If you decide to go with that I would not take the vee up much. I like the touch of the bare skin. Just sayin'. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mega-dress-shopping-for-wedding/page/2#post-1282155 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 10:53:35 +0000 missvee 1282155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Ted Baker but I think it's a touch long. Could you shorten it a bit? The length of the dress in pic 7 looks more flattering to my eye. How nice that you have some good choices after all your efforts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mega-dress-shopping-for-wedding#post-1282129 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 09:36:59 +0000 Quietgirl 1282129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My take: The Ted Baker is a beautiful dress but I don't think it is as flattering on you as the other selections. It is something about the fit/cut which I can't put my finger on exactly. I like the other three choices and like Suz, my favorite is the Adrianna Papell. I do agree with Angie that #3 is a dynamite fit! Since it is solid, you would have lots of versatility with it!</p> <p>You have made wonderful selections for us to look it! It is win, win whatever you choose. Have a great time at the wedding! You <u>will</u> because you will look FAB!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mega-dress-shopping-for-wedding#post-1282110 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 08:28:32 +0000 Astrid 1282110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Carambola on the Ted Baker dress. I like the colors and pattern, but to me it looks like the top half is a smidge too long. If you love it and that doesn't bother you and you're alright with not wearing it that often afterwards, go and get it. Otherwise I really really love #4-#6. It looks fantastic on you, like the perfect fit! And you wouldn't have to change a thing. The third dress is lovely too, but the needed alterations would be a dealbreaker for me if I had an alternative that fits out of the box, so to speak. And the Adrianna Papell doesn't read office wear to me, I think it's fantastic with the shoes. Add a great clutch, maybe a cuff for jewelry and you're ready to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mega-dress-shopping-for-wedding#post-1282101 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 07:50:41 +0000 rute 1282101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>7 to 9 is my favorite, so flattering, amazing pattern! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mega-dress-shopping-for-wedding#post-1282098 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 07:43:38 +0000 fuzzylogic 1282098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ralph Lauren dress #7-9- super flattering! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mega-dress-shopping-for-wedding#post-1282090 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 07:09:24 +0000 AJ 1282090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the third dress on you. The print is not too big (like the first dress) or too small ( like the second dress). Plus, I think the v-neck is very flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mega-dress-shopping-for-wedding#post-1281998 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 04:11:38 +0000 Deborah 1281998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pil you look lovely in each dress but #2 and #3 are incredibly figure flattering.&nbsp; #1 is a great dress but I actually don' think it does your figure justice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mega-dress-shopping-for-wedding#post-1281935 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 03:22:38 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1281935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I was kind of wondering if that might be the case, when you described how comfortable it was. It <i>might</i> not be that difficult, but sometimes it can be a bear to pick the stitching out of knits without putting little holes in the fabric. It's worth asking your tailor.<br />Would you consider wearing a cami or adding a coordinating panel at the V? </p> <p>ooh, or better yet, is it available in petites anywhere?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mega-dress-shopping-for-wedding#post-1281933 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 03:19:20 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1281933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>[duplicate post]</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mega-dress-shopping-for-wedding#post-1281871 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 02:24:14 +0000 pil 1281871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firecracker, it's hard to explain the construction but the top half of the dress is lined. And it is all seamed together around the armhole so I think getting to the actual shoulder seam will be tricky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mega-dress-shopping-for-wedding#post-1281863 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 02:17:58 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1281863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love #1 on you and like Angie's idea of a gold belt; I can just picture it: gorgeous! I like #3 better with your shoes than #2, for some reason. I think #3 is really beautiful on you. The alteration may be a deal-breaker, though. I would think one could take up the neckline at the shoulder without going as far as the sleeves. It's not an alteration I would relish doing myself, but there's a reason that's not my line of work. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mega-dress-shopping-for-wedding#post-1281856 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 02:16:18 +0000 kellygirl 1281856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really love the Ted Baker but am not sure about the versatility. Love both of the printed dresses. So flattering! You struck gold with this lot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mega-dress-shopping-for-wedding#post-1281838 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 02:08:08 +0000 pil 1281838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Decisions, decisions! At least you have all confirmed that I am on the right track. I was surprised that I liked the Ted Baker dress on after the the top I tried didn't work. But - Angie suggested it and it is my husband's favorite! He hasn't seen dress #3 on me yet, but I was very surprised that he preferred #1 over the more body con and V neck of #4.</p> <p>My heart loves the Ted Baker but my hesitation is the same as Suz's - so few occasions to wear it. The colors might be good for the holidays, but I'm not so sure about the short sleeves. Dresses 2 &amp; 3 are definitely more all purpose. 2 is appealing because it is good to go and lined as well. I like the looks of 3 and the great price is an added bonus. Because of the construction I'm afraid the alteration to the shoulder might be rather involved. I don't fill it out enough on top for fashion tape or tacking the two pieces together. I'll check with my alterations place.</p> <p>Thanks for the encouragement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mega-dress-shopping-for-wedding#post-1281595 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 23:01:08 +0000 Elle 1281595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the third dress on you (#7-9) but think any of the first three would work </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mega-dress-shopping-for-wedding#post-1281586 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 22:52:07 +0000 Aida 1281586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think you could go wrong with any of the first three dresses!

