BUT as always, if it doesn't feel good, then it doesn't deserve you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeing-yourself-on-your-ring-camera#post-2120379 Wed, 13 May 2020 21:02:02 +0000 Lizziewizzie 2120379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks nice. Boden often cut their dresses with very short torsos - so many are like this that it must be a deliberate styling?!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeing-yourself-on-your-ring-camera#post-2119710 Mon, 11 May 2020 01:13:54 +0000 MsMaven 2119710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, I'm going to keep it for now. I think it could be altered to add an extension to give me more length in the upper body. It is such a nice fabric. I might have it taken up at the hem as well.&nbsp;</p> <p>Maybe I just need to get used to wearing dresses again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeing-yourself-on-your-ring-camera#post-2119705 Sun, 10 May 2020 23:28:06 +0000 Anonymous 2119705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a jump suit several years ago in the early 1980’s that I thought looked good on me until I saw photos of my parents anniversary when I was wearing it. Yuk. I could not get rid of it fast enough. The worst part was how baggy it looked, especially in back.<br /> I don’t think your dress looks bad. Maybe wait and see what your alterations person says can be done. If you don’t think you will wear it, pass it on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeing-yourself-on-your-ring-camera#post-2119692 Sun, 10 May 2020 21:27:21 +0000 MsMaven 2119692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your comments. I have learned much from you, especially in the last almost 2 months.&nbsp;</p> <p>1. I am my own harshest critic, as I suspect many of us are. In photos my eyes zoom in on details that go unnoticed in the mirror. I forget that photos are 2-D and can distort proportions, color, and shapes.&nbsp;</p> <p>2. I've gotten used to Ring cameras (not allowed on in house unless we are going on a trip or will be away many hours. However, outdoors I forget the cameras watch me at the doorways and I'm often surprised at how I look. I've been known to delete particularly unflattering videos, just in case.&nbsp;</p> <p>3. I've learned from many Fabber's comments about your own photos that you also see details that the rest of the world would never notice.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks to all of you for all your comments and for your posts and photos the last few weeks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeing-yourself-on-your-ring-camera#post-2119685 Sun, 10 May 2020 21:13:04 +0000 Angie 2119685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn’t take too much notice of details in photos. The light and angle can distort an image terribly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeing-yourself-on-your-ring-camera#post-2119684 Sun, 10 May 2020 21:11:10 +0000 Angie 2119684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with the others! Great dress, sandals and hair </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeing-yourself-on-your-ring-camera#post-2119683 Sun, 10 May 2020 21:03:59 +0000 Jules 2119683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My sweet teenage daughter was excited about my outfit the other day and took some photos ‘for youlookfab, Mom!’. I was... less than thrilled with the results. I try to see it through her less judgmental eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeing-yourself-on-your-ring-camera#post-2119667 Sun, 10 May 2020 16:27:48 +0000 Jane 2119667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a super dress though! I wouldn't be especially concerned. Thing is photos are static and we move, so if it is a little bit less than flattering it will only be for a fleeting second. I really like the sandals.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeing-yourself-on-your-ring-camera#post-2119654 Sun, 10 May 2020 14:23:34 +0000 JAileen 2119654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks so nice on you. &nbsp;Fire your ring camera. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeing-yourself-on-your-ring-camera#post-2119637 Sun, 10 May 2020 13:33:44 +0000 Anonymous 2119637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cameras are the worst! I think (hope) I look ok irl, but am the least photogenic person on earth :/<br /> I think the dress looks fine as is, and love the sandals so :p to Ring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeing-yourself-on-your-ring-camera#post-2119598 Sun, 10 May 2020 09:26:24 +0000 Barbara Diane 2119598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeing-yourself-on-your-ring-camera#post-2119591 Sun, 10 May 2020 07:44:59 +0000 Bijou 2119591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ms Maven, please don’t be hard on yourself. You are beautiful and I like this dress on you. The length is flattering and gives you a long leg line. However, if you are not enjoying wearing this, pass it on. You have lots of beautiful clothes and accessories to enjoy and there is no point keeping something that you no longer like.</p> <p>For work, I sometimes have to do training videos. I cringe when I see them. Is that how I really sound and look? Which alas the answer is both yes and no. Yes, that is how I looked and sounded then, but the mere fact that I am presenting and being filmed, means that I am not 100% comfortable and not really being entirely myself. It is easier for me to see this with my work colleagues who also do presentations. I think it is natural to have an aversion to seeing ourselves on film, so I do sympathise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeing-yourself-on-your-ring-camera#post-2119562 Sun, 10 May 2020 04:17:05 +0000 kellygirl 2119562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I think it's a fab dress and I liked it from the first time I saw you in it. Agreeing with the others on candid shots. Sometimes I hardly recognize myself.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeing-yourself-on-your-ring-camera#post-2119557 Sun, 10 May 2020 03:39:45 +0000 Jenni NZ 2119557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Shevia. I am quite frequently a bit horrified by my photos and lately how I look on Zoom on the iPhone. But then I try to remember that I’m always hard on myself, yada yada yada, and after all I am well into middle age, nearly 60, and so what I look it!<br /> I think you look great in this dress and it would be a shame to ditch it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeing-yourself-on-your-ring-camera#post-2119551 Sun, 10 May 2020 03:27:11 +0000 Jaime 2119551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I went by all my candid shots I would not have any clothes left. You look great and I am sure you look much better than what you "saw" on film. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeing-yourself-on-your-ring-camera#post-2119538 Sun, 10 May 2020 02:07:39 +0000 Vildy 2119538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beauty being in the eye of the beholder, I think you look great.&nbsp;<br />I wouldn't be too jarred by a random photo image - the camera does, in fact,&nbsp;"lie".&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeing-yourself-on-your-ring-camera#post-2119530 Sun, 10 May 2020 00:46:47 +0000 slim cat 2119530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since I don't have a defined waist - I usually tie the sash/soft belt on the back ( slightly loose ). That way it gives my body some shape without having to deal with belt sitting in uncomfortable position .<br />The dress looks very nice on you - I like the length, the slit and the neckline. The sandals are perfect match in color and casual vibe.<br />I hope you'll find a way to keep wearing that dress or modify it into skirt&nbsp;<br />( should be lovely too ).&nbsp;<br />P.S. I hate seeing myself on video - awkward and such... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeing-yourself-on-your-ring-camera#post-2119529 Sun, 10 May 2020 00:36:01 +0000 MsMaven 2119529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ever look at yourself as recorded in your own Ring camera? And did you decide, as you watched your image move around, unconcerned, that you didn't like your dress?</p> <p>Two years ago I bought this Boden dress and wore it a lot. It has a self-fabric belt that you can't see well. It's always bothered me a bit because Boden dresses are a bit short waisted for me and ride up. Today I wore it but it was really bothering me--every time I raise my arms it rides up. Nice fabric, pockets, and fits fine.</p> <p>I thought about just cutting off the bottom and making a skirt out of it.</p> <p>Then I looked at the front door video of myself moving around, watering some plants. Ugh, I don't like the length on my legs and it just seems to hang unattractively. Well, I could shorten the skirt . . . but that's going to mean a lot of sewing for me--by hand, or wait for the local shop where I get alterations gets going again.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyone ever had this happen? Change your mind when you see an unposed photo? </p>
