I wish they would start taking online orders! I love your outfit - I meant to post on your WIW thread this morning. You are looking very trim and happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses-that-flatter-for-it-shapes#post-363145 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 17:00:59 +0000 chewyspaghetti 363145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have an H&amp;M near you? I'm not an IT, but I do have a strong shoulder line, and I just got a cute dress there. The details are hidden under the sweater, but it has pockets on the hips and bust (that don't add too much bulk), buttons up the front and it came with a belt. It has a military vibe to is, and is pinstriped gray on gray. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses-that-flatter-for-it-shapes#post-363133 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 16:51:25 +0000 catgirl 363133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy, good point - I do have a bit of body dysmorphia remaining... but I am certainly far from flat at 32D. For the price at 6pm it is worth a try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses-that-flatter-for-it-shapes#post-362871 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 03:12:55 +0000 Heather 362871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly is a knockout in that dress! And for $22.95! What a steal at 6pm.com. Una, that could totally be a three season piece for you! Think (color) tights and JCrew blazer and denim jackets and all your lovely boots........ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses-that-flatter-for-it-shapes#post-362851 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 02:31:44 +0000 kellygirl 362851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, Una, my 10 year old is bustier than me : ) I think it would work fine with a camisole. I never bother because I don't really need one. There is a V in the back as well but it's not so deep that it shows my bra strap so I would think a cami would work just fine.</p> <p>ETA: I hate looking at my (linebacker) back but this gives you an idea of what the rear of the dress looks like. It's different than this year's version of the Kamala. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses-that-flatter-for-it-shapes#post-362758 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 00:29:36 +0000 Jonesy 362758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kellygirl, what a gem of a gal! I think this dress would look great on you, Una. Are you *actually* busty these days, or do you just *feel* like you are busty :)? Maybe you disguise it really well in your WIW pics, but I never notice any sort of boobage at all (not that I'm zeroing in or anything...). Okay, I'll shut up now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses-that-flatter-for-it-shapes#post-362727 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 22:43:49 +0000 catgirl 362727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THANK YOU, Kelly! You look fantastic in that dress , and I could put my denim jacket to use... I'm pretty sure I am bustier than you - how do you think it would work with a cami? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses-that-flatter-for-it-shapes#post-362724 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 22:28:03 +0000 kellygirl 362724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I threw it on and had DD take a few snaps. Easy peasy summer dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses-that-flatter-for-it-shapes#post-362718 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 22:09:21 +0000 kellygirl 362718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever done a WIW in that dress. It's just basic black but I wore it a lot last summer. Let me see what I can do.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses-that-flatter-for-it-shapes#post-362717 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 22:07:33 +0000 catgirl 362717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, Kelly, do you have a pic? I look at your outfits a lot for ideas! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses-that-flatter-for-it-shapes#post-362715 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 22:06:23 +0000 catgirl 362715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, are you trying to kill me with the gorgeousness of that dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses-that-flatter-for-it-shapes#post-362712 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 21:55:27 +0000 kellygirl 362712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you ever try the Patgonia Kamala dress in the YLF store? I see that 6pm has them for $20 and $2.95 shipping. It is a bit low cut in the front but nothing that a camisole wouldn't cover. It's a substantial knit--not as clingy as the Target knits. It's perfect for a casual day. (I have it in medium.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses-that-flatter-for-it-shapes#post-362692 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 21:06:34 +0000 Di 362692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think <a href="http://www.athleta.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.athleta.com</a> or <a href="http://www.titlenine.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.titlenine.com</a> might have a-line halters that aren't backless/tied. In fact, I bought this one a couple of years ago: <a href="http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=46838&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=683879" rel="nofollow">http://athleta.gap.com/browse/.....pid=683879</a> It's not quite a halter, but the straps do cut in more than normal straps (does that make sense outside my head?). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses-that-flatter-for-it-shapes#post-362691 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 21:02:40 +0000 Mo 362691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now, I know this isn't exactly budget friendly, BUT, it's a great example of a halter that does not tie in the back! And it's awesome. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/laundry-SHELLI-Womens-Paisley-Beaded/dp/B004VQFB9Y/ref=sr_1_84?s=apparel&#038;qlEnable=1&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1307480493&#038;sr=1-84" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/laundry-.....38;sr=1-84</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses-that-flatter-for-it-shapes#post-362684 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 20:53:37 +0000 catgirl 362684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Girl X! Thanks. I forgot to add that boobs are a factor, so I do not do halter dresses unless they are modified to not tie behind the neck. A-line is good, but I have a hard time finding those in summery fabrics. I think I'm going to start sewing my own dresses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses-that-flatter-for-it-shapes#post-362681 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 20:44:52 +0000 Girl X 362681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A-line halter dresses! A multiway instead of a strapless bra and you should be good to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dresses-that-flatter-for-it-shapes#post-362648 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 20:11:15 +0000 catgirl 362648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Any suggestions? I am really wanting a couple of more casual summer dresses and haven't seen anything that fits the bill. With wide shoulders and no waist, it is difficult to find styles that flatter and work in a fuss-free way. </p> <p>TIA! </p>
