I'm certain there are a few fabbers who've demonstrated this look admirably too, but the first example I had at hand was this one:&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.alreadypretty.com/2012/07/dressed-for-unplanned-fance.html">http://www.alreadypretty.com/2.....fance.html</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>Definitely not boring, if that's a worry of yours.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxi-dress-help-i-know-but-still#post-984636 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 03:29:37 +0000 cciele 984636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, that has the potential to look smashing on you Lisa! I don't think it will be too frumpy at all.</p> <p>I would definitely go for a long statement necklace. Turquoise might be fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxi-dress-help-i-know-but-still#post-984631 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 03:23:14 +0000 suzyq 984631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't offer the feedback you ask for but I have to say that is a stunning dress. &nbsp;Much more refined with zero beachy/nightgown vibe. &nbsp;Happy early birthday </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxi-dress-help-i-know-but-still#post-984623 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 03:15:39 +0000 cyan45 984623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i know maxi dresses are discouraged on YLF for legit reasons, but i couldn't resist i purchased this one! as a small busted girl i'm always looking for dresses with&nbsp;modest necklines that make the most the assets i do have: nice arms, slender&nbsp;waist and even length&nbsp;shoulders/hips. my reasoning: modest neckline + figure skimming cut = possibly flattering &amp; not too frumpy?&nbsp;</p> <p>anyways, my card has officially been charged so&nbsp;there's no turning back now ;D next step: statement necklace! i'm looking for something long enough to be 'boob-length' ie ~28" since the neckline is so high...?&nbsp;</p> <p>also, i'd love ideas on fun, trendy, flattering colors that compliment this berry red color and create a cool colorblock. i am not afraid of being bold, so please don't be shy! i've thought of cobalt blue, yellow, fuchsia, orange...white seems a tad boring and plain metallics (while i LOVE gold) seem a little too predictable...but i love both so if something good is out there, i'll always try it :)</p> <p>i am turning 35 next month and, if things work out, this will be my bday dress to celebrate i LOVE the goddess feel of a maxi dress (modest yet feminine and alluring) and&nbsp;i hope to channel that energy...if not, can always convert it to a knee-length dress. frumpy problem solved&nbsp;LOL</p> <p>thanks so much ladies!<br />xoxo</p> <p> </p>
