The ON top I like but again if you're not feeling it back it must go. So many cute sleeveless tops, unfortunately sleeveless is not really appropriate for where I work . It's &nbsp;shame as I seem to have so many and struggle finding things I like with sleeves.&nbsp;<br />I am with Lisap, I feel like the skirt is too voluminous and wears you instead of the other way around . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1929215 Sun, 17 Jun 2018 09:16:26 +0000 Bijou 1929215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really you should do modelling, because even the misses look fab and most people would love to look like you in those items. However, with #10 as the benchmark, you have made the right decisions, although I did love #4 too... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1929204 Sun, 17 Jun 2018 06:07:55 +0000 Elly 1929204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good work self-evaluating your. Purchases Suz. Not always an easy task. I love your original club Monaco dress on you and. Nothing else you posted measured up. Onward! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1929146 Sat, 16 Jun 2018 22:22:46 +0000 cjh 1929146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As everyone says, thanks for sharing your reviews. Just a word of support for trying the Boden white skirt. I have one very similar&nbsp; that I totally love (and now that I remembered, will wear it tomorrow) so I say go for it. Your description is perfect - elegant is the word! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928859 Fri, 15 Jun 2018 16:40:30 +0000 rachylou 1928859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gee, I like the skirt on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928827 Fri, 15 Jun 2018 14:59:18 +0000 Kari 1928827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is great. The items look good on you, but compared to your slam-dunk items that fit REALLY well like #10 (live that dress!) returning makes sense. A good example of where being very discerning pays off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928658 Thu, 14 Jun 2018 17:46:52 +0000 Anonymous 1928658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the print on the old navy top!<br /> I like the swing vibe but the narrow straps are a little less flattering than a wider strap. Still really nice though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928649 Thu, 14 Jun 2018 17:03:16 +0000 Anonymous 1928649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the last dress on you for sure! And the striped shirt —a keeper for another skirt or pant. The white skirt feels like something you might wear at home in a different color so you won’t get it dirty so easily, but probably overall you could find a better style for long term. The first dress might need a different size; still it pales cf to last dress on you. Thank you for sharing these possibilities—I have sent back way more than I have kept this season. A dress season for sure, one that takes a lot of discernment. I have tried on so many dresses that are so not me but look great online! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928602 Thu, 14 Jun 2018 14:42:11 +0000 Christina F. 1928602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this stuff on you, even if you want to return it (though I agree about the first dress size, and meh on the skirt). It's nice to have reached the point where you have enough good stuff that you won't settle for "almost but not quite," isn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928601 Thu, 14 Jun 2018 14:39:39 +0000 Anonymous 1928601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Norra dress is perfection on you. The Quynh dress looks good but not as outstanding. I also enjoyed the out-takes, the ones you plan to return. It's an excellent reminder to be picky and patient for the right one to come along. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928574 Thu, 14 Jun 2018 13:06:28 +0000 RobinF 1928574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting the misses as well as hits. I see what you mean about most of these, although I really like the ON top on you. And of course the dress you own is so gorgeous it is hard for anything to compare. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928455 Thu, 14 Jun 2018 02:46:46 +0000 Jaime 1928455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the origami sleeve top on you -&nbsp; but only if you'd wear it! The last dress should be your benchmark and anything that doesn't measure up say goodbye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928453 Thu, 14 Jun 2018 02:40:49 +0000 Vix 1928453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Suz --</p> <p>Let's face it, you have a closet full of picks that = stunning on you (#10!) so it's hard for the new items to compete!</p> <p>I too like the origami top and the ON print on you and didn't realize they were going back. But if you say so, back it is.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928407 Wed, 13 Jun 2018 23:15:52 +0000 LaPed 1928407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the reviews! I was curious about the Quynh, but this suggests it's probably not for me. As someone with a very similar body type, I say return the tops if you don't love them. Tops are easy enough to fit that you might as well hold out for ones you love and not settle for ones you merely like. I love the idea of the striped top with the white midi skirt -- I definitely think it's worth seeking out a white midi skirt in a more substantial fabrication. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928404 Wed, 13 Jun 2018 22:51:07 +0000 Anonymous 1928404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the first dress is a little short on the one side - just enough to take away from the elegance of it. &nbsp;I actually really like both the ON and the origami top , and think you look great in both . However, we all know ON stuff can be pretty dodgy in person.....<br />The white skirt seems like &nbsp;just too much skirt for you - but I do like your styling with the striped top. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928400 Wed, 13 Jun 2018 22:18:04 +0000 Suz 1928400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Angie</b>! I have some time to shop tomorrow. I'll do returns but also try ons and I'll take some pictures. We'll see. That Parelle top came in a kind of fuchsia, too, which I loved, but it seems to be sold out.&nbsp; </p> <p></p> <p>ETA, I should add I'm in the big city for a conference, and for once I get a day to look around with no other jobs to do -- came a day early. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928396 Wed, 13 Jun 2018 22:09:05 +0000 Angie 1928396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Suz.