Too plain and ordinary.</p> <p>Also, in your own words - it doesn't fit 100% right. That in itself is a reason to part with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dress-keep-or-return-1#post-282368 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 17:46:27 +0000 Louise 282368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thinking it looks too 'old' for you? x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dress-keep-or-return-1#post-282309 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 16:04:24 +0000 Astrid 282309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your votes! I think I'm going to return the dress. While I like the pattern and the color, the cut and the fit aren't perfect (what I already knew a little bit) so I will pass. </p> <p>Jonesy, it really was on sale and relatively inexpensive, but money is money and that's a little I can then spend on other things. Your're right that I could layer it now with the cold temperatures, but I actually would need some spring items (which I didn't found) more. I think I also bought it because I saw so many nice things on sale and nothing I tried on did even remotely fit. I really would like to wear more dresses, but I never find ones that fit me. </p> <p>Loves Moose, be blunt all you like! :)<br /> I think you're right and the cut looks a bit like some of the items I purged from my closet some time ago. It's the force of habit, I guess. I'm just not all that brave yet when it comes to shopping clothes.</p> <p>Una, I don't think it's worth the effort of hemming and tailoring, although I like the fabric, too.</p> <p>Thank you all for giving me some perspective! It's difficult for me to buy things without an outside opinion and I don't really have someone to shop with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dress-keep-or-return-1#post-282254 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 13:21:39 +0000 umayama 282254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the hands seem to be loose; in the last snap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dress-keep-or-return-1#post-282195 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 06:15:53 +0000 catgirl 282195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with LovesMoose. Is it possible to have it hemmed and/or tailored? The fabric is lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dress-keep-or-return-1#post-282179 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 05:19:10 +0000 Jenava 282179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it with the belt and the sleeves rolled up! I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dress-keep-or-return-1#post-282161 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 04:18:10 +0000 Sveta 282161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the color on you but not the style and fit. It looks too old for you so I vote pass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dress-keep-or-return-1#post-282159 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 04:12:05 +0000 Anonymous 282159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks better belted, but the hemline isn't very flattering. Also, I think this dress looks a bit dated on you instead of fresh and current. I'm a huge fan of vintage inspired fashion, but this dress has a bit of a wayward 80s vibe going on. Forgive me for being so blunt. :o) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dress-keep-or-return-1#post-282034 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 01:01:10 +0000 Jonesy 282034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color and pattern of this dress, and, like you, prefer it belted with the sleeves rolled up (4). I think it's really cute on you, and I can see it working as a great layering dress this winter. If it was really on sale, and it's comfy, and you feel good in it, I say keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dress-keep-or-return-1#post-281953 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 21:14:07 +0000 CocoLion 281953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Then it's probably just the camera angle. I say keep then! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dress-keep-or-return-1#post-281951 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 21:10:43 +0000 Astrid 281951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, you are right, although I would have thought the top half to be more problematic.</p> <p>CocoLion, you're right that I would have to belt it. I don't know about the hem, but if I look in the mirror, the hem looks even. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dress-keep-or-return-1#post-281942 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 21:01:35 +0000 CocoLion 281942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. But you definitely MUST belt it; a variety of belts would work.</p> <p>There is just one concern I have -- the front seems to be longer than the sides (or is that an illusion). The unevenness of the hem puts the dress a little into flimsy or cheapy territory. If you can adjust it so it hangs properly (pressing?) then I would keep it. If this can't be corrected, you might want to return it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dress-keep-or-return-1#post-281937 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 20:52:12 +0000 Mo 281937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks a little shapeless on the bottom to me. Almost like a tunic top that's a few inches too long if that makes sense. I'd keep looking for a better fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dress-keep-or-return-1#post-281933 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 20:39:39 +0000 Astrid 281933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this dress today because I liked the color and pattern, but I'm still a little undecided about the fit. It was drastically on sale, so I thought I would take it home with me and have you all take a look. I'm wearing this with a slip dress underneath, which was included with the dress.</p> <p>#1 That's how it looks when I don't change anything. I think it looks a little boring.</p> <p>#2 Not cinched in with the string from the dress, but belted. You can see that the upper part of the dress is a little too big.</p> <p>#3 With the collar turned down.</p> <p>#4 With the sleeves rolled up. That's the look I like most. </p> <p>#5 That's closer to the real color. You can see again that there's too much room at the sides. That's a problem I have almost everytime with dresses, because of my small bust.</p> <p>Should I keep it? Or return it, since it doesn't fit 100% right? </p>
