It definitely defines your curves, but without sucking to them. It's flattering but also looks comfortable and chic. I hope it comes out next in a color that you love! (I never thought about sizing up in a dress like this -- it's genius!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-up-bailey-44-column-dress#post-1315994 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 10:24:15 +0000 Deborah 1315994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, I love both the colours and the fit for you. It is a very attractive dress and you look lovely in it. What is it about the colours that you don't like. I think they are very flattering on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-up-bailey-44-column-dress#post-1315981 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 07:26:11 +0000 Carmella Munguia 1315981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love the outfit and the fitting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-up-bailey-44-column-dress#post-1315976 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 06:37:49 +0000 Lucy 1315976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with everyone that this is super flattering and looks lovely. But yes, the colours are not so fab. I do hope you can get it in another colour!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-up-bailey-44-column-dress#post-1315974 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 06:23:49 +0000 catgirl 1315974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I voted nay for color but yay for fit - I size up in bodycon too which makes me feel more at ease. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-up-bailey-44-column-dress#post-1315948 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 05:19:52 +0000 goldenpig 1315948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fit looks great but I agree, I think you can handle more vibrant&nbsp;colors. This one seems kind of washed out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-up-bailey-44-column-dress#post-1315940 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 05:08:42 +0000 AJ 1315940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, excellent fit.

The colors did seen kind of "meh" to me, so I will keep my fingers crossed that you find it in a better color someday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-up-bailey-44-column-dress#post-1315581 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 20:47:53 +0000 Angie 1315581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the colours actually - and the fit. Still form fitting, but looks very flattering.&nbsp;xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-up-bailey-44-column-dress#post-1315499 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 19:25:15 +0000 Diana 1315499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't get it bc of the colors but I'm going to keep an eye out for other colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-up-bailey-44-column-dress#post-1315494 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 19:22:16 +0000 rae 1315494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the fit! Only like the colors, not love. A dress worth stalking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-up-bailey-44-column-dress#post-1315493 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 19:22:00 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1315493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like the fit of this Diana and not body con in the true sense. I actually like the soft colors on you. Do you have toppers that work with this to give it more versatility? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-up-bailey-44-column-dress#post-1315459 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 18:35:59 +0000 unfrumped 1315459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the fit is good and you've identified the issue--do you need this to fill a dress hole or do you want to hold out for a color that looks more vibrant on you. I think if it were even lighter it'd look better, like your flowy tops with cream and pastels, but this is maybe too mid-range. Though, it would look great with a topper in the orangey pink color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-up-bailey-44-column-dress#post-1315457 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 18:33:01 +0000 Gracie 1315457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the fit is very flattering and bonus if it feels good. The soft colors are blending with Your coloring, though, the effect is very soft. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-up-bailey-44-column-dress#post-1315452 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 18:27:23 +0000 Tanya 1315452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the fit is perfect, tailored bot not body-con.&nbsp; The colors are pretty, but kind of not so exciting on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-up-bailey-44-column-dress#post-1315451 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 18:26:01 +0000 columbine(erin) 1315451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fit. Tailored but not too tight. Flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-up-bailey-44-column-dress#post-1315444 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 18:21:59 +0000 Janet 1315444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks tailored, not especially body con to me, but yeah, I see what you mean about the colors. I think the fit is nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-up-bailey-44-column-dress#post-1315442 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 18:20:10 +0000 Diana 1315442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah I know what you mean, Denise. It's not stretched at all though so I guess maybe psychologically it feels better to me. In the "correct" size it fits fine but I *feel* like a sausage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-up-bailey-44-column-dress#post-1315441 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 18:18:12 +0000 CocoLion 1315441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fit on you. &nbsp;I consider this body con though. &nbsp;It could be, that I have gotten so used to oversized fits that a tailored fit now looks body con to me.</p> <p>I don't think these are bad colors on you either. &nbsp;But they're muted colors, they are not power colors and I think this type of dress might have a higher happiness factor in a wow, power color. &nbsp;(For example, my power colors are coral and teal.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-up-bailey-44-column-dress#post-1315439 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 18:13:26 +0000 Diana 1315439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not at this anthro right now but you know they always make several colors every year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-up-bailey-44-column-dress#post-1315438 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 18:09:51 +0000 Mona 1315438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fit very much. It does not look sloppy at all. Does it come in any other colours.? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-up-bailey-44-column-dress#post-1315436 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 18:08:09 +0000 Diana 1315436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Probably not going to get this bc I don't love the colors, but what do you think of the fit? It's an xl, so sized up quite a bit. As you know I don't do bodycon. Figured it was worth a try to see if I could get a looser fit with the xl. Does it work or is it just sloppy? </p>
