However, I believe both dresses look smashing on you!</p> <p>As for proportions - I think if you shorten your hemlines by a couple inches, both dresses would work with the long boots. I am not generally a fan of shorter boots with knee-length or mid-dresses because they shorten the form. But that's just my aesthetic preference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3/page/2#post-546672 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 19:02:33 +0000 Louise 546672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Katiepea I need to play dress up, in my minds eye it's perfect with heeled boots.</p> <p>Angie thank you for the confirmation, I think my eye needs to adjust to the length with flat boots</p> <p>QM I have a wonky radar at the moment and just wasn't sure if it was chic or silly!</p> <p>Heather thanks for the hugs. The second dress is definatly going back but there are other designs in the first one which I may have to try x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3/page/2#post-546478 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 15:14:35 +0000 Heather 546478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Louise!! HUGS, HUGS, HUGS. So great to SEE you. :D</p> <p>I am a fan of the shorter frock, but if both come in that length, then you should nab both. They fit you like a dream. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3/page/2#post-546477 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 15:11:58 +0000 Queen Mum 546477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you're keeping #1... I love that one with the tall boots. So chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3#post-546463 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 14:51:34 +0000 Angie 546463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE #1 with the long boots! You look lovely and a little edgy at the same time. The length is brilliant on you, and on trend. To my eye, this is a very Louise look. </p> <p>LOVE #2 with either length of boot! But understand that you feel uncomfortable in the bias cut so return if you feel that's best. Although it looks amazing, you have to be comfy. Otherwise this frock will end up an orphan. </p> <p>Nice to see you post again, Louise. We miss you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3#post-546338 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 06:40:45 +0000 Katiepea 546338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both the dresses although I can completely understand about the need to be comfortable. I have to say the idea of #1 in the shorter length really grabs me! Be sure to let us know what you decide. Oh, and I also want to see the dress with the booties to, pretty please! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3#post-546317 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 05:37:07 +0000 fashionista 546317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved the second dress with long boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3#post-546300 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 04:48:46 +0000 Louise 546300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm still not sure about it with the boots I think perhaps because they're flat? I've got a couple of pairs of ankle boots with a bit of a heel I think I need to try it with those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3#post-546065 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 01:15:00 +0000 Freckles 546065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Claire, can you try the first dress on with shoes instead of boots? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3#post-546011 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:36:08 +0000 Makrame 546011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both of these but the first one is just incredible on you! It may look even better in a shorter length, but to be honest, the midi length looks perfect to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3#post-545923 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 22:50:18 +0000 Louise 545923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa I'm leaning towards a shorter length in the 1st dress though I do want to try midis x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3#post-545828 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 20:51:59 +0000 Lisa 545828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both with the shorter boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3#post-545749 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 18:37:56 +0000 Louise 545749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the reply's x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3#post-545473 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 05:54:37 +0000 Aziraphale 545473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both! They are very flattering and I like both prints -- they look retro to me, in a good way. I think I prefer the shorter length, as on the second dress, but either pair of boots will work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3#post-545444 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 04:54:18 +0000 Anonymous 545444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like the first dress best and love the midi length on you with either boot. It shows off your great figure. I like the sleeve length best on the first dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3#post-545418 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 03:55:34 +0000 ManidipaM 545418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You like brilliant in that first one! I'm in the minority here, but I think the midi length looks very stylish on you. Of course you could always try on the shorter one and see which you prefer. I like the dress with both boots too --- the feel of the outfit changes, but they both look great with the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3#post-545399 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 03:23:06 +0000 Transcona Shannon 545399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both look great on you, but if #1 feels better on, then I would go with that one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3#post-545393 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 03:05:02 +0000 Kari 545393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both, but #1 is my favorite. I'm sorry that the cut on #2 bugs you - if so, good move to return it! Are you comfortable enough in #1?<br /> I quite like #1 with the Doc Martens - the taller boots. The proportions look good to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3#post-545387 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 02:56:41 +0000 Jem 545387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them both, too. Too bad the 2nd one isn't comfortable. And, yes, I am jealous of your grey docs! I'm not sure about the length, I think I like both lengths. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3#post-545380 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 02:43:17 +0000 sarah 545380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them both! And I think I like the first one in the longer midi length - you can pull that off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3#post-545219 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 23:24:19 +0000 keruchina 545219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the first one in the shorter length! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3#post-545216 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 23:21:27 +0000 san 545216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are both beautiful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3#post-545215 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 23:21:12 +0000 machanteuse (Lori) 545215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Claire - I'd love to see the first dress in the shorter length. The wrap style looks wonderful on you. I had a blast shopping in M&amp;S when we spent three weeks in the UK several years ago! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3#post-545208 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 23:11:54 +0000 Anonymous 545208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Louise, I really like the idea of the first one in the shorter length.I looks like it fits really well and flatters your figure. The longer length might work better with a heeled pump. I love Marks and Spencer and miss being able duck in there every once in a while. Great frocks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3#post-545194 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 22:45:58 +0000 Louise 545194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm certain I'm returning the second one the cut annoys me too much!<br /> Ornella they are both from Marks &amp; Spencer<br /> Anya the dress is available in a shorter length which would certainly be easier to wear I was wondering about jumping on the midi band wagon but don't want to give myself a headache trying to style it!<br /> Nakidra that's why I adore dresses too sooo easy to throw on and you're out the door in double quick time x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3#post-545187 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 22:21:33 +0000 Nakidra 545187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both, but I prefer the first one on you. The wrap style is really, really flattering on you. I adore dresses - so easy to get dressed in the morning, just pull on and go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3#post-545184 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 22:16:24 +0000 Anonymous 545184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know i have one rayon dress cut exactly like that. I too felt the midi length wasn't fab on me and shortened it to knee-length. A cheap and easy alteration. You can do this with both of your dresses. They are truly fab in every other way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-3#post-545171 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 21:44:10 +0000 Meredith1953 545171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the second one best!
