I have an event tomorrow night that I may wear it to. I’m so excited! </p> <p>I haven’t altered it yet but I’m going to use fashion tape. I will alter it eventually as I hate dealing with fashion tape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-hunt-for-spring-midis/page/2#post-2018333 Sat, 06 Apr 2019 23:08:18 +0000 smittie 2018333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous Madewell dress.

I used to way over-shop in proportion to my income and expenses, and it took a long time, and a lot of digging out of the debt pit, to break the habit. So when I part with my money, I need things to LAST!!<br /> Sorry to hijack thread with clothing frustrations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-hunt-for-spring-midis/page/2#post-2017444 Tue, 02 Apr 2019 20:47:47 +0000 kellygirl 2017444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love everything but especially the Madewell dress. SO fab on you. Great spring refresh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-hunt-for-spring-midis/page/2#post-2017443 Tue, 02 Apr 2019 20:35:40 +0000 ophelia 2017443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suntiger, the heat is another aggravation with camis because I live in (north) Florida. They're fine from December to March, but then, agony.<br /> Sadly all my sports bras have worn out and I have yet to replace them. I just use older regular bras. Not ideal for support, I know!<br /> I do have this three-pack of tube top things my mom got me years ago ("as seen on TV" deal), but two of them are lace, which while pretty, don't help at work, and one is some sort of stone-age type of polyester, thick and scratchy, that causes unbearable between-boob sweat. So they don't get much use.<br /> I may have to break my shopping fast and spring for a demi-cami.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-hunt-for-spring-midis/page/2#post-2017441 Tue, 02 Apr 2019 20:32:44 +0000 Christina F. 2017441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ophelia - those camis are amazing. Mine has held up well for about 2 years of use. I have that color but I want a darker one too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-hunt-for-spring-midis/page/2#post-2017434 Tue, 02 Apr 2019 20:11:52 +0000 Anonymous 2017434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ophelia sports bras and tube tops work too when its too hot for a full cami! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-hunt-for-spring-midis/page/2#post-2017433 Tue, 02 Apr 2019 20:05:28 +0000 ophelia 2017433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christina, whoa, those demi camis are amazing! And they have straps thick enough to cover bra straps! I haven't bought any clothing for at least six months but these may just do me in. I'm definitely in the no-cleavage camp. I noticed they say "no-pill modal" too!<br /> But yes, "fussy" is exactly the word I was looking for. No more fussy clothes for me, I hope! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-hunt-for-spring-midis/page/2#post-2017428 Tue, 02 Apr 2019 19:28:25 +0000 Christina F. 2017428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div><b>Sara</b>, yeah, if I love the dress, it may be worth adding the snap. I may wear a cami anyway.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>ophelia</b>, I hear you - our clothes should not be so fussy! I will put up with it this case because the dress makes me soooo happy, and because the fixes are relatively simple. I actually would use a demi cami, like the one in this Find (not this color though). That solves the bunching problem. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I will add that I don't think the design is flawed per se, except for those who don't like a deep vee; whether I want to show that much cleavage will depend on where I'm wearing it. People's comfort levels vary on that topic!&nbsp; I'm just smaller on top than on the bottom, so there's more gapping than an hourglass figure might have, and it's not uncommon for me to have to alter the top of a dress because I'm pear shaped, and short-waisted to boot. ETA: That said, I agree that it would be better if a wrap style top or dress came with the two sides sewn together (unless it's a true wrap, which this is not). <br /></div></p> <p> <div><b>Angie </b>- I happened to be wearing&nbsp; a different combat boots when I tried it on. Perfect 90's synergy.<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-hunt-for-spring-midis#post-2017423 Tue, 02 Apr 2019 19:19:25 +0000 Angie 2017423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER Madewell dress. Wear with Born combat boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-hunt-for-spring-midis#post-2017422 Tue, 02 Apr 2019 19:17:49 +0000 ophelia 2017422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am dismayed by the return of the too deep v-neck, and that would be a deal-beaker for me. I suppose retailers aren't selling enough camis, hence the return of the too deep v-neck. I lived through the last too deep v phase and got tired of having to wear camis under everything. They bunch at my waist adding an odd roll, the color was always a challenge to match, and the fabric was often contradicting the top or dress. Nor am I willing to take the time and money to tailor a flaw in design. I'll be sitting this one out, which is fine since I have decided to shop minimally.<br /> That's my own perspective. Other people however enjoy the cami look and/or don't mind alterations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-hunt-for-spring-midis#post-2017419 Tue, 02 Apr 2019 19:14:41 +0000 Sara L. 2017419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they all look good on you.&nbsp; You hit the shopping jackpot!&nbsp; On the Madewell dress, I usually wear a cami under that sort of neckline because it's less fussy to wear.&nbsp; However, I've also used fashion tape.&nbsp; A snap sounds like a good solution since you won't have to fuss with fashion tape every time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-hunt-for-spring-midis#post-2017416 Tue, 02 Apr 2019 19:09:53 +0000 Christina F. 2017416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks, nemosmom. I can definitely rig it temporarily with fashion tape. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Missvee and suntiger - I LOVE it. The happiness factor is super high, as long as I can resolve the neckline, but that seems trivial.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-hunt-for-spring-midis#post-2017398 Tue, 02 Apr 2019 17:57:38 +0000 missvee 2017398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Madewell dress is a great colour for you and a very flattering fit. A definite keeper. Nemosmom has given you good advice about dealing with the neckline. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-hunt-for-spring-midis#post-2017391 Tue, 02 Apr 2019 17:39:40 +0000 nemosmom 2017391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Snaps are a quick and easy solution for a V that's too low. If you have toupee tape or fabric tape, (possibly a safety pin, depending on fabric), you can stick it for a temporary fix to see if a snap will put the V where you want it to be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-hunt-for-spring-midis#post-2017389 Tue, 02 Apr 2019 17:37:55 +0000 Anonymous 2017389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!

I just bought the same Loft skirt today; we can be skirt twins. I also have the BR top, but in white and pink. </p> <p>The Boden dress also looks amazing on you! Now you just need the weather to warm up so you can enjoy wearing them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-hunt-for-spring-midis#post-2017236 Mon, 01 Apr 2019 19:00:12 +0000 Christina F. 2017236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, lyn, Preppy pear and Angie! I can't wait for it to be warm enough to wear either - we have had a few days of relative warmth, but the weather backslid to freezing today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-hunt-for-spring-midis#post-2017149 Mon, 01 Apr 2019 13:36:20 +0000 Angie 2017149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FABULOUS.

I kept expecting things not to work out...</p> <p>Taylor, that’s true, and somrthing to be careful about. </p> <p>Jessikams, I agree. For me, it’s especially hard to find tops that go with skirts, which this one does. </p> <p>Suntiger, I will. I have hope since it’s boden. </p> <p>AndiB, yes the Boden Ponte is wonderful. And the dress has sleeves. Very comfortable. I’m glad you’ve had luck too!</p> <p>Nemosmom, on the other hand white may be more versatile for the same reasons the white sneakers are. I probably can’t justify having FIVE of those tops though. :(</p> <p>Thanks shevia, RainB, kkards and Becky! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-hunt-for-spring-midis#post-2016876 Sun, 31 Mar 2019 13:55:03 +0000 nemosmom 2016876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh I love both on you! And super-cute with your white sneaks! The BP top in kelly green would also work with the polka dot skirt, and maybe over the dress to make it look like separates.... just sayin'. </p>
