Perhaps it looked better irl, but from what I can see from the photo, it was not remotely worth $120. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-buy-bargain-or-let-go#post-342540 Sun, 01 May 2011 13:11:14 +0000 Anonymous 342540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you made the right choice. I understand the appeal of the dress, but I think the high neckline and large print really did overemphasize the bust. I would have liked it better with a more open neckline. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-buy-bargain-or-let-go#post-342477 Sun, 01 May 2011 03:46:44 +0000 krishnidoux 342477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, you did well. It was a fantastic dress but at this price you must take the time to try it without the layers underneath and with bare legs if that is how you envision wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-buy-bargain-or-let-go#post-342474 Sun, 01 May 2011 03:43:16 +0000 Mo 342474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Groovy baby! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-buy-bargain-or-let-go#post-342453 Sun, 01 May 2011 02:57:44 +0000 MsMary 342453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I NEED to pay a visit to that boutique! What fun!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-buy-bargain-or-let-go#post-342452 Sun, 01 May 2011 02:54:56 +0000 Maya 342452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I passed. There were tons of other cute dresses by this designer. I figured one day I'd have enough money and find one that I could really feel confident buying. Unfortunately I could not find anything by this brand online. It's probably more widely available in Europe.</p> <p>This is the brand, in case you are wondering: <a href="http://www.timbargeot.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.timbargeot.net/</a></p> <p>I REALLY want the black and white striped blazer with fuchsia lining on the site. </p> <p><a href="http://www.timbargeot.net/popgirlrobe8.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.timbargeot.net/popgirlrobe8.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-buy-bargain-or-let-go#post-342376 Sun, 01 May 2011 01:18:02 +0000 bella 342376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute dress. I wish it were a bit cheaper. What was the verdict? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-buy-bargain-or-let-go#post-342353 Sun, 01 May 2011 00:23:01 +0000 Anonymous 342353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say pass, even for $75. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-buy-bargain-or-let-go#post-342291 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 22:03:09 +0000 Alecia 342291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you got it, Maya! It's incredible. I know it's expensive but I think you'd wear the heck out of that thing and you wouldn't regret the expense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-buy-bargain-or-let-go#post-342235 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 20:58:12 +0000 biscuitsmom 342235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes they will go down so its worth a try, alright! I really think you should get it if you can swing it financially....its better to have one great dress than 2 you dont like as well, and its a piece you can use for a few seasons, I think. Remember 'cost per wear' will bring the price down! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-buy-bargain-or-let-go#post-342227 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 20:25:10 +0000 MsMary 342227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would definitely ask whether he would let you have it for $75. Never hurts to ask!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-buy-bargain-or-let-go#post-342194 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 18:47:18 +0000 RoseandJoan 342194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the bust issue is nothing a pendant necklace will not fix. I love the flare of the skirt, the pleat detail and the contrast fabric on the sleeves. As it is cotton it may take some precision ironing, would that stop you from wearing the dress Maya? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-buy-bargain-or-let-go#post-342191 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 18:39:31 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 342191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the same concern as MNsara re the chest fit and emphasis. I think it may be a bit of an optical illusion resulting from the pattern. If you have doubts, take the brand/model/style number and search later. $120 could be an expensive impulse buy if it turns out you don't love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-buy-bargain-or-let-go#post-342174 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 18:09:35 +0000 MNsara 342174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never thought of the price bargaining -- we don't have flea markets around me -- but I'll wish you luck!</p> <p>If you have layers underneath, then that should make the difference </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-buy-bargain-or-let-go#post-342173 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 18:09:00 +0000 rosee 342173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>bargain. maybe take the seller's business card and have reference to him/her after if the dress starts to "haunt" you if you don't buy today. I like the dress -- it's slightly classic but a little quirky too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-buy-bargain-or-let-go#post-342169 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 18:03:43 +0000 Maya 342169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't remember the name now :(</p> <p>I'm going to go back in a few minutes anyway so I'll check. I'll probably let it go if I can't get it down to $75. There is always ebay.</p> <p>The bust emphasis is coming from both the angle and the fact that I'm wearing 2 layers underneath (no fitting rooms in the flea market). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-buy-bargain-or-let-go#post-342166 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 18:01:04 +0000 MNsara 342166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alright, now I can take a couple minutes more. . .$120 is a large amount for a spontaneous purchase. . .it fits you to a T, but in the photo it seems to emphasis your bust. That may just be the photo though, but I know that has sometimes been a consideration.</p> <p>Love those colors and I am always a fan of great quality - great quality feels so nice to wear.</p> <p>It has that designer ecletic quality that makes it rather timeless.</p> <p>Sorry, I'm no big help here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-buy-bargain-or-let-go#post-342165 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 17:57:29 +0000 MNsara 342165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya - What is the French designer? Can you Google it on your phone? I'm here for another 20 minutes if you want me to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-buy-bargain-or-let-go#post-342163 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 17:52:04 +0000 Maya 342163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just tried this on at the Brooklyn flea. I love it. It's cotton and sleeveless and adorable. But it's $120. It is imported from France from a French designer, and the guy only has 2 sizes left.</p> <p>If it were $75 I'd go for it, but $120 is crazy. It's so unique and such great quality though.</p> <p>What do I do?! </p>
