And definitely not TOO over-the-top bombshell, with the ruching and the not-too-tapered/clingy skirt. Sexy, but elegant. Hope that's got you convinced, by now, with all the yays! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-knockout-dress-has-arrivedbut-it-needs-alterations#post-789571 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 03:48:33 +0000 cciele 789571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just to reiterate -- YES! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-knockout-dress-has-arrivedbut-it-needs-alterations#post-789541 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 03:22:40 +0000 unfrumped 789541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yeah! Lookin' good.</p> <p>I think this is a great example of the power of some simple alterations to achieve your vision! It's just really asking a lot for a dress to fit perfectly everywhere and so it's easy to try on lots and come away thinking there's not a dress out there that does what you expect from a knockout dress. You can bet the celebrities are on speed-dial with their seamstresses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-knockout-dress-has-arrivedbut-it-needs-alterations#post-789470 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 02:00:40 +0000 Jaime 789470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Total knockout! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-knockout-dress-has-arrivedbut-it-needs-alterations#post-789422 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 00:59:31 +0000 Janet 789422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely, keep! I had a feeling this dress was going to be smashing on you. I love love love that it's blue and not black too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-knockout-dress-has-arrivedbut-it-needs-alterations#post-789407 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 00:44:39 +0000 Carole 789407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning!

Period. 789356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks gorgeous! Dark colors are always hard to see details on, but it looks great from what I can see. </p> <p>The significance of the alteration has me a little worried. Taking a dress apart at that level is pretty challenging. However, if you have a seamstress you know is amazing and she feels confident that she can do it, then I'm perfectly happy to throw caution to the wind (by proxy) and say I'm totally in love with that dress on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-knockout-dress-has-arrivedbut-it-needs-alterations#post-789322 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 23:14:24 +0000 Amy 789322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*wolf-whistle*</p> <p>Stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-knockout-dress-has-arrivedbut-it-needs-alterations#post-789310 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 22:59:53 +0000 morethanbeige 789310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally KEEP you gorgeous thing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-knockout-dress-has-arrivedbut-it-needs-alterations#post-789301 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 22:46:07 +0000 Raisin 789301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!

I love it, but it's little long in the bodice. (I think modgrl very correctly predicted this might be a problem with Nicole Miller.) My seamstress says she can take up the bodice and reattach the sleeves for about $50. I got the dress for a good sale price, so this doesn't bother me too much...plus she's a very talented seamstress and I totally trust her to fix it. </p> <p>I feel VERY sexy in the dress....which was kind of the point! It's very body-con (especially in the bum area), but the allover ruching makes it feel a little less overtly bootylicious. Still....I'm not sure if it's flattering, or a little too form-fitting. Opinions? (DH loves it btw)</p> <p>#1-2 - Front view with me hitching up the bodice<br /> #3 - Side view (featuring bum-hugging fit)<br /> #4 - Front view with ill-fitting (long) bodice </p>
