I just gave away something else that had that collar. Good eye! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-should-i#post-603090 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 19:48:04 +0000 catgirl 603090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd have to see the sheer dress on but my suspicion is no. I tried on a sheer black buttondown and it was difficult to figure out. </p> <p>Can you wear the collar style of that second dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-should-i#post-603019 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 18:54:07 +0000 jayne 603019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RAE, that is certainly what I was considering....but I think I am settled on it not being my style, old lady here! Don't want any more fashion traffic accidents! he he</p> <p>I need to concentrate on sleeved safari dresses, which is what i realllllly want </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-should-i#post-603012 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 18:49:52 +0000 rae 603012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know most of you aren't fans, but in case you are, this F21 version is pretty close:<br /> <a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?br=F21&#038;Category=DRESS&#038;ProductID=2000035953&#038;VariantID=&#038;utm_source=affiliatetraction&#038;utm_medium=cj&#038;utm_campaign=affiliate" rel="nofollow">http://www.forever21.com/Produ.....=affiliate</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-should-i#post-603004 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 18:46:18 +0000 rae 603004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not familiar enough with your style, but I'm with NailpolishMan! I could totally see the long, sheer dress over a shorter jersey tank dress in a variety of colors - such a cool, mysterious, etherial effect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-should-i#post-602979 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 18:26:19 +0000 jayne 602979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, it isn't the sheerness, it is the length and the collar and buttons. I think I am obessed with safari type looks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-should-i#post-602482 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 01:05:04 +0000 Aida 602482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jayne I'm not sold on either dress for you. If you are drawn to the sheerness of #1, I think maybe getting a sheer blouse that you could layer a tank underneath would be the best option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-should-i#post-602180 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 18:42:20 +0000 jayne 602180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I must admit it is a huge relief to get this feedback ...the sneaking suspicion that neither is fab enough confirmed. Thanks so much Meridith, Sveta, Kiwichik, and Christieanne, I will keep looking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-should-i#post-602132 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 17:58:30 +0000 Meredith1953 602132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jayne,<br /> I am unsure about both of them. The first one is too sheer in my opinion and the second one is a gorgeous color but I can't tell from the silhouette what it would look like on. I think you can do MUCH better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-should-i#post-602119 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 17:47:59 +0000 Kiwichik 602119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jayne how much wear would you get out of the sheer dress - I have to admit I'm not a fan but I think the other dress is lovely &amp; has a more grown up look &amp; feel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-should-i#post-602057 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 16:31:39 +0000 Sveta 602057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sheer clothing is on trend now but I think it is hard to pull off without weering into a dangerous territory. I know it would drive me crazy to have to wear something under it all the time but on the other hand a black cami and black leggings can look good.<br /> I am not a fan of the second dress oather than the color and the fact that it has sleeves </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-should-i#post-602056 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 16:30:11 +0000 christieanne 602056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very bold. I would suggest getting it ONLY if you can get the under slip part at same time. If you don't , you might end up with a closet orphan.<br /> The second dress is a gorgeous color and does have the benefit of not needing a slip. But it is so covered up compared to number one that I wonder if it would satisfy your longing for this type of dress?<br /> Where do you envision dress #1 going? Dates and casual dinners,etc?<br /> With something like this I have to ask myself where I might actually wear it : ) </p> <p>That said, you could rock the dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-should-i#post-601890 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 12:08:24 +0000 jayne 601890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is at BikBok. You have that in UK? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-should-i#post-601885 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 11:40:46 +0000 Anonymous 601885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is a beautiful dress.</p> <p>I'd love something like that myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-should-i#post-601884 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 11:35:27 +0000 jayne 601884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried on this sheer shirt dress, maxi even, this weekend. My daughter vetoed it, but something keeps me looking at it.</p> <p>I know I would wear a dark slip under it. at least nearly to my knees. It reminds me of the Mango safari/shirt dress I looked at recently. Probably not a better option. Stop me please</p> <p>I also am adding another alternative....that I haven't seen in the shops yet, but have to try to know my size. It appeals, but not in the same way, probably because it does not have a collar or visible buttons? But it does have sleeves.</p> <p>Would you go for the sheer dress? It is a 'cheap' one in Norwegian terms </p>
