Wise choice to pass on this one </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress-this-would-probably-be-a-mistake-right#post-1156626 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 19:02:23 +0000 Missey 1156626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate to say it, but it looks like the short version of a robe my mother used to own.&nbsp; Don't spring for this one, there are much more fluid and chic relaxed knit dresses out there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress-this-would-probably-be-a-mistake-right#post-1156590 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 18:28:31 +0000 Gigi 1156590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the sweatshirt dress itself is cute and comfy (I would wear it), but I think the fit would have to be right on for it not to look frumpy. If it doesn't fit, you could sell it on eBay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress-this-would-probably-be-a-mistake-right#post-1156510 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 17:00:54 +0000 Julie 1156510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks risky to me too... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress-this-would-probably-be-a-mistake-right#post-1156441 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 15:45:42 +0000 Angie 1156441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the risk is too high because it's non-returnable.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress-this-would-probably-be-a-mistake-right#post-1156427 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 15:19:28 +0000 sarah 1156427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not so keen on this particular one, which isn't to say that you couldn't find one that works - I think it would need to be a bit more avant-garde/arty to make it work.

I think this would be SS for <b>her.</b>&nbsp;Not necessarily for me or you. But I share your concerns about bag-out -- for me it would be in the bum area. OTOH, for a loungewear capsule if you have a lot of $$$, maybe? I can see it as being super comfy, for sure.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress-this-would-probably-be-a-mistake-right#post-1156411 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 14:51:48 +0000 ramya 1156411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nancy, would you like to try an H&amp;M version of this first may be? Then it wouldn't be an expensive mistake. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress-this-would-probably-be-a-mistake-right#post-1156408 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 14:48:59 +0000 Vildy 1156408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On my monitor, it comes up beige just to the pinkish side, which is the one I search out. Good for folks who like to wear cooler colors. Lotta money, though, for a light colored sweatshirt. Wouldn't lots of companies make something like this that could also be returned? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress-this-would-probably-be-a-mistake-right#post-1156405 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 14:43:51 +0000 Suz 1156405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Plus, Nancy, this looks like a soul-sucking beige to me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress-this-would-probably-be-a-mistake-right#post-1156404 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 14:42:37 +0000 Vildy 1156404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it but cotton sags. Even thick cotton sweatpants will bag out somewhere. How would you know where exactly this dress would bag out, to judge how you'd feel about that? Not being able to try it on is a bummer. </p> <p>ETA: oh wait, I see it has 5% spandex. Well then, probably fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress-this-would-probably-be-a-mistake-right#post-1156399 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 14:35:42 +0000 nancylee 1156399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For some reason, I keep considering this sweatshirt dress…even though it's non-returnable and would probably be an expensive mistake. &nbsp;What is the general opinion on such dresses? &nbsp;Too casual and high frump potential? &nbsp;Or a comfy fun alternative?</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.lafayette148ny.com/store/-strse-12684/Soft-Spun-Cotton-Jersey/Detail">http://www.lafayette148ny.com/.....sey/Detail</a></p> <p>I've been so sporadic on YLF lately it feels like I'm losing my ability to discern good from not-so good! </p>
