I'd call that tea length then. Looks good on you Ginger on "New Easter Dress" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-easter-dress/page/2#post-2356046 Mon, 25 Mar 2024 13:50:47 +0000 Ginger 2356046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nadya, that is a beautiful dress, and I love it with the yellow shirt/jacket!  Karie, I missing Charming Charlie too. They've reopened a few stores; the closest to me is only 30 minutes away, but in a direction I don't usually go. Zaeobi, the dress length on me is pretty much the same as the model. I'm just taking a phone picture close to the mirror. I'm 5'9", definitely not short. It's hard to find maxi dresses that are truly maxi on me! That's great, BlueJay! I appreciate the Dillard's love.  I've wondered that too, Carla. I know I actively enjoy sewing on pretty fabrics more than plain ones. I never really have done a "spring makeover," but that sounds like a good tradition. Thank you, Ket! And you've certainly found some terrific things at Dillard's as well.

You look utterl beautiful <3 adore the green with it. And agree to try a good red. I am very fond of red paired with blush. I have found the best quality, most memorable, long-life items at Dillard’s. Last year I purchased a wonderful pair of sandals, SOFFT brand gladiators in pewter metallic. 12 years ago, it was the most beautiful peach and chocolate leopard print scarf. In silk. On sale. It was showing it’s age but still going strong. (Currently packed away due to the house situation.) I don’t shop there all the time but when I do magic happens. Dresses. I bought a flirty striped number last Nov. And then these two t-shirt dresses to wear with moto jackets or kimonos.

You look gorgeous! The colours complement you very well. The braided headband is very clever. I like shopping at Dillard's. We don't have any in Canada so when we are in the U.S. and if there is a Dillard's nearby, I like to go in and look around.  Zaeobi on "New Easter Dress" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-easter-dress#post-2355776 Fri, 22 Mar 2024 04:36:20 +0000 Zaeobi 2355776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ A braided headband is genius! Well, test drive the floral dress first & you can always go back for the green one if it passes with flying colours Haha I can empathise with the bust & hip situation, since I think you & I have similar fit challenges. It seems the dress is longer on you than the model - ankle- or full-length? Would you remind me of your height again? Good luck with your service prep I still get nervous before teaching a new class, even though I've done it for years, so I know how it goes. Karie on "New Easter Dress" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-easter-dress#post-2355758 Fri, 22 Mar 2024 00:49:18 +0000 Karie 2355758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gorgeous! That style is perfect on you. I miss Charming Charlie. They went out of business around here. Nadya on "New Easter Dress" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-easter-dress#post-2355747 Thu, 21 Mar 2024 23:16:19 +0000 Nadya 2355747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love that dress and it looks made for you! What a joyous thing for Easter.   <div> </div><div>I recently bought a floral dress for a warm weather vacation last month. I wore it with this shirt tied at the waist like a little jacket. (The yellows work better in person than they look on screen.) Very happy colors for me and I think the second floral item (other than scarves) in my closet right now. </div> Ginger on "New Easter Dress" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-easter-dress#post-2355746 Thu, 21 Mar 2024 22:42:51 +0000 Ginger 2355746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ cat2, I've loved the Antonio Melani line but haven't tried Code Bleu yet. Rose gold is an excellent idea; I'd probably wear rose gold pumps but my awesome Cole Haan ones tore! I'll probably at least do rose gold jewelry. Sharan, you're so right about prints. This type of floral is one of my favorites, being larger in scale and not muddy even from a distance. And I like how I can match the brighter colors (the red and green) with accessories without them standing out too much. Angie, I have a great pair of red summer sandals! I think I would do something other than the green bag with them, and definitely not a red hat for Easter (if I had one). It will be fun to try different ones throughout the year. And also, your new dresses look perfect for you! It's really awesome to see these lightweight but crisper cottons available in interesting styles and longer lengths. Suz, yes! I was stalking the green one before I saw there was a floral version! I really REALLY want it. It's a gorgeous green, not too blue. But I'm crossing my fingers it goes on sale before going out of stock. At full price the floral was a splurge. Suntiger, my mom lived in a cooler climate when she was little and they used to get Easter coats! It makes so much more sense than just an Easter dress. Even here in Texas Easter weather can be chancy. We've had ice and snow more than once in my memory. Not much, but it happened. Zaeobi, I think this is the first long, true wrap dress I've ever owned. Usually they're too deep open in front and waaaay too small in the hip, so I'm risking a malfunction just standing still. This one is cut perfect! I really want to get the solid green as well. And my hair is actually a (separate) braided headband! My hair is really too long to do wrap around braids very well. But the headband both keeps the non-fringe hair back, and I can braid or bun the rest of my hair up with it while it helps support the weight. JAileen, that looks like the perfect dress for the occasion. Crispy and breezy. Perfect with flat sandals. Ginger on "New Easter Dress" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-easter-dress#post-2355745 Thu, 21 Mar 2024 22:31:56 +0000 Ginger 2355745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you all so much for the kind words. I am really excited to wear this dress next week. I sing (in choir) for three services Sunday morning, so it helps to have a really pretty dress to look forward to when I get up super early! A few notes: Kate, I wore hats to church on Easter when I was little. I started again about 8-10 years ago. At first I was nervous that it would be a problem in choir (causing a new dress code rule) but so far so good!  Sal, winter dresses do seem to be harder to find. Sweater dresses are mostly what I have for winter. Absolutely, Lynette! I'll be wearing this dress frequently for a long time. Bijou, your new dress is beautiful! It's a super interesting cut and material. I hope you post a WIW when you wear it. Jenni, I do know that phrase! Though I think I read it in an Anne of Green Gables book. Thank you!  Joy, pink coat with white sounds really lovely. Easter here tends to be chilly; just a funny quirk, since spring temps go up and down a lot. I don't mind having long sleeves, and I'll for sure want a second layer outside. unfrumped, you are so right. I'm so used to pinning crossover tops that I was actually nonplussed to see the hook at the front! I'm exceedingly impressed at the details included in this dress. JAileen on "New Easter Dress" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-easter-dress#post-2355694 Thu, 21 Mar 2024 00:28:20 +0000 JAileen 2355694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look just lovely in this dress!  The colors and the style look like it was custom made for you. I bought a casual dress for a party this summer at my mother’s retirement home.  The fact that it’s a dress rather than pants will make it seem really dressy!  I’ll probably wear nice flat sandals with it. Zaeobi on "New Easter Dress" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-easter-dress#post-2355683 Wed, 20 Mar 2024 23:09:20 +0000 Zaeobi 2355683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love a long wrap dress - yours looks & fits great! Both green & red accessories sound lovely on you. Hope you have a great Easter service. I don't celebrate it myself but it'll be Eid-ul-Fitr the week after, so will still be in the spring mood But I'm most intrigued by your hair! Have you plaited (braided) it in the back? Works nicely with your fringe (bangs). Lol, British to USA translations! Suntiger on "New Easter Dress" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-easter-dress#post-2355672 Wed, 20 Mar 2024 20:43:47 +0000 Suntiger 2355672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Perfect for you- and yay to the green accessories! Plus Easter is often cold, at least here, so good idea to have sleeves. I used to buy summery Easter dresses then wouldn't be able to wear them cause it would be cold and rainy- made me mad! Angie on "New Easter Dress" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-easter-dress#post-2355660 Wed, 20 Mar 2024 17:39:57 +0000 Angie 2355660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ To answer you question Ginger, YES! I replaced three old passed on Summer dresses with these. The belted styles look great unbelted too. Lengths are longer on me. 100% cotton, covered, woven, pretty, and make me feel polished and carefree Suz on "New Easter Dress" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-easter-dress#post-2355659 Wed, 20 Mar 2024 17:15:02 +0000 Suz 2355659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is so lovely on you -- your pleasure in it is obvious from the photos and what a gorgeous choice! I think accessorizing with green will be perfect for spring!  I love how you described the details of the construction. It's clearly a well made item! Good to know.  Are you tempted by the green version, too? Maybe if it goes on sale!  Joyce B on "New Easter Dress" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-easter-dress#post-2355656 Wed, 20 Mar 2024 17:01:10 +0000 Joyce B 2355656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Beautiful dress on you. kkards on "New Easter Dress" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-easter-dress#post-2355655 Wed, 20 Mar 2024 16:59:59 +0000 kkards 2355655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ that dress just says SPRING!

