Will have to check it out - thanks for the reminder (I always kind of forget they're here)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggy-london-dress-help#post-458883 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 20:04:20 +0000 Freckles 458883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes shopping Canadian is hard isn't it. </p> <p>For what it's worth on the Angie pick dress if it fit me like it did the model the neckline would have been too low for work...</p> <p>Do you have a Laura petite where you live? When I was shopping for an event this summer they had a lot of lovely dresses in stock. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggy-london-dress-help#post-458828 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 18:50:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 458828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok...so never mind on either dress...I just saw what the taxes and duty for sending to Canada will be and it no longer makes the dress 50% off! And then if it doesn't fit, will cost a small fortune again to ship back. </p> <p>Gosh I wish Nordstrom's would come to Canada!!!</p> <p>P.S. Thanks for all your input though - much appreciated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggy-london-dress-help#post-458726 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 17:24:49 +0000 modgrl 458726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am trying out this one because it has everything I look for in a dress for my petite apple shape - ruching, pattern and waist definition: </p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/michael-michael-kors-leopard-print-cowl-neck-dress/3209082?origin=category&#038;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/mi.....sultback=0</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggy-london-dress-help#post-458707 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 17:07:53 +0000 Sylvie 458707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate to disagree with an Angie pick but the DM dress didn't work for me at all. I found the fabric itchy and felt that the swag in the front made it look like I was trying to hide excess belly fat. I do have a small belly but I felt the dress would have looked the same on me even if my waist was five inches larger. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggy-london-dress-help#post-458582 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 15:04:24 +0000 Queen Mum 458582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Angie's pick better. The first one just seems to have so much going on in the way of pleats and such.. If you're worried about bulges, try a long slip made of substantial fabric.<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/spanx-slimplicity-full-slip/3097522?origin=related-3097522-0-0-1-1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/sp.....22-0-0-1-1</a><br /> I have a different spanx one that I got at the Rack, and I know I didn't pay $76 for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggy-london-dress-help#post-458548 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 14:24:55 +0000 Transcona Shannon 458548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or maybe I'm better off with this one (in Angie's recommended list) because it comes in a petite size. But I'm worried that any bulges may show in this dress.</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/donna-morgan-draped-jersey-knit-dress/3193091?id=12839469&#038;largeImg=0&#038;tn=largerview_popup&#038;tname=product" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/do.....me=product</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggy-london-dress-help#post-458546 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 14:21:11 +0000 JennyAnne 458546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try it!

Definitely try it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggy-london-dress-help#post-458536 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 14:12:19 +0000 Angie 458536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Only one way to find out </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggy-london-dress-help#post-458526 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 14:05:20 +0000 Transcona Shannon 458526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thinking of ordering this Maggy London dress from the Nordstrom sale - I have quite a few corporate and dressier events I attend throughout the year related to work and think this dress fits the bill. I think it could be dressed down with tights, boots and a denim jacket for work but dressed up with fishnets, killer heels and pearls for an evening event. What do you think? I think the draping at the front could hide a multitude of sins... The only thing I'm worried about is it doesn't come in a petite and wonder if it might be too overwhelming or long in the torso?</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/maggy-london-back-v-neck-jersey-dress/3250489?id=13210515&#038;largeImg=0&#038;tn=largerview_popup&#038;tname=product" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ma.....me=product</a> </p>
