I loved the dress, but would have passed on it because being a wrap when sitting down it shows off way more leg that I am comfortable with. However, over jeans as a tunic, it is perfect. My figure is a slim pear shape, so I prefer to have waist definition, as tunics that go straight down, make me look larger than I actually am. I am also planning on wearing it over jeans and a t-shirt in the kimono style (like my picture below). I hope you find your perfect tunic / dress to wear, as I really love this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-flouncy-frocks-over-crops#post-1835664 Sat, 12 Aug 2017 20:21:44 +0000 Jenni NZ 1835664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just looked back on Angie's original post from 4th August, and it doesn't look like any of her pictured dresses have waists. When I think of tunics in my own wardrobe, some of which are long enough to be worn without pants underneath, none of the more summery ones have waists. So I wonder if perhaps waists wouldn't look as good to get that look? But no expert. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-flouncy-frocks-over-crops#post-1835634 Sat, 12 Aug 2017 17:33:12 +0000 jenny1963 1835634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, kkards!! So, there are two waisted dresses (and a super-dropped waist) in your assortment. Do you think crops work with a "waisted" dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-flouncy-frocks-over-crops#post-1835577 Sat, 12 Aug 2017 13:49:15 +0000 kkards 1835577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i always think of anthro when i think about this kind of look.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-flouncy-frocks-over-crops#post-1835473 Sat, 12 Aug 2017 03:03:26 +0000 jenny1963 1835473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A further question, in case anyone sees this: are the dresses for flouncy frocks (worn over crops) waistless (that is no natural waist or empire line)?<br /> That's what I tend to see (although I'm not super-adept at the shapes of dresses.) They seem to be be shifts or trapeze shape or very drop-waisted, right? Are there shapes of dresses that look best over crops, I suppose, is another way to ask the question? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-flouncy-frocks-over-crops#post-1835435 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 22:35:21 +0000 jenny1963 1835435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Joy, thanks!! I'm not sure if it's the overall dress that overwhelms me or if it's the <b>tops</b> of dresses and tunics that do so. My shoulders slope, so I need distinct shoulder seams (vs. very unconstructed items.) I agree with you; I'd LOVE to see a round-up of flouncy frocks or actually any frocks that would work over crops. I'm not very adept at proportions; so Angie's eagle eye would really help. Thanks again!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-flouncy-frocks-over-crops#post-1835434 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 22:31:54 +0000 jenny1963 1835434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Juniper Green!! That looks great: I ordered it too!! Can't wait to see it on you!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-flouncy-frocks-over-crops#post-1835326 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 14:08:23 +0000 Anonymous 1835326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After Angie's blog post on flouncy frocks over crops, I was hoping to see a round-up of them. There are lots of flouncy tops out there that are not dresses. You may like to go with them if fabric easily overwhelms you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-flouncy-frocks-over-crops#post-1835319 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 13:58:17 +0000 JuniperGreen 1835319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just ordered this dress from Nordstrom - haven't received it yet but I'll try to report back when I do! &nbsp;Since it's on the shorter side and tunic-ish I'm hoping it looks good over crops.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-flouncy-frocks-over-crops#post-1835230 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 04:58:45 +0000 jenny1963 1835230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need some "flouncy frocks" or longer tunics to wear over my black Halogen kick crops. I'm a slender I-shape with sloping shoulders and smaller chest. I like a more open necklace (more open than jewel.) &nbsp;I get easily overwhelmed with fabric. I look better in darker colors, as I'm pale with dark hair (high value contrast.) Any suggestions or is this too general? </p>
