I think I know the fabric exactly. It's a lace jacquard. Great for the office. Now go buy the killer dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-advice#post-478311 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 10:59:22 +0000 rute 478311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fabric it's difficult to explain.. it seems printed as it has no texture.. I must return there and take a photo so that you can see how it looks and the fabric!<br /> My office is bussiness casual, but everyone dresses rather conservative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-advice#post-478241 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 07:04:35 +0000 AJ 478241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you have other dresses with this type of shape, right? I likey and think you can make it work for work! : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-advice#post-478240 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 07:03:48 +0000 Kari 478240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rute - I could see dressing it down for *certain* working environments, but not for a conservative workplace, and it would depend on where it's hitting you. Since you are petite, is it close to knee length? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-advice#post-478236 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 07:01:03 +0000 Ves 478236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd totally wear it as a daily dress and have seen dresses like this in the office. But then again, I work in the fashion industry... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-advice#post-478068 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 03:52:49 +0000 celia 478068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to be a spanner here.That is an absolutely gorgeous dress but unless you work in a very high profile office this is not a office dress for Portugal even if you dress it down.<br /> And I feel your pain for that.<br /> Maybe a romantic dinner.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-advice#post-478060 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 03:42:07 +0000 taylor 478060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>pretty!!</p> <p>Throw a black blazer over and it is completely work appropriate to me:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-advice#post-477958 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:47:45 +0000 MINI 477958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress itself is very gorgeous, but it doesn't look like it's for office to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-advice#post-477957 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:47:23 +0000 Jonesy 477957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like others, I'm curious about what exactly the fabric is...But I can see this working for daytime really easily with a jacket or cardigan and some opaque tights. It's a gorgeous dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-advice#post-477952 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:45:03 +0000 Theory and Practice 477952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Rute, this dress is positively gorgeous! I say get it, girl and worry about dressing it down later, LOL! There's this article in Marie Claire that talks about layering your holiday pieces to dress it down for everyday wear. Here's the link: <a href="http://www.marieclaire.com/fashion/tips/plus-size-holiday-fashion" rel="nofollow">http://www.marieclaire.com/fas.....ay-fashion</a>. If you happen across the December issue, there's pictures with the article as well. I'm suggesting tip#3: the contrasting tee. I think a black long-sleeve tee might make this dress more casual, while keeping it interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-advice#post-477942 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:36:18 +0000 Anonymous 477942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, gorgeous dress. I would wear it almost anywhere! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-advice#post-477938 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:33:15 +0000 Mellllls 477938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it lace? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-advice#post-477935 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:31:15 +0000 Katiepea 477935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rute, you have such an effervescent personality, you could wear a ball gown to the office and get away with it. I vote you wear it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-advice#post-477674 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:52:27 +0000 HelenInCanada 477674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous dress. I agree with the others that depending on your office environment, you should be able to dress it down with a cardi, opaque tights, and casual/work-like bag. So, other than hemline (too short on you, or just above the knee?) I'd say do it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-advice#post-477660 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:31:23 +0000 rachylou 477660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How far above the knee does it come on you? From the pic, it's office doable except for how high the hemline is on the model. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-advice#post-477568 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 19:03:14 +0000 Scarlet 477568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my book one could wear at is you describe to an office. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-advice#post-477526 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 17:59:27 +0000 rae 477526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could wear it to my office, no problem. From what I've seen of your work outfits, it'd probably be fine there, too. A neutral cardi might help take away from the party vibe as well - maybe a heather gray boyfriend cardi? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-advice#post-477508 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 17:42:41 +0000 Sylvie 477508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for being able to dress it down with the right accessories. If you can wear dresses to the office, you can wear this one too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-advice#post-477497 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 17:24:14 +0000 Angie 477497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rute, is it a knit or lace? </p> <p>Personally, I would wear this dress daily in a heartbeat and dress it down - but then, I LOVE to wear dressy things. </p> <p>In the fashion industry this would not just be a party look. You could absolutely wear it to the office. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-advice#post-477491 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 17:17:48 +0000 annagybe 477491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It reads party dress to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-advice#post-477490 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 17:16:53 +0000 banananutmuffin 477490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a conservative dresser, so this dress looks very "party" to me. But I'd say it depends on the type of office environment you work in. A pink cardi might dress it down enough to be appropriate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-advice#post-477489 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 17:15:46 +0000 Jenava 477489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rute, is it beaded, embroidered or printed? If it's embroidered or printed then I think it can be easily dresses down. If it's beaded you could still do it maybe by adding a denim jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-advice#post-477488 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 17:14:21 +0000 rute 477488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried this Zara dress today!<br /> The fit is perfect on me!<br /> As I'm petite the length is perfect also.<br /> My question is: Is it too much of a party dress or can I wear it to the office with a pink cardi and opaque black hose and flats? </p>
