Maybe loafers, like your Franco Sarto ones? So grateful for your find on this one. </p> <p><b>Karen 13, The Cat, Dianna, kkards, Suz</b>- thanks for encouraging me to keep both! I do see myself wearing them for some slightly different work environments, depending on how I accessorize, so I don't think either would be an orphan.</p> <p><b>Lisa P</b>- so glad you like the dots! I was wavering on that one. I loved it in the mirror, but less so in the pictures, until I cinched in the top just a smidge. It definitely looks better with movement, rather than a still image.</p> <p><b>rachylou</b>- it's a fun dress, and I've really enjoyed seeing it on so many people.</p> <p><b>Janet, JAileen, Shevia</b>- the stripes are fun! And, I thought added a casual element that's perfect for my lifestyle, especially in the summer, when I have far fewer externally-facing meetings.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shop-dresses-polka-dots-and-stripes#post-1879244 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 04:10:05 +0000 Jaime 1879244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great on you - love the stripes especially. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shop-dresses-polka-dots-and-stripes#post-1879205 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 02:13:07 +0000 Dianna 1879205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep both, they look fab on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shop-dresses-polka-dots-and-stripes#post-1879198 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 01:36:14 +0000 JAileen 1879198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the striped dress with red. Fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shop-dresses-polka-dots-and-stripes#post-1879186 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 00:54:58 +0000 kkards 1879186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>gosh i love how the stripe dress and the polka dot take on totally different looks....both look fab....isn't it wonderful to find something that looks great, makes you feel great, and isn't expensive so you don't feel you need to "baby" it!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shop-dresses-polka-dots-and-stripes#post-1879138 Mon, 15 Jan 2018 23:20:30 +0000 Janet 1879138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I especially love the stripe on on you! </p> <p>Sadly, the stripe one was the only one I couldn’t try (sold out in anything approaching my size), and I think that one perhaps would have suited me. The solid color ones and the polka dot were not so hot on me. Clearly I am the exception to the magical dress! I’ll have to look elsewhere for another casual dress.</p> <p>Wear and enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shop-dresses-polka-dots-and-stripes#post-1879115 Mon, 15 Jan 2018 22:37:38 +0000 Suz 1879115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great!! I hope to take photos of mine this week, too. You look sensational in both, I must say.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shop-dresses-polka-dots-and-stripes#post-1879114 Mon, 15 Jan 2018 22:34:50 +0000 The Cat 1879114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They both look great on you. And with your dark colouring, you wear black&amp;white so well. Lovely dresses. Keep them both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shop-dresses-polka-dots-and-stripes#post-1879101 Mon, 15 Jan 2018 21:52:39 +0000 Anonymous 1879101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look fantastic on you. If I were keeping one, it would be the polka dot one . But if you want both - go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shop-dresses-polka-dots-and-stripes#post-1879081 Mon, 15 Jan 2018 21:07:17 +0000 rachylou 1879081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is obviously an amazing dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shop-dresses-polka-dots-and-stripes#post-1879075 Mon, 15 Jan 2018 21:05:05 +0000 karen13 1879075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dresses on you. Keep both - they look great, fit your life, and are a great value. The stripe is my favorite and the dots are just plain fun.&nbsp;I wish I a) wore dresses, and b) wore black, and then I could lemming you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shop-dresses-polka-dots-and-stripes#post-1879021 Mon, 15 Jan 2018 18:34:53 +0000 Angie 1879021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOOOHOOO.&nbsp;They look FABULOUS. I vote keep. Great fit and fab with your complexion. The fit of the jacket looks super as is.&nbsp;</p> <p>Try flatter footwear with the dresses. A more trendy approach.&nbsp;</p> <p>We are twins. I bought both these dresses and have committed to them too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shop-dresses-polka-dots-and-stripes#post-1879019 Mon, 15 Jan 2018 18:24:42 +0000 Kathie 1879019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I finally found time to try on the Topshop dresses that so many of us bought. Based on Angie’s comments, I got the US 6 (fits 2-4) in the stripe and the US 8 (fits 6-8) in the dots. I generally wear a 4-6 in dresses.</p> <p>1) Stripes, with red heels and red tagua nut bracelet.</p> <p>2) Dots, with red shooties</p> <p>3) Dots, with a clip pulling in a small bit of extra fabric through the bust. It’s a minor difference, but if I keep this, I’ll likely have it altered. I don’t think I’d size down because the shoulders and sleeves are as fitted as I want.</p> <p>4) Dots, with a platinum velvet jacket. I think I’ll look for a more fitted jacket in rose or citron/chartreuse/lime punch.</p> <p>Thoughts? Comments on sizing? I’m leaning toward keeping both because I could use more dresses for spring summer, and these are perfect for my life- breezy enough to wear on my walk/train commute, washable, and inexpensive, so that I won’t be “precious” with them. </p>
