I like the idea of the self belt being tied a bit higher. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-4#post-1571047 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 15:23:15 +0000 Alassë 1571047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3 best. The dress seems like it has possibilities for you... what about sewing a bit of black fabric across the neckline to raise it a bit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-4#post-1571005 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 13:55:37 +0000 shedev 1571005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color is really pretty on you. I like it better without the cardi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-4#post-1570977 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 13:06:32 +0000 Gail 1570977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it , the drape is nice and I think that it suits you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-4#post-1570968 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 12:43:56 +0000 lyn67 1570968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the dress on you, Anne, but with that drapey cowl and quirky straps think it doesn't really need a necklace, or is it just me, wearing no jewelery nowadays? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-4#post-1570903 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 06:01:46 +0000 Deborah 1570903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne I am not loving the neckline or the shoulder straps &nbsp;You said you can play around with them, do you want to show us how else it can work?)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-4#post-1570869 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 03:26:36 +0000 Beth Ann 1570869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's lovely on you, Anne!&nbsp; You are fairly petite, so you might be able to find a "camisole" in the girls section that would work as a "second base" cami.&nbsp; And no, I'm not saying you have a pre-teen figure!&nbsp; I'd suggest wearing it over your usual bra.</p> <p>With the others, I like the idea of wider belting.&nbsp; It looks terrific with the sandals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-4#post-1570865 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 03:18:16 +0000 Nannabella 1570865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn took the words out of my mouth. Get some tape and tape the front of the bodice to your bra and/or skin. There's no need to wear a camisole then because the tape will keep the dress from hanging low and exposing things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-4#post-1570848 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 02:30:48 +0000 unfrumped 1570848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely a keeper! I agree, play around with the straps a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-4#post-1570800 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 00:41:01 +0000 Carole 1570800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty, Anne! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-4#post-1570799 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 00:38:01 +0000 anne 1570799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone</p> <p>missvee - back to front - great idea! I'll try it</p> <p>Collette and Jeneva - I will experiment with trying the ties to make a&nbsp;wider waistband - I always&nbsp;prefer wider belts so that sounds appealling</p> <p>Lyn D - I was wearing a strapless bra (&nbsp;I practically live in them in summer) but felt there was still more revealed than I was comfortable with if I bent over or the neckline shifted (since it was loose)</p> <p>texstyle - I thought of second base too, but am not sure if we have them in Australia - I'll have to look them up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-4#post-1570707 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 20:59:33 +0000 Jenava 1570707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty, and I think the footwear is perfect with it. &nbsp;I'd like to see a shorter, more delicate necklace and maybe a different topper; Not sure how to explain, but I feel like it needs something a bit more dramatic as a topper (or none at all). </p> <p>I'd also like to see the ties wrapped around your waist once more to create a wider waistband, if that makes sense?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-4#post-1570706 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 20:58:39 +0000 Lyn D. 1570706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it too!<br />Do you have a strapless bra? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-4#post-1570692 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 20:33:24 +0000 Brooklyn 1570692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good. Very roman goddess. Sometimes those Hollywood tape things can help with bra exposure issues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-4#post-1570642 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 17:39:18 +0000 rachylou 1570642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a GREAT dress on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-4#post-1570600 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 16:17:54 +0000 texstyle 1570600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great on you - and instead of a full cami, what about a half cami type bra? I live in a very hot climate here in Texas and use those instead of full camis. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-4#post-1570576 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 15:44:04 +0000 Colette 1570576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress on you and the way you paired it with the necklace. One thought is that maybe you can play around with the attached ties to give the dress some structure. It looks like you can wrap the ties around your waist one more time and that might do it. Also, you can try to make them less bunchy and more flat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-4#post-1570562 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 15:25:13 +0000 missvee 1570562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks good on you. I think I would tie the belt so that it doesn't fall below the hemline. And I wonder - could you wear it front to back so that you don't have the low neckline to contend with? ( not that it looks bad as is, I'm just musing about how you could avoid a cami on a hot day). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-4#post-1570555 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 15:11:34 +0000 Anonymous 1570555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great. I like how you've styled it with the necklace and it looks nice with and without the cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-4#post-1570546 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 15:02:41 +0000 rute 1570546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! Fits so well, it's trendy and edgy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-dress-4#post-1570492 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 13:15:10 +0000 anne 1570492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This dress was handed down to me some months ago, and now the weather is warming up here in Oz, I tried it on and wore it to church yesterday.</p> <p>As with many things handed down from this (non-ylf) friend, it is good quality - and not what I would have chosen myself. I am attracted to drapes but often feel that they are not best suited for &nbsp;my lack of upper body curves (well, you know, I mean a bust!)</p> <p>The basic design is a shift, but there are 2 quite full straps which are&nbsp; attached under each arm. I think the idea is that you can play around with them to do different looks.</p> <p>It is navy, but I have overexposed the first 2 pics in an attempt to show you the design.</p> <p>Would love your comments</p> <p>One minus point I discovered after wearing - the drapy neckline really makes wearing a cami a necessity, which really limits how much I can wear it in our hot summers. </p>
