Very Claire Underwood. I think it fits you beautifully and is sophisticated and gorgeous. If also comfortable, it's a 10 to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-grey-wool-sheath#post-1536365 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 22:52:27 +0000 Anonymous 1536365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It fits you just the way it fits the model, and looks the same to me?</p> <p>I think it looks great but if I just didn't feel comfortable with it, I'd let if go and keep looking.</p> <p>It does look like it fits you very well and I'm thinking the grey will be beautiful with your hair color of the future.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-grey-wool-sheath#post-1536317 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 21:35:08 +0000 donnat 1536317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress does look fabulous on you. With that said, I am not crazy about how the rushing looks at the bust. I would not be able to get past it. I think there is a better dress out there for you. ... after all you did find a killer coral leather jacket... (the garment gods smile on you) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-grey-wool-sheath#post-1536296 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 21:01:47 +0000 Anonymous 1536296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! As Frannieb says, you rock a sheath. And this colour is excellent on you and will pair just beautifully with grey hair. My only hesitation might be how the ruching looks/works if you need to wear a jacket, but it sounds like you've tried it and it works? Plus you seem to have lots of gorgeous drapey sweaters, and I'm guessing it might work well with those. I'm in camp keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-grey-wool-sheath#post-1536250 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 18:19:12 +0000 Susie 1536250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't try to eliminate the folds...I think the ruching extending up on to the bust adds to the curve of it. It's beautiful, I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-grey-wool-sheath#post-1536186 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 15:51:04 +0000 frannieb 1536186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This dress looks stunning on you. When it is styled with your fab shoes which I always drool over and you are feeling better it will be killer. You were a sheath dress like no one business. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-grey-wool-sheath#post-1536180 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 15:25:50 +0000 Anonymous 1536180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I were long and lean like you, I would wear this sheath in a heartbeat. &nbsp;The ruching over the bust area looks way better on you than it does on the model. And even if you press/steam it, it will still be there, though it could soften a bit with a light touch of steam. &nbsp;I would not hesitate to keep it because you feel so good wearing it (and it passes the sit-down test) and it's a keeper<i> on</i> you. &nbsp;So many ways to style this one and could be a go-to. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-grey-wool-sheath#post-1536136 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 14:14:21 +0000 Elly 1536136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this on you-- I think the top is supposed to look that way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-grey-wool-sheath#post-1536130 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 14:11:09 +0000 Beth Ann 1536130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a glorious dress!&nbsp; I think the sizing is perfect.&nbsp; I'm noticing a huge amount of stretch in wovens these days, and I think they actually need a bit more ease to keep their structure, if that makes sense.&nbsp; </p> <p>Your photo angle (taken from slightly below) and the lighting are exaggerating the ruching on the bust, I think.&nbsp; I think it looks fine as is, and the placement is just as it is on the model.</p> <p>This is a great find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-grey-wool-sheath#post-1536121 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 14:02:25 +0000 Angie 1536121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer Stunning, and the right size.

The sizing looks good and the ruching looks fine to my eye. I like Suz's thought that the lighting may be exaggerating the folds a bit. Can you style it up and take a few pictures in natural light?</p> <p>Hope you're feeling better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-grey-wool-sheath#post-1536083 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 13:13:19 +0000 Elizabeth P 1536083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to say that I don't care for the way it fits in the bust... which is too bad, because everything else about it is wonderful.&nbsp; On the model it looks more subtle, on you it seems to make a bit of a "poof".&nbsp; Which draws my eye right off... not what I'd personally want in a dress.&nbsp; I think unfrumped nailed it... do you think you'd find yourself wanting to "explain" it?&nbsp; Or are you totally okay with it?&nbsp; That would be my deciding point.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-grey-wool-sheath#post-1536075 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 13:01:10 +0000 Joyce B 1536075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress fits you very nicely but you have to be comfortable with the ruching on the chest.<br /> Maybe it will look better from a different angle but I think it would bother me. Sometimes what draws your attention first is what you are going to like or dislike about a garment.<br /> The dress shows your beautiful figure but you have to decide if the ruching on the top is or is not for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-grey-wool-sheath#post-1536069 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 12:51:19 +0000 unfrumped 1536069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks better on you than the model!<br /> That fabrication is a HEWI for me.<br /> This may also be something that looks different IRL if it makes the ruching look even more of the design, which it clearly is.<br /> It may hinge just on whether you like or dislike that feature because otherwise it looks great for you. I have had or tried items with some interesting details that I just could not get my mind around, or felt I'd be mentally explaining--" but it's supposed to look that way"! This dress is not fully in that category because of its overall elegance, but need to see if there's a " bother factor".