I gain and lose the same 10 lbs a few time a year it seems. Makes it hard to keep the clothes current. </p> <p>I'd like to see your dress collection since I am a bit of a collector too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick/page/2#post-350306 Sun, 15 May 2011 17:05:33 +0000 Kari 350306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not looking at the other responses yet:</p> <p>#1 is my favorite. I love the clean cut, and it is *so* pretty and fresh and fits you well.</p> <p>#2 - LOVE the shape of the skirt. Don't love the pattern or the high neckline. Keep a look out for skirts or dresses with this type of shape, because it's very pretty on you.</p> <p>#3 - my 2nd favorite, but I still think that the tiered ruffles, bow, and the slight stiffness to the fabric just feel like a little too much, and I still like your original dress from <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-which-is-better">this thread</a> better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-350303 Sun, 15 May 2011 17:01:30 +0000 Steph 350303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dianthus, I haven't chosen yet. I am definitely leaning toward purchasing 1 (which is on sale and non-returnable), and holding onto 3 (which I have already purchased but haven't worn, and is returnable), and waiting to see if 3 goes on sale and I can get it for less, in which case I would keep both. </p> <p>I am actually strongly considering trying on all of my dresses today and photographing each one. I am kind of a pretty dress addict, so I want to really take stock of what I have, to determine how much more I need. My weight also fluctuates, and is at its high end right now, so I want to see what fits me at this size and what doesn't. Maybe I should post the photos on YLF if I go that route. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-350231 Sun, 15 May 2011 14:27:54 +0000 lyn67 350231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 and 3 :-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-350202 Sun, 15 May 2011 13:31:27 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 350202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you decided? I have come back to check a few times because I really like #3 and hope it finds a good home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-350199 Sun, 15 May 2011 13:28:10 +0000 Anonymous 350199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm another strong vote for #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-350143 Sun, 15 May 2011 06:21:40 +0000 catgirl 350143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not looking at any other responses, I vote #1. I love the fit and the elegant simplicity of it. It could look dressed up or casual, and will go with just about anything. #2 is fine but not as perfect to me, and #3 is a little too much (but that is me, so take my bias against bows and girliness into consideration). #3 also seems more specific to me - it will stand out and so you may not be able to wear it multiple times where the same people will see it, if that's an issue. </p> <p>Dunno, I could be rambling because I've got several events to go to and trying to consider these same issues with my dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-350140 Sun, 15 May 2011 06:18:14 +0000 suzanne 350140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooo... Spanner in the works! I love the fit and look of dress 2. But, for your needs, I think dress 3 would be perfect. The fit is lovely, but what attracts me even more is because the colour makes your skin GLOW! (On the other hand, if you "need" two dresses, please give dress 2 a thought </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-350126 Sun, 15 May 2011 05:13:44 +0000 Sylvie 350126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Without reading anyone else's answer, I love #3! #1 is nice but not as dazzling. I don't care much for #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-350125 Sun, 15 May 2011 05:06:33 +0000 anna 350125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chiming in a bit late, but I immediately liked #3. It is very flattering on you, it has not too much cleavage in my opinion but just the right amount for this type of dress, it is a fun dress, one becomes happy by looking at it. The color glows on you.<br /> As for #1 I believe this could be a very useful dress, it is the one I would probably get since I lean towards neutrals out of habit. It does not catch my eye like #3, but it seems a very versatile choice. There are nice details on it with the combination of different textures.<br /> Number 2 has a different feel to it, I likes the shape of it but feel that the patterns on the skirt is too dominant to me.<br /> So, I vote #3 because you rock that shape and color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-350122 Sun, 15 May 2011 04:25:17 +0000 Steph 350122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So what's interesting is that the saleswomen and my boyfriend all really liked #1 when I tried it on. Then when I tried on #3 (the teal dress) they all immediately said #3 was the obvious choice. The saleswomen knew that they would not be making a sale on #3 (I had purchased it from Bloomingdales and they didn't even have my size at the boutique), but they still went on about how it was the best choice. I had actually preferred #1 a little, but the fact that they had no vested interest in me picking #3, but were still so excited about it, made me question my decision. </p> <p>I have to admit I am leaning toward keeping both--they have different shapes, colors, and looks. But I'm not sure that's practical. Regardless, I do think I'm going to get #1. I really like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-350112 Sun, 15 May 2011 03:49:50 +0000 Reneeb 350112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote 1 it is so elegant and flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-350109 Sun, 15 May 2011 03:45:41 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 350109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is #2, but if you are really looking for something more casual it doesn't make sense to get it. So of #1 and #3, #1 is my fave. All are cute but I find #1 more flattering and it's probably a lot more versatile.