As someone with similar areas of self-consciousness, I was on the fence about the dress. Objectively I could see it looked great, but I could also understand your hesitation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fuzzi-dress-again#post-1839580 Fri, 25 Aug 2017 15:23:01 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1839580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so glad you kept this dress! &nbsp; For what it's worth, I thought you looked great in it, even before you stretched it. &nbsp; I hope we'll get to see it soon, in a WIW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fuzzi-dress-again#post-1839455 Fri, 25 Aug 2017 01:12:15 +0000 krissy751 1839455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to know you found a way around it.

I have a knit dress I never wear anymore because I find it slightly too clingy. I will try stretching it out. <b>Lyn67</b>--smart with the pillow trick!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fuzzi-dress-again#post-1839162 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 10:55:59 +0000 lyn67 1839162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad it worked out, and you can repeat stretching out with pillows- only on the hips/thighs area (for keeping the tappered hem:-)). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fuzzi-dress-again#post-1839138 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 09:08:56 +0000 Style Fan 1839138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been away so I missed all the excitement of the Fuzzi dress.&nbsp; I just looked at the pictures and all I can say is WOW.&nbsp; I am very sensitive about my hips so I get it but that dress looks so you and is gorgeous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fuzzi-dress-again#post-1838657 Tue, 22 Aug 2017 18:15:39 +0000 tulle 1838657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I missed the original pics somehow, but just looked them up and wow, do you ever look sexy in that dress! I'm glad you're keeping it--you ARE keeping it, right?&nbsp; Dresses made of knitted fabric (and that netted tulle functions like a knit) often do ride up, but a discreet tug or smoothing now &amp; then shouldn't be too distracting.&nbsp; The little lead weights made for draperies might help if you stitched them inside the hem at the side seams. I always stretch my narrow dresses, too.&nbsp; I put my arms inside from the hem up and gently open them wide before putting the dresses on.&nbsp; Seems to help. Wearing them around the house, sitting down and striding can be a good rehearsal, too.&nbsp; Good luck with it; I love it on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fuzzi-dress-again#post-1838616 Tue, 22 Aug 2017 14:37:48 +0000 Lisa 1838616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neat trick! &nbsp;And a lovely dress too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fuzzi-dress-again#post-1838563 Tue, 22 Aug 2017 11:45:16 +0000 Eliza 1838563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fingers crossed, Janet. That dress is beautiful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fuzzi-dress-again#post-1838555 Tue, 22 Aug 2017 10:52:59 +0000 Staysfit 1838555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad you're keeping this dress. The pattern looked stunning on you, and I didn't really notice the fit issue, but the riding up would make me nuts. I have a fuzzi dress with two layers, the outer layer is tulle, and the inner layer, I'm not sure. It's very fitted like this. I think the bottom part separates from the top which rides up and leaves the bottom layer exposed, but it's only a rim of around 1.5-2 inches, and I like the effect for the particular dress in question. Honestly, I don't wear it anywhere that I do much walking around, so it isn't too much of a problem for me. How do you plan to wear your dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fuzzi-dress-again#post-1838552 Tue, 22 Aug 2017 10:42:24 +0000 gryffin 1838552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also just chiming in to say I think you look georgeous in this dress. We sometimes focus on the parts and not the whole. You are beautiful as is your figure and the dress shows that off. We all have our zones of sensitivity and can get lost in the trees and not see how beautiful the forest is. Take a lesson from the eclipse - focus on the zone of totality!! Glad you are still considering it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fuzzi-dress-again#post-1838485 Tue, 22 Aug 2017 01:37:40 +0000 Aquamarine 1838485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope it works out for you and keeps relaxing. The dress is so you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fuzzi-dress-again#post-1838441 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 23:22:24 +0000 Brooklyn 1838441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's great! If that worked, chances are that it will stretch a little more with wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fuzzi-dress-again#post-1838385 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 20:32:40 +0000 Angie 1838385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*smiling*</p> <p>Glad t hasn't gone back yet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fuzzi-dress-again#post-1838360 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 19:04:26 +0000 Jenava 1838360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My prediction is that a slip would bunch up underneath. &nbsp;You could have a partial lining tacked in, maybe, to give it more weight, but if you're happy with it as it that's the simplest. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fuzzi-dress-again#post-1838351 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 18:15:14 +0000 Jane 1838351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done for giving it a try. It is a lovely dress and I think it looks super on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fuzzi-dress-again#post-1838349 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 18:11:23 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1838349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's good news! I wouldn't have thought of that solution. The dress did look gorgeous on you. It will be great if you get it to a point where you are comfortable wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fuzzi-dress-again#post-1838348 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 18:10:05 +0000 karen13 1838348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!

The dress fabric is very lightweight so there is very little weight to it to encourage it to *hang*, if you know what I mean. I'll try it though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fuzzi-dress-again#post-1838325 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 16:43:17 +0000 Anonymous 1838325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good. I like Rachylou's ideas. I use a slippery slip ( cheap thing from Target) with my sweater dresses so they will not cling or ride up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fuzzi-dress-again#post-1838314 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 15:40:40 +0000 rachylou 1838314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that's good news, because I really like this dress for you. </p> <p>Another thought... do you have a real, full length slip? Not shapewear, a real slip... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fuzzi-dress-again#post-1838304 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 14:40:39 +0000 Sara L. 1838304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad it's working better. &nbsp;I thought the dress looked good on you but it also showed me how different people can see different things based on our own personal figure issues. &nbsp;I tend to have a apple belly that I'm self-conscious of so I looked at the profile pic and thought "nice, flat stomach" and didn't really notice the hip issue. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fuzzi-dress-again#post-1838292 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 13:54:38 +0000 Janet 1838292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you sick of hearing about this dress yet? </p> <p>I may have solved the problem! Or, both problems, as it happens. My main problem with the dress is that it started hiking up my legs as soon as I would take even a few steps. The second is that it seemed to cling to my hips and thighs a bit excessively. </p> <p>Well, yesterday while I worked around the house, I decided to *gently* stretch the bottom of the dress around the back of a small upholstered chair, to see if it would add a little more "give" to the stretchy underlayer of the mesh dress. Well, it worked! When I tried it on again last night, it still shifted upwards when I walked, but not nearly as much as it did before. It also feels and looks less clingy on my legs. The shape is slightly less tapered at the bottom than it was before -- just enough that I don't feel quite so much like it emphasizes my saddlebags. </p> <p>No pics yet, but I'm feeling better about it. Will definitely share with hubs when he returns home! </p> <p>Thanks again for the encouragement to look more carefully at it. If I'd just stuffed it in my returns bag, I wouldn't have thought to try the stretching tactic. </p>
