If you're dropping the big bucks on an Alexander McQueen, you want it to be standout, IMO. In addition to agreeing with others that the print in 2 is a bit less striking, I'm not loving the fit at neckline and upper arms. Also agree that 3 is a no. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-alexander-mcqueen-dresses#post-1536539 Sun, 09 Aug 2015 13:40:23 +0000 LucyRose 1536539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No. 2 no belt or belt either way:) But I feel like everyone has a different answer, so I might not be helping!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-alexander-mcqueen-dresses#post-1536467 Sun, 09 Aug 2015 06:10:48 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1536467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #1. It's hard to say how well the print will hold up, style-wise, in 5 years. But it's a very arty-looking print, so I'm guessing it will have a somewhat timeless appeal. The dress looks great on you.<br />I also like #2, with or without the belt. The neck looks fine; I'd let comfort be the guide. I'd pass on #3, though I'm attracted to the print. The style isn't as flattering, to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-alexander-mcqueen-dresses#post-1536462 Sun, 09 Aug 2015 05:51:07 +0000 Janet 1536462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 by far!

Too cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-alexander-mcqueen-dresses#post-1536456 Sun, 09 Aug 2015 05:36:59 +0000 goldenpig 1536456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 without the belt is fabulous!

I'd pass on 3. If you are only getting one dress, I vote 1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-alexander-mcqueen-dresses#post-1536285 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 20:34:29 +0000 harmonica 1536285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Diana and Shannon!

Keep you on track, is honest, skilful and supportive :-)</p> <p>Thanks, Word Lily! The dress is on sale, but it still is a bit expensive so I'd like to be fresh for a long time, not just 1-2 seasons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-alexander-mcqueen-dresses#post-1536151 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 14:28:26 +0000 Anonymous 1536151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree - the first one is best, and definitely without the belt. &nbsp; Interesting print! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-alexander-mcqueen-dresses#post-1536145 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 14:21:01 +0000 Angie 1536145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #1 without the belt. Best of the lot and fabulous.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-alexander-mcqueen-dresses#post-1536144 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 14:20:42 +0000 Elly 1536144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the first one, &nbsp;worn as a straight sheath, unbelted. The rest I could take or leave.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-alexander-mcqueen-dresses#post-1536140 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 14:16:49 +0000 Word Lily 1536140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #1 is unique and fun enough that it'll stay fresh for a long time, yes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-alexander-mcqueen-dresses#post-1536137 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 14:14:50 +0000 harmonica 1536137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks you, Joy and Word Lily!<br /> I agree that the print in #1 is more unique. Do you think it will still be modern in the next 5 years? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-alexander-mcqueen-dresses#post-1536132 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 14:11:33 +0000 harmonica 1536132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks you, smittie! It really helps a lot. It's easy to get confused in the store with different SAs and everything. l'm glad you're honest about the fit because it saves me for closet orphans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-alexander-mcqueen-dresses#post-1536129 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 14:10:13 +0000 Word Lily 1536129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is my favorite. I like it best without the belt. I like #2 as well, and I think it works better with a belt than #1. The neckline is good!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-alexander-mcqueen-dresses#post-1536128 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 14:08:54 +0000 Anonymous 1536128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote no to #3. My favorite is #1 without the belt. So easy and unique. I like 2 also but it looks more expected. The neckline looks ok to me if it is comfortable. If you feel like you are choking, pass on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-alexander-mcqueen-dresses#post-1536127 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 14:07:27 +0000 Anonymous 1536127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 best. The print is unusual, kind of spunky and fun, and the shape looks figure flattering. #3 highlights mid section too much IMO (side view on 1 is much better).<br /> Hope this helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-alexander-mcqueen-dresses#post-1536115 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 13:57:12 +0000 harmonica 1536115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 Is the neck line ok?</p> <p>#3 might be from Armani Jeans.</p> <p>ETA: I'm at home now, but might go back on Monday morning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-alexander-mcqueen-dresses#post-1536110 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 13:54:24 +0000 harmonica 1536110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the print on all three dresses, but how is the fit? </p> <p>#1 and #2 Do you like it with and without the belt? </p> <p>#3 is another brand, but I don't remember which. The back is beautiful (sorry, I forgot to take a picture), but I'm concerned about the side view. Not so comfortable with the mid area </p>
