It's great to get so much feedback, but it's tricky with different thoughts! I really like the print and colour of the lighter one, but not entirely sure about the cut... but many seem to like it - and Angie does! :)</p> <p>I'm thinking of the other printed dress I found, but if I buy that instead I will have two dark summer dresses, so then I'd prefer the lighter one... hm, tricky!</p> <p>Thank you delurked, I think shift dresses would cling to my tummy too much..! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses---to-keep#post-1808138 Sat, 13 May 2017 00:16:38 +0000 rachylou 1808138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they're both really nice on you. They fall well. I'd keep both.</p> <p>I do that too - sneak into the maternity department. There are really cute things you can find. Things are fitted nowadays, not baggy sacks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses---to-keep#post-1808133 Fri, 12 May 2017 23:44:58 +0000 Jenni NZ 1808133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the navy one better on your figure. It would look great with your floral bomber! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses---to-keep#post-1808131 Fri, 12 May 2017 23:34:26 +0000 Angie 1808131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I much prefer the floral. Nice with your complexion.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses---to-keep#post-1808120 Fri, 12 May 2017 22:51:00 +0000 Aida 1808120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dark one on you, not sold on the bust fit for the patterned one though the color and hem are pretty. From the stock photo I feel like the other floral you showed might work better for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses---to-keep#post-1808114 Fri, 12 May 2017 22:09:07 +0000 Anonymous 1808114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A shift dress is a straighter cut dress without a defined waist. I'm including the finds for the two I got this year, just as an example of the style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses---to-keep#post-1808111 Fri, 12 May 2017 22:04:23 +0000 Elle 1808111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dark one on you best. &nbsp;I vote return the print.</p> <p>Have you tried a trapeze style? They are great in summer and seem like they would be good on your figure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses---to-keep#post-1808103 Fri, 12 May 2017 21:24:28 +0000 Karin L H 1808103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for your input! I'll be keeping the darker one but am not sure of the print. I really like the colours and the print but I think the cut is more maternity-y than the dark one, which makes me question it. The place I've ordered from has another one in print, also maternity but maybe not as visibly so? </p> <p>delurked and mirjana, I'm not totally sure what a shift dress is (I'm Swedish so not completely familiar with all terminology ), and with the help of google I get different results, some more fitted and others more loose. The loose style I can definitely see working for me but not the fitted ones! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses---to-keep#post-1807991 Fri, 12 May 2017 14:38:23 +0000 Mirjana 1807991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know that's difficult to find right dress so to my mind first, the black one is better but the second one is great print but it accentuates the tummy. My suggestion is to try the other style maybe shirt dress or shift dress or any unstructured dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses---to-keep#post-1807975 Fri, 12 May 2017 14:02:19 +0000 Anonymous 1807975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am conflicted. It's not that these are bad, and I don't think they read maternity dress, but I've liked some other shapes on you better. However, I totally get this style of dress is easy on and cool. Also, how do shift dresses work for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses---to-keep#post-1807970 Fri, 12 May 2017 13:48:45 +0000 Elizabeth P 1807970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both.&nbsp; They don't look maternity at all... very clever idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses---to-keep#post-1807969 Fri, 12 May 2017 13:46:37 +0000 Sara L. 1807969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both.&nbsp; I like the pattern on the second one - I think it's more summery.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses---to-keep#post-1807956 Fri, 12 May 2017 13:19:25 +0000 Bijou 1807956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both dresses on you too. Because they are empire line, I would not have guessed that they were maternity dresses. The lines of the first dress are most flattering, but I really like how the blue dress brings out the colour of your eyes. If you keep only one, I would keep the black dress.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses---to-keep#post-1807948 Fri, 12 May 2017 12:54:02 +0000 Anonymous 1807948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both dresses too, but like the first one best. The floral does look a bit more like a maternity dress, but I'm not sure why. If you like it and can use it, keep. It is a lovely dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses---to-keep#post-1807935 Fri, 12 May 2017 12:18:04 +0000 Anonymous 1807935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both!

I'd vote yes for the black and no for the blue dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses---to-keep#post-1807917 Fri, 12 May 2017 11:40:52 +0000 Karin L H 1807917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've ordered some summer dresses online, these are the two I'm thinking of keeping, but would love to hear your thoughts first! </p> <p>(They are actually both maternity dresses, but with my tummy I find that I'm drawn to these styles, as long as they look ok on, but maybe other styles would be better?)</p> <p>#1 navy casual dress, just for easy summer days<br /> #2 from side<br /> #3 close up of cute golden buttons<br /> #4 printed dress<br /> #5 from side</p> <p>As always I appreciate your honest opinions! Do the maternity styles accentuate the tummy too much?</p> <p>(Boyfriend is away so not the best pics, sorry!) </p>
