And the shoes dont seem out of date to me, although the peak of clog wearing seems to have gone by this time around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-work-dress#post-967780 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 20:43:11 +0000 Eliza 967780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That color and style of dress likes you. Very nice and ordering another makes perfect sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-work-dress#post-967779 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 20:42:08 +0000 Thistle 967779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you, Una! terrific work frock, and yes, you can totally wear it alone. Wrinkle resistant too?!

Angie, that must be a post I missed but am so glad it's on your list!&nbsp; It really looked like nothing on the hanger, but reading the reviews it is clear it's a winner for many people.</p> <p>Vix, thanks for the tip - I will watch that.&nbsp; I usually do wear a little half-slip but now I'll make sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-work-dress#post-967684 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 17:19:12 +0000 Peri 967684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great. I think about my broad shoulders a lot, but I see balance here. You look strong and gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-work-dress#post-967658 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 16:02:34 +0000 Vix 967658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi again Una -- &nbsp;</p> <p>Glad other members of&nbsp;the IT team -- and those with other shapes, of course! --&nbsp;are weighing in with their pro-dress perspective.</p> <p>I forgot to mention this above but --</p> <p>Especially since you're thinking of ordering a duplicate, one thing I will advise is to check the rear view for cling + transparency in sun etc. (The double layers in the front provide some camo, but the back...not so much).</p> <p>I was pretty &amp;)#_% annoyed about the dress only being lined from the waist UP. It wasn't a deal breaker for me as I routinely wear slips&nbsp;and got the dress for so much less than the original price,&nbsp;but really -- bad/cheap decision, BR.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-work-dress#post-967652 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 15:57:18 +0000 Angie 967652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER frock. And crease resistant too. </p> <p>(This was one of my top picks, actually). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-work-dress#post-967632 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 15:43:26 +0000 Suz 967632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress. What a great find!&nbsp;</p> <p>Agree with Denise that the sandals seem on the casual side for work, but you will know the environment best.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-work-dress#post-967585 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 13:41:20 +0000 Sona 967585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The strong shoulder actually gives you a more defined waist. Crazy, naa?&nbsp; Wonderful on&nbsp; you. I think Vix has given you some homework to do now, Ms. I can wear it with panache and how!!!!!!</p> <p>:)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-work-dress#post-967578 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 13:15:43 +0000 Diana 967578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dress is great, and your shoulders look fine! Keep!<br /> And like I told jean, I think korkeases are a retro look that doesn't go out of style. I love the color of yours! I think my mustard shoes are a neutral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-work-dress#post-967559 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 11:05:11 +0000 kkards 967559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress. Great fit and fab color. I think the shoes are good as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-work-dress#post-967532 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 07:24:20 +0000 CocoLion 967532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both but the KEs seem a bit casual for work. Although you will know best what goes in your office. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-work-dress#post-967526 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 07:05:56 +0000 MsMary 967526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both the shoes and the dress are fab, fab, fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-work-dress#post-967525 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 07:03:42 +0000 Lantana 967525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress drapes beautifully, like silk. I like the shoulder line. The colour is just beautiful on you and the yellow sandals give a nice quirky touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-work-dress#post-967468 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 04:17:53 +0000 rae 967468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I love the dress on you! I think your shoulders look perfectly proportioned to your hips in this pic. FAB.&nbsp;</p> <p>I still like the Kork-Ease. They look like classic 70s, and exactly like a pair of KE would look new in store right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-work-dress#post-967456 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 04:06:16 +0000 kellygirl 967456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IKWYM about those kind of sleeves--not always the most IT friendly. In this case, I think the angle of the sleeve is shoulder minimizing. I didn't look at the picture and instantly think Team Linebacker! &nbsp;I like how the&nbsp;elasticated waist nips in too--super flattering. LOVE the color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-work-dress#post-967455 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 04:04:41 +0000 Anonymous 967455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that dress is a go. Whatever the shoulders are doing (slight cut in?) I like them on you. Great color, from what I can see, and judging from what Vix said, a duplicate in red would be very useful.