And I think is an answer to the question in your other thread ...? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-dress-workshop/page/2#post-2203221 Thu, 17 Jun 2021 19:57:02 +0000 Jules 2203221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress and such creative stylings. Very clever to layer it over pants but I personally prefer it closed and over the white cropped pants. Worn open over the darker, more complete outfit it is reading a bit like a lab coat to me. I think even a little ankle showing would make a difference though - just to match the seasonality and make it more intentional, perhaps.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-dress-workshop/page/2#post-2203220 Thu, 17 Jun 2021 19:31:34 +0000 nemosmom 2203220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE this - and love it most when worn like a duster!&nbsp; I thrifted a jersey dress not long ago and wear it in a similar way (over jeans!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-dress-workshop/page/2#post-2203212 Thu, 17 Jun 2021 18:39:54 +0000 SarahD8 2203212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great! I am really wowed by the modern, half-open layered looks -- especially 4 and 5. I will be the spanner and say that I DO like the vest -- not so much open in #2, but I quite like it closed in #3. It's a bit cottagecore I think? (In a good way.) I like the addition of the more masculine element to the very classic, ladylike dress.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-dress-workshop/page/2#post-2203140 Thu, 17 Jun 2021 13:01:56 +0000 Janet 2203140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great dress for you! I like all the versions except for the vest. It’s great as a layering piece! I’ve never been able to get a shirtdress to work that way for me, but it’s hard to find a shirtdress that works for me in the first place! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-dress-workshop/page/2#post-2203130 Thu, 17 Jun 2021 11:37:50 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2203130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really versatile! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-dress-workshop#post-2203120 Thu, 17 Jun 2021 10:43:57 +0000 Staysfit 2203120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Runcarla, wow! &nbsp;I really like this dress on you. &nbsp;My favorite styling options are 4,5&amp;6. &nbsp;I particularly like it with the red pleated skirt. &nbsp;Very striking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-dress-workshop#post-2203117 Thu, 17 Jun 2021 10:15:32 +0000 Brooklyn 2203117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great!

I'm not sure why. Maybe the vest is too fitted, whereas the dress has some movement to it?</p> <p>I'm not sure what type of belt to add. I personally don't mind self belts at all and usually just stick with them. Maybe it's because I'm short waisted and don't like to draw attention to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-dress-workshop#post-2203089 Thu, 17 Jun 2021 03:43:41 +0000 Anonymous 2203089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Footwear…silver or rose gold or something to bookend your gorgeous hair ( maybe silver would work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-dress-workshop#post-2203079 Thu, 17 Jun 2021 01:52:55 +0000 Angie 2203079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty dress!

Would be interesting to try something really contrasting in color for bags/ shoes - metallics will be fun too.<br /> Since dress has some volume- I feel your hair do with a scarf works better in a way ( just to my eye ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-dress-workshop#post-2203061 Wed, 16 Jun 2021 22:52:24 +0000 Anonymous 2203061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like a pairing of lavender and cognac . Something warm and rich to set off the cooler paleness of the lavender . ( in terms of bag , belt etc) .

I like all these stylings. My favorites are 1, 4, and 5. I'm less crazy about it over the black pants for some reason, though I like the top under it. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I think you could wear it as shown in 1, but with sneakers--maybe your red converse and carry the red bag? And wear a white or blue jean jacket if you need it for warmth. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I'm not sure about the vest. It seems to weigh down the dress visually, as in mood, mainly. It may be that the subtleties of the vest's texture don't come through in the photo. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>In answer to your question about a belt, I think a metallic would look good--in pewter, champagne, or rose gold kind of tones. If such a thing exists in the right width and style is another question! A reptile look could work, too.

Also, ideas from folks on how they style their shirt dresses, or what I might do to maximize versatility. &nbsp;</p> <p>Question: if I was to add a belt (vs using the self tie) and a bag, what colour should I be considering? &nbsp;I would like something to ‘go’ with my lavender stuff including the coat in Finds below.</p> <p>I’ve been eying this (#1) bag/colour - but Coach bags can sometimes be physically heavy. &nbsp;The second bag is from a Canadian company.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-dress-workshop#post-2203044 Wed, 16 Jun 2021 20:40:42 +0000 Jonesy 2203044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this for you! I like the idea of the vest, but maybe with different shoes (e.g., your Converse)? Just my two cents, of course. I love it with the red pleated skirt underneath, and worn as a duster with both white and black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-dress-workshop#post-2203029 Wed, 16 Jun 2021 19:19:55 +0000 Anonymous 2203029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla - is this a keep/return issue ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-dress-workshop#post-2203028 Wed, 16 Jun 2021 19:19:02 +0000 Irina 2203028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love absolutely every outfit. Great find, RunCarla! Very versatile and stylish.<br />I agree with you on light color for linen, navy linen items fade fast.

My hope is to have the dress a long time and for it to get soft and worn in over time. &nbsp;Originally, I wanted the navy, but it wasn’t available in my size so I got the lavender. &nbsp;Now I’m thinking the lighter colour might age better. &nbsp;#4 with the red skirt is my favourite, with #5 with the white jeans next. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-dress-workshop#post-2203017 Wed, 16 Jun 2021 18:33:59 +0000 Sloper 2203017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 and 5 the best.</p> <p>Somehow the vest doesn't spark it enough - I don't know the right word... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-dress-workshop#post-2203016 Wed, 16 Jun 2021 18:20:30 +0000 Anonymous 2203016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful lavish lavender dress! #4 is awesome! </p>
