EF dresses already, so I know what the fabric will be&nbsp; like, and how they typically fit me.&nbsp; Of course they're all a bit different, but I'm not too worried about the fit.&nbsp; At least, it's worth gambling on.</p> <p>Janet, you're just glad they have no duty on them ;-)</p> <p>Suz, this one must be made in the US, so covered under free trade.&nbsp; I've found this this case with a few EF items... unfortunately not all!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-for-me#post-1658955 Wed, 11 May 2016 20:21:03 +0000 AviaMariah 1658955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it buy agree with Ummlila that EF dresses can be a bit disappointing. &nbsp;At least that's been my experience. &nbsp;But obviously not for everyone. &nbsp;I don't think this looks too preppy. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-for-me#post-1658949 Wed, 11 May 2016 20:18:02 +0000 jill58 1658949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another enabler here. This looks like a perfect summer dress. Very simple and therefore versatile. I vote yes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-for-me#post-1658944 Wed, 11 May 2016 20:13:20 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1658944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ummmm.....it's Eileen Fisher....do you really need to ask me??? :)</p> <p>In all seriousness, I can see this working brilliantly for you. The color will be spectacular with your lovely complexion and fab hair; EF's jersey drapes and moves so beautifully so it will be incredibly comfortable; the length looks good - not too short and not too long; can be dressed up or down - with metallic heels and a chunky cuff and dressy clutch for summer date night or with sporty sneaks and denim jacket for daytime running around.</p> <p>I don't see it as preppy myself - if it had a breast pocket or piping detail, that would be preppy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-for-me#post-1658924 Wed, 11 May 2016 19:51:20 +0000 Anonymous 1658924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both shape and colour are great! I also like your thinking about the collar. I don't see it as overly preppy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-for-me#post-1658922 Wed, 11 May 2016 19:47:22 +0000 Suz 1658922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's preppy for sure, but in a good way. I think it could work for you!&nbsp;</p> <p>Why no duties? Is there something I need to know today? I have credits at Nordstrom.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-for-me#post-1658919 Wed, 11 May 2016 19:45:41 +0000 carter 1658919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color's fantastic! I totally agree with your thinking about the collar for Summer weather. It's so nice not to feel the need to wear a necklace when it's sweltering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-for-me#post-1658915 Wed, 11 May 2016 19:42:18 +0000 Anonymous 1658915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great - beautiful colour for you too. My only concern would be having the jersey heavy enough - i.e not showing lumps and bumps. But's that's my own fear - you many not have any of those &nbsp;Jersey dresses scare the crap out of me. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-for-me#post-1658897 Wed, 11 May 2016 19:11:52 +0000 El Cee 1658897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing Janet… the color is gorgeous and I can see this style working for you (with both body type and lifestyle). It looks very versatile and I definitely think it is worth a try.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-for-me#post-1658894 Wed, 11 May 2016 19:09:38 +0000 Ledonna N. 1658894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you can already envision her with so many things already. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-for-me#post-1658890 Wed, 11 May 2016 19:07:53 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1658890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a perfect color for you. EF dresses often turn out to be quite shapeless in real life, despite how they look on models, so I wouldn't get too excited before trying it on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-for-me#post-1658887 Wed, 11 May 2016 18:58:49 +0000 Janet 1658887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not to enable or anything, but I can really see this working for you. Looks like a great fit for your body type and style, and I love that color too. It's surprisingly hard to find, outside of swimwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-for-me#post-1658884 Wed, 11 May 2016 18:54:35 +0000 Elizabeth P 1658884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have ONE thing on my "wish list" for the summer, and that is a turquoise top or dress.&nbsp; It's a colour I'd like just a bit more of in my life.&nbsp; (Disclaimer: this does not mean I'm not going to buy anything else, heavens no... it just means it's something I actually identified all by myself)</p> <p>I came across this earlier today.&nbsp; I love the colour, love the cut of sleeves, I know I'll love the fabric.&nbsp; There is also no duties on it :)&nbsp; So my question... does the collar make it read a bit preppy for my style?&nbsp; <br />In some ways I like that there is detail at the neck, so no "pressure" to add anything, which is nice in the summer.&nbsp; I can accessorize with bracelets if I want.&nbsp; </p> <p>I can see this going to work, the grocery store, the beach.&nbsp; I can see it with sneakers as well as dressier shoes.&nbsp; I can see it alone, and with various toppers I already have.</p> <p>Thoughts? </p>
