I'm glad the second dress gets some thumbs up since it's a little bit out of the range of things I normally wear.</p> <p>Kari, thank you so much for the lovely compliment! The fitting room had *exceptionally* good lighting, I have to say. There are windows all along the ceiling that let in a lot of natural light. You should totally go for a pixie! I think it would look great on you. You are almost there now with your current cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please/page/2#post-652468 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 02:49:27 +0000 Kari 652468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, I love both of those dresses on you a ton. I think the 2nd dress looks better and more compelling on you than on the catalogue model!</p> <p>I adore your hair these days too. Sooo tempted to go for a pixie someday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please/page/2#post-652405 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 01:41:33 +0000 Aida 652405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad you got it! The photo made me "oooh" right out loud. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please/page/2#post-652388 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 01:29:50 +0000 Ana 652388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Aida! Yes, I got this one. You guys empowered me to embrace the back armpit "fat," lol. So I went for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please/page/2#post-652382 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 01:24:54 +0000 Aida 652382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohhh that rose dress is too cute!! Did you get that one too? It looks fab on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please/page/2#post-652379 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 01:22:23 +0000 Ana 652379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much everyone! I went to Anthropologie today and I got the dress. I'm very excited to wear it this week, since I'm team wear. It's meant to hit 109 (eeeek)! </p> <p>While I was there I tried on this dress also (I'm basically trying on every knit dress under $100 that I can find that doesn't have a surplice neckline). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please/page/2#post-652318 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 00:11:09 +0000 Aida 652318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the dress is gorgeous on you, too! Hope that your size is still there when you go back for it.</p> <p>(I have the same "shape" thing as you: from the front IT/hourglass interchangeable and from the back SUPER DUPER IT. Part of the reason I'm on Team Rear! Though you don't look overly IT from the back to me ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please/page/2#post-652214 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 20:55:54 +0000 san 652214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress looks beautiful on you Ana. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please/page/2#post-652119 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 18:09:44 +0000 cciele 652119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, let us know if you are able to get it. You look gorgeous in that dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please/page/2#post-652116 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 18:08:22 +0000 Ana 652116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone! I hope they still have my size when I go this afternoon. :D</p> <p>Lol, thanks IK! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please/page/2#post-652093 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 17:44:54 +0000 Debbie 652093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana I hope you are able to get this. It looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please#post-652090 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 17:41:17 +0000 ironkurtin 652090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everyone, even supermodels, gets a bit of back pushup in dresses. It's because we're girls. Ignore it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please#post-652077 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 17:30:38 +0000 rae 652077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just joining the chorus of looooove! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please#post-652067 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 17:26:05 +0000 Transcona Shannon 652067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this dress on you Ana - great colour and fit. Hope it went home with you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please#post-652020 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 16:08:04 +0000 Meredith1953 652020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks lovely on you! I agree with everyone else that you have gorgeous shoulders and should be flaunting them! I get concerned over the armpit tissue thing but I think we all scrutinize ourselves a wee bit too much. A wedge heel would look great with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please#post-652015 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 16:02:59 +0000 Charmian 652015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's the "over and under" dress, isn't it? I've been drooling over it _forever_, but I have to say it looks even better on you than I could have possibly imagined for myself. Love the waist detailing, it draws (subtle) attention to your fabulous figure!</p> <p>I vote for the navy; without seeing the green on you, I worry that it might be too "cool" for your coloring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please#post-651909 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 14:21:29 +0000 Jamie 651909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so terrific in this, Ana. Can't wait to see this styled! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please#post-651865 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 13:00:17 +0000 Claudia 651865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yeah, please get this dress. You look great in it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please#post-651862 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 12:55:32 +0000 Ana 651862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, thank you so much everyone! I really appreciate your comments and suggestions.</p> <p>Laura, I didn't buy it, but I'm going this afternoon to pick it up. Our store was out of most sizes in green, but had a lot of navy ones left. Hopefully my size will still be there. </p> <p>Krishnidoux, thank you for the styling suggestions! I don't have any colorful wedges right now, but they're on my "To-Buy" list. I just bought some flat, thong-type sandals that are nude and gold, so I might wear those until I can find the right shoes. I'm not technically petite, but I am short 5'3" which is maybe why the dress is longer on me. I have to get dresses hemmed a lot, so I'm always excited when I find one that doesn't need hemming. :)</p> <p>Thank you again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please#post-651846 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 12:20:53 +0000 ButterflyLady 651846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's beautiful on you - I don't see any of the issues you mention. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please#post-651844 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 12:13:22 +0000 Janet 651844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great on you! I see no back issues.</p> <p>I tried it too and liked it, but didn't love it on me. I kept wanting to adjust some proportion of it. Do you know how that is? When a garment is *this* close to working well but isn't quite it? It was shorter on me that's it is on you, which was part of the issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please#post-651834 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 11:45:21 +0000 Suz 651834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it on you. </p> <p>It's so funny the way our own perceived figure "flaws" can loom in our minds. I do not see the supposed back fat at all! I do get that you have broad shoulders, but that's a plus in my book. I agree with Krish that a bit of a wedge might balance the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please#post-651831 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 10:54:29 +0000 krishnidoux 651831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks really good on you! But a second look makes me wonder about the distance between the straps. The fact that they are a little wide apart, with the rounded curve, is meant to bring out broadness in the shoulders. If you are petite, this dress will always look better with heels for some height to balance the shoulders' broadness.</p> <p>Do you have some comfy relaxed heels or platforms to wear it with?</p> <p>Do you want to put emphasis on your upper body? You do have a fantastic back and beautiful shoulders to boot. You can certainly afford to show them off.<br /> In any case, you do look lovely in this dress and this style does fit you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please#post-651828 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 10:38:41 +0000 Laura 651828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so perfect on you, Ana. Isn't it comfy? I wore it out to dinner and was pleased at how forgiving it was And my girlfriend went and bought one in green yesterday! I did not see the back issues AT ALL, which goes to show that we do not always see ourselves as others see us. The dress looks a tad longer on you than on me, which I really prefer. </p> <p>Did you buy it? My friend said yesterday that our stores are almost sold out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please#post-651824 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 10:24:38 +0000 Deborah 651824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, this dress is devine on you! I see no issues as you mention. Front and back view is prefect. This is a beautiful dress on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please#post-651796 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 06:44:59 +0000 CocoLion 651796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No question, this looks great on you. Don't hesitate. And I don't see the overly broad shoulders you do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please#post-651741 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 03:57:15 +0000 Angie 651741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER - both back and front. </p> <p>You and Laura are dress twins </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please#post-651740 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 03:56:52 +0000 Debora 651740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have lovely shoulders, and I'm not seeing any problem with the back, either. The front is soooo pretty with the waist detail. Thumbs up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please#post-651738 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 03:52:37 +0000 christieanne 651738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-bailey-44-dress-please#post-651730 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 03:35:29 +0000 Alecia 651730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get worried about that area under the arms, too. But I don't see any thing that would keep me from getting that dress. It looks great. </p>
