This could be an idea for a whole new thread, you know:&nbsp; In Defense of the Impractical Dressy Item . . .&nbsp; Not too long ago I bought a Catherine Malandrino jacket---beautifully cut, and completely covered with tiny white sequins.&nbsp; It fits perfectly, and glitters discreetly, like snow.&nbsp; But almost immediately the guilty panic set in:&nbsp; Where would I wear it, and with what? What was I thinking?&nbsp; Answer:&nbsp; Who cares?&nbsp; And I was THINKING that I will look great in this jacket--somewhere, sometime. Meanwhile, it makes me smile every time I open the closet door. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-rebecca-taylor-dresses/page/2#post-1532198 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 01:51:38 +0000 Suz 1532198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup.

Blast air conditioning and all that.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-rebecca-taylor-dresses/page/2#post-1532070 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 21:28:05 +0000 Suz 1532070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where did you find it on the Holt's website, Lisa? Maybe I don't know how to use that site! </p> <p>As for ponte, yeah, that gives me pause with the sleeveless. But I wonder what they mean. </p> <p>&nbsp;And all that stuff about fashion being for small size people? Yeah, maybe if you are a model and get to try the samples. Otherwise, it's a myth. If you are a 4 or a 6, maybe it's easy. But for me, the rule is buy online, and BBQ (buy buy quick), or forget it. I just lost my size in the Vince crewneck sweater by waiting a fraction too long. It's okay -- that's a game I was willing to pay at the price -- but if you wear a small size you don't have the luxury of waiting for sales as a rule. Or they don't carry it at all. At my Bay, there is almost nothing in my size, ever.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-rebecca-taylor-dresses/page/2#post-1532056 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 21:10:32 +0000 Anonymous 1532056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's on Holt's website for $325 Cdn. &nbsp;If it's the same one - I didn't realize it was ponte ...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-rebecca-taylor-dresses/page/2#post-1532054 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 21:06:50 +0000 Thistle 1532054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely!

If you're craving this dress THIS MUCH, it'd be a sin to not try it. </p> <p>As far as birthdays go, I'm sure your bday can be in August this year! </p> <p>Ok I have to confess.....I announced it was my bday the day iPhone 6 was launched in India last year. And my darling of a husband indulged me too!!!! It was hilarious that he came home from work with the new phone as well as a bday cake and bouquet! For my fake bday! I laughed my head off...but have decided I'll announce my bday Atleast one extra time every year...just when I need an excuse for an impractical splurge Try It! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-rebecca-taylor-dresses#post-1531676 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 01:28:35 +0000 shedev 1531676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue would be lovely on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-rebecca-taylor-dresses#post-1531668 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 01:14:05 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1531668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, Suz. Hope you're feeling more like yourself as time goes by. And begone, nasty flu! </p> <p>And I saw a very similar dress by Rebecca Taylor in person, and the fabric seemed quite substantial. Plus the description says it's lined. </p> <p>Actually, it was <a href="http://www.rebeccataylor.com/ponte-off-shoulder-dress/invt/rt315712d310" rel="nofollow">this dress</a> I saw. It sure didn't seem like ponte knit, though. More like a weighty gabardine. Oh, now I see on the Rebecca Taylor website, "your" dress is listed as being ponte knit, too. So same fabric, most likely.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-rebecca-taylor-dresses#post-1531663 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 01:02:58 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1531663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would like the blue/ purple best for you. It's a color and shape I also love ... But the high neckline wouldn't work for me.</p> <p>Sveta is fortunate to have a dancing husband. Back in the day, mine pretended to like dancing till I got rid of the handsome German boy I used to go clubbing with around the time I met him, but then reverted to his true non-dancing colors afterward. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-rebecca-taylor-dresses#post-1531565 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 22:08:17 +0000 Marilyn 1531565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a good excuse to browse the designer section, Suz.&nbsp; :)&nbsp; Will let you know what I find..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-rebecca-taylor-dresses#post-1531517 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 19:24:24 +0000 Suz 1531517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Marilyn</b>, that would be brilliant -- thank you!! Holt's doesn't have it on their web site (then again, their web site is awful).&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Lisa</b>, this is why I am such an online shopper and even willing to pay US prices. It's hopeless to live outside a major metropolitan area. And to be a hard to find size. Even if I did find the dress in the store in TO, the chance that it would be available in my own size is almost nil.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-rebecca-taylor-dresses#post-1531500 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 18:57:49 +0000 Marilyn 1531500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suz</b>......If you like I can take a peek at Nordstrom next weekend and see if it's there......see what it's like, check the CDN price, etc.&nbsp; I'm due for a trip to Rideau.&nbsp; The selection for each designer is fairly small but you never know.</p> <p>I vote for the purple as well.&nbsp; It would be gorgeous on you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-rebecca-taylor-dresses#post-1531493 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 18:48:45 +0000 Suz 1531493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Lisa</b>, great idea. At least maybe I could try it on. Of course Holt's doesn't have a lot on the website. But worth checking. Thanks!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Maneera,</b> I <b>love</b> the idea of a birthday dress. Unfortunately, my birthday is in January. I would freeze in this number then...unless I also wore a cozy stole...heh heh heh heh....or I could celebrate my birthday in June instead. What the heck.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Sharan</b>, you are intuitive. I suspect that grief is making me act a bit out of character. I'm very sleep deprived, have just had flu for the past week on top of everything else, and am not feeling entirely like myself.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-rebecca-taylor-dresses#post-1531470 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 18:10:40 +0000 Anonymous 1531470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you check Holt's though? &nbsp;I bet you can get it there . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-rebecca-taylor-dresses#post-1531469 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 18:10:03 +0000 Anonymous 1531469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it - and can absolutely see you in it. &nbsp;I vote blue too:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-rebecca-taylor-dresses#post-1531445 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 17:36:11 +0000 Janet 1531445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Sharan said.

