But not because it doesn't fit you or doesn't have great colors. Am I allowed to say I really only like Missoni in small doses? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-missoni-tunicdress-keep-or-return/page/2#post-440015 Sat, 08 Oct 2011 16:06:15 +0000 LuAnn 440015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the same blue dress. I've styled mine w a denim jacket, black leather moto jacket and black cropped cardi to break up the shoulder line &amp; paired it w long necklaces. I love your yellow shoes. I've worn mine w denim wedges, black wedges, black booties w tights and riding boots. I definitely think this dress is more modern than the black and white one. We are in the same age bracket and body type. I'm probably a bit shorter.

Yay Yay Yay Yay Yay Yay Yay Yay Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-missoni-tunicdress-keep-or-return/page/2#post-423364 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 00:54:51 +0000 Isabel 423364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the neckline looking awkward. It look as if the area that is even to your underarms is very wide. It is as if the seam goes out further than the side of your body. The color and print is fabulous. You may be able to take it in a little under the arm and that may solve the problem.</p> <p>Did you want me to get *that* specific, Una. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-missoni-tunicdress-keep-or-return/page/2#post-423360 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 00:45:51 +0000 Aida 423360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, that could work with this dress. But I think, for $60, it should be more versatile than that PLUS I'd have to get it altered and, well, I know I'm too lazy to get that done. Especially since this would likely be my only sweater dress.</p> <p>Wouldn't a flared hem be good for shoulder balancing? I'm considering IT as my secondary type now; I definitely dress with hourglass in mind first and IT as an afterthought because I don't really mind a strong shoulder line and the difference isn't too big </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-missoni-tunicdress-keep-or-return/page/2#post-423353 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 00:25:19 +0000 catgirl 423353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it would work with a black sweater but it made me look really odd. Usually that neckline works for me, but not in a knit with no flare at the hem. *shudder* I would love it if you joined Team IT! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-missoni-tunicdress-keep-or-return/page/2#post-423336 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 23:52:46 +0000 Aida 423336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm afraid it's pretty unflattering to me too! After losing weight over this year, I think I'm officially an IT now and boy that neckline wasn't optimal! Plus I think if I get a "sweater dress" it should probably have, you know, sleeves I will post photos if I can muster up the energy after work tonight! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-missoni-tunicdress-keep-or-return/page/2#post-423333 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 23:50:10 +0000 catgirl 423333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, I tried on that dress - it was horribly unflattering on me, but it was so cute on the hanger.

From the options available to me (almost nothing) I picked up a tank sweater dress which I decided isn't very practical and is also a size too large, the heels which I'm on the fence about because I'd JUST decided no more HIGH high heels, 2 of the silk scarves which I'm absolutely keeping, several of the tumblers which my husband vetoed so all but 2 are going back, and a beautiful glass dish which is on my dining table My main goal was the tumblers and the silk scarves so I'm pleased with what I came away with.</p> <p>EDIT: Let me find you some links... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-missoni-tunicdress-keep-or-return/page/2#post-423323 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 23:35:53 +0000 catgirl 423323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please do!

