But that might compete too much with the headress, which really deserves center stage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-this-cocktail-dress#post-1082519 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 15:58:53 +0000 Glory 1082519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you would look amazing in this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-this-cocktail-dress#post-1082517 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 15:57:50 +0000 annagybe 1082517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just had an idea! What if I wore my blue &amp; black feather headdress with leather leggings &amp; a tuxedo jacket? And maybe my new shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-this-cocktail-dress#post-1082504 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 15:46:55 +0000 AviaMariah 1082504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You definitely have the legs to pull this off, plus it will probably be longer on you than on the model. &nbsp;I like the idea of pairing it with black tights. &nbsp;Maybe even a tough black leather jacket for warmth. &nbsp;That might take too much focus off the dress but I think it could look really fun! &nbsp;Can't wait to see how you style it if you get it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-this-cocktail-dress#post-1082493 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 15:35:43 +0000 Thistle 1082493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress. It has a lot of style, but two things concern me. First is the length. You have awesome legs to pull it off with, but Seattle is not warm in December. Also, I think it would need a warm pashima or something else to keep warm. I agree with the others, why sleeveless in December?!?&nbsp; I mean, not all of us live in SoCal or Florida!</p> <p>As a seperate aside, do you need sparkly wear? Basically, would you wear this again, perhaps for New Year's or other Christmas festivities? it does not fit into your Opera capsule, and I wonder where else it would work for you. </p> <p>Perhaps you could add a sparkly scarf of tank to one of your already fab ensembles to get the holiday sparkle but still have wearablity again.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-this-cocktail-dress#post-1082489 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 15:23:56 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1082489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! &nbsp;&nbsp; I'd wear it with shimmery pale tights, and channel a little sexy 60's, and some gorgeous fake eyelashes.</p> <p>If it's really short when you sit, cross your ankles, and keep your knees together </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-this-cocktail-dress#post-1082470 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:56:16 +0000 Parsley 1082470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty!<br /> But you don't think you'll freeze to death in that dress in December? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-this-cocktail-dress#post-1082445 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:29:36 +0000 Hil 1082445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a beautful dress for sure! If the length works, then a thumbs up from me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-this-cocktail-dress#post-1082434 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:18:41 +0000 Anonymous 1082434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are there other occasions coming up where you could wear this dress? You are braver than I, thinking of wearing that light color around wine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-this-cocktail-dress#post-1082421 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:06:11 +0000 donnat 1082421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress alot and I think you (we) need to see it on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-this-cocktail-dress#post-1082401 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:36:41 +0000 annagybe 1082401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My opera dresses don't have any sparkle or embellishment. They're not party dresses, much more sedate,<br /> I have a sleeved sequin shirt from Vince, and a sequin mini skirt from All Saints. I guess I could try to remix those.<br /> The cream really appeals to me though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-this-cocktail-dress#post-1082391 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:30:32 +0000 Windchime 1082391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with other posters--it would look smashing on you, and carefully consider length.</p> <p>Champagne tasting sounds fun. You do lots of cool social activities! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-this-cocktail-dress#post-1082390 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:29:11 +0000 Anonymous 1082390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's nice, but I agree, don't you have all sorts of lovely dresses in your opera capsule? Or do you only like to wear those once or twice before replacing them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-this-cocktail-dress#post-1082389 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:28:27 +0000 Janet 1082389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's cute. The thing that gives me pause is sleeveless in December -- I don't understand why holiday wear defaults to sleeveless. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-this-cocktail-dress#post-1082384 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:24:51 +0000 gryffin 1082384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna - I can absolutely see this on you playing it against type with black tights, black "I am going to stomp on your face" high heeled boots, black moto, black clutch and a red lip. Don't know if that was your conception but I think it would be smashing!! or switching it all up with gold and all soft. I think you would carry this off with panache! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-this-cocktail-dress#post-1082381 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:23:05 +0000 Gail 1082381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress and the detailing. My concerns also would be the length &nbsp;and the warmth factor. However if the length works and you are going somewhere that is toasty then I think go for it, very cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-this-cocktail-dress#post-1082373 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:14:54 +0000 Aquamarine 1082373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's beautiful...festive yet understated and you look so good in that cream color. Not sure how the length will work for you though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-this-cocktail-dress#post-1082368 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:11:09 +0000 ironkurtin 1082368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the details, bu surely you already own something that will work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-this-cocktail-dress#post-1082365 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:09:12 +0000 El Cee 1082365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is so lovely in its simplicity. It would probably be a nice addition to your dressy/opera capsule. However, the length looks like it could be a concern. Agree with cciele -- you should do "sit down" and "bending" tests in front of a mirror before you purchase. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-this-cocktail-dress#post-1082169 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 05:07:19 +0000 cciele 1082169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the simple cut and fun ornamentation. Sparkly mod? I'd be concerned about the length though -- sit down test for sure. But you have the legs to pull it off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-this-cocktail-dress#post-1082164 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 05:02:54 +0000 Neel 1082164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress and it is festive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-this-cocktail-dress#post-1082160 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 04:58:49 +0000 Word Lily 1082160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would probably have to wear that as a shirt, if it was long-torsoed&nbsp;me, but I love the detailing. Festive, for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-this-cocktail-dress#post-1082157 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 04:56:11 +0000 annagybe 1082157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My salesperson recommended this dress for me for festive dress champagne tasting I'm doing in December.<br />She said it was very Dries Van Noten.<br />I really like it. What do you think? I'd have to order it though as they don't have in store.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/cynthia-steffe-anais-embellished-shift-dress/3617293?origin=stylenumsearch">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/cy.....ylenumsear</a> </p>
