I can definitely see you in it. Good luck with the fabric -- some rayons feel quite nice, but I know what you mean about the F21 variety. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-2#post-1116919 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 03:09:35 +0000 catgirl 1116919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, that's my hope too.&nbsp; At this price it better not be F21 quality rayon!&nbsp; Will keep you all posted... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-2#post-1116917 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 03:08:48 +0000 Susie 1116917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I like everything about it. I wore a dress with an exposed zipper today so I hope it's still current! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-2#post-1116915 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 03:07:44 +0000 rae 1116915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! If the waist print hits in the right spot, I think it's leg lengthening.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hm, hopefully it's a knit rayon and not lightweight, summer woven rayon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-2#post-1116875 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 02:27:43 +0000 viva 1116875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! I think it might have&nbsp; been sitting in my shopping cart at one time or another ... it hits all the right notes for me: shift, pattern, length. But I wonder if it's right for this time of year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-2#post-1116848 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 01:25:23 +0000 Mia 1116848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting question re the rayon. &nbsp;</p> <p>I like that it is more comfortable to wear than polyester but there seems to be huge quality differences in "hand" and wearability. &nbsp;I splurged on a sale priced designer brand&nbsp;top that is hefty and beautifully lustrous and another recent buy (not as pricey but not inexpensive) is pilling after a few wearings and the fabric is almost see through. &nbsp;It also "caught" although the retailer sent it out for repairs which was nice.&nbsp;</p> <p>Please let us know how the dress is when you receive it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-2#post-1116801 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 00:37:03 +0000 Kristin L 1116801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's look great on you! And it's definitely worth a try. If you didn't like zipper later on, could you layer something over it?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-2#post-1116784 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 00:17:22 +0000 Tanya 1116784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;I think the dress will work great with your style Una and definitely worth a try.&nbsp; I haven't read/heard anything about exposed zippers being on their way out.</p> <p>As for your rayon question, I honestly wish there was more rayon around, as opposed to polyester and other man-made fabrics!&nbsp; While it is not cotton or silk, it is&nbsp; still a natural fiber in a loose sense of the word and so&nbsp; much more pleasant than any of the non-natural alternatives.&nbsp; For me, it is flimsy summer wear in the same amount silk is flimsy summer wear. </p> <p>ETS: I believe that it is cheaper than silk and cotton, hence it's relative abundance, or overabundance of polyester.&nbsp; Rayon/modal/tencel etc. are all pretty much the same, and tend to be really soft. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-2#post-1116773 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 00:11:31 +0000 catgirl 1116773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is a question - why is everything rayon? And is rayon inherently flimsy summer wear? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-2#post-1116771 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 00:10:28 +0000 Mia 1116771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's got your name all over it. &nbsp;I love it and the exposed zipper. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-2#post-1116768 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 00:08:30 +0000 K. Period. 1116768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely worth a try! I'm hoping the answer is naaah on the zippers being on the way out. &nbsp;I asked Angie about that on my lace pencil skirt (same as hers) and she said it wasn't going to date.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-2#post-1116721 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 23:06:19 +0000 ironkurtin 1116721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Worth a try I'd think! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-2#post-1116717 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 23:01:22 +0000 catgirl 1116717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was hoping the band across the stomach would simulate waist definition but it could backfire! I think I will try and hope the shoulders work... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-2#post-1116715 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 22:58:13 +0000 Caro in Oz 1116715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it - the pattern really works for me (not a pattern person). With your RATE style Una I think exposed zippers will always work </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-2#post-1116714 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 22:56:57 +0000 deb 1116714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can definitely see it on you. Would the line of print across the stomach area bother you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-2#post-1116705 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 22:48:54 +0000 catgirl 1116705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What do you think? Is the exposed zipper on the way out? Per Angie's blog post, I am good with 3/4 sleeves as I am a sleeve-scruncher anyway, but I do need some coverage! Could this go with boots and shoes? It is the perfect length for me.</p> <p><a href="http://m.piperlime.gap.com/product.html?dn=pp970890002&#038;pdn=search" rel="nofollow">http://m.piperlime.gap.com/pro.....pdn=search</a> </p>
