Please give the Kenneth Cole dress in the YLF store a try.<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/store/2010/06/15/kenneth-cole-new-york-drape-front-dress/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/store/20.....ont-dress/</a><br /> It's 38 inches long and the lining is mesh (double layer like the Sweet Pea tops. It's breezy but gives one a nice shape without being binding. It's machine washable. It would be worth 2 dresses if it works for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seriously-more-dress-ranting#post-180935 Thu, 08 Jul 2010 12:53:51 +0000 Debora 180935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris, I can sympathize with you. I've had zero luck this summer finding a cool, light weight dress that is long enough. I did find a few that were great in the length, but they were lined which just isn't practical in my hot summer climate. So frustrating!!! I like the look of the silk dress. It looks cool and breezy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seriously-more-dress-ranting#post-180871 Thu, 08 Jul 2010 05:31:14 +0000 chewyspaghetti 180871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had been eyeballing this Kenneth Cole dress at Macy's</p> <p><a href="http://www.kennethcole.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4092272&#038;cp=3075218.3075425.3075447" rel="nofollow">http://www.kennethcole.com/pro.....25.3075447</a></p> <p>The denim dress that I just got and love is Kenneth Cole and a similar style. I don't know how practical a silk dress is for me, but for 60% off I decided to give it a try.</p> <p>I think that I am going to go this weekend to Macy's and see if I can find any dresses. I will bring both dresses with me and decide what to do with the white one while there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seriously-more-dress-ranting#post-180863 Thu, 08 Jul 2010 04:57:13 +0000 crazyone 180863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris, I just bought some dresses from eshakti, and they came out pretty well (though one is a little too long)--they're very customizable in terms of asking for your bra size and height when they make the dress for you, and they're mostly in light cottons:</p> <p><a href="http://www.eshakti.com/clothsrpage.asp?catalog=Clothes&#038;cate=day+dresses&#038;pagecount=1&#038;view=all" rel="nofollow">http://www.eshakti.com/clothsr.....8;view=all</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seriously-more-dress-ranting#post-180856 Thu, 08 Jul 2010 04:34:32 +0000 Anonymous 180856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the white dress with jeans. HOWEVER. The cost seems steep for what now amounts to a tunic top that you could probably find less expensively at places like Old Navy. If this were me, I'd return both and try the Michael Kors dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seriously-more-dress-ranting#post-180737 Thu, 08 Jul 2010 01:27:47 +0000 Mellllls 180737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the Michael Kors one may be too short on you...what do you think? The white one is fabulous in the jeans, especially the second picture. I would def. keep it!</p> <p>I would also suggest going to a Macys and checking out what they have. My Macys has tons of dresses in store that are not available online. I found two perfect ones last weekend and only one of them is available online. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seriously-more-dress-ranting#post-180730 Thu, 08 Jul 2010 01:22:00 +0000 marianna 180730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the white dress with jeans... what a great look!

They came today, and neither of them work.<br /> This one (which Angie recommended in denim)<br /> <a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=469306&#038;PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/catalog/.....sn_results</a><br /> is too small and too short. I'd size up, but I got the largest size available.<br /> This one<br /> <a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=473916&#038;CategoryID=5449&#038;LinkType=PDPZ1" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/catalog/.....Type=PDPZ1</a><br /> is also too short. Without a belt it looks too boxy, but belted it hits me mid thigh and exposes the cellulite on the back of my thighs. It's also too hot for the summer here. I love it, though and am considering keeping it to wear with jeans in the fall, but can't decide if I can spare the money.<br /> Now I have to figure out if it's worth driving to a Macy's to see if I can find something else, or paying the return shipping. </p>
