Maybe I'm just sensitive to the short torso look, but I'm not loving the proportion of this dress. I don't think it does your gorgeous self justice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-keep-this-dress-1#post-1695080 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 17:28:53 +0000 Anonymous 1695080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's even better in this size and with the change of belt.<br />&nbsp;I don't think the high waistedness bothers me, because I know it's the style of the dress but between your misgivings and your husband outspoken dislike I think you could find something else, especially since you don't look especially hard to find clothes for?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-keep-this-dress-1#post-1695075 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 17:09:26 +0000 Suz 1695075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you in this size, for sure.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-keep-this-dress-1#post-1695052 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 16:04:09 +0000 RobinF 1695052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't want to make your decision harder but I really like it on you. It does look high waisted but I don't think that's a bad thing. To me it looks deliberate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-keep-this-dress-1#post-1694983 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 14:36:10 +0000 Roxanna 1694983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, @Thistle. i actually do love the dress, but people's honest feedback here plus my husband's feedback (who never usually says anything negative) has me wondering! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-keep-this-dress-1#post-1694888 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 13:22:22 +0000 Thistle 1694888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Going to dissent here. I don't love it. It's nice, sure, but not spectacular to my eye. I think it's a touch too long.</p> <p>I am thinking you don't love it either as you don't sound excited by it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-keep-this-dress-1#post-1694882 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 13:14:56 +0000 Roxanna 1694882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Karie - the weird thing is, that's it's neither, and I think that might be a problem. It's not empire waisted, but it is really short waisted, and since I'm short waisted and the skirt is so long on me, it make the proportions look off. Does it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-keep-this-dress-1#post-1694783 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 10:46:51 +0000 Anonymous 1694783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this dress looks great on you. The smaller size definitely is the right call . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-keep-this-dress-1#post-1694780 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 10:35:20 +0000 Karie 1694780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks beautiful on you - is it supposed to be an empire waist dress, or was the dress designed to sit at your natural waist? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-keep-this-dress-1#post-1694778 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 10:17:37 +0000 Roxanna 1694778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Any more thoughts on this dress? Keep or return? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-keep-this-dress-1#post-1694474 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 22:45:48 +0000 Roxanna 1694474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies!</p> <p>Sally - you are too kind! I assure you I would NOT look good in a sack (unless it had structure and waist definition </p> <p>I go to wedding receptions a couple of times a year, I have a fancy evening at a conference coming up, plus I could wear this to mosque with a cardigan. So lots of occasions - if it's the right dress. </p> <p>@kiwigal - you pinpointed the exact issue everyone had with the other one - the proportions look off bc of my short waist and the long skirt. Hmmmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-keep-this-dress-1#post-1694423 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 21:43:36 +0000 Sal 1694423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely in the dress and I really like it, but do find it very high waisted which makes your legs look a million miles long, but does shorten the torso. &nbsp;You can get away with it though.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-keep-this-dress-1#post-1694419 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 21:37:14 +0000 Sally 1694419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm liking it on you but I'm guessing you'd look good in a sack. Will it be right for occasions you're buYing for? I'm just asking because I never go anywhere I'd need such a formal dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-keep-this-dress-1#post-1694412 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 21:26:07 +0000 Roxanna 1694412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So the size smaller came...somehow I'm liking this better. The length and not as long on me, and the way the lace is sewn at the skirt makes it dark at the waist, giving it a little more definition. Should I keep our return? IRL it is black and blush.</p> <p>I need an evening dress but am not hung up on this one if you think I can get something better. </p> <p>Ps last keep or return post - promise! </p>
