(ref to a post from last week). Of course, usually &nbsp;dresses over pants &nbsp;don't have to be per se (avant garde) but TO MY EYES this one has quite a hint!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-to-a-favourite-formula#post-1813424 Wed, 07 Jun 2017 10:04:26 +0000 Style Fan 1813424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a fabulous outfit especially with those shoes.&nbsp; I love the fabric.&nbsp; I do like the structured look on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-to-a-favourite-formula#post-1813367 Wed, 07 Jun 2017 04:11:16 +0000 Lucy 1813367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the best!

I love the idea of that technique you described for giving the dress that bit of fit and structure. I just wish more dresses were made that way, because I look awful in straight sack dresses! I would copy this in a heartbeat if there were only a dress like this in my radar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-to-a-favourite-formula#post-1813303 Tue, 06 Jun 2017 20:34:46 +0000 Aquamarine 1813303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wow.

Getting much more wear than I expected.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie</b>: A K2K!!! Oh thank you - I am humbled :)&nbsp;&nbsp;I find myself craving a more structured look these days, so I'll keep that in mind. </p> <p>Speaking of structure, the dress is darted at the sides and stayed on the inside with a belt to give it some shape, which is a trick I cribbed from Vivienne Westwood.</p> <p><b>JAileen</b>: this is actually a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_waxprints">Dutch wax print</a>:&nbsp;made in Holland,&nbsp;fashionable in Africa, with a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://beyondvictoriana.com/2011/04/10/african-fabrics-the-history-of-dutch-wax-prints-guest-blog-by-eccentric-yoruba/">fascinating and controversial history</a>.&nbsp;It's made using an industrialised batik process so it produces more varied designs and richer colours than the traditional techniques.&nbsp;I've made a few pieces in various prints, although I tend more towards the more European-looking graphics. It's lovely fabric to work with and it keeps its shape very well in humid weather.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-to-a-favourite-formula#post-1813271 Tue, 06 Jun 2017 17:29:39 +0000 rachylou 1813271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seriously killer.
