I suspect the print will be very flattering because of the diagonal movement. I like that it nips in at the waist. (I don't understand about the underboob band --- is this the waistband we're discussing?) I like the modern but not too sporty (like #1) print --- tribal but not out there, fresh and dramatic colour. I also think that neckline is easier to wear. You can layer under the dress in transitional seasons with the lack of sleeves (btw, shoulder coverage much sturdier than #3, which is somewhat similar) and lower neckline. It's going to work with your leather jacket, denim jacket, fuschia jacket, green jacket, black or brown blazers, and of course white jacket.</p> <p>Second choice is #2, which is retro, VERY flattering colour, easy to wear as an FFBO. I actually like having the chain detail there --- adds just a touch of toughness to the sweetness; but would that be an issue in the laundry? Not as versatile as the last two though, because of the magyar sleeves and high neckline. Suspect needs the addition of vertical lines in styling. Would however look fab with white and denim jackets for summer, maybe with brown or grey leather. Should work with green jacket too. Not as sure how it would because in transitional seasons or with other coloured blazers and jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dress#post-616393 Thu, 10 May 2012 02:06:28 +0000 Transcona Shannon 616393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much for the insightful feedback - looks like I will be trying #1 and #2 on and see how they work out...but not until my May Madness is done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dress#post-616359 Thu, 10 May 2012 01:44:05 +0000 Deborah 616359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p># 1 and #2 for you I think :)</p> <p>I love the style and colors in #1 and I think you could make this you!<br /> #2 has a more retro feel and the color is lovely for you.</p> <p>#3/4 are a style that I personally no longer enjoy. This style with the under boob band was and has been popular here for a number of years and I am just very tired of it. It was everywhere. I find it a little uninteresting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dress#post-616333 Thu, 10 May 2012 01:29:58 +0000 Anonymous 616333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1. I so wish #2 didn't have that chain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dress#post-616327 Thu, 10 May 2012 01:27:03 +0000 Aida 616327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 for sure, and #1 would be worth a try as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dress#post-616266 Thu, 10 May 2012 00:40:52 +0000 Sara L. 616266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3 and #4. The prints seem versatile and could be dressed up or dressed down depending on what topper you wore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dress#post-616262 Thu, 10 May 2012 00:35:58 +0000 Theodora 616262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Number 1 is amazing, but between the slim cut and the placement of the bright stripes at hip level, I think you'd have to be a very slim rectangle or hourglass to pull this off. #2 is a terrific color, a style that would complement almost anyone, and versatile. To me, this coral dress would make me smile and feel happy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dress#post-616260 Thu, 10 May 2012 00:26:59 +0000 goldenpig 616260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #2 seems the most like your style. I like the retro Mad men look, coral color and texture. I think between #1 and #2, #1 seems more '80's and #2 more '60's. Depends on which vibe you're going for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dress#post-616172 Wed, 09 May 2012 22:04:33 +0000 ironkurtin 616172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #1! if you think you'd wear it, give it a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dress#post-616171 Wed, 09 May 2012 21:59:41 +0000 Anonymous 616171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd try on #1 and see what the print placement does for your body. If it looks good, and feels like you, that could be a great dress to add in. I think #3 would be a very flop-proof, flattering and versatile dress that would work well with your wardrobe too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dress#post-616169 Wed, 09 May 2012 21:53:55 +0000 Echo 616169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Number one! Definitely! The bold colours and the colour block/pattern are perfectly seasonal and fit your bright and adventurous personality. The others just don't compare, IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dress#post-616130 Wed, 09 May 2012 20:57:05 +0000 nancylee 616130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for #1 if you're feeling adventurous, #2 if you're feeling classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dress#post-616115 Wed, 09 May 2012 20:33:41 +0000 Sylvie 616115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 and #2 are my favorites. It's a tie because I can't decide between the print and that beautiful orange color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dress#post-616108 Wed, 09 May 2012 20:23:19 +0000 rae 616108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 4 and 1. I think the colors of 4 wold be easy to mix n match with both brights n neutrals for the office. For 1 iwould worry that the pattern scale is too big </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dress#post-616104 Wed, 09 May 2012 20:19:56 +0000 annagybe 616104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is cool, really cool, but it doesn't seem you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dress#post-616101 Wed, 09 May 2012 20:17:42 +0000 Lori 616101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hands down #1 is my favorite - love the cut and colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dress#post-615917 Wed, 09 May 2012 15:06:19 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 615917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the pattern of 1 and the color of 2. Have you ever tried the Jones NY store on Kenaston? They had a ton of dresses in last week. I bought the coral and the darker pinky red one there and there was one more I would have loved to have that was stripes in teal/blue getting progressively darker top to bottom.

My favourite it #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dress#post-615914 Wed, 09 May 2012 15:01:18 +0000 modgrl 615914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all nice but I don't like the underboob band on 3 and 4 as much. I just don't feel like it is very current. I find that you really need to try dresses on. You can't tell anything about how they will look on you from the pictures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dress#post-615903 Wed, 09 May 2012 14:53:06 +0000 Transcona Shannon 615903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am considering adding one more dress to my wardrobe for summer once my SYC is done - something colourful and fun. Dresses are my favourite wardrobe item to wear - I find them comfortable and easy. Since I find Cleo petites dresses to fit me the best, wear well, easy to care for and budget friendly, I'll be going with them again. Plus they are a local store and I can try on for fit.</p> <p>I like all of these dresses but am only looking to add one. Which one is your favourite and why? Also, let me know if none of them are worth trying on.</p> <p>Thanks for your input! </p>
