It's a really pretty summer color and so very soft but the length is a killer. The tailor that I go to won't do knits so I I would have to find someone who does in order to make this work. </p> <p><a href="http://s374.photobucket.com/albums/oo187/shana_ylf/dresses/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_2217-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s374.photobucket.com/al.....2217-1.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shana-purple-dress-heads-up#post-67777 Wed, 27 May 2009 04:55:11 +0000 elpgal 67777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lwc, I saw the dress you are talking about. It was gorgeous and oh so soft, but they didn't have my size. I am going to try again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shana-purple-dress-heads-up#post-67749 Wed, 27 May 2009 02:12:53 +0000 shana 67749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lesley for the update. It looked great on you! I've had mixed emotions about that Gap dress but I've had such a hard time finding anything at all that I was willing to settle. I agree that the quality is not that superb - it's not a really soft &#38; squishy jersey. I also had to size up to accommodate the boobage but that made the dress a tad bit long for me (just below knee). But I liked the color and this was one of the only empire cuts that I've tried that didn't make me look pregnant. </p> <p>Shoot, I was just at the outlets again this past Friday but just popped in on the way back from the beach to get some shorts for my son. I didn't have a chance to go into the BR outlet. I will definitely check it out next time I am at the outlets.</p> <p>Well, let me throw a tip back at you - the purple gap dress is almost an exact copy of a J. Crew dress from last summer. I actually saw the J Crew version at the outlet (yeah, I was only supposed to be looking at the Crew Cuts stuff but just happened to end up in the ladies section as well:)- they had it in a few colors (I remember black &#38; lilac). The quality was way better than the GAP version but it was super long on me - I'll need to download the pics from my camera so I can post. Anyway, take a look if you have a J crew outlet nearby. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shana-purple-dress-heads-up#post-67740 Wed, 27 May 2009 01:55:27 +0000 lwc 67740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shana:</p> <p>I just wanted to let you know that I ended up returning my purple jersey dress from Gap Outlet.</p> <p>I found a dress in the same style, but far better quality at BR Outlet. I bought one in black. I also saw it in a gorgeous green color. It's washable and it feels like pajamas...mmmmm. It definitely can go anywhere, dressed up or dressed down. I considered duplicating, but I try to avoid multiples; and for some reason the XS green one didn't fit as well as the XS black one.</p> <p>Anyhoo, I just thought I'd share my "upgrade" with you. Hope this helps. </p>
