Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/options-for-banquet-dress-part-2-side-view#post-708678 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 20:01:16 +0000 jayne 708678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>VC,, hmmm, well OK, you twisted my arm! I have a blue dress in mind I saw another lady try on 2 weeks ago and I had no reason to consider it then....but NOW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/options-for-banquet-dress-part-2-side-view#post-708662 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 19:53:41 +0000 velvetychocolate 708662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 the best from front and side view. Keep that one in reserve, and go shopping anyway...if you find something else, it's just the icing on the cake, but if not - you still have this fab dress at home at the ready. You don't need to go shopping at all, just that it might be fun to look around a bit and see what's out there for a cocktail party. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/options-for-banquet-dress-part-2-side-view#post-708649 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 19:46:26 +0000 jayne 708649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks so much...this excercise really helped me cement the style and level of fanciness for cocktail! And my daughters favored the first one. and the BF remembers it from nearly 3 years back when I bought it (a good sign I think)...so the choice now is styling it! Next decision is shoes...there will be dancing and I have no comfy all night dancing and walking shoes...argh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/options-for-banquet-dress-part-2-side-view#post-708614 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 19:07:33 +0000 shiny 708614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your arms are lovely. I vote 1. I don't think you need to hide your arms, but adding a cheeky jacket may take this up a style notch. It's Paris: you can get really cheeky. </p> <p>I also like dress 2; it's not quite as figure flattering but you could work with the volume as a deliberate look. I would also pair with a cheeky topper.... again, not to hide away your arms, but to add flair and style and interest.</p> <p>Dress 3 is my least favorite. It is not dressy enough, to my eye, for a cocktail event. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/options-for-banquet-dress-part-2-side-view#post-708601 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 18:59:21 +0000 cinnamon fern 708601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From the side, I say 1 or 3. I'm not sure of the arm issues but 2 looks too big from the side - I thought it looked a bit too big from the front too actually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/options-for-banquet-dress-part-2-side-view#post-708555 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 18:35:40 +0000 kellygirl 708555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still prefer #1 for cocktail dressy. #2 is really cute from the side too--it looks kind of retro.</p> <p>ETA: I've never been to a cocktail party in Paris so take my opinion with a grain of salt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/options-for-banquet-dress-part-2-side-view#post-708551 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 18:31:55 +0000 harmonica 708551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like 2&amp;3 best from the side. i don't see any arm issues </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/options-for-banquet-dress-part-2-side-view#post-708521 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 18:13:59 +0000 jayne 708521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh yes...there are arm issues... </p>
