It's still not my favorite dress on you, though. If you love it, go for it. If you just like it enough to fill your wardrobe hole, I'd keep looking. I feel like there is a big maxi selection right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uh-oh---i-like-both-colorways-of-the-same-dress#post-940387 Fri, 24 May 2013 01:26:06 +0000 Sara L. 940387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would have a hard time deciding too - I like both colors. &nbsp;The pink/orange seems more summery and fun though. &nbsp;I like maxi dresses and think they are great for summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uh-oh---i-like-both-colorways-of-the-same-dress#post-940267 Thu, 23 May 2013 23:32:22 +0000 Mo 940267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Decided the black/grey isn't staying. &nbsp;That leaves the pink/orange on the table. &nbsