I love the look of the Red turtleneck one and would be trying that on if I had a chance Maya on "Maya: Sweater dresses on UO!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-sweater-dresses-on-uo#post-61230 Thu, 16 Apr 2009 23:03:08 +0000 Maya 61230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ One more thing I was reminded of after reading Candace's post: I read the reviews and a couple of the reviewers who had a fuller bust complained that the bust seam ripped! And now I remember when I was trying on a dress (not this one, but another Kimchi and Blue dress with the same material and empire waist), I heard a very unpleasant ripping sound when I tried it on in the fitting room. I think it's definitely not for someone over a C cup (in any band size). candace on "Maya: Sweater dresses on UO!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-sweater-dresses-on-uo#post-61229 Thu, 16 Apr 2009 22:59:28 +0000 candace 61229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My daughter has this dress. It was a great dress for the winter. She wears the extra small and is a 32A, so the dress might not work as well on everyone.

Its sized in even numbers and fits me like any of my other missy clothes. I wear the same size I usually do. I sense that it's targeted towards college students and 20-somethings, not teens. I wouldn't get my hopes up about that first dress. I have seen it in person. First of all, the material is cheap and pills like you can't even imagine. It isn't really a "sweater" dress, more like a sweatshirt dress. It's extremely soft and warm, and I don't generally have high standards about materials, but I didn't like it. Even that I could have overlooked if it fit well, but it didn't. Shana, you're busty like me, and this dress is never going to work. I don't even bother trying Kimchi and Blue dresses anymore because they always have that damn empire waist and it does not fit over my chest. I had to go up to a medium, and then it just wouldn't fit anywhere else. I don't always have a problem with empire waists, but I definitely did with these dresses (there are several styles like this). They also look unflattering from the side. As a matter of fact, if you look at the model from the side view, you can see that not only is the dress poofing out in the front, it doesn't even seem to be sitting correctly under her bust, and she is fairly small chested. I think she gets away with it, but you and I definitely would not. My chest more or less fell out of the top before I was able to pull the empire seam down to an appropriate position. shana on "Maya: Sweater dresses on UO!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-sweater-dresses-on-uo#post-61155 Thu, 16 Apr 2009 17:39:35 +0000 shana 61155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow, I love that first dress! I haven't worn any UO in about 10 years so somehow I don't think it will work on my non-juniors proportioned body though. I know we have one in the state - I might have to stop in at some point & check it out. Thanks Shiny for posting links...

I have seen all of these sweater dresses before but they are all problematic for me in at least one area. I'm not really looking at this point since the season for them is over anyway. Maybe fall will bring some better options. shiny on "Maya: Sweater dresses on UO!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-sweater-dresses-on-uo#post-61125 Thu, 16 Apr 2009 14:19:44 +0000 shiny 61125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't know if these fit your requirements, but I saw them just now so figured I would post them - if not for you, maybe someone else might be interested?
