Crew and the red is a perfect color. I also liked one called Topiary, a minty sea foam green, but thought the red would be more useful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-elusive-houndstooth-dress-caper-solved/page/2#post-477318 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 09:53:27 +0000 MINI 477318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my!!!

An admirable quality. Wow :)</p> <p>I love the look with red flats! To my eye, this is the only way to go with this dress. Heels will take away from the look because the frock is very short. But the flats add panache and style. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-elusive-houndstooth-dress-caper-solved#post-473165 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 15:21:45 +0000 suzanne m 473165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look awesome in that dress, Super Sleuth! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-elusive-houndstooth-dress-caper-solved#post-473143 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 14:51:58 +0000 Anonymous 473143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are just adorable in that dress!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-elusive-houndstooth-dress-caper-solved#post-473122 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:51:40 +0000 kimlee 473122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your time and effort paid off - the dress looks amazing on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-elusive-houndstooth-dress-caper-solved#post-473115 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:26:29 +0000 Janet 473115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is quite the story of pursuit and persistence, and worth the effort!
