As for dress #1, I will wear it with all of the coats and jackets below - the blue coat is really pretty with it. The snake-skin I think will be really good with the leather jacket and the camel coat - but the others may work too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses/page/2#post-2015064 Mon, 25 Mar 2019 01:44:12 +0000 Anonymous 2015064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all these on you and keep changing my favorite each time I look. I do think you should wear those tangerine shoes with all three dresses and use a tangerine or similar colored bag to brighten 2 and 3 for those grey days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses/page/2#post-2014944 Sun, 24 Mar 2019 19:50:27 +0000 anchie 2014944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dresses and I agree they will be even more fab if you shorten #1 and #2. Are you going to wear toppers over them? I would know how to layer only #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses/page/2#post-2014906 Sun, 24 Mar 2019 16:41:34 +0000 Angie 2014906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Let us know what the tailor says, Queen Dress.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses/page/2#post-2014875 Sun, 24 Mar 2019 13:22:00 +0000 Bijou 2014875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jussi</b> - I am very loyal to buying Levante hosiery, because it is soft and comfortable to wear. I don't even notice that I am wearing it.</p> <p><b>Jane</b> - interesting to hear that the longer lengths are more common in London. We are usually about 6 months behind the Northern Hemisphere fashion cycle.</p> <p><b>Dana</b> - thank you, I am glad that you think I can wear these styles as I will have to get the alterations done ASAP so I can start wearing these dresses.</p> <p><b>JAileen</b> - you make me laugh that the lace dress is va-va voom because I have a smallish bust. It is obviously the cut of the dress that is giving it this look. For me, it is kind of fun to wear something like this because "sexy" is not really a word that I would use to describe my style.</p> <p><b>Gretchen</b> - I usually find my Cue dresses get lots of wear because they are so practical for work. The snake skin print is a nice play on a neutral palette.</p> <p><b>Windchime </b>- the heels are a very vibrant tangerine colour and have been surprisingly versatile as I often wear them with neutrals just to add a touch of colour.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses/page/2#post-2014768 Sun, 24 Mar 2019 00:05:31 +0000 Windchime 2014768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The flamingo color is delicious, and gorgeous on you! A few inches off the hem, and you will be wearing it; not vice versa. </p> <p>I also love the contrasting coral (?) shoes with the snakeprint dress. Nice to have footwear options. </p> <p>You’ve got three wonderful dresses, and it’s a bonus if you can wear most of them year round. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses/page/2#post-2014747 Sat, 23 Mar 2019 23:00:16 +0000 Gretchen 2014747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to all 3, and to the mods suggested. I bet the snakeskin ends up w most wear - it’s versatile and looks very comfortable. Great finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses/page/2#post-2014740 Sat, 23 Mar 2019 22:23:06 +0000 JAileen 2014740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first one looks a little baggy on you. Does the waist cinch in? If not, then it needs a belt as others have suggested. I know you have a tiny waist in there somewhere.</p> <p>The snakeskin is very flattering. </p> <p>The third one is very va-va-va-voom. It looks fab.</p> <p>As for length, I’m no good at it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses/page/2#post-2014712 Sat, 23 Mar 2019 20:44:17 +0000 Dana 2014712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie and Janet! Angie's solutions will allow your fab figure to shine thru while you still have the floatier vibe you are looking for. As always...love your style!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses#post-2014551 Sat, 23 Mar 2019 08:59:46 +0000 Jane 2014551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such lovely dresses. I love the flamingo pink the most, and looking forward to seeing it with a belt. Longer flowing styles are very much in at the moment where I work.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses#post-2014545 Sat, 23 Mar 2019 07:26:19 +0000 jussie 2014545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They’re each beautiful. And it’s fun how different they are from each other. I can’t possibly choose a fave. Love them all. Do you ever get uncomfortable wearing tights all the time in winter? I find that I feel constricted in them even when I get the larger sizes..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses#post-2014535 Sat, 23 Mar 2019 02:43:14 +0000 Bijou 2014535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie </b>- I do think taking these dresses to a tailor and getting them adjusted so that the proportions work better on me is a great suggestion. Thank you for helping with that. Very happy to be crowned Queen Dress!