I found the original dress abroad </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprising-comments-on-these-dresses#post-1644782 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 05:13:23 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1644782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow--you look great! Love #1 and #2. I also like #3 on you; I just find the others stunning in their streamlined shapes on you. These photos show that you can wear the simple shift shape of #1 beautifully, just as you can wear styles that highlight your shape like #2 and #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprising-comments-on-these-dresses#post-1644704 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 23:19:15 +0000 Brooklyn 1644704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No 1 is smashing on you. You could layer it with opaque tights and boots for cooler weather. I think either ankle boots or tall boots work with that kind of dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprising-comments-on-these-dresses#post-1644686 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 22:46:10 +0000 rachylou 1644686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see why. You are super cute and lively in ALL these dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprising-comments-on-these-dresses#post-1644682 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 22:40:32 +0000 celia 1644682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the first dress looks wonderful on you.<br /> I see that #3 is not a favourite but I kinda like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprising-comments-on-these-dresses#post-1644660 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 21:42:35 +0000 mamacandoit 1644660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I'm amazed!&nbsp;</p> <p>ok, now my question is: is it possible to wear that dress in cooler weather? (can you tell I'm clueless about this type of dress lol)<br />Or is there a cool weather similar alternative? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprising-comments-on-these-dresses#post-1644649 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 21:16:50 +0000 Sal 1644649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is lovely and I agree, don't belt it. &nbsp;The pattern and neckline elevate the dress. &nbsp;Well done!!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprising-comments-on-these-dresses#post-1644607 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 19:44:23 +0000 Suz 1644607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first dress is lovely on you! Extremely flattering cut and print. Figure skimming, the neckline draws attention to your pretty smile, and it has a bit of sophistication.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprising-comments-on-these-dresses#post-1644582 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 18:59:59 +0000 harmonica 1644582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is definitely my favourite! Fab! And what Mochi and GP said. I'm an apple too and have found this kind of shape far more forgiving than empire shapes and most wrap styles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprising-comments-on-these-dresses#post-1644580 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 18:43:14 +0000 goldenpig 1644580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The navy dress looks fabulous on you! Love the color and the print and neckline. I think this one works much better to flatter your lovely shape because it's figure skimming. As an apple, I've found that empire waists like the one in #3 look much more maternity than straight shifts or sack dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprising-comments-on-these-dresses#post-1644562 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 18:03:31 +0000 Linda 1644562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the navy dress.&nbsp; It looks really good on you!&nbsp; I also like the 2nd one, but not as much.&nbsp; Something about the shape and color of the third&nbsp; make it my least favorite.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprising-comments-on-these-dresses#post-1644556 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 17:53:10 +0000 Anonymous 1644556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The navy dress is my favorite.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprising-comments-on-these-dresses#post-1644554 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 17:53:02 +0000 Maneera 1644554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all 3 of them. #1 is simply fab - very flattering on you....both the shape and the color+print. #3 is a lovely style too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprising-comments-on-these-dresses#post-1644553 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 17:51:39 +0000 rabbit 1644553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue one has nice structure in the neckline and sleeves and the pattern is great. &nbsp;Also the shape/pattern/color feel contemporary. &nbsp; It looks great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprising-comments-on-these-dresses#post-1644551 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 17:43:29 +0000 Anonymous 1644551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you've found the perfect dress for you (the blue one, I mean).&nbsp; Really pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprising-comments-on-these-dresses#post-1644543 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 17:26:16 +0000 BrieN 1644543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The navy looks great on you. &nbsp;I really like you in blue, the neckline is a bit lowered (an the little v gives you a little more lowering) while being modest, the yellow pattern on the top gives a bit of vertical "striping" without being stripes, and the sleeve length is great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprising-comments-on-these-dresses#post-1644541 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 17:21:56 +0000 El Cee 1644541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look absolutely stunning in that first dress. No wonder everyone was commenting.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprising-comments-on-these-dresses#post-1644534 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 17:13:20 +0000 Janet 1644534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed with Angie. That first dress looks terrific. And now that I see this, I also agree that your shape is not pear-ish.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprising-comments-on-these-dresses#post-1644530 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 17:09:40 +0000 Angie 1644530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another who likes the navy. Fabulous. And no - I don't think you are pear shaped.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprising-comments-on-these-dresses#post-1644526 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 17:04:39 +0000 Greenjeans 1644526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The navy looks smashing on you. &nbsp;It's your color and the cut is terrific, neat and shapely, but also comfortable looking. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprising-comments-on-these-dresses#post-1644520 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 16:54:12 +0000 Mochi 1644520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi. Before I saw the pic, I was getting an image in my head of something really baggy and sacklike. This is more streamlined than I had imagined, and the color and pattern add a certain neatness and polish to it. Plus it has the interesting detail towards the bottom. It also has a nice neckline for you. In other words, more cute than I'd expected! Plus you are making it cute!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprising-comments-on-these-dresses#post-1644516 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 16:45:47 +0000 mamacandoit 1644516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've only just started being active on here and what got me to do that is that&nbsp;I recently bought something completely shapeless (not sure why...i think it's bc it colour matched a jacket i bought at the same time). This is a first for me bc i usually prefer semi-fitted garments....i guess mainly bc i'm worried lack-of-shape will be very unflattering/maternity-ish on my shape.</p> <p>Anyway, to my complete shock, I received loads of compliments when I wore this dress. I once wore it with a belt (to add a bit of shape) and some people commented that it looked better without the belt.</p> <p>Here is the dress everyone commented on (1):</p> <p>I do like it - mainly bc i feel in love with the print but I really thought it made my look a bit dumpy!<br />Side view (2):</p> <p>This is one of my favourite dresses, Miss Ruby Tuesday pattern by 1Puddlelane, much more my usual style(3)</p> <p>And here's another dress I was told looks great but isn't my usual style, excuse the bizarre facial expression(4)</p> <p>I'd be grateful for any thoughts </p>
