My regular size. I have a VERY short waist, and it is too short for this dress with its defined waist. Everything else fits quite well, but the waist hits me at least 3 inches below my waist. For a normal person, it's probably perfect. Loved the pattern and the feel of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-fence-thoughts-about-these-things#post-1519937 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 00:04:08 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1519937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look nice to me. I can see you in the colors, for sure. I don't think I've seen you in any fitted waist tops, though, so they might be different for you in that way. I think they are worth a try, because if they don't work, there's no hurry on returns; you can take them to the store when you can get there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-fence-thoughts-about-these-things#post-1519910 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 23:14:23 +0000 Joyce B 1519910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the Ellen Tracy in the Spring/Summer print with cap sleeves but the rest of the dress is like the one you are showing. It fits well and is extremely comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-fence-thoughts-about-these-things#post-1519905 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 23:08:43 +0000 carter 1519905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Ellen Tracy one just arrived on my doorstep. I will try it on in a bit. Not sure I can get a decent picture without daylight, but I'll try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-fence-thoughts-about-these-things#post-1519903 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 23:02:23 +0000 Angie 1519903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like you'll be in good shape for all of these, Peri. This one could be nice too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Did you try the COS peplum top a size down?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-fence-thoughts-about-these-things#post-1519857 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 21:35:24 +0000 viva 1519857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm tempted to get #3 myself to have on hand for funerals. Which is so morbid but actually very practical. I don't know if it's quite enough for weddings, though. I like 1 or 2 better for that, 1 in particular. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-fence-thoughts-about-these-things#post-1519778 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 18:45:34 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1519778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, nice picks. For fall weddings 2 might be better than 1, unless you want to wear with a topper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-fence-thoughts-about-these-things#post-1519762 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 18:12:05 +0000 Thistle 1519762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these three would work for the events you describe, the first two for the weddings, the last for funerals. Honestly, though, it is hard to say until you try them on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-fence-thoughts-about-these-things#post-1519738 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 17:30:15 +0000 Peri 1519738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel a bit strange about ordering dresses since I know so little about what suits me. I can usually have a good guess about tops but for dresses it mostly feels like a wild guess! I know it would be better to shop B&amp;M, but my Nords is sub-par and I don't think I have time to make the trek until next week anyway. And the dress I was most interested in is sold out already!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm looking for everyone's HEWI...the keep on hand for formal/funeral occasions dress. Plus one fun one for two weddings in Sept and Oct. And I have been considering adding a black pencil skirt (the Halogen seamed pencil skirt, can't get the Find to work for some reason). So...thoughts on these, in general like if you've seen them, or specific for me if you have any idea?</p>