</p> <p><b>Karen13</b> - I love colour too - especially in winter when I feel that with the cold and grey sky, brights are needed.</p> <p><b>Taylor </b>- dresses are definitely my go-to, although as I have quite a few in my wardrobe, I am trying to be picky about what I add - it needs to be sufficiently different from what I currently own which is why I am trying these longer flowing styles.</p> <p><b>Nemosmum</b> - so glad you like them all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses#post-2014395 Fri, 22 Mar 2019 16:39:01 +0000 nemosmom 2014395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what beautiful, flowy, romantic looks! You look so pretty in all of them - I can't pick a favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses#post-2014385 Fri, 22 Mar 2019 16:01:46 +0000 taylor 2014385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So nice to see someone who LOVES beautiful dresses and wears them with such ease ! So ladylike and pretty ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses#post-2014372 Fri, 22 Mar 2019 15:25:46 +0000 karen13 2014372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All look lovely on you. My order of preference is 3,1,2. I just love you in color. I look forward to seeing a slightly (or a lot, per Angie) shorter 2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses#post-2014362 Fri, 22 Mar 2019 14:38:23 +0000 Angie 2014362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Bijou,</b> the elastic waist is a good idea. Speak to a tailor about that. You are QUEEN DRESS. I love that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses#post-2014356 Fri, 22 Mar 2019 14:20:28 +0000 Bijou 2014356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b>Thank you for the advice, it is much appreciated and nice to learn how to get the midi dresses to work for me.<b></p> <p>Adriana</b> - so glad you like the snake print dress, it was getting a bit lost in the cross fire between the red and lace dresses!</p> <p><b>Delurked</b> - you make a good point that the lace dress is closer in style to what I normally wear.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Mirjana</b> - so glad that you like the red dress, this one seems to be polarising, so love it and others not so much!</p> <p><b>Janet,</b> it is a great suggestion to add a belt, I will have to try that. Given the tie waist, I hope it works.</p> <p><b>Katerina</b> - I am very glad that we have Cue. Most of my clothing comes from Cue, which is why I have been looking to explore other brands as I don't want to look like a walking billboard for Cue. It is hard, because they offer great design at a very reasonable price.</p> <p><b>Angie</b> thank you for the shortening advice. In relation to adding a belt, will I need to get the dressmaker to change the waist on the flamingo dress, as it currently is a tie waist? If I had it altered to an elastic waist, adding a belt would be much simpler.</p> <p><b>Sal</b> - I do love dresses and thanks for the advice on how to get the midis to work.</p> <p><b>Suntiger</b> - it looks like the lace dress is the firm favourite!</p> <p><b>Runclarla</b> the reason I bought both midi dresses was the fact that they had sleeves. My only hesitation on the lace dress was that it was so open on top.</p> <p><b>Brooklyn</b> - thanks for the shortening vote. I am a little scared of shortening the snake print dress by as much as 5 inches, but if Angie says it needs it, I am sure it will improve the dress.</p> <p><b>Mainlady</b> - you may be in the minority, but you are in very good company in voting for the snakeskin dress with Adriana and Katerina!</p> <p><b>Shevia</b> -&nbsp; I will try the midi dresses on with coats to see what length will work with my favourite coats. I will have to maintain my resolve to get them shortened because my seamstress often likes things long on me and has talked me out of alterations previously. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses#post-2014264 Fri, 22 Mar 2019 00:12:46 +0000 Jaime 2014264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All three are gorgeous! I have a feeling the mirror shot is slightly messing with the proportions. I love the first one as you expected ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses#post-2014260 Fri, 22 Mar 2019 00:05:24 +0000 Mainelady 2014260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is soooo hard to choose a favorite, here! The dot dress is a gorgeous color on you. The details on the snake print are soft and feminine...nice contrast to the earthy appeal of snake skin. The lace dress fits you perfectly and as you mentioned, will be easy to pair with multiple toppers. Soooo after going back and forth and careful scrutiny, I am going to cast my vote for the snakeskin. Love the light neutrals of the print and the peplum ruffle detail. YLF in all of them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses#post-2014254 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 23:51:05 +0000 Brooklyn 2014254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dresses! I do agree with Angie that the first 2 could be shortened a little. The lace dress is fabulous as is. It’s great that you can wear a variety of styles. Fab dresses and coats are your signature. