I love love dresses, but always have fit issues.</p> <p>And if they are going to make the dresses that short we should be paying them by the inch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-year-new-summer-dresses#post-1844337 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 22:32:37 +0000 unfrumped 1844337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Sara L said.<br /> I may not be shopping very intentionally, but I'm always on the lookout for a dress or 2. The very idea I'd be able to go get one right before the occasion-- hahaha!<br /> Paradoxically, fall/ mild winter dresses are a target because wearing with tights and shoes gives more wears than bare- legged occasions , or footwear options for sheer hose, except for dressy occasions when I can wear " sitting shoes".<br /> But still I'd love me a great summer wedding-guest dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-year-new-summer-dresses#post-1844305 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 20:23:43 +0000 rachylou 1844305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the well wishes! I feel I'm going to need them, when the dresses are so short I thought they were tops!</p> <p>Re. 'Repeating': Yes, that's true. Although, since I'm not working in an office anymore, wearing the same dress over and over feels more OK. I don't know why this is.</p> <p>Re. Waistline: Also true. To add to that, I'm short waisted. So often the top part will be a little baggy, and if I pull it down, the waist will really be hitting the top of my hips making things look funny. But I do truly have a little round Padding Bear tum. Voluminous rib cage or somethin'... lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-year-new-summer-dresses#post-1844300 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 20:00:53 +0000 Laura G 1844300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Adriana</b> that's what keeps me from buying dresses, although in many ways they're a natural for me: I love combining pieces to make an outfit, and I think I'd feel cheated with a wardrobe of all dresses. </p> <p>That said, my one dress purchase this spring was such a winner that I do think I'll get another couple. And <b>Rachylou</b>, since we still have at least a month of summer to go in California, I wouldn't wait till next year. Summer dresses are probably pretty picked over by now, so you might not find one, but I would look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-year-new-summer-dresses#post-1844279 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 18:39:58 +0000 Sheryl 1844279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Check Everlane. Depending on your height, the dresses may be at knee-length.&nbsp; I'm about 5'4', and the shirtdress I bought is way above knee-length on the model, but hits the middle of my knee.&nbsp; The oversized cut is JFE, and lets lots of air circulate to keep me cool.&nbsp; </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-year-new-summer-dresses#post-1844259 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 17:35:56 +0000 Sara L. 1844259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dresses are something I always keep my eye out for because they only turn up when I'm not actively looking. Whenever I specifically look for a dress, I can't find anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-year-new-summer-dresses#post-1844253 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 17:11:01 +0000 Beth Ann 1844253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe a shift in silhouette is in order? &nbsp;Frankly, I think that many of the dress silhouettes, while lovely, have a high waistline that can make someone look a little fuller even when, like you, they're quite trim. &nbsp; I could see you in a dropped waist dress --- very French, oooh la la and all that!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-year-new-summer-dresses#post-1844162 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 11:55:15 +0000 Bijou 1844162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy, finding dresses that are not above the knee is a major challenge in my local shops too. Hope you find the elusive perfect dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-year-new-summer-dresses#post-1844125 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 08:09:56 +0000 Adriana 1844125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Give me the warning as well. I'm always to late. A feeling I have with dresses is: ok I have a dress. You wear it one day, needs to get washed. And what to wear the next day? A dress is easy, but not flexible. It always looks the same. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-year-new-summer-dresses#post-1844124 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 08:09:18 +0000 Kaelyn 1844124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for summer dresses! &nbsp;I just bought one I can wear year-round except the coldest months in my climate. &nbsp;I hope you find some excellent new ones next year. &nbsp;Changing body shape sounds like a good opportunity to try a new style that intrigues you. &nbsp;Have fun with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-year-new-summer-dresses#post-1844122 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 07:24:09 +0000 Mirjana 1844122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Buy some new and try some of old ones you look the best and wear them with pleasure summer is still....... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-year-new-summer-dresses#post-1844121 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 07:19:14 +0000 Laura G 1844121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, the Midwesterners are going, summer lightning so what? But I'm in California too and it was...well, I've never seen anything like it before. But it's not like our climate is changing or anything. No. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-year-new-summer-dresses#post-1844117 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 07:03:00 +0000 rachylou 1844117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It would be nice if I did find something, Jane! It was 92+ (33+) today and we had a big, afternoon thru evening thunder and lightning storm. This is really quite unheard of. A better dress or two is not uncalled for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-year-new-summer-dresses#post-1844114 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 06:58:53 +0000 Jane 1844114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol. </p> <p>Summer dresses are hard I think, but good to get one now especially if October is going to be hot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-year-new-summer-dresses#post-1844112 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 06:47:49 +0000 rachylou 1844112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy... seriously, a double alarm situation! Lol.</p> <p>Jenn, I really hope so. I went around today and OMG... I had a look at a couple of tops... only to see them labelled as dresses! All that was missing was the ruffled underpants, for a complete two-year old's getup.</p> <p>Barbara Diane... you make me think of Nordstrom rack. I will try there. We've got hot weather thru October, so fingers crossed. And don't make me talk hair... I just want some, it's gotten soooo thin and fine! :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-year-new-summer-dresses#post-1844076 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 03:43:20 +0000 Barbara Diane 1844076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or see if you can find some at a fantastic price right now.<br />That gravity thing -well, as it is said, it is better to live long enough to have the problem, but still...<br />And, I want my hair color and condition back too.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-year-new-summer-dresses#post-1844070 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 03:30:23 +0000 Jenn 1844070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Make be by next year, longer ones will be in the shops! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-year-new-summer-dresses#post-1844045 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 01:54:30 +0000 Anonymous 1844045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gravity!&nbsp; It is relentless.&nbsp; It all drops lower, causing all sorts of fit problems. Can you put dresses on your calendar for some date next spring?&nbsp; Add an alarm or two&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-year-new-summer-dresses#post-1844043 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 01:51:17 +0000 rachylou 1844043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Remind me, please. I've decided it's time for new dresses. Mine are all above the knee and making me look rotund.... I'm not gaining weight, but I'm losing shape or something... </p>