Pretty, dramatic, and swooshy. Winning combination! LOVE THIS ON YOU, GINGER :) The green support act is fun! I'm with Roberta on trying a red support act too. Or metallic. Firecracker (Sharan) on "New Easter Dress" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-easter-dress#post-2355645 Wed, 20 Mar 2024 16:25:39 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2355645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <div>Ginger, that dress is stunning on you. Prints can be so hard to get right (let alone the fit and style of the dress!) and this one suits you beautifully. Your bag and shoes are fantastic with it, too. </div><div> </div><div>Bijou, yours is gorgeous, too. Glad it found you! </div> cat2 on "New Easter Dress" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-easter-dress#post-2355636 Wed, 20 Mar 2024 15:09:42 +0000 cat2 2355636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ How fun! I have been similarly pleased with the quality of the Dillards Antonio Melani and Code Bleu brands. Much better than Nordstrom or Macy’s. The dress would also be great with rose gold accessories if you are in a metallics mood. unfrumped on "New Easter Dress" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-easter-dress#post-2355634 Wed, 20 Mar 2024 14:55:38 +0000 unfrumped 2355634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Just divine! And the details you describe sound high- quality. Usually I have to add things like that mostly make something wearable.

Anonymous on "New Easter Dress" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-easter-dress#post-2355630 Wed, 20 Mar 2024 14:31:26 +0000 Anonymous 2355630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Easter this year is early so too cold for a dress.  I plan to wear a woolen suit under a coat to stay warm.  I froze at an Easter sunrise service in college.  Never again.  Easter can be cold.  If I wear a dress it would be a sweater dress with stockings and maybe snow boots.  I try for spring colors at least.  I usually wear a pink coat and white accessories. We go to an 8 am service. It is still cold.  Olive Green on "New Easter Dress" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-easter-dress#post-2355608 Wed, 20 Mar 2024 09:44:50 +0000 Olive Green 2355608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow.

Do you remember that old-fashioned saying “You look like you just stepped out of a bandbox”?! It’s a compliment if you don’t know the saying. I used it about a decade ago to two younger women (than me, so maybe they were in their 40s at the time) and they didn’t know what I meant. We had to Google it! Such a pretty floral. The last new dress I bought was in late 2022 for the 2023 wedding in Canada. Still love the dress and have worn it since. I love your green shoes and bag. Bijou on "New Easter Dress" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-easter-dress#post-2355601 Wed, 20 Mar 2024 08:12:08 +0000 Bijou 2355601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow - that is beautiful on you. I bought a new shirt dress on the weekend. Whilst I don't need any new dresses, the lace detail and good fit meant that it had to come home with me. Lynette on "New Easter Dress" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-easter-dress#post-2355597 Wed, 20 Mar 2024 04:23:30 +0000 Lynette 2355597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow!
