The lacey light blue sandals will match the dress so fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-2#post-1813123 Tue, 06 Jun 2017 03:32:51 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1813123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you're keeping it. It's very pretty, and I like it on you. I think it will be gorgeous with the blue sandals, especially. The style and color work nicely with the dress. I agree with Angie that the other sandals are fine with it, too. I actually think the short sleeves have a little bit of visual weight that balances the hem. I could also envision the dress sleeveless. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-2#post-1813090 Tue, 06 Jun 2017 01:16:23 +0000 tulle 1813090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wanted to add that the pretty coral pink in the print of this dress is a warm touch, and a color that suits you well, I think.&nbsp; You might want to use a coral pink blush and/or lipstick when you wear this lovely dress and those soft blue sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-2#post-1812918 Mon, 05 Jun 2017 14:16:07 +0000 Angie 1812918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*happy dress dance*&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-2#post-1812903 Mon, 05 Jun 2017 13:05:32 +0000 Chris987 1812903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, thanks for all the compliments ladies! I think I'll go with the majority vote (and Angie's vote) and leave the sleeves alone, but my thinking about shortening them was exactly as you mentioned Janet. I will definitely&nbsp;make the alterations to the top.&nbsp; I realized while thinking about this dress that it's one of those "not worn too often" items, and that is perfectly ok, everyone's wardrobe has some of that. I do think it will look great with these new blue sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-2#post-1812873 Mon, 05 Jun 2017 10:09:07 +0000 Style Fan 1812873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty dress.&nbsp; The blue sandals would look great with the dress.&nbsp; So would the bronze.&nbsp; I don't have an opinion on the sleeves.&nbsp; I personally like longer sleeves.&nbsp; They accentuate your waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-2#post-1812860 Mon, 05 Jun 2017 07:11:40 +0000 Bijou 1812860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this dress on you - the colours are lovely. I really like the coral colour in the print which warms it up. I do think the top of the dress is a bit loose, so that is a change worth making. I really love the floaty skirt - perfect for a hot summer's day and can imagine with your blue sandals it looks fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-2#post-1812824 Mon, 05 Jun 2017 02:24:03 +0000 Jaime 1812824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Angie.

The colors of them dress suit you well. With the waist adjustment it will be perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-2#post-1812819 Mon, 05 Jun 2017 01:20:42 +0000 kerlyn 1812819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really pretty dress! &nbsp;I think the blue shoes would be perfect with it!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-2#post-1812725 Sun, 04 Jun 2017 17:38:31 +0000 rachylou 1812725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie says!

You are so clever to make the adjustments yourself. Both shoes look great, but my favorite is the blue one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-2#post-1812720 Sun, 04 Jun 2017 17:01:15 +0000 Mirjana 1812720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress as it is, no shortening the sleeves, both sandals are nice but I like the best blue one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-2#post-1812711 Sun, 04 Jun 2017 16:07:57 +0000 Janet 1812711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty dress. I actually like the idea of shortening the sleeves and angling them so they do not end at a horizontal line straight across the arm -- I personally find that more flattering on my short torso and big bust (my arms are not terribly slim either so I think the angled sleeve helps mitigate that). I love the idea of the blue sandals with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-2#post-1812708 Sun, 04 Jun 2017 15:54:12 +0000 Anonymous 1812708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this very much, and hope you can get the fit to work for you. Also agree with Angie on the sleeves. I have those same Ecco sandals, but realize they didn't appear in my pics. I think the blue ones would look great if you aren't feeling the others with the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-2#post-1812702 Sun, 04 Jun 2017 15:38:17 +0000 Angie 1812702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FABULOUS potential.&nbsp;</p> <p>Absolutely NO hacking to cap sleeves, Chris. This sleeve length is flattering and elegant.&nbsp;</p> <p>Alteration at the waist in a good idea.&nbsp;</p> <p>Both pairs of sandals will work. You have a great frock option here. And all you did was shop your closet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-2#post-1812695 Sun, 04 Jun 2017 15:00:37 +0000 Chris987 1812695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear fabbers,</p> <p>I would like to ask for your&nbsp;opinions on this dress. I bought it last summer and only wore it once, but I did get a compliment on it. I like it overall but there are some issues.</p> <p>The bodice is a little big and is bunching up at the waist, &nbsp;but I could easily fix that by taking in the shoulder seams a little. The sleeves seem a little long and would be prettier as a shorter "capped sleeve" length I think.</p> <p>Then there is the question of shoes. It works well with my blue suede sandals if I want to wear a bit of heel. For lower sandals I wore it with the bronze ones last year but they seem a little off...perhaps too much strappage on the foot or perhaps this sandal is just too casual. Maybe a slightly dressier sandal in white or silver...&nbsp; </p> <p>The print is entirely cool colors, not the warm tones I normally wear. </p> <p>What do you think? JFE? Worth a little bit of work? Not worth it? </p> <p>(pardon the lighting in the photo, light from the skylight was throwing things off.) </p> <p></p> <p>Thanks in advance for all inputs </p>
