The plaid dress is fun - swirly suede - whouldathink? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-frock-love-and-styling-suggestions#post-835420 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 01:56:37 +0000 CocoLion 835420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry I so seldom wear dresses I can't come up with many ideas. But I wanted to say the suede dress is most unusual and gorgeous on you. Once you fix the zipper that will be a killer dress on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-frock-love-and-styling-suggestions#post-835413 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 01:51:27 +0000 lyn* 835413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually ... they refunded me more (dress + shipping)... and let me keep the dress. Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-frock-love-and-styling-suggestions#post-835408 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 01:48:22 +0000 Nicole D 835408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore #1 - and I would like to see it with a blazer to balance out the drapiness. #2 is so flattering in cut - and suede is luxurious. PLaid is a bit different for you, I agree it needs a bit of punky/funky styling. SO, they refunded your dough and let you keep the dress? Yay indeed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-frock-love-and-styling-suggestions#post-835349 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 01:08:07 +0000 Aida 835349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both dresses! I think the second one could be styled in a delightfully 70s way if you add some tall boots. Or a bit punky if you add a cropped leather/moto/denim jacket. Or more classically if you add a longer blazer. Initially I thought it wasn't as cute as what you normally go for, but really the cut comes across as rather cute so I kind of like the fabric juxtaposition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-frock-love-and-styling-suggestions#post-835207 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 23:21:12 +0000 lyn* 835207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! It'd be perfect for sleighrides </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-frock-love-and-styling-suggestions#post-835200 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 23:17:06 +0000 catgirl 835200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, I am terrible with dress styling suggestions, but you are adorable in this frock! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-frock-love-and-styling-suggestions#post-835194 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 23:09:21 +0000 lyn* 835194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm; I dunno if I could layer under it ... I sort of have fat arms, so that's why I usually avoid sleeved dresses. Maybe my faux leather jackets might work! </p> <p>Thanks, Thistle!</p> <p>I tugged the zipper a bit, and it might not be too broken! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-frock-love-and-styling-suggestions#post-835174 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 22:44:30 +0000 Thistle 835174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If the dress makes you feel like Kate Middleton (which I assume is a good thing), it is a keeper.</p> <p>As for the second dress . . . if you need more warmth, could you layer under it? Also, what about a belt with it? Perhaps a jacket instead of a cardi?</p> <p>I would see what the cost of having a seamstrss repair the zipper would be. That would basically be the cost of the dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-frock-love-and-styling-suggestions#post-835151 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 22:25:50 +0000 lyn* 835151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, Suz, it's made of suede ... I didn't know this when I ordered it, and it didn't say this in the description either! </p> <p>LOL. Makes me feel very Albertan :p</p> <p>I find that the sleeves are very grippy and kind of slurp along my cardigans, but maybe I'll try a bigger one? Or maybe I should mod it somehow to make it less grippy? :p It will be a good skating dress. I won't be sliding too far when I fall on my bum bum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-frock-love-and-styling-suggestions#post-835146 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 22:21:51 +0000 Suz 835146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anything that makes you feel like Kate Middleton has got to be good! So yay to the first one. </p> <p>I am confused about the second dress, the plaid one. Did you say it is suede? Wow. </p> <p>It seems to me it's a great winter dress for you - does it work with any of your jackets and cardigans? I might wear with tall boots, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-frock-love-and-styling-suggestions#post-835107 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 21:54:09 +0000 lyn* 835107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was originally going to be a K&amp;R, but this dress is so comfortable and flattering (and makes me feel like Kate Middleton minus belly bump) that I'm totally going to keep it. And a steal at under $50! I am in love with this brand too - Darling UK - and I've stalked forever until there was a sale :(</p> <p>Plain dress - 2<br /> Dress w/ Cardigan - 1, 3<br /> Dress as a top! - 4, 5</p> <p>Now; the problem comes with this other dress (6, 7). It's texture is a heavy suede and it's quite pretty in terms of its cut and colouring, but I don't think it's quite my style? Or at least it seems quite plain right now without anything exciting happening to it - It came with a busted zipper; so I was going to return it, but the online company decided to give me a refund when I sent them the pic of the broken zip (8, YAY GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE!) So; I hope to fix it and put it in rotation if I had any styling tips.</p> <p>Any helpful ideas? :)</p> <p>ETA: Sorry about my blurry pics today, it was cold outside and I think my hand is still shaking. :p </p>