&nbsp;</b></p> <p>YES. Try the CM dress in a size up if you run into it. Great potential.</p> <p>I LOVE #4. KILLER. Please consider keeping it. It's GORGEOUS with the new white sandals. WILD CARD.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also really like the skirt with the striped top. Super cute.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928390 Wed, 13 Jun 2018 21:36:43 +0000 Suz 1928390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Diana</b>, Gap has another similar skirt, too, that I might try...but it's denim, so would be heavier. Maybe it's a true A-line. Re the dress -- I wouldn't completely rule it out. It's the lining, not the dress itself -- making me wonder if they are all a bit different. If I get a chance, I'll check. Also, proportions could be different in a different size.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would like a skirt that is similar to this for sure. I like the Boden gored linen skirt and probably should have ordered that. My mother used to have one just like it. Very elegant.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for all the input, everyone, and yes, I love when people review items they aren't keeping just as much as the true winners!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928384 Wed, 13 Jun 2018 21:30:38 +0000 Diana 1928384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the review of the dress. &nbsp;I was somewhat tempted for myself but if it's snug in the hips for you I can guarantee I won't even be able to get it over mine. &nbsp;LOL. &nbsp;</p> <p>I LOVE your existing dress, by the way.</p> <p>The skirt looks rather overwhelming on you. &nbsp;Too bad, because it seems &nbsp;like it could be a pretty versatile piece if it fits right. &nbsp;I retired my full white cotton skirt last year, so I'm also in the market for something to fill that niche. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928380 Wed, 13 Jun 2018 21:24:39 +0000 jussie 1928380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz I love that last dress on you... and that purse! Perfect. I also really like the first dress. But you have to be happy with it. It’s good that you are “ppp”. The inexpensive top I rather like too- just not sure if it fits with your overall style....<br /> It’s a pity about the white skirt, it would be a beautiful piece if it worked. I vote keep looking for something similar!<br /> Thanks for sharing the pics </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928365 Wed, 13 Jun 2018 20:54:56 +0000 Katerina 1928365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing in your dress in the last picture - it is difficult for any dress to beat. The other dress is nice on you in the picture, but not as fabulous as your current one, which is a knockout.<br /> I like the white top with origami sleeves on you, it looks nice and modern with the black pants and white sandals.<br /> The ON top looks gorgeous in the picture and the outfit looks great. Can’t see anything in the picture indicating any quality issues. Sure you want to return it? You look fab in it.<br /> The white skirt seems to be a bit of a style departure for you, in comparison with the other outfits not as sharp. It is quite nice, but I understand that you want to return it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928337 Wed, 13 Jun 2018 19:52:18 +0000 Elle 1928337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your reviews.&nbsp; It really helps to see the things that don't work as well as the things that do.&nbsp;</p> <p>I actually love the Old Navy top on you.&nbsp; I agree with the others that your current CM dress is amazing on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928327 Wed, 13 Jun 2018 19:37:49 +0000 Cardiff girl 1928327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really wear clothes well so even ones that you are sending back look good on you,and why have you included a picture of a supermodel in #10? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928322 Wed, 13 Jun 2018 19:33:07 +0000 Staysfit 1928322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite in the group is definitely the Norra Dress. That is the benchmark here, and I agree the others are not up to its level. The first dress is very nice, but if it doesn’t feel great, it shows on your face. I like the Origami sleeves top, but agree with your judgement to return it. To my eye, this looks like a statement piece: Despite this it seems too casual for your style to work as a statement piece. It also doesn’t look like your typical essential pieces.</p> <p>I laughed out loud at the apron comment! I thought the skirt created a sophisticated housekeeper look and that you needed a feather duster as a prop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928321 Wed, 13 Jun 2018 19:32:23 +0000 Roxanna 1928321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for this Suz! Completely agree with others - the dress in #10 is a stunner and its hard for the Qunyh dress to compete. That was also not my favourite pattern - I like the navy floral you posted on my thread, but I didn't like that it was just cotton and not silk like the others.</p> <p>I adore that origami top on you too!</p> <p>And thank you for the sweet compliment </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928309 Wed, 13 Jun 2018 18:14:25 +0000 Suz 1928309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is the same size as my Norra dress and fits up top. It's just slightly pulling at the hip in the lining -- not the dress itself. It said relaxed fit and I thought it would be just like Norra, but it's cut just a little differently and the lining is a different fabric as well. I adore wearing the Norra -- it is such a lovely, feminine dress, stunningly constructed.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928308 Wed, 13 Jun 2018 18:08:14 +0000 Elizabeth P 1928308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Hmm...

I want to thank you for taking time to posts the misses too. It’s so helpful! I hardly ever make it to brick and mortar stores anymore and online ordering can be so tedious. This helps to narrow the field. Great to see these styles on real people! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928304 Wed, 13 Jun 2018 17:53:17 +0000 Mirjana 1928304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt is lovely with stripes top but the dress in 10 is absolutely gorgeous on you, I can't stop watching, fantastic outfit Suz. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returns-cm-quynh-dress-and-others#post-1928302 Wed, 13 Jun 2018 17:43:30 +0000 JAileen 1928302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress in 10 is a home run. It looks sooo fab on you. It’s hard for anything else to compete with it. </p> <p>The skirt looks kind of like an apron to me. Not your usual sleek and sophisticated style. </p>