<br /> I agree with above posters- treat it as a design feature and work with it a bit to decide, since it ticks many boxes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-grey-wool-sheath#post-1536021 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 08:53:04 +0000 goldenpig 1536021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks like it fits well and that the "wrinkling" on the bust is intentional from the ruching. I'd love to see it styled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-grey-wool-sheath#post-1535987 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 04:06:31 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1535987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the fit looks perfect. I don't know of any way to change where the folds start. But steaming might make them softer looking. I'm guessing I wouldn't have thought twice about them without prompting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-grey-wool-sheath#post-1535935 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 02:49:39 +0000 Deborah 1535935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this dress on you! I think it's means to have the folds or ruching on the bust. Size looks good to me. This is the type of dress that can almost go anywhere. Keep it simple, or dress it up. And you look good, sorry to hear you haven't been well, I did you mention a hospital stay so trust all is well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-grey-wool-sheath#post-1535928 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 02:44:30 +0000 Suz 1535928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a stunning dress. I wonder if the lighting in the room there is not exaggerating the effect of that bustline ruching. Let's see it styled up and then we'll have a better idea. The fit looks excellent.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-grey-wool-sheath#post-1535920 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 02:34:24 +0000 Staysfit 1535920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I understand the question now! &nbsp; The dress is lined so the ruching is on the outside and there is an inner lining. &nbsp;You cannot even feel it when wearing it. &nbsp;It is super comfy. &nbsp;It's like wearing a cozy knit.&nbsp;</p> <p>I will try to take some pics with it styled if I'm up to it tomorrow. &nbsp;I can play around with some shoes too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-grey-wool-sheath#post-1535919 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 02:34:02 +0000 Vildy 1535919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It kind of reminds me of Max Mara does AllSaints. Not a bad thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-grey-wool-sheath#post-1535917 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 02:30:59 +0000 Brooklyn 1535917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks great on you. Lovely length and fit. Does the folding thing make it uncomfortable? From a looks point of view I don't think it's a problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-grey-wool-sheath#post-1535916 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 02:28:38 +0000 Staysfit 1535916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, color is darker like in the photo. &nbsp;It feels great to wear. &nbsp;The material has some stretch to it, so it isn't tight or binding. &nbsp;It easily passes the sit down test without riding up. &nbsp;It also looks very good with toppers. &nbsp;I have tried it with a variety of sweaters, and even the coral leather jacket which I also posted about today.</p> <p>T. Shannon, good thinking about torso length. I sometimes have the opposite problem believe it or not!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-grey-wool-sheath#post-1535915 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 02:27:39 +0000 Maneera 1535915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love anything and everything with ruching! This dress is so so gorgeous, I'm drooling for it!!!! </p> <p>However, I see the problem. I have 3 Ruched sheath dresses. For me, the ruching starts 'under' the bustline and extends all across the waistline. But I can see the ruching has started mid bust for you. </p> <p>In my opinion, it doesn't look odd at all. That IS the design, the ruching is what makes the dress special. I suggest you wear some heels, add a necklace, and click another picture (preferably the profile) so we can all see how it would actually look when it goes out of the dressing room. Again, I love this dress in a way words CANNOT express. It's beyond gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-grey-wool-sheath#post-1535913 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 02:19:14 +0000 Anonymous 1535913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see what you mean about the folds over the bust. It looks similar on the model but it would bother me. Otherwise the dress looks wonderful and is a nice length and fit. Is the color more like your photos or the model? Your photos show a darker grey on my screen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-grey-wool-sheath#post-1535908 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 02:15:06 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1535908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely dress but I see what you mean. The fit looks good so I don't think it's a sizing problem. It almost looks like the upper torso of the dress is too short on you. Mind you, when I look at the stock photo she has that same folding on the chest.</p> <p>ETA: how does it feel on? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-grey-wool-sheath#post-1535906 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 02:11:24 +0000 Staysfit 1535906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of the items I am looking for is a simple, but nicely detailed neutral color (grey or aubergine) wool sheath dress that I can dress up or down. &nbsp;I saw this dress at the NAS and on the very last day of the sale, I finally decided to purchase it. &nbsp;The only size left was a six, which was one size larger than what was recommended by the fit guide. &nbsp;It was very hard to photograph.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am most unsure of the ruching which seems to fall right across my chest in a funny way. &nbsp;Is there anything that can be done to improve that? &nbsp; Should I keep looking? </p> <p></p> <p>Post Disclaimer: &nbsp;Pics not styled and I really look awful because of a recent illness. &nbsp;I still think you can get an idea about the dress.</p>
