I also find ebay a good solution for a lot of smaller things - and go a bit crazy on our trips out of the country. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-opinions-needed#post-65108 Tue, 12 May 2009 08:24:18 +0000 HannahC 65108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia, I used Mustop (www.mustop.co.il). In the hindsight, I am not sure it is worth it, though - they charge for shipping AND for customs. It might be worth it for something extra special or extra on sale.</p> <p>There are very few US stores that ship to Israel, unfortunately. I know about Martin&#38;Osa (www.martinandosa.com), and Victoria Secret (don't remember the website). The shipping charges are pretty steep, though.</p> <p>I do order quite a lot from Boden, who does ship to Israel (www.boden.co.uk). There is a shipping charge, but you get a discount because you don't pay VAT when ordering from outside of UK, so it pretty much cancels each other.</p> <p>I came to the conclusion that ebay might be the best place for us to shop. They have quite a lot of stuff with shipping to Israel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-opinions-needed#post-65077 Tue, 12 May 2009 02:09:05 +0000 Jaime 65077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all, I agree with everyone that the black dress looks fantastic. If you don't mind I have another question - how are you shopping at ATL in Israel? Are you ordering things by mail, shopping while abroad, or is someone bringing you your orders? Hope you don't mind the question - I like a lot of the stores here in Israel, but sometimes would like to be able to order online! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-opinions-needed#post-65038 Mon, 11 May 2009 22:13:41 +0000 crwilson 65038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The teal dress is super comfy too. You look great in the ruffle wrap dress - I tried it on, and it just didn't work for me. You and Shiny look super in it though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-opinions-needed#post-65030 Mon, 11 May 2009 20:01:09 +0000 HannahC 65030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much everyone! </p> <p>I will try the teal dress with the cardigans I have and also with wrap tops - I think it might work. Maybe even tomorrow if the weather cooperates (it was unusually cool here lately). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-opinions-needed#post-65004 Mon, 11 May 2009 17:21:28 +0000 sinead 65004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hannah, I also wanted to say you just look fantastic in that black dress. And I love that teal cardigan; the teal dress does need a layer. Please don't worry about these hemlines- they may feel short to you, but they don't look that way at all.</p> <p>I'm with San about learning how to layer here on YLF- it's opened up so many possibilities. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-opinions-needed#post-64998 Mon, 11 May 2009 17:05:02 +0000 Vani 64998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hannah, you are going to ROCK your birthday dinner in that terrific black ruffle dress. I wanted it really bad but the time I got around to it it was all sold out online and in the stores. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-opinions-needed#post-64993 Mon, 11 May 2009 16:57:21 +0000 medusa 64993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with everyone - the black dress is fantastic! I was also worried about the teal, but with a layer over it it looks good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-opinions-needed#post-64990 Mon, 11 May 2009 16:51:57 +0000 Anonymous 64990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HannahC you look so good in the dresses. The black one is gorgeous. The teal one is also gorgeous but the black is a little bit better because it hugs your curves in all the right places. I'm glad you decided to keep both. I am learning alot here about layering something over another piece to change the shape of the whole ensemble. I never would have thought of that pre YLF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-opinions-needed#post-64988 Mon, 11 May 2009 16:43:24 +0000 HannahC 64988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shiny! Yes, I suspected there is a serious danger of flashing in the black dress. I will make sure I wear a cami, or else I might use a safety pin to hold the neckline together. I am thinking a cami in a contrasting color will look nice ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-opinions-needed#post-64973 Mon, 11 May 2009 16:00:49 +0000 shiny 64973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hannah, we are twins in our killer black dresses!!!! You look amazing. Love it on you! I think yours hits you just a bit longer than mine does. Perfect length! </p> <p>I wore mine yesterday out to brunch over skinnies, which worked great, and rec'd high marks of approval from DD16, who said I looked "very euro." </p> <p>One tip: be sure to wear a cami underneath. I discovered that when you sit down, especially if you lean forward, the neckline gapes open. I am so glad I had a cami on, otherwise I'd have flashed everyone some serious cleavage! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-opinions-needed#post-64918 Mon, 11 May 2009 07:30:13 +0000 lwc 64918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the black dress on you, and I think that you can do a lot with it: date night; with leggings; over jeans...Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-opinions-needed#post-64911 Mon, 11 May 2009 06:50:15 +0000 HannahC 64911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much everyone! Angie, wow - thanks!! I am planning to wear the black dress to go out with my husband on my birthday, so I am very happy it got such a high mark from you (and everyone else). </p> <p>I think I will keep the teal dress too, because the color is pretty, and it is comfortable. I also like the no-danger-of-overexposure neckline. I will indeed try to layer it with a cardi of a different color (teal over teal somehow sounds boring to me).