Except mine was too tight and I sent it back. Like, "forget eating anything at the reception" tight :(<br />My favorite dress is the one in #7-#9, with #4-#6 coming in second. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mega-dress-shopping-for-wedding#post-1281545 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 21:56:44 +0000 JAileen 1281545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all but #1 the best.

I LOVE the first three dresses, Pill. Those are killer.&nbsp;</p> <p>The first dress is the most fun, on trend&nbsp;and happy (especially with your red specs). Looks great with the shoes, but add a gold skinny belt. Very elegant.&nbsp;</p> <p>The third dress is the most conventionally flattering. Bombshell.&nbsp;</p> <p>Now there is an abundance of riches to choose from. xo</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mega-dress-shopping-for-wedding#post-1281413 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 18:32:19 +0000 rachylou 1281413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, I love #1.

The shoes are great with it. </p> <p>I love #2 too, but feel it's more a work dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mega-dress-shopping-for-wedding#post-1281393 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 18:12:40 +0000 Anonymous 1281393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2 and 3 are most versatile, but I agree the Ted baker one is fabulous for a wedding! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mega-dress-shopping-for-wedding#post-1281309 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 17:15:41 +0000 Suz 1281309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, an abundance of riches after drought, Pil. I love all of these! I think for the reasons you've mentioned my favourite is #2 (4-6) simply because the fit is spot on, the pattern and colour work, it is sleeved, and looks versatile -- but the Lauren is equally fab on you. My only hesitation is if the neckline will bother you, why bother, you know?&nbsp;</p> <p>Then there is the Ted Baker, which is seriously smashing and says "guest at a wedding" all over it! So pretty. My only reservation about that one is that (for myself) I might have a hard time wearing it to any other kind of event - whereas the Papell looks less memorable and more versatile.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the second Lauren dress also but it seems it's less useful to you than the others.&nbsp;</p> <p>Not a lot of help but at least I have ruled one of them out?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mega-dress-shopping-for-wedding#post-1281301 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 17:11:59 +0000 Isis 1281301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for 7-9!&nbsp; Love that dress and it looks amazing on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mega-dress-shopping-for-wedding#post-1281297 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 17:08:39 +0000 texstyle 1281297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the 7-9 dress. And I love that you said it was as comfortable as pajamas (to me that means it is "the" one). It also doesn't look too deep to me, but you have to be comfortable. Have you ever used fashion tape? I've used it to keep blouses from gaping at the v when they were low like this and it has been very successful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mega-dress-shopping-for-wedding#post-1281287 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 16:58:31 +0000 kkards 1281287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i really like the ted baker dress. the only thing i might change was to look for a dresser belt, but thats just a might. like it a lot as is. also like the paterned lauren dress, the fit is really flattering, and i like the sleeves. <em></em> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mega-dress-shopping-for-wedding#post-1281277 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 16:49:18 +0000 MsMaven 1281277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed that two in middle are best. &nbsp;At first I liked the Ted Baker, but then I don't like the way the print is seamed in back. &nbsp;Looks awkward to me. &nbsp;The other two prints make you look svelte and well proportioned from all views. &nbsp;Actually, I like 7-9 a bit better. &nbsp;It doesn't look too deep a v to me, but then, that is an individual preference. </p>
