I'll have to check my local store this weekend and see if they have any. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shirtdress-recommendation#post-1651502 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 20:58:28 +0000 Momo 1651502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is great on you. I can't believe it is. A tall! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shirtdress-recommendation#post-1651496 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 20:47:17 +0000 Diana 1651496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, Angie, I know.&nbsp; This dress also comes in petite; I'm not sure who would be able to wear it, unless they were getting it to wear as a top.&nbsp; All the dresses I tried at Gap were quite short actually.&nbsp; </p> <p>Tanya, I liked the blue too but I already have several blue or blue printed dresses so I'm not allowed to buy any more!</p> <p>Aida, I hope it works out for you too!</p> <p>Janet, I have in the past had particular problems with the buttons on shirtdresses coming undone around the waist, I think because when I sit down the placket bends and unbuttons itself.&nbsp; That's why I was planning on sewing mine shut even before I knew about the buttons on this one.&nbsp; Just makes me feel more secure.&nbsp; I already tested and it's very easy to slip on over my head.&nbsp; </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shirtdress-recommendation#post-1651486 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 20:27:08 +0000 Angie 1651486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO fun. Love it on you, Diana. The colour launches me into orbit.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hilarious that you are ordering a Tall!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shirtdress-recommendation#post-1651431 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 18:56:47 +0000 Anonymous 1651431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great Diana! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shirtdress-recommendation#post-1651422 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 18:41:45 +0000 Janet 1651422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida -- your question is one I constantly rant about when shopping for dresses. And I'm not even truly "tall" -- 5'7" is not much above average! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shirtdress-recommendation#post-1651403 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 18:06:04 +0000 rabbit 1651403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a great color on you and a good shape. &nbsp;Love orange! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shirtdress-recommendation#post-1651399 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 18:00:19 +0000 rachylou 1651399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good on you. And here I got rid of an orange shirt dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shirtdress-recommendation#post-1651371 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 17:00:35 +0000 RobinF 1651371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice color. &nbsp;The sleeves are pretty long compared to the length aren't they. Crazy. At least if you plan to wear them folded up it won't be an issue.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shirtdress-recommendation#post-1651368 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 16:59:16 +0000 catgirl 1651368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulousness!&nbsp; </p> <p>I have a very similar linen shirtdress from BR that I'm about to put on Style Exchange as it's just not feeling like me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shirtdress-recommendation#post-1651360 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 16:44:20 +0000 AviaMariah 1651360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great orange on you! &nbsp;I'm glad you got the size to work. I didn't realize how how shirt dresses could be to fit until I started trying a few on this spring. &nbsp;And the sides! &nbsp;Many come up too high for 5'2" shortie me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shirtdress-recommendation#post-1651358 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 16:36:59 +0000 Aida 1651358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh thanks for the recommendation! I'm going to order a few sizes. This orange looks delicious Dress looks super on you. The tall doesn't look too much longer. What do taller women do for dresses!?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shirtdress-recommendation#post-1651347 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 16:13:31 +0000 Janet 1651347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks great on you! I'm glad you found one that works -- as you know, I can sympathize on this hunt, and I'm excited that I found the one from Anthro that works for taller women who want some length.&nbsp;</p> <p>Oh, the buttonholes. I wore a shirt the other day that had this issue -- I hadn't worn it since last summer, and it's a really casual shirt that I was just wearing around the house, so no big deal, but I looked down at one point to realize I'd come unbuttoned. Fortunately, I was the only one around. I've also added stitches to the buttonholes to close them up a little, if I still want the buttons to work.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shirtdress-recommendation#post-1651345 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 16:08:50 +0000 Sara L. 1651345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great on you!&nbsp; The color is really vibrant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shirtdress-recommendation#post-1651341 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 15:44:54 +0000 Tanya 1651341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the recommendation, Diana, it looks great on you!&nbsp; I really like the blue version, but will stay away, as I have one light and one dark denim shirtdress and can not justify another blue one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shirtdress-recommendation#post-1651338 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 15:39:17 +0000 Diana 1651338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And it's orange!&nbsp; </p> <p>I've been looking for a waistless shirtdress for ages.&nbsp; They are all either too tight in the hips or too big in the shoulders.&nbsp; I found this orange one at Gap last week.&nbsp; It's 100% cotton (a lightweight crepe), fully lined (lining is also cotton), and fits in my true size (i.e. I didn't have to size up for the hips).&nbsp; The regular I tried in store (last pic) was a bit too short - it's hard to tell in the fitting room photo, but the sides were quite short, especially when I sit.&nbsp; Since I primarily want to wear this without anything underneath, I ordered a tall online.&nbsp; (By the way, I'm only 5'3.5").&nbsp; I've had other tall dresses from Gap and have generally found that "tall" at Gap mostly just means "longer length" so the proportions are still ok for shortie me.&nbsp; The sleeves are a wee bit on the long side, but you all know I prefer that anyway, and when rolled it doesn't matter.&nbsp; </p> <p>The color is truest in the fitting room pic, a true orange.&nbsp; </p> <p>Anyway, if you're interested, Gap has 40% off today! </p> <p>ETA: One small warning.&nbsp; The buttons on mine tend to come undone a lot because the buttonholes are too big.&nbsp; I was planning on sewing&nbsp; the placket shut anyway (because I think it hangs better that way) so it's not an issue for me.&nbsp; </p>