Hmmmm... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-missoni-tunicdress-keep-or-return/page/2#post-423314 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 23:27:59 +0000 Aida 423314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm I'm just not crazy about that neckline on you; the one dress I was able to get from the Missoni release also has a neckline I didn't like on me so it will be going back. If you love it AND are willing to put a little extra work in to combat the neckline it's worth keeping, imo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-missoni-tunicdress-keep-or-return/page/2#post-423292 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 22:46:25 +0000 catgirl 423292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, Airin, you are so sweet! *blushing*</p> <p>I'm not sure this dress can be modified, as it's knit, or that I would pay any more to do it, (since it's a Target dress). I'm going to try a couple of options before I decide. I agree the neckline is a problem, but with the mod vibe maybe it can work. I've got some truly mod vintage boots crying to come out and play! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-missoni-tunicdress-keep-or-return/page/2#post-423275 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 21:51:46 +0000 Irene 423275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would it be crazy to change the neckline? I mean, take it to the taylor and see what can be done, if he/she can open the neck a bit or something. I would go for a boat neck, V-neck might be a bit too much given the shortness of the skirt. I love how the difficult colors pair perfectly with your skin-tone -believe me, I look horrible in yellow- and it would be a pity that you wouldn't keep it. </p> <p>In all honesty, I'd wear the dress just like that, no jeggings. I understand that you are in your 40s, but you have nice and toned legs. I think that 'modesty' is age-related partly because as we grow older, our bodies don't look as nice as they used to so we need to cover up, I don't think it has that much to do with 'sexiness'. As long as you feel comfortable showing your beautiful legs -which are more than fine-, I don't think it'd look indecent. Yesterday I saw one of my friends' mom, she's 58 and still wears skirts that hit quite above her knees. She's got incredible legs and the right to flaunt them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-missoni-tunicdress-keep-or-return/page/2#post-423266 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 21:35:04 +0000 D'Ellen 423266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How can you look at pic #2 and not keep this dress? You look totally adorable!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-missoni-tunicdress-keep-or-return/page/2#post-423216 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 20:45:55 +0000 Samar 423216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the idea that it would look great as a tunic top. That's how I'd wear it if I had it---but I love the colors on you, and the retro-mod look of the shape. I just think it's a little off, shape-wise, as a dress all on its own. But as a tunic---yes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-missoni-tunicdress-keep-or-return/page/2#post-423207 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 20:39:36 +0000 annagybe 423207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Jonesy. I like the blue one over the black and white one. If I had it I'd wear it with my white campus Frye's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-missoni-tunicdress-keep-or-return/page/2#post-423164 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 20:02:08 +0000 catgirl 423164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting, Sandy. I never think of color and seasons - another sign of fashion cluelessness, or perhaps that we have no seasons here, only winter and construction. I may have to start a new thread on this topic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-missoni-tunicdress-keep-or-return/page/2#post-423162 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 20:00:01 +0000 san 423162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it for spring/summer. The colors look great on you but to me they seem very springy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-missoni-tunicdress-keep-or-return/page/2#post-423149 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 19:45:53 +0000 Cilleena 423149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I think you totally pull off the first Missoni dress. It's kinda funky in an "Una-like" way. The colors are gorgeous on you and those yellow shoes are just perfect. I would love to see the ways you can style that cute dress. Yes, the neckline is a bit high, but with a long pendant and your hair up, I think it works. The second Missoni style dress is lovely and very flattering, but I love the first one. It's so YOU. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-missoni-tunicdress-keep-or-return/page/2#post-423143 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 19:21:37 +0000 Lori 423143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>K-E-E-P I-T!!!! I think it looks great on you, color, shape, etc. Don't give it up, you look amazing in those colors!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-missoni-tunicdress-keep-or-return/page/2#post-423118 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 18:18:31 +0000 catgirl 423118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Zap, it's terrible that the stores got cleaned out so fast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-missoni-tunicdress-keep-or-return/page/2#post-423095 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 17:52:45 +0000 Anonymous 423095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Una for your offer. I've resigned myself to not having any chevron patterned Missoni items:( I'm sending the skirt to Cciele.</p> <p>The more I see you on this dress, the more I think you can pull it off. It fits your style persona. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-missoni-tunicdress-keep-or-return/page/2#post-423054 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 16:48:01 +0000 Anonymous 423054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second dress is more figure flattering, but I actually prefer the spunk and deliberate boxiness of the first. I think you have the flair to make it look intentional and stylish.</p> <p>I vote keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-missoni-tunicdress-keep-or-return#post-423050 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 16:40:55 +0000 cobaltblue 423050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colors in the Missoni are KILLING me. I think you and your style can totally mesh with that dress, high neckline and all. I agree with a previous poster - I'd like to see a loooong necklace with the blue dress to break up the high neckline a bit. The dress in number 3 is flattering and nice and conventional, but I think the blue dress has way more potential to be edgy, RATE, and Una-worthy. You'd just have to work for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-missoni-tunicdress-keep-or-return#post-423036 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 16:22:07 +0000 chewyspaghetti 423036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote return- the JCP dress is much more flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/that-missoni-tunicdress-keep-or-return#post-423014 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 16:07:06 +0000 crwilson 423014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colors on you, and I do think that you could make it work. I have to be honest, though, I like the fake Missoni better. I know that the blue dress is supposed to be boxy, but maybe it's too stiff, or something, for it to work for my eye. Of course, it might also be the case that it has more swing and drape that's not being captured on film. </p>
