I love sheath dresses, but like you, I have a larger chest and can find them difficult to wear. This particular one does look a bit tight.</p> <p>I like the jacket a lot though and don't think that it looks too long. I hardly ever button jackets, so I wouldn't worry about it not closing. If you are planning to button it, though, it does look like the button needs to be moved. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-some-honest-oppinions#post-87678 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 16:28:54 +0000 rute 87678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Steph!<br /> Yes, it makes sense!! Round high necks call even more attention to an area we don't want to enphasise. I'll keep searching! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-some-honest-oppinions#post-87672 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 15:55:53 +0000 Steph 87672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rute, I agree with everyone else about the dress. Also, as someone who is large-chested, I will say that I sometimes find that neckline difficult to wear. I think that because the neckline is so high, it sometimes has the effect of making the chest look never-ending. Does that make sense? I do own items with high necklines, so I don't think it's always the case, but I do think it is something to look out for. </p> <p>As for the blazer, I personally don't think that it's too long. My only critique is that when it is buttoned, the button seems to be pulling. It is difficult to tell if it's just a little tight, and maybe moving the button over slightly would solve the problem, or if it is being pulled by your chest from above. I think it looks great when it is worn unbuttoned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-some-honest-oppinions#post-87668 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 15:45:32 +0000 medusa 87668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rute, I LOVE the dress, but agree it's a bit small. The jacket also looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-some-honest-oppinions#post-87653 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 15:19:26 +0000 rute 87653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Roseandjoan,<br /> Your judgement is totally right.. the round color is difficult for me to wear, but all sheath dresses have very high round color.. well I guess i'll have to continue looking...<br /> Here there are no petite stores... so I have to alter a lot: cut the sleeves, hem the skirts.. usually I don't buy when there is much alteration to be done because I'm afraid I won't like the final result (dresses are complicated because I have a short torso and the waist don't sit at my natural waist), so I go for the two pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-some-honest-oppinions#post-87635 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 14:21:55 +0000 RoseandJoan 87635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have both great taste and a fantastic figure but I feel the dress squashes your chest a little and the jacket would be fabulous if four inches shorter. </p> <p>I'm not sure if it is the neckline on the dress that is maybe a little high, a long necklace may alter the proportions. I'm new to the site and don't trust my judgement yet so It is a good job Angie's back to put us straight.</p> <p>I do love the chocolate/ lime colour combination it reminds me of the retro sweets.</p> <p>Do you often have to alter your clothes given you're petite? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-some-honest-oppinions#post-87634 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 14:20:42 +0000 Anonymous 87634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to agree with Chewy - it looks too small, but I love the style! Can you size up? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-some-honest-oppinions#post-87626 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 13:57:37 +0000 chewyspaghetti 87626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the dress is too small- it pulls a bit near your hips and you have a visible panty line. I really like the jacket, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-some-honest-oppinions#post-87622 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 13:47:24 +0000 rute 87622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I keep forgeting the password... </p> <p>ylf2009 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-some-honest-oppinions#post-87620 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 13:45:33 +0000 rute 87620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm still fitting to build my fall wardrobe.. so at lunch hour I went to a store I know it has good quality clothes (the price is not so good) and excellent fit: Its a french brand called caroll: <a href="http://www.caroll.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.caroll.com/</a></p> <p>I just had time to experiment two items:<br /> I was looking for a sheath dress and this has an impecable fit, but I'm not sure if it is the best option for my type of body.<br /> As to the jacket, I think it's too long and the one button jacket is not flattering for my "big chest".<br /> What do you think? </p> <p><a href="http://s601.photobucket.com/albums/tt93/rute_m/fall/" rel="nofollow">http://s601.photobucket.com/al.....te_m/fall/</a> </p>
