It doesn’t look near as dressy as the other one. I always wear a slip under a dress, even a casual one. Old school. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dress-raindrops#post-1925608 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 23:10:09 +0000 Anonymous 1925608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If the styles , fabric and color suit you, I see no problem having similar items. They can be styled differently and make you feel differently. I’m on team- go for what you like </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dress-raindrops#post-1925490 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 17:45:35 +0000 unfrumped 1925490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3style, no problemo. </p> <p>Suz, you got it. The layered bodice is like a boxy top without wardrobe malfunction and adds some width for balance. </p> <p>The one drawback is the jersey fabric skirt which requires, erm, “ smooth “ underlayer. Not shapewear per se , but if not pantyhose, then a smoother- short or a slip. I will wear hose for indoor wear in air conditioning, but if I wanted to do bare legs- sneakers etc, will need to try some options. </p> <p>It’s always something! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dress-raindrops#post-1925402 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 14:02:48 +0000 Angie 1925402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOOH. Yummy dress. May we see it on?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dress-raindrops#post-1925383 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 13:46:39 +0000 Suz 1925383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks like a terrific day dress. I love the colour! Also, from the photo it looks as if it could be a near-perfect style for you. A bit of ease around the hip, a neat, tailored fit at the shoulder, and the layering provides the illusion of a higher waist, without creating any of the fit issues that a set in waist in that position might do. In short, it looks like a total winner. Also a great price!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dress-raindrops#post-1925338 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 12:33:37 +0000 3style 1925338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my defense, I just reread both dress posts and you didn’t reiterate that point. I have a good memory, but I didn’t connect it to your comment on the sleeveless Y or N post. I’m not a mind reader yet </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dress-raindrops#post-1925317 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 11:34:42 +0000 unfrumped 1925317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3style, thanks, that’s the point- I DON’T wear sleeveless dresses so sleeved dresses are a HEWI for me. But I was thinking this dress has a similar casual vibe to a summer vacay dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dress-raindrops#post-1925313 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 11:25:49 +0000 3style 1925313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Devil’s advocate reporting for duty Do you wear sleeveless dresses? The jjill seamed sleeveless knit dress in Sangria might more useful, if so. </p> <p><a href="https://www.jjill.com/product/seamed-sleeveless-knit-dress" rel="nofollow">https://www.jjill.com/product/.....knit-dress</a></p> <p>I had a similar dress to that one for many years. It was outstanding for travel because it could be quite dressed up, yet fit well over a swimming suit as a quick cover up or even doubled as a nightie in a pinch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dress-raindrops#post-1925309 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 11:10:00 +0000 Liesbeth 1925309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your reasoning is correct: better two dresses in a bold color that you love and suits you, than trying every which way to work a different color or print. I also don’t think you’d split wears as they are sufficiently different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dress-raindrops#post-1925302 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 10:37:52 +0000 pil 1925302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are both really nice, Unfrumped, you have found some good stuff! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dress-raindrops#post-1925280 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 08:44:25 +0000 Brooklyn 1925280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are both lovely but quite different. I also find dresses really hard to find. I wouldn’t hesitate just because they are a similar colour. Next year retail could dominated by a colour that you don’t care for - stock up on your happy colour while you can. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dress-raindrops#post-1925274 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 07:07:06 +0000 Cardiff girl 1925274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are different and if you find finding dresses to suit hard and you like this one it’s a good idea to give it a go.Both shades of red are very pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dress-raindrops#post-1925273 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 06:44:02 +0000 rachylou 1925273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed they’re very different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dress-raindrops#post-1925271 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 06:39:24 +0000 jussie 1925271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They’re gorgeous ! I like both equally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dress-raindrops#post-1925248 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 03:20:34 +0000 Barbara Diane 1925248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree they are different in shade and style and dressiness. Enjoy both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dress-raindrops#post-1925246 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 03:02:58 +0000 unfrumped 1925246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can’t say I’m experiencing the dress thunderstorm — dresses continue to be hard and elusive for me— but I came across this JJill dress and brought it home to try styling. This would be in addition to the EF silk dress I already have.<br /> In the store I wondered if it would be wrong to have 2 dresses in such similar colors , but the reds, which in fact are not the same shade, but are both in the cool end of red zone, are very Happy colors for me. Also thought the somewhat scoop neck would be a deal- breaker for fit, but it’s not too low to wear and doesn’t gape and so I can fill in with a casual necklace which then allows it to work for me. It hits me mid- knee, not above knee, which is good. The style and vibes are very different, so there is less potential for splitting wears and more potential for dress- wearing. This is very casual, a jersey knit, with pockets (!) , a weekend fun day dress, packable- not outstanding quality but approachable.<br /> I want to try it with some different types of footwear but I think it’s a keeper.<br /> I decided I’d rather be seen in similar, flattering color than wear prints or colors that aren’t that good on me. I think it’s worth seeing if that’s how things work out. </p>
