Hope you got it! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-dress-shopping---what-do-you-think/page/2#post-934975 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:56:01 +0000 Elly 934975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I strongly preffer this over the last on you. I think it is very flattering and gorgeous colors. <br /><br />IDK if you will be washing or dry-cleaning this--- however, having it professionally pressed several times when it is new might be enough to "lock in" the pleats and limit future ironing. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-dress-shopping---what-do-you-think/page/2#post-934959 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:41:46 +0000 Sona 934959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Simply love this on you.

Definitely well worth it!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-dress-shopping---what-do-you-think/page/2#post-934266 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:59:55 +0000 cinnamon fern 934266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your hair is looking awesome, Astrid! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-dress-shopping---what-do-you-think/page/2#post-934214 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:05:47 +0000 Astrid 934214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks missvee. You're right, it would b worth the effort to touch it up now and then.<br /><br />Thanks Kristin!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-dress-shopping---what-do-you-think#post-934201 Thu, 16 May 2013 18:58:28 +0000 Kristin L 934201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it looks great on you! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-dress-shopping---what-do-you-think#post-934183 Thu, 16 May 2013 18:51:47 +0000 missvee 934183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to chime back in and say I wouldn't hesitate because of ironing the pleats. You're not going to be wearing it every day, and if it needs a light touch up with the iron in between wearings, that won't take you long. I hope Lyn* sees this post. She has similar dresses and I don't think she's ever mentioned that they're hard to care for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-dress-shopping---what-do-you-think#post-934181 Thu, 16 May 2013 18:51:00 +0000 Astrid 934181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks everyone! I've posted better pictures in the other thread <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-the-wedding---better-pics" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....etter-pics</a>. <br /><br />Shannon, there is some seam allowance, but not a lot. <br /><br />Donna, thanks for the tips! You're right, I might want to keep those pleats soft anyway. Too bad I can't try how that looks like.<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-dress-shopping---what-do-you-think#post-934163 Thu, 16 May 2013 18:38:59 +0000 DonnaF 934163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Astrid;<br /><br />Gorgeous dress on you!&nbsp; My solution to ironing which works particularly well for natural fibers is to mist, mist, mist with a spray bottle full of water, then stretch slightly with the fingers.&nbsp; Works after a short spin in the dryer, works after wearing if something is still clean enough to wear again.&nbsp; I rarely use an iron.&nbsp; You may want to keep those pleats soft (vs. crisp) anyway.<br /><br />However, if feel you must iron, then I agree with bj1111.&nbsp; If it will cause you to wear the dress less often, you should probably look for a similar dress in a blend which will be hotter but more carefree.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-dress-shopping---what-do-you-think#post-934162 Thu, 16 May 2013 18:37:53 +0000 Parsley 934162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it, Astrid!

I don't find it too short. If you are uncomfortable with the length, is there any hem allowance to let down? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-dress-shopping---what-do-you-think#post-934156 Thu, 16 May 2013 18:33:54 +0000 texstyle 934156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This looks really cute Astrid - I think it works for an early summer wedding and it looks like something you can wear often. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-dress-shopping---what-do-you-think#post-934142 Thu, 16 May 2013 18:28:16 +0000 missvee 934142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks so pretty on you - what a great choice!

Will your new yellow purse go with it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-dress-shopping---what-do-you-think#post-934120 Thu, 16 May 2013 18:16:22 +0000 donnat 934120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love this dress, very nice on you. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-dress-shopping---what-do-you-think#post-934119 Thu, 16 May 2013 18:15:34 +0000 Helena 934119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Very pretty and perfect for spring! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-dress-shopping---what-do-you-think#post-934099 Thu, 16 May 2013 18:06:12 +0000 Thistle 934099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Did it pass the sit down test?&nbsp;&nbsp; I have a tough time with that with some shorter skirts. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-dress-shopping---what-do-you-think#post-934095 Thu, 16 May 2013 18:04:54 +0000 bj1111 934095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lucky you. Super pattern super color. I love how it goes with your smile!</p> <p>If you get this, what shoes will you wear. Also will caring for pleats make you wear it less after the wedding...i know you wanted something that you would be comfortable wearing more frequently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-dress-shopping---what-do-you-think#post-934051 Thu, 16 May 2013 17:42:47 +0000 amiable 934051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Looks perfect on you! &nbsp;I hope you get it! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-dress-shopping---what-do-you-think#post-934043 Thu, 16 May 2013 17:39:02 +0000 rachylou 934043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Did you get it?