</p> <p>I have to get used to the length of both dresses. I usually wear hems that just cover my knees, and these don't (they stop just above the kneecap). But I guess it still looks ok, I just have to become comfortable with this length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-opinions-needed#post-64897 Mon, 11 May 2009 04:25:05 +0000 Angie 64897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER black wrap dress. My goodness. I mean K-I-L-L-E-R. I almost fell off my chair! WOW. WOW. WOW. I need to recover…..</p> <p>Okay. I’ve recovered. I have NEVER seen you look better, HannaC. That dress is unbelievably fabulous on your hot curvy bod. And it’s really going to work in Israel. Love it!</p> <p>I like the teal dress but it pales in comparison to the black wrap. Very pretty colour on you though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-opinions-needed#post-64863 Mon, 11 May 2009 02:13:53 +0000 Kristen 64863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The black is really great on you! I was afraid to try that on one, but you are rockin' it! The teal, as others have mentioned, is not that flattering in the bust, but a cardigan might break that up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-opinions-needed#post-64862 Mon, 11 May 2009 02:10:54 +0000 Asha 64862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think the blue dress is as flattering as it could be - especially compared with the black dress. That looks GREAT on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-opinions-needed#post-64834 Sun, 10 May 2009 21:46:28 +0000 shana 64834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The black dress looks great on you! It's funny because I saw it in the store &#38; didn't think much of it but it looks so fab on you (and Shiny) - now I wish I had tried it on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-opinions-needed#post-64825 Sun, 10 May 2009 20:25:17 +0000 Kari 64825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Hannah, you look STUNNING in the black dress. Wow! It's so fun to see the exact same items work well on different YLF-ers with different body types.</p> <p>In my non-expert opinion, I think the blue dress will be fine for work with a top layer over it. It doesn't look too short to me - from the pics you posted, it looks like the dress hits at the knee, not above it. I actually don't think the teal-on-teal looks suit-like because the construction of the cardigan is pretty loose. It would be fun to see how you can play the teal up with other colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-opinions-needed#post-64821 Sun, 10 May 2009 19:45:50 +0000 tarzy 64821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others. The black dress is FAB! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-opinions-needed#post-64802 Sun, 10 May 2009 18:43:44 +0000 HannahC 64802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm ... the teal dress does draw an (unwanted) attention to my bust :(<br /> I guess I will wear it with a cardi then. On the bright side, there is no danger of being to "bare" then - if my shoulders will be covered, I will be fine for work. Right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-opinions-needed#post-64772 Sun, 10 May 2009 16:02:11 +0000 Alecia 64772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the black dress, too. Neither seem too short for you. I agree that the blue dress draws attention to your bust but that it would be good for layering. I like it with the cardi though you would definitely need a pop of color to complete that look. I bet you could find a nice patterned cardi to make things pop, if you you were so inclined. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-opinions-needed#post-64770 Sun, 10 May 2009 15:54:47 +0000 Elika 64770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree that the black dress looks very nice: love the ruffles! The blue one doesn't seem to have the most flattering neckline for you. It could be nice as a layering piece though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-opinions-needed#post-64768 Sun, 10 May 2009 15:26:28 +0000 chewyspaghetti 64768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the black ruffled dress- it looks great on you. The blue seems to draw attention to your bust. It's a really pretty color, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-dresses-opinions-needed#post-64766 Sun, 10 May 2009 15:13:47 +0000 HannahC 64766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought two dresses recently and would like to hear your opinions:</p> <p>1. Dusty teal dress from ATL - the same one as Christine (crwilson) bought: it looked so great on her, that I had to have it. Here is the photo: <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/66fhG-8Bq17Px-dVwoebOQ?authkey=Gv1sRgCNv4p_6wwI23bw&#038;feat=directlink" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/lh.....directlink</a><br /> A question: is it work appropriate? It is sleeveless and quite short (ends just above my knees), so is it too bare? And, is it flattering? Here it is with a lightweight cardigan in the same color from ATL as well: <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/hana.chockler/WhatIWore?authkey=Gv1sRgCNv4p_6wwI23bw#5332432779347626946" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/ha.....9347626946</a> (I am raising my arm to show you the sleeve detail ). It does feel a but "suit-like" with the cardigan, though ...<br /> 2. A black ruffle wrap dress from ATL (I believe Shiny has the same one, right?): <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/OqdXZxQCJeb5o5t1tbDh2Q?authkey=Gv1sRgCNv4p_6wwI23bw&#038;feat=directlink" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/lh.....directlink</a> What do you think? I usually never wear black during the summer, and this is really a summer dress, but it was so pretty that I caved ... For this dress, I won't even ask about work - clearly it is not work appropriate. Is it too short? Is it flattering?<br /> Seriously, what happened to hemlines this summer? I am only 5'3'', and these dresses don't even come to my knees.<br /> Thanks! </p>