</p> <p>Fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-350094 Sun, 15 May 2011 03:17:50 +0000 Heather 350094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOOOOVE THAT MILLY DRESS!!! I have been eyeing it in that color and the green/navy version, but if it will crowd other dresses of the same formality in your closet, then I prefer the NL white dress (if we HAVE to choose....I adore the teal one, too!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-350039 Sun, 15 May 2011 02:00:14 +0000 yublocka 350039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote keep #1. If you didn't already have others similar to #2 I'd vote for that one also. #3 has too much going on, between the ruffle, the bow, the colour and the seams down the front. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-350036 Sun, 15 May 2011 01:56:50 +0000 Lisa 350036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked the white dress last time, and still like it best. #2 is a close second, but if you don't have a need for it, I would pass. #3 is a great color on you, but I prefer the fit and texture of #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-350001 Sun, 15 May 2011 01:13:17 +0000 Lisalou 350001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is my favorite. So pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-349997 Sun, 15 May 2011 00:55:02 +0000 Anonymous 349997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Voting for #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-349995 Sun, 15 May 2011 00:53:16 +0000 rae 349995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keeping your main concerns in mind, I choose #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-349990 Sun, 15 May 2011 00:46:04 +0000 Arya 349990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for #1. The cut and fit are lovely and very flattering on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-349980 Sun, 15 May 2011 00:28:24 +0000 MNsara 349980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, oh, oh!! If #1 is not lace, then it is clearly at the head of MY list </p> <p>. . . and I'm clearly confused, thinking your dresses are lace &amp; Trina Turk :-\ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-349977 Sun, 15 May 2011 00:26:47 +0000 Angie 349977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote #1 or #3 - both KILLER. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-349975 Sun, 15 May 2011 00:23:33 +0000 Steph 349975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback--looks like we're kind of all over the place, so I'll be interested in more responses. But just to clarify a few things--<br /> The white dress doesn't have any lace anywhere. It has a ruffle down the front, and the horizontal pattern is just stripes of alternating fabric--cotton and a sheer fabric (but then there is a white underlayer. </p> <p>The white and teal dresses are Nanette Lepore, the flared skirt dress is Milly. No Trina Turk. </p> <p>I personally don't mind cleavage and have sported way more than is shown in the teal dress. BUT you are still welcome to vote against it for that reason!</p> <p>Although I do own three white dresses already, this one does serve a different purpose than the ones I currently have. And I already own a teal dress as well. But I'm okay with the repetition of either/both colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-349968 Sun, 15 May 2011 00:20:49 +0000 Jonesy 349968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going with #1 out of this bunch. It seems elegant and like it could be dressed up or down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-349964 Sun, 15 May 2011 00:16:38 +0000 Maya 349964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I favor the white lace dress out of the lot. The second one looks great on you but sounds like it would be redundant. The third I don't care for. It seems snug at the bust and the bow is sort of oddly placed. </p> <p>The first one has the best combination of fitting well, looking great, and being versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-349957 Sun, 15 May 2011 00:12:54 +0000 MNsara 349957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Forewarning: I have no one recommendation.</p> <p>#1 - I think this is lovely on you and the lace is very on trend, but white lace could have some places you feel too dressed up for. . .</p> <p>#2 - love the fit and flare and the bold skirt pattern, but not so fond of the high neckline giving you absolutely no decolletage</p> <p>#3 - love the color but this one has too much cleavage for my taste! (Why is it that Trina Turk has to make so many super low cut things???)</p> <p>See, I'm really no help. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-349937 Sat, 14 May 2011 23:35:02 +0000 annagybe 349937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 the best, white dress is still good. Not a huge fan of the ruffle and bow on #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-349933 Sat, 14 May 2011 23:31:50 +0000 Isis 349933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the skirt on #2!!! But, if you aren't interested in a dressy-dress,</p> <p>THEN, on pure merits, I like the white dress best....but I remember that you already have 3 white dresses.....</p> <p>So then I vote for the green dress! </p> <p>(Not much help, am I!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-349932 Sat, 14 May 2011 23:31:45 +0000 celia 349932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourite is 2 but between the other I prefer 1.<br /> How did I do? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/torn-between-three-dresses-help-me-pick#post-349920 Sat, 14 May 2011 22:59:08 +0000 Angie 349920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also know which I like best </p>
