(have you tried an ice pack?)<br /> For someone like me who spends about 8 hours a day in a super cold workspace, I am looking forward to the long sleeves! The material is very light and soft, so pushing up the sleeves doesn't cause much bulk either. Overall I am very happy with it :-)</p> <p>Thank you Reneeb! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return/page/2#post-310235 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 15:39:41 +0000 Angie 310235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 is KILLER. Love that one best. But is it practical for FL? </p> <p>The other dresses are fabulous too, Vani </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return/page/2#post-310127 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 04:54:56 +0000 Reneeb 310127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to post but I love the dress in # 3 it is gorgeous on you and #2 looks very good also. Your hair cute is so pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return/page/2#post-310119 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 04:43:48 +0000 Janet 310119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just snorted at "shoulder boulders." Some days that's certainly what they feel like! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return/page/2#post-310103 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 04:16:40 +0000 Vani 310103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol...for a while there we were calling them "shoulder boulders". I really like the new military style shirt dresses but I can't get past the polyester. 90 degree weather and thick polyester don't mix well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return/page/2#post-309943 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 00:24:20 +0000 thimblelina 309943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just got back from Target... They've got some cute stuff right now! Lots of spring camels and army greens which I love. And I found things that fit me across the "chesticles" as I understand we are now calling our bosoms in this forum L. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return#post-309785 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 18:57:40 +0000 Vani 309785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, thanks AJ!! I saw some cute new dresses in the same price point at Target today so I'm leaning heavily towards returning the black sheath also. I'm wearing my current black sheath today and I love everything about it so I guess I should just gun for an investment sheath at this point.</p> <p>Thanks thimbelina! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return#post-309748 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 17:56:02 +0000 thimblelina 309748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that BR dress on you! L. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return#post-309733 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 17:34:03 +0000 AJ 309733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vani, first I just want to say that I am gaga over your new hairstyle!!!! Luv it!</p> <p>I like 3 the best...it just flatters your figure so well! Keep!</p> <p>The other two are OK. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return#post-309685 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 16:16:57 +0000 Vani 309685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much everyone!!</p> <p>Since 3 gets a unanimous vote, it is staying for sure! I think I will hang on to 2 while I holdout for something with sleeves or even the BR dress to go on sale in other colors (I have another month before I have to return). </p> <p>Now coming to 3. I had to laugh out loud because you are all so right. I felt the same, but then I always think my "chesticles" (trying out the new addition to YLF lingo) are always out there in your face anyways so I had to see if it was just me or if everybody felt the same. The colorblocking makes it look gorgeous but the devil is in the details and this dress just doesn't cut it. So back it goes.</p> <p>You all make it SO easy for me. Thank you!!!</p> <p>Sparky, absolutely - the shoes are Nine West teal wedges. Sorry I can't recall the model but if it helps I picked them up at an outlet store just over a year ago.</p> <p>Bella, thanks much! I am stumbling through learning to style it but I do love it too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return#post-309672 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 16:04:31 +0000 Kate 309672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for keep 2 and 3! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return#post-309661 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 15:54:31 +0000 Vix 309661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 for sure (looks like that's a popular opinion!) and I also like #2 on you a lot. </p> <p>#1 could probably be fixed with alterations and I like the retro neckline...but the colorblocking does highlight certain assets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return#post-309651 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 15:43:06 +0000 MNsara 309651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm voting keep #3 for sure! Keep #2 next - both are black, but the two styles and sleeve lengths make them different enough if you don't already have multiple black dresses.</p> <p>#1 is not as flattering - yes, the darts are poorly done but could be adjusted. However, the specific color blocking defines the bust pretty dramatically (can't help but it reminds me of Viking women!) Woud you wear a jacket over it? That might make a big difference? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return#post-309645 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 15:36:17 +0000 Mo 309645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of these! Especially since they were $30 and you don't have the requirement of them being absolute 10's - keep 'em all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return#post-309639 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 15:33:52 +0000 Lisa 309639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote 2 and 3. The color blocking is odd in #1, although the shape and fit are nice. #2 looks like a nice basic with some texture already in the dress. #3 is just lovely and my favorite of the group. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return#post-309638 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 15:33:17 +0000 Dani 309638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't looked at the other response yet so here goes...definitely keep the wrap dress. You look so gorgeous in it. In fact, the other two pictures pale in comparison. The second dress isn't bad so (probably a 7.5 - 8) so if you need it to be a workhorse, I can see it filling that part. The first dress makes you look top heavy to my eye, I would return. I think you can find a more flattering color blocked dress this season so I'd hold out. That's my 2 cents </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return#post-309614 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 15:22:27 +0000 Kappy 309614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3 is awesome, 2 is great and looks very versatile, you can't keep 1. I noticed the darts before reading your comment, and they are droopy darts to boot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return#post-309613 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 15:21:47 +0000 Debbie 309613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would keep 2 and 3. Their beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return#post-309611 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 15:20:13 +0000 kellygirl 309611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 3--a keeper for sure. It fits like a dream and is uber flattering and a bit shexy because it highlights your curves. I think 2 is a nice basic--it's not a 10 but it looks versatile and polished. For the price, it is worth considering as a keeper. I love the idea of 1 but honestly, the bust darts are like arrows. I always sneak a peek at pics before reading text and those darts were the first thing I noticed. That one's a return, IMHO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return#post-309588 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 14:55:13 +0000 Queen Mum 309588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely keep #3... that one is fab.<br /> #2 is great too... if it fills a need, keep that one too.<br /> I thought the bust area of #1 was awkward and bulky looking even before reading your commentary. I'd return that one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return#post-309585 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 14:49:51 +0000 rae 309585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Without reading the other posts, in order of appearance, I'd say: 7, 9, 10. Definitely keep #3! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return#post-309550 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 14:05:51 +0000 Anonymous 309550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous in dresses! Keep 3 for sure. I have more than my share of black sheath dresses in different lengths and fabrics and wear them often, so suppport your keeping #2. I like the bit longer length for a change.<br /> As chouette22 said, maybe the dart problem of the first dress is more noticable in photos, but I vote return because you will probably not wear it with the photo image in your head. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return#post-309546 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 14:01:52 +0000 teri 309546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd keep #3 then #2........ let # 1 go </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return#post-309544 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 14:00:47 +0000 Velma 309544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vani, I love both the second and third--you look gorgeous in them--unless that is too much black for you. If you want just one black dress, keep #3, and perhaps return #2 for a different color if one is available?</p> <p>I'm sorry to say this, but I noticed the pointy bust darts in #1 before I read your remarks. I also find the color-blocking over the bust and waist a little odd--like a bikini or something? I can't imagine that most women would want to attract the eye to the lighter areas--just an odd design. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return#post-309542 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 13:53:47 +0000 bella 309542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think everything looks like a 15 with your new haircut! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return#post-309541 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 13:49:50 +0000 Janet 309541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The third one is by far my favorite on you! #2 comes in a very respectable second, and #1 is a distant third. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return#post-309538 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 13:33:00 +0000 Anonymous 309538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love, love, love the third one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return#post-309532 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 12:51:37 +0000 laurad 309532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All are cute but if you must return something, return #1. I see what you mean about the darts, don't want anyone getting the wrong idea. But #3 is awesome!! It's really the perfect fit for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-for-summer-keep-or-return#post-309530 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 12:38:46 +0000 chouette22 309530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like all three of them. I see what you mean in #1, but maybe that just gets accentuated in the picture? It sure looks great on you! </p>
