It actually could be very pretty! I'll give is a spin and see what I think.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Kiwigal&nbsp;</b>:D many thanks!! I think I've resisted the bombshell-esque styles for a while because it felt so... va-va-voom and even high maintenance. But this dress is changing my mind entirely!<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>La Belle</b>, thank you And that is a genius idea! I wouldn't have thought of toupee tape.! I am pretty confident my tailor can do some tucking in the right places. Thanks for another great idea to try!&nbsp;<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>jackiec</b>, thank you &lt;3 I'm really falling in love with orange this season. I don't even know why!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>tricia w.,&nbsp;</b>for a long time I did the bohemian thing and side-stepped my glam side. But now, it's kind of time to put on the dress and embrace it again, and it feels rather nice. I feel more comfortable and relaxed about. Like it's part of me instead of trying hard to have a defined style. Not sure if that makes sense.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Summer</b>, thank you I'm just so glad it fit. I'm going to see my tailor this week. I'm hopeful she can fix the gaping, and maybe even let it out a bit so the waist just for a little comfort and ease.&nbsp;<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-sheinside-purchase-new-glam-summer-dress-keep-or-not#post-1474145 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 10:12:06 +0000 Summer 1474145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a beautiful dress, Keturah. &nbsp;I agree that it would benefit from a slight adjustment under the arm, which would make you feel more secure. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-sheinside-purchase-new-glam-summer-dress-keep-or-not#post-1474131 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 08:20:11 +0000 tricia w. 1474131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

You look beautiful in this dress!</p> <p>If you are comfortable going braless and your tailor is able to tighten up the gaping, toupee tape works beautifully for holding fabric to skin without ripping off a layer of skin afterwards. I use it to tack down problem areas of costumes to my body during shows and DragonCon, it's pretty sweat-resistant. I get it from local beauty supply stores. I think I paid around $7 for 30 or so pieces last time I bought it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-sheinside-purchase-new-glam-summer-dress-keep-or-not#post-1474068 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 03:37:25 +0000 Sal 1474068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great!<br />It looks like it was made for you, a flirty fun sun dress </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-sheinside-purchase-new-glam-summer-dress-keep-or-not#post-1474067 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 03:27:23 +0000 Echo 1474067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute dress! And while this may not be the look you are going for, I have seen some cute combinations like this with summer dresses. They would be a casual, fun way of adding an underlayer, though sewn-in cups would work, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-sheinside-purchase-new-glam-summer-dress-keep-or-not#post-1474006 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 01:47:42 +0000 Keturah 1474006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b>Well, lovely ladies! I think I'm keeping the dress,&nbsp;thanks to all of your kind&nbsp;words and helpful advice So thank you!!<b></b></p> <p><b>Aubergine,&nbsp;</b>it's a keeper than! It does need a bit of tailoring. And I do want to figure out something for a bra of sorts. I'm just not used to so much, um, freedom. After 20 years of wearing a bra, it's definitely a different feeling.</p> <p><b>Shevia</b>, thank you!!! And good point! I did some jumping up and down, twisting, turning -- so far, so good.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Firecracker</b>, thank you I think a bandeau might be a really great idea actually! I'll try it on and see.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Karin, </b>this dress was a gamble, since they only showed the back of it. And they only went up to a size Large. So I'm glad it fit :D&nbsp;I've tried those silicone paste-on bras before when I was in some weddings. They don't work. I think it's purely for psychological security.</p> <p><b>Angie,</b> the front of it doesn't bother me, security wise. It needs a bit of tailoring so it lays nicely, but otherwise it's good. It's the deeply cut sides that make me a little shy. With the sides so open will something malfunction?&nbsp;The bodice is so fitted nothing is probably going to pop out the side, except if I eat too much and pop a button. But still, different from what I'm used to. Sidenote: it really is fitted within a millimeter of my life; if I could size up and get it taken in, I would. But it fits and I'm going with it.&nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div><b>Gennifyr</b>, *heart-eyes smiley face x 10* thank you!! I just love this dress to pieces already, and I haven't even worn it out! :D<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Crutcher, </b>I'm so glad you love the dress!! You are so wise. I did some sitting, up-and-down, and layed down in it. Everything stayed put. BUT... I am going to jump and twist around in it while standing. I can be quite the mover and would like to be certain everything stays under wrap. I'll visit my tailor and see what she recommends. Oh, I do go out some And honestly, what is summer without a swishy, twirly sun dress? Love and hugs to Tobs mom </p> <p><b>Rabbit</b>, Thank you so much! I love orange dearly! Inserting bra cups is a really good idea and might just be the perfect solution. I'll see what my tailor says. And I see what you mean about the platform heels! I looked at the photo again, and the dress looks a bit costumey and overdone with the heels. I do wish I had a pair of 1940s/70s chunky heeled sandals for it. I think that would be really fun. But for now, the wedges and sandals will be nice with it.