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses#post-2014245 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 23:16:01 +0000 Carla 2014245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The floaty dresses are very good, but I do agree that shortening the hem will make them fabulous. I can see them becoming workhorses for you Shout out for the beautifully worked sleeves on both. #3 is perfect as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses#post-2014244 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 22:45:59 +0000 Anonymous 2014244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is the lace too, and agreeing with Angie about the others! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses#post-2014195 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 20:37:36 +0000 Sal 2014195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What gorgeous dresses - I like them all.</p> <p>I do agree that the snakeskin would be lovely shorter - with the higher neck I think a shorter midi would be fantastic.</p> <p>The Kate Sylvester is lovely - what a colour!!&nbsp; I prefer your styling to the model.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>And the Cue is a stunner too.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>You love dresses and dresses love you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses#post-2014108 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 18:12:16 +0000 Angie 2014108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What <b>Janet</b> said.</p> <p>Sweet <b>Bijou,</b> I LOVE the Snakeskin, but it needs a bit of a hack. Perhaps 4 to 5 inches off the hem.</p> <p>The colours of the flamingo are sublime! Needs a broad waist belt and a hack. Maybe 3 inches off the hem.</p> <p>Lace dress is super cute.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses#post-2014099 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 16:50:21 +0000 Katerina 2014099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, all are fantastic on you! What great additions.<br /> While I really like the dotted dress and the lace dress, my breathtakingly beautiful favourite is the Cue dress. I love the cut and the retro ladylike style. The fit is superb on you. So gorgeous.</p> <p>That brand - Cue - does amazing clothes, a little retro glam and yet so modern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses#post-2014085 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 15:32:51 +0000 Janet 2014085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’d be curious to see the flamingo dress belted to rein in a little of the volume and break up the expanse of print. The color is glorious on you. I like the reptile print too. Both of those dresses have a bit of retro appeal, and they are quite long, but with heels I believe they work. The lace sheath is a no-brainer and looks fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses#post-2014084 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 15:09:41 +0000 Mirjana 2014084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All dresses are beautiful on you. You wear them on the best way. I like the best red, no 1 and the next no 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses#post-2014083 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 15:08:30 +0000 delurked 2014083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color on the first and see how having some different styles is very helpful. I think the lace dress is getting the most love because it’s more fitted on you, and that structure really works for your figure. </p> <p>I have always loved dresses too. I think it’s the long torso that helps with dresses, even when sometimes dresses seem cut for shorter torsos than mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses#post-2014044 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 13:46:48 +0000 Adriana 2014044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very different then your shift dresses. And in these you also look very good. My favorite is the snake print. I love the subtle color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-update---dresses#post-2014041 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 13:30:20 +0000 Bijou 2014041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TG - so glad the flamingo dress is getting some love, as it is all about the colour.</p> <p>Momo - the slouchy style makes this a very comfortable dress. I am glad you like it too.</p> <p>Eva - I am a fan of lace dresses, so it was nice to find one that is a day dress.</p> <p>Kelly girl - so glad you like the floaty dresses. It is fun to try a new silhouette, although I suspect my shift dresses will still be the backbone of my wardrobe. </p>