&nbsp;The sandals are nice and substantial and I love the bright color. I would wear them with confidence whether they are 'in' or not, because they look very "Una".&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-work-dress#post-967451 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 03:57:30 +0000 Beth Ann 967451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Length/shape/color combined take this dress beyond the typical conservative work sheath.&nbsp; I think it will be a great addition to your wardrobe.&nbsp; I'm a fan of strong shoulders, and the skirt gives some balance and softness.&nbsp; You could wear a necklace, either a longer one or a statement necklace to draw the eye down or in toward your face, if you like.&nbsp; I don't believe it requires a jacket!</p> <p>As for the shoes -- this type of shoe is always "in" for the women who has the flair to carry its boldness.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-work-dress#post-967448 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 03:53:09 +0000 catgirl 967448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Vix!&nbsp; I have been trying various jackets and finding the same as you - plus I don't want obscure any actual hipline, fake or not!&nbsp; I just ordered this dress in red as well - with my goal of having a small, easy, functional work wardrobe I figure duplicates are helpful when they are so easy to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-work-dress#post-967433 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 03:15:03 +0000 Vix 967433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Una --</p> <p>I actually think the dress looks great as-is -- the tulip skirt creates a lovely curve and fakes a bit of a hip that balances your shoulders nicely. Not that I have anything against a strong IT shape!</p> <p>I actually have the print version of this dress (er, times 2 in different prints...nabbed at mega-beginning-season sale + coupon prices). So insanely comfortable, you will be in luv.</p> <p>Your proverbial mileage may vary, but I prefer to wear mine with jackets that hit at the high hip and have either some curve or strong diagonal lines to them (like your Theory). In the&nbsp;attached photo I'm&nbsp;wearing it with the black blazer, but I also pair it with the&nbsp;taupe one I've shown with something else.</p> <p>For a more casual vibe I've paired it with slouchy cardigans that hit low hip -- for me that length works with the dress when the layer is&nbsp;a sweater but looks awkward in a blazer. [Probably because the cardigan curves along my&nbsp;sadly straight&nbsp;hip line a bit more that the blazer.]</p> <p>Just play around and find your personal&nbsp;sweet spots, and enjoy!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-work-dress#post-967432 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 03:14:49 +0000 chewyspaghetti 967432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it- not too much shoulders </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-work-dress#post-967427 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 02:52:16 +0000 Anonymous 967427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, thanks for the offer Una! I think I will sit this one out. I'd have to try them on as I would be either a small tall or medium tall.</p> <p>I will enjoy seeing it on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-work-dress#post-967421 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 02:39:43 +0000 Caro in Oz 967421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks really good on you imo. Shows a fab strong shoulder line without looking out of proportion. The sandals are good too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-work-dress#post-967411 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 02:25:43 +0000 catgirl 967411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ceit, they have it online - want me to order it for you?&nbsp; It's really nice, and on sale with an extra discount right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-work-dress#post-967410 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 02:23:42 +0000 Anonymous 967410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had been stalking this dress but it sold out instantly in my size. It looks great on you!</p> <p>I like the sandals too! I don't think they are dated looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-work-dress#post-967400 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 02:15:03 +0000 catgirl 967400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I returned about a billion pairs of the Sloan skinnies at BR - none worked! - but found this dress for a great sale price.&nbsp; I really like the length and tulip skirt, and I think it will be versatile for work with sweaters and blazers.&nbsp; I would like to be able to wear it alone, but do you think it just emphasizes my shoulders too much?&nbsp; This is a navy blue though it photographs lighter.&nbsp; I'm wearing it with a skinny belt - there's an elastic waist which is usually awful on me but this seems okay.</p> <p>I'm also wearing a pair of Kork-Ease that have not seen use in a while but I think I'm going to start wearing them more, unless they are out of date (I'm following Jeanne's post!).</p> <p>Feedback welcome! </p>
