I think it'd be a better investment to find a versatile skirt or top for work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-1227566 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 22:12:13 +0000 unfrumped 1227566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like # 2 better. # 1 is just off in top fit and how that combines with the skirt. I'm a magnet for color choices too, so I have had to resale struggle to look beyond that.<br /> I agree with a lighter cami if you can-- is that a beigy color or peachy in the print? Not going for underwear- nude, but something springy. Then maybe accessories that pick up some of the lighter colors. I struggle with footwear but if you could find ( or have) a very modern looking sandal or some such , I think that dress would be good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-1227512 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 21:29:13 +0000 Style Fan 1227512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you feel you need to wear a cami?&nbsp; If you do I would get one that matched as closely as possible.&nbsp; I can't tell if the dress is brown but I would get that colour.</p> <p>The dress fits you well.&nbsp; You look more comfortable in it than the other one.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-1227487 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 20:55:29 +0000 rachylou 1227487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A brown cami would be nice... to blend in with the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-1227412 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 19:11:51 +0000 Angie 1227412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The older dress fits better for sure.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-1227362 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 17:54:49 +0000 gardenchick 1227362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's the next option...have had this Laundry dress for at least 10 years. </p> <p>The cami is actually dark blue..I don't have black yet. But I could get a black cami if it's visibly clashing.</p> <p>Thanks for weighing in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-1226796 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 22:39:23 +0000 rachylou 1226796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie said. I like it tho, in general </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-1226668 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 19:29:29 +0000 gardenchick 1226668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-1226511 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 16:32:06 +0000 Angie 1226511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like the colour, but the fit is not ideal. It's too tight on the bust - and will gape even more when you move and sit. (It's a fab idea to&nbsp;do the sit down test before you commit to a style).&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't find the skirt part too poufy though. That's the look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-1226433 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 15:08:14 +0000 Catnip 1226433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color is great on you, but I think the top may be a little bit tight.&nbsp; I'm not really sure about that, since there is no pulling at the buttons and you may just need a different bra.&nbsp; Removing the pockets would probably leave marks on the fabric.&nbsp; I would try a different, structured belt and dressy shoes.&nbsp; That might make all the difference.&nbsp; If not, consider your other options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-1226423 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 15:01:16 +0000 gardenchick 1226423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Beth Ann! Not sure I know my own style yet either, which is why I'm here!</p> <p>Will think about what you and others suggest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-1226382 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 14:06:17 +0000 Beth Ann 1226382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GC:&nbsp; I don't know your style very yet, which is always helpful in such situations.&nbsp; I wanted to say that removing the pockets would almost certainly "show" on this type of fabric.&nbsp; Long term I think it would make an interesting tunic, if the flounce were removed.&nbsp; I can see it over leggings or skinny pants.</p> <p>As it is now, I'd try with a refined belt and shoes.&nbsp; The color is stunning and very on trend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-1226349 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 12:57:13 +0000 gardenchick 1226349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thx for all the great responses here. I have a weakness for looking too closely at color, rather than everything else!</p> <p>I think many of you echoed my concern that the proportions are off, with the top a little tight and the bottom too much volume. Will look around for other options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-1226302 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 10:02:25 +0000 Style Fan 1226302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colour on you and I think the dress fits you perfectly.&nbsp; I would tie the sash differently.&nbsp; I don't like the big bow but maybe double knot and let it lie down.&nbsp; I have a dress similar without ruffles and that is how I tie the sash.&nbsp; The bottom is a bubble.&nbsp; I don't think you can remove the pockets because it will be obvious.&nbsp; Maybe someone who is knows a lot about sewing could tell you but the fabric looks like it would show the pockets.</p> <p>If this is your only option then put on the shoes, do your hair and make up and some jewellery and try again.&nbsp; I think it would look great on you.</p> <p>I would suggest dark shoes because of your dark hair.&nbsp; Simple jewellery because the dress is fancy.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-1226294 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 08:58:18 +0000 Caro in Oz 1226294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the colour on you but the top of the dress looks a little tight imo &amp; I'm not a fan of those layered ruffles. Do you have any other options? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-1226292 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 08:25:10 +0000 fuzzylogic 1226292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colour on you too! And the length! I would keep the sash- I think it is needed to balance the frill on the bottom. If you remove the pockets remember that there may be variations in the colour of the fabric due to fading. I would just keep as is. Add a neat black jacket, black pumps and pearls and you're off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-1226288 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 07:00:42 +0000 Kiwichik 1226288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the colour &amp; fit &amp; agree with Lyn - loose the tie abs simplify the bottom as much as possible - add some refined shoes &amp; let us see what it looks like </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-1226287 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 06:58:44 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1226287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The tie belt and the pockets and the bottom ruffle are just too much froufrou for my eye. The color is nice on you as is the fit. If there's any chance that you could remove th pockets in a way that left the dress looking ok, and maybe replace the sash with a structured leather belt? ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-1226278 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 06:37:21 +0000 Lyn D. 1226278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it could work with refined shoes and a structured topper.<br />Leaving off the tie or minimising the bow might help with the fullness on the bottom half.<br />Or- let us see some other possibilities? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-1226266 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 05:43:00 +0000 gardenchick 1226266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I picked this dress up at a clothing swap recently. I like the color and the fit on top, but think it may be too "poufy" on the bottom. Also lukewarm about the pockets and wondering taking them off would improve or ruin the dress.</p> <p>I'm considering wearing this to an upcoming wedding. Thoughts? I'm sure I can dig up other possibilities so don't be afraid to be honest! </p>