&nbsp;</p> </div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-sheinside-purchase-new-glam-summer-dress-keep-or-not#post-1473899 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 22:35:57 +0000 rabbit 1473899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the color and shape is pretty smashing on you. &nbsp;(Gosh I love orange). &nbsp; I also wonder if insert bra cups would work, and think that it's worth getting the tailor to make the fit feel 'safe'. &nbsp; &nbsp;I like it with the sandals and also your gift wedges. &nbsp;The dress is so bombshell/flattering on it's own &nbsp;that the platform heels seem not as necessary, if that makes sense.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-sheinside-purchase-new-glam-summer-dress-keep-or-not#post-1473853 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 21:27:29 +0000 crutcher 1473853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First, you just look smashing in this dress...I had to smile at how well it fits and how great you look...<br />Yet, and there is a yet, I want you to sit, stand kneel, move about and be sure that you are comfortable and covered in all positions...There has to be a bra that would lend you security as you wear the dress...without wardrobe malfunctions...I am sure your tailor could offer some help...<br />As soon as you are comfortable, be sure and publish the next set of this lovely little number...<br />(And I am sure you go out other than work and church...smile...)<br />Thanks for sharing, Millie Moos mom... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-sheinside-purchase-new-glam-summer-dress-keep-or-not#post-1473667 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 15:32:25 +0000 Gennifyr 1473667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!

Fun sun dress.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-sheinside-purchase-new-glam-summer-dress-keep-or-not#post-1473493 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 08:04:05 +0000 Karin L H 1473493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning dress! Looks great on you. I see what you mean about being a bit revealing on the side, but maybe that could be fixed? There are these silicone bra thingys, I've never tried them myself but wonder if they could be an option? <a href="http://www.amazon.com/World-Pride-Adhesive-Silicone-Strapless/dp/B00H8N42GK" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/World-Pr.....B00H8N42GK</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-sheinside-purchase-new-glam-summer-dress-keep-or-not#post-1473436 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 03:48:57 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1473436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a great dress on you--love the color and style. Maybe there's a bra out there that you could wear with it, if it would make you feel more comfortable. Or perhaps the darts will work. For a casual look, what about layering a bandeau top underneath? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-sheinside-purchase-new-glam-summer-dress-keep-or-not#post-1473402 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 02:02:10 +0000 Jaime 1473402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous bombshell keeper, just make sure there won't be any wardrobe malfunctions at the wrong time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-sheinside-purchase-new-glam-summer-dress-keep-or-not#post-1473365 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 01:07:57 +0000 Anonymous 1473365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cut is stunning on you! Very bombshellish.</p> <p>If it's comfortable enough on top and the gapping can be fixed, I'd say it's a keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-sheinside-purchase-new-glam-summer-dress-keep-or-not#post-1473321 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 22:44:25 +0000 Keturah 1473321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had never heard of Sheinside until Angie showed a little ruched sleeve blazer from them. My interest was piqued. </p> <p>I checked out their site for several months. The prices are good. The sizes definitely run small. (hard for me since I am 5'11 and have wider shoulders and hips.) I still hadn't purchased anything until a few weeks ago. This dress immediately caught my eye! It's orange, it's glam, and it has pockets! Not to mention it will be airy and cool. </p> <p>I can't wear a bra with it. It's backless and the top portion of it just fits me. Another 1/4-1/2" smaller and I wouldn't be able to button it, let alone breathe. This is not an easy bohemian tunic dress with no tailoring, that's for sure! </p> <p>It has pretty deeply cut bust sides, and it gaps some. I think my gifted tailor can add a couple of darts to fix the gaping. </p> <p>It feels a little revealing and I feel shy about it. Definitely not a work or church dress without a topper. But...I love it to death already. I feel glamorous in it. </p> <p>It was also only $23. Not justifying it just, wow! I couldn't sew a similar dress for that. </p> <p>What do you all think??</p> <p>Modeled with..<br /> - Studded gladiator sandals (what I will likely wear it with most of the time so it's more casual)<br /> - JLo (Kohl's) nude patent platform high heels<br /> - Madden Girl gold wedges (I don't<br /> Love these but they were a gift so trying to get some use out of them.)</p> <p>PS... Sorry, no makeup today; giving my face some rest. Also, I got some sun and despite 35 SPF I've got freckles galore on my face and a tan line on my back. Please ignore! </p>
