Indeed, the romper is nowhere near the awesomeness of the 'paper bag' --- and you have that already, so no regrets! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-romper---close-but-no-cigar#post-660671 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 05:51:52 +0000 catgirl 660671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd return too.</p> <p>I have a fabulous silk romper - sleeveless, elastic waist, good neckline, cuffed shorts. I never have occasion to wear it. If ever I part with it, I'll send it your way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-romper---close-but-no-cigar#post-660666 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 05:48:12 +0000 Deborah 660666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is gorgeous! $8.00.. no way! Im sorry this romper isn't working for you. I love the idea of this for you and I would keep looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-romper---close-but-no-cigar#post-660658 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 05:28:59 +0000 Kiwichik 660658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for the $8 paperbag dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-romper---close-but-no-cigar#post-660590 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 03:28:03 +0000 Kari 660590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I think there is a better romper out there - and in the meantime, I LOVE that dress that you already have. What a great olive color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-romper---close-but-no-cigar#post-660586 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 03:24:31 +0000 Beth Ann 660586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the paper bag dress! I'm with you -- I love the idea of the romper, but this one isn't fitting well. A well-fitting version (do you have a wonder woman like Shannon?) would work for your figure and your lifestyle. Don't give up the hunt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-romper---close-but-no-cigar#post-660345 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 21:25:26 +0000 texstyle 660345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The romper could be altered, but is it really worth it to you? Is the fabric great? Do you love the color, etc,? I think it really depends on how much you feel you want it. Seems like you are in doubt so I'd say to return it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-romper---close-but-no-cigar#post-660334 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 20:49:19 +0000 annagybe 660334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd just return it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-romper---close-but-no-cigar#post-660332 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 20:48:12 +0000 rae 660332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh, it's so cute, though! I bet it was made to be boobalicious and super low cut... I wish that wasn't so often the case. FWIW, it looks super cute with the straps shortened and could probably dress up or down. That cami from pic 4 could save an alteration as well... just sayin... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-romper---close-but-no-cigar#post-660329 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 20:41:01 +0000 Mo 660329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, another near miss. I really wanted this to work but it just hangs too low. Either I need to move my waist down 3 inches or take the shoulders up (pic 3). Better yet, I can just return it, save the $70 and wear my $8 'paper bag' dress in it's stead! (pic4)<br /> I know there will be a romper out there with my name on it somewhere, so the search is not over. This one would be fab on any of you taller YLFers. </p>
