie!<br /> All of you have made my day, week, etc :-)<br /> It would be outside my comfort zone to wear this dress to work. The encouragement helps.<br /> I'll get the camisole, then see if I can upload a better picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-too-large-pattern-on-wrap-dress#post-1193827 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:47:17 +0000 Angie 1193827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer</p> <p>My word, do you fill out a wrap dress to perfection. WOW. Something I cannot do.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Pattern is gorgeous.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-too-large-pattern-on-wrap-dress#post-1193821 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:41:28 +0000 Anonymous 1193821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-too-large-pattern-on-wrap-dress#post-1193818 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:40:18 +0000 Janet 1193818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-too-large-pattern-on-wrap-dress#post-1193816 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:36:55 +0000 rabbit 1193816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's hard to tell color from your photo, but in my experience big patterns help to hide uneven surfaces better than small prints or solid colors in body-con styles around the waist and hips-- so unless I want to wear something like&nbsp;spanx so there are no underwear lines&nbsp;they work better for me. &nbsp;</p> <p>But you might need to try on a couple of different size patterns or plain fabrics&nbsp;to see what works best to your eye. &nbsp; The right kinds of draping and skimming in a plain darker fabric can give me the best of all worlds I've found. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-too-large-pattern-on-wrap-dress#post-1193814 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:36:44 +0000 abc 1193814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are at an angle in the pic, it could help to see face on from the front but I don't see any issues here. It's all about what you are comfortable wearing, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-too-large-pattern-on-wrap-dress#post-1193811 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:34:55 +0000 El Cee 1193811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the dress is lovely on you… and the pattern is fun and not too big (in my opinion). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-too-large-pattern-on-wrap-dress#post-1193807 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:31:16 +0000 gardenchick 1193807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, thanks, surprised to hear this!<br /> I am confused about whether this dress is flattering or not. It shows off my curves more than what I usually wear.<br /> Other opinions?<br /> Maybe I will order a camisole and look at the whole thing together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-too-large-pattern-on-wrap-dress#post-1193804 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:29:56 +0000 Von 1193804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the pattern, I think it's perfect.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-too-large-pattern-on-wrap-dress#post-1193792 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:22:11 +0000 Mo 1193792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>pattern seems in scale with your stature to me. &nbsp;I have one with a larger&nbsp;pattern than that, actually, and it got rave reviews here.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-too-large-pattern-on-wrap-dress#post-1193788 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:19:55 +0000 abc 1193788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see any problem with the pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-too-large-pattern-on-wrap-dress#post-1193786 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:18:32 +0000 gardenchick 1193786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would love to get some feedback here.<br /> I'm working on finding a wrap dress as per Angie's hourglass body type guidelines.<br /> I think the fit of this dress is ok although I would need a camisole or tape in some fabric in order to prevent my bra from showing.<br /> FYI, it's Maggy London dress from Nordstrom.<br /> The problem is the pattern which seems to be too big and (as far as I can see) makes me look bustier and rounder rather than being slimming.<br /> Thoughts on this dress and on large or small patterns?<br /> Thanks! </p>
