So the Theory dress is out for that reason too.</p> <p>Cocolion, I think I have good shoulders: square and pretty tone. I've always liked them. My arms are long and also pretty tone although not particularly thin but I think they are okay.</p> <p>As much as I like the white JBrand, the style feels a little dramatic and austere for me. It's possible the Ted Baker may be a little too feminine for me -- I actually feel like I most comfortably reside right in between those two. </p> <p>I'm tempted to order the Ted Baker just to try it because it is so different and has really strong potential, and it's a good price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-renewal-dress-ideas#post-1197162 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 14:43:28 +0000 Susie 1197162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all gorgeous dresses. I love the first two- black and black and white are always favs for me- but they don't look like a beach wedding to me. For the occasion, I prefer the second two. I don't usually like florals but the Ted Baker is gorgeous. And the J Brand is so striking in its simplicity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-renewal-dress-ideas#post-1197156 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 14:33:24 +0000 catgirl 1197156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of these.&nbsp; I think the Theory could be a difficult fit - it is something that might work for me, as it looks IT-friendly - but&nbsp;not sure about black.&nbsp; The Halston is lovely.&nbsp; The Ted Baker is my favorite for your event, but depends on how it will fit you.&nbsp; The&nbsp;last one is stunning and I would pick that first except that I see some rippling on the model in the close-ups and wonder if it's from a bias-cut or other fabric prone to that kind of issue.&nbsp; </p> <p>My two cents! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-renewal-dress-ideas#post-1197095 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 12:28:25 +0000 Anonymous 1197095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they're all beautiful dresses! I'm not sure about the first only because it seems like a vow renewal deserves something more cheerful than all black. I think the Halston is my absolute favorite because I love the contrast between the simple front and dramatic back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-renewal-dress-ideas#post-1197086 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 11:57:38 +0000 April 1197086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One concern about the Theory dress: the cut of it seems exceptionally prone to showcasing "front of underarm bulge." &nbsp;You can kind of see it happening on the model, who's probably 17 and 95 pounds. &nbsp;</p> <p>The Ted Baker floral looks white but description says pale green -- would that be a plus or a minus for you?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-renewal-dress-ideas#post-1197036 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 08:06:42 +0000 fuzzylogic 1197036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love them all, especially the Ted Baker floral number! Yay(!!!) for falling in love all over again!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-renewal-dress-ideas#post-1197030 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 07:07:16 +0000 Ornella 1197030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From this selection,&nbsp;I swoon over #4. Classy and alluring at the same time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-renewal-dress-ideas#post-1197028 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 06:59:27 +0000 Deborah 1197028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I seem to have all the links correctly. To be honest I like all but the Halston. It depends on what look you want. The Theory is gorgeous, the floral is not too floral the fourth option is stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-renewal-dress-ideas#post-1197027 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 06:58:53 +0000 CocoLion 1197027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of them. &nbsp;What comes to mind: &nbsp;are you endowed with gorgeous square, toned,&nbsp;but not halfback shoulders? &nbsp;I know I am certainly not, so that would rule out all but one of these dresses for me.&nbsp; I am trying to picture you in recent threads … slim … well balanced. &nbsp;Might work.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-renewal-dress-ideas#post-1197024 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 06:47:20 +0000 AraArena12 1197024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOve em' all. =) Doesn't matter what yu wear as long as you feel comfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-renewal-dress-ideas#post-1197015 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 05:47:35 +0000 rabbit 1197015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 - maybe good for an indoor night-time vow renewal, but black might be a bit of a&nbsp;heavy color&nbsp;for outdoors/sunshine. &nbsp; Beautiful and real silk though.</p> <p>#2 - The back IS interesting, I think you would have to try it on to see if it worked for you, and keep the rest of the outfit simple to balance it. &nbsp;</p> <p>#3 - &nbsp;I think it's beautiful, and flowers and weddings/vows go hand in hand. &nbsp;The drape/ asymmetry makes it not too sweet for me.&nbsp; If you figured out the length you could measure where it hit you. &nbsp;</p> <p>#4 - My favorite design wise, &nbsp;unusual but classically beautiful. &nbsp;Would actually make an awesome wedding dress, but could be worn other times too. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-renewal-dress-ideas#post-1196885 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 00:53:23 +0000 Echo 1196885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nope, sorry. Now the Halston dress is listed for both that and the Kate Spade... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-renewal-dress-ideas#post-1196880 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 00:47:26 +0000 viva 1196880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The links are really and truly fixed (think you and I cross-posted, Tanya.) So sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-renewal-dress-ideas#post-1196878 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 00:46:05 +0000 Tanya 1196878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, now link #2 and #3 lead to the same white dress with black back :)</p> <p>I love them all, and have a soft spot for the last white one with interesting back.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-renewal-dress-ideas#post-1196874 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 00:39:39 +0000 Suz 1196874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh. What Echo said re the links. But I do adore the dress if black would be okay. And think it would look lovely on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>Like the others a lot, too. In the end, I think you will just have to try them all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-renewal-dress-ideas#post-1196869 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 00:29:14 +0000 Echo 1196869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first two links are the same, although I like the black dress a lot. I also like the J Brand white dress; it has a nice shape and seems to be great for the occasion. The flowers on the Ted Baker are beautiful, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-renewal-dress-ideas#post-1196855 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 00:11:24 +0000 viva 1196855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes or no for vow renewal? <p>Theory: This is black but I love the shape: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/myoso2n" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/myoso2n</a><br />Halston Heritage: A little dramatic for me in the back but I love the simplicity in the front and the contrast <a href="http://tinyurl.com/lr2vsd2" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/lr2vsd2</a><br />Ted Baker: different. too sweet? too short? <a href="http://tinyurl.com/lla9dc6" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/lla9dc6</a><br />JBrand: Interesting back <a href="http://tinyurl.com/mkvdqft" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/mkvdqft</a></p> </p> <p> PS At this point if any links are wrong please accept my apologies and disregard the post.
