I loved the dress but when ruffles were mentioned as being problematic it makes sense to wait. Bravo for your discipline...you will be rewarded for your strength...kind of sounds like a fortune from a cookie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-talk-me-out-of-this-dress-1#post-978782 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 23:25:02 +0000 Kristin L 978782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohh, I hadn't thought about wearing a topper with the dress. Good call columbine!&nbsp;</p> <p>@Isabel - True! I don't want to too look too young. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-talk-me-out-of-this-dress-1#post-978775 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 23:18:51 +0000 Anonymous 978775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's really cute, but hold out for just the right one. It will be right for your budget too. Hang in there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-talk-me-out-of-this-dress-1#post-978767 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 23:08:43 +0000 columbine(erin) 978767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress a lot, but wonder how the ruffly neckline would work with toppers. I have a really pretty Modcloth dress I don't wear much because details at the shoulder don't lay nicely under anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-talk-me-out-of-this-dress-1#post-978765 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 23:06:29 +0000 TraceyLiz65 978765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know the appeal of a polk a dot dress, still trying ot replace one myself, but I want somethng that I love and am not going to settle.. If ruffles aren't a 10 for you move on, the right one will come along... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-talk-me-out-of-this-dress-1#post-978725 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 22:18:49 +0000 ElleH 978725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes if you're not loving the ruffles I will add that I'm not a fan of them for me. I wasn't sure what your style was though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-talk-me-out-of-this-dress-1#post-978719 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 22:15:01 +0000 Isabel 978719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love what La Belle said. We do tend to think of things as "once in a lifetime" opportunity and there is always something coming down the pipe.&nbsp;</p> <p>Besides, you will look too good for this dress once you get your Botox ! &nbsp;LOL ! ( that was a very funny post )&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-talk-me-out-of-this-dress-1#post-978711 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 22:07:12 +0000 cinnamon fern 978711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, since you mentioned the ruffles - I definitely think a version of this without ruffles would be better - especially if you are thinking of this as a work dress. &nbsp;Combining polka dots and ruffles is combining two girly (feminine + young) elements, which is tricky to pull off, especially in a professional context. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-talk-me-out-of-this-dress-1#post-978689 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 21:50:51 +0000 Kristin L 978689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It does Elle. I've been looking for a nice polka dot dress for a while, but I need to remind myself that there will be more. And probably without ruffles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-talk-me-out-of-this-dress-1#post-978633 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 20:57:18 +0000 ElleH 978633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is not so unique that you wouldn't find one again, maybe even cheaper. Did that help? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-talk-me-out-of-this-dress-1#post-978626 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 20:52:19 +0000 Kristin L 978626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Glory, LBD and Thistle! Those are great questions and it doesn't pass them all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-talk-me-out-of-this-dress-1#post-978615 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 20:47:18 +0000 Thistle 978615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, so helping talk you out of it:</p> <p>#1 - no sleeves.&nbsp; This is usually a deal killer for me. Especially as I find it so hard to find the right jacket to match with a dress (need perfect length, color, neckline etc.)<br />#2 - Cost of the dress is only the begining. This is a high maintenance piece with the corresponding dry cleaning bill.<br />#3 - This dress begs for heels, and fussy feet do NOT do heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-talk-me-out-of-this-dress-1#post-978611 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 20:46:06 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 978611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two things to consider:&nbsp; if it disappears again, will you feel relieved?&nbsp; Or will you kick yourself that you missed the dress again?&nbsp; &nbsp; And... this isn't the last beautiful dress you will ever see.&nbsp; &nbsp; There will always be another glorious, fantastic dress waiting for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-talk-me-out-of-this-dress-1#post-978592 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 20:26:27 +0000 Glory 978592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no. Are you looking for a dress at the moment to add to your closet? Would you wear it to work and do you have other places to wear it?<br />On the pro side this one could work for work but also for events which to me is always a plus. I mean like a wedding with red shoes etc.<br />But if you are covered in that area I think given you say it isn't currently in the budget it is best to admire from afar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-talk-me-out-of-this-dress-1#post-978583 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 20:18:19 +0000 Kristin L 978583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found a gorgeous Kate Spade dress on a resale site I like to browse and I really need some help talking myself out of it. I saw it a while back, then it disappeared and then reappeared.&nbsp;From the measurements given, it looks like it would fit me great, it looks like a great professional dress and it has polka dots. Unfortunately, It's really hard for me justify $90 for a dress right now. Of course, if one of y'all want to buy it and save me from myself, I'm ok with that. :)</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.liketwice.com/item/dresses/kate-spade/3546585789">https://www.liketwice.com/item.....3546585789</a> </p>
