That's a really terrific look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dresses-which-one#post-1785527 Thu, 09 Mar 2017 11:12:35 +0000 Lisa Rayes 1785527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will vote for third dress. The third one is best on your beauty. It looks cool and attractive as compare to others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dresses-which-one#post-1784579 Mon, 06 Mar 2017 15:38:06 +0000 Chris987 1784579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great comparison and totally agree that the first one is so much more modern or something. That older red dress is quite lovely too, so glad you gave it a new home where it will make someone else happy.&nbsp; One person's "tired of it" is another person's "oh I love this"...so everyone is happy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dresses-which-one#post-1784577 Mon, 06 Mar 2017 15:32:40 +0000 Penny 1784577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a stunning look! And good for you for sharing the older dress with a neighbor - I'm sure she'll love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dresses-which-one#post-1784553 Mon, 06 Mar 2017 14:21:23 +0000 Lisa 1784553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first dress is lovely and what a neat idea to wear it as both a dress and a jacket/cardigan. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dresses-which-one#post-1784137 Sat, 04 Mar 2017 20:40:11 +0000 unfrumped 1784137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what an interesting " outfit lab"! The first IS more " arty" and crisp. Also notably shorter even with pencil skirt; the taper there tolerates shorter length and blends into legline, I think. And it's more de- bombshelled compared to the tailored fit of # 2. </p> <p>I would have trouble ic not seeing side by side. If I found a fit&amp; flare with length and sleeves, I'd probably go Yay! Would it be modern if I find it " new"? I do try to watch carefully for collar size, which can look dated in me if too big or long - pointy. It's also a caution if shopping second- hand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dresses-which-one#post-1784012 Sat, 04 Mar 2017 06:44:18 +0000 No Fear of Fashion 1784012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much ladies for all your opinions. Result is that I gave the more classic dress to my neighbour three doors down. She loves it, my dilemma is solved, closet has a bit more space and I made somebody happy. YAY<br /> Trying to update the dress is too much of a hassle. I am wrestling with a black skirt suit at the moment. Long wide skirt. Very hard to style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dresses-which-one#post-1782323 Mon, 27 Feb 2017 18:51:44 +0000 RobinF 1782323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the first one is a great look, the second one not as much. I do wonder though, if different accessories would make a difference. Belt? Shoes? Or maybe the length? But it might not be worth it to you and then it's just time to pass it on. You do look very nice in red. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dresses-which-one#post-1782267 Mon, 27 Feb 2017 15:41:16 +0000 Suz 1782267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First dress is gorgeous on you and you have styled it so well!&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree about the second one. It is conventionally flattering and "nice" but not as current.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dresses-which-one#post-1782237 Mon, 27 Feb 2017 14:26:43 +0000 Beth Ann 1782237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 is lovely, and perfectly classic, but 1-3 are stunning! &nbsp;Updating the classics can make such a difference! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dresses-which-one#post-1782042 Sun, 26 Feb 2017 19:16:03 +0000 lyn67 1782042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Greetje showing us the trick with the pencil under the shirt dress -I often have the same problem, with &nbsp;lengths-especially those of shirt dresses's.

Love the pencil skirt idea to give some length </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dresses-which-one#post-1781625 Sat, 25 Feb 2017 00:54:28 +0000 Staysfit 1781625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I love how you styled the first dress! It's a modern classic look and so stunning on you, especially with the pencil skirt. I also like the older fit and flare dress. I wonder if it would look more modern with a different belt, maybe something lower contrast? I'm not sure I love the attention it draws so strongly from the pretty lines of the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dresses-which-one#post-1781619 Sat, 25 Feb 2017 00:31:28 +0000 Bijou 1781619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the first dress! You look amazing in red, and all colour to be honest. I love how you have solved the issue of a gorgeous dress that is a fraction too short, the layering adds a whole new dimension that is lacking in the second more classic dress (that also looks good too). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dresses-which-one#post-1781615 Sat, 25 Feb 2017 00:20:52 +0000 Jenava 1781615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the first dress! &nbsp;Agree with your assessment of the second. &nbsp;It is very classic, but frankly not my taste these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dresses-which-one#post-1781598 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 23:31:04 +0000 Angie 1781598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the first dress, which you've styled beautifully, Greetje.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dresses-which-one#post-1781586 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 22:54:05 +0000 Anonymous 1781586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first dress is really special. I love how you styled it both as a dress and a jacket. I like the second dress too, and I think it has potential to be worn more casually--with the sleeves rolled up and with sneakers, maybe? But if you only keep one, there's no contest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dresses-which-one#post-1781576 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 22:13:18 +0000 shedev 1781576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that the first dress can function as both a dress and duster jacket. The second dress is a little retro to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dresses-which-one#post-1781563 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 21:50:50 +0000 Jenni NZ 1781563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Eliza. I agree that the first dress in all its iterations looks more wow. Can't see anything specifically wrong with the second dress though, if I saw you in in person I'm sure I'd say what a great dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dresses-which-one#post-1781561 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 21:45:10 +0000 Eliza 1781561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NFOF- your rock that first red dress. Feels current and your pencil skirt and jacket tricks are genius. Agree that while the second dress is nice, it is not as much of a wow. And you deserve a wow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-dresses-which-one#post-1781555 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 21:24:09 +0000 No Fear of Fashion 1781555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the first two photos you see me wearing a modern red dress. It has a small belt, which for the bigger part, goes round my waist UNDER my dress. I think it is a bit arty. It is also a bit short, so when I wear it as a dress, I put a little (well tapered) pencil skirt underneath it.<br /> In the third photo I am wearing the same dress, this time as a jacket with skinny jeans and silver pumps. I really like that too.<br /> Now ... the fourth dress is four years old. And even though it creates a great hourglass shape, I do not wear it anymore because I feel a little outdated in it. Strange how my taste changed in just four years.<br /> Greetje </p>