I haven't seen you gush about an item like this one before. I actually wondered if your YLF account had been hacked. It just didn't sound like you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-rebecca-taylor-dresses#post-1531438 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 17:28:45 +0000 Maneera 1531438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another enabler here. Plus, this dress is so versatile! You can really wear it ANYWHERE....lunch, date night, dinner with friends, even shopping! </p> <p>But I get it....the fabric might be too lightweight to be practical. Why not order it and find out? Atleast you'll have it out of your system. </p> <p>Btw - I have a beloved black dressy dress that I usually wear no more than once a year. But I don't complain ----- the one time I do wear it, I feel like a million bucks and my heart sings!!!! I have this deal with myself- I pick one thing a year that's probably impractical but I call it 'My Birthday Dress'. I wear it for my bday if nothing else! And who knows, you could use this dress a lot when you travel next to someplace warm. If not, it can be bday dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-rebecca-taylor-dresses#post-1531434 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 17:22:14 +0000 celia 1531434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another enabler here. The blue color would be perfect on you.<br /> Maybe this dress is the push you need to try new things </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-rebecca-taylor-dresses#post-1531419 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 16:55:57 +0000 Peri 1531419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I believe in true love.

But the length is better on <b>YOU</b>, sweet Suz. Plus, I just bought&nbsp;<i>the</i>&nbsp;most impractical wardrobe item of them all, which believe it or not, I will be wearing for an event today. &nbsp;<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-rebecca-taylor-dresses#post-1531296 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 13:05:56 +0000 Staysfit 1531296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I eyed that dress but it's too short for me!

He just snorted when I talked longingly of your lessons. Maybe I need to find a gay boyfriend just for dancing?&nbsp;</p> <p>Wouldn't this dress be perfect for dancing?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-rebecca-taylor-dresses#post-1531285 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 12:50:07 +0000 Sveta 1531285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue dress woud be perfect for you. The black - who needs versatility when we are talking&nbsp;party dress&nbsp; -blue all the way!&nbsp;<br />You need to start taking dancing, Suz! Then you will have occasions to wear this dress many times in the year - and this dress is PERFECT for dancing! It is amazing how dancing created so many going out occasions and excuses to add more floaty dresses and actually wearing them!<br />If only it was 3-4" longer I would be considering it too...<br />Let's talk Mr.Suz into this - he should talk to my hubby for the inspiration </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-rebecca-taylor-dresses#post-1531280 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 12:38:48 +0000 Suz 1531280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha ha, you are all great enablers - - thank you!! &nbsp;;)&nbsp;</p> <p>Deborah, you're right that it has dress up/ dress down potential.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think the purply blue colour would be really flattering on me, but the black might be more versatile. Oh, to try it on in person!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Carter, the season for wearing a dress like this up here depends a bit on several factors: how warm a person runs (or how cold); how warm the venues run (or cold, with AC); and type of event (indoor/ outdoor). Not to mention the variable weather.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm not completely sure about the fabric's weight, so it's a bit hard to judge -- thickness of fabric would make a big difference. If it's thin and floaty, this is definite summer only material here. If it is a bit more substantial, then it could work spring (with topper), summer, fall (with topper).&nbsp;</p> <p>Some people might wear it in winter to cocktail type parties. With a coat, obviously. And hose.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm not sure if I would do that. I would definitely wear it to go dancing, though. Ask me how often I go dancing.... &nbsp; &nbsp;;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-rebecca-taylor-dresses#post-1531251 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 06:17:00 +0000 Deborah 1531251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, that dress would look amazing on you. &nbsp;Its very chic! &nbsp;I am doing my best to enable you here ok?? &nbsp;I would wear this out to lunch, dinner, church, dress it up with heels, down with flats. &nbsp;Pop a cropped denim jacket over it. &nbsp;I could go on. &nbsp; I think you might need this:) </p>
