I picked up that print in a sleeveless PB blouse. I'm looking forward to pulling out my citron purse and wearing sleeveless things. . .(any time now, please!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-at-sheath-dress-what-cha-think#post-337152 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 15:17:01 +0000 Carole 337152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Kelly, Kim and Joy! Your solidarity is making this easy. There will always be other dresses. At least I know how important the right length is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-at-sheath-dress-what-cha-think#post-337126 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 14:51:44 +0000 Anonymous 337126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's several inches too short but otherwise a great dress on you. I like the second one as a tunic over leggings or leans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-at-sheath-dress-what-cha-think#post-337091 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 14:26:16 +0000 Queen Mum 337091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>unhemmed dresses... BRILLIANT! gosh, what a simple idea so why hasn't anyone tried it?<br /> I do really like that dress on you, but I agree that it needs to be a hair longer. so sad ;-( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-at-sheath-dress-what-cha-think#post-337090 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 14:26:09 +0000 kellygirl 337090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you posted this, Carole. My initial impression was that it was a tad to short but the fit was lovely. I have hemline issues--I think because I used to wear such short skirts when I was younger. Now I feel positively matronly sometimes about hemlines and was hesitant to voice my opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-at-sheath-dress-what-cha-think#post-337087 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 14:23:08 +0000 Carole 337087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Lynne! It feels good to have some discipline about my purchases! I'm really liking the idea of a fine tuned wardrobe. Baby steps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-at-sheath-dress-what-cha-think#post-337024 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 08:15:46 +0000 Lynne 337024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The print was lovely on you, Carole, and perfect with your citron shoes! You have fantastic legs, but a dress that length might not be brilliant when you sit? Well done for holding out for a 10 :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-at-sheath-dress-what-cha-think#post-336989 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 05:20:06 +0000 Carole 336989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Una, for your kind words! There isn't much of a hem, so I it's going back. You guys are saving me money! wow, that's a nice change. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-at-sheath-dress-what-cha-think#post-336959 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 04:40:55 +0000 catgirl 336959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look nice on you but yes, a tad short. I love the fit of the sheath so if you can take it down a bit, then YAY! I know if I sat down in that length of dress, I would feel a little too exposed. You have great legs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-at-sheath-dress-what-cha-think#post-336930 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 04:15:56 +0000 Carole 336930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Kyle. I just missed your post! I think you are right. Sometimes it helps to just work this all out here. Now I know what I'm after, at least. Thanks for helping to sort it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-at-sheath-dress-what-cha-think#post-336926 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 04:12:59 +0000 Kyle 336926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the sheath dress is just a tad short. But I'm enjoying longer hemlines for myself and could be biased, Carole. It's not easy for us to find a dress that hits at the knee or just above, though. They are few and far between. The second dress with leggings is a nice look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-at-sheath-dress-what-cha-think#post-336925 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 04:12:57 +0000 Carole 336925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mark K-good idea, why didn't I think of that? I will check the hem and see if there is enough to let down...stay tuned.......</p> <p>Kappy-Thank you for your nice words; makes this old gal feel good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-at-sheath-dress-what-cha-think#post-336920 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 04:07:27 +0000 Kappy 336920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a beautiful dress, and you have nice legs! It's a shame that dresses don't come long and unhemmed (like men's dress pants). Then we could hem that at the perfect length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-at-sheath-dress-what-cha-think#post-336910 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 03:53:52 +0000 MsMary 336910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you take down the hem and make it a 10? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-at-sheath-dress-what-cha-think#post-336903 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 03:46:39 +0000 Carole 336903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taylor, thank you!</p> <p>Angie-That helps to know that it's the length that is not making the A+ grade. It's always hard to find dresses long enough, and I really like this but don't want to add another dress to my wardrobe that's not a 10. I'm getting more particular in my old age, thanks to you.!</p> <p>Sarah, Thanks you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-at-sheath-dress-what-cha-think#post-336864 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 02:47:16 +0000 sarah 336864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I especially like #2, with the citron pumps. I'd keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-at-sheath-dress-what-cha-think#post-336856 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 02:28:20 +0000 Angie 336856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both dress and tunic are very pretty, Carole! </p> <p>The dress is a 9, and not 10 in my book. If it was a little longer, it would be a 10. But then, FWIW, I generally prefer longer dress hemlines on classic sheaths :). However, 9's are brilliant and you look gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-at-sheath-dress-what-cha-think#post-336835 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 01:44:51 +0000 taylor 336835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this dress on you!! extra fab with the yellow shoe!! PRETTY! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-at-sheath-dress-what-cha-think#post-336818 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 01:06:07 +0000 Carole 336818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Isabella. I hate to go bare armed, so I will most likely wear either this cardi or a black blazer over. Hopefully, it will look ok .I need to do more arm exercises! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-at-sheath-dress-what-cha-think#post-336815 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 01:02:23 +0000 Marigold 336815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it without the cardi, it's a perfect summer dress. Funny how I didn't even see the yellow accents in the first pic, those yellow peep toes pick up the yellow accents so nicely!<br /> As for the second dress, great zipper detail, I do think it's a little short without leggings though, but love it with! Very nice dresses </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-at-sheath-dress-what-cha-think#post-336808 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 00:55:35 +0000 Carole 336808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this a 10 or should I return? I thought I could get some more use of my citron peep toes with this dress. I have it styled with a drapey cardi and without.</p> <p>Brutal honesty appreciated!</p> <p>Thanks ladies!</p> <p>Oh and I almost forgot, what about this dress, does it seem too short without the leggings? Notice the little side zipper at the hem, I thought that was neat...what do you think </p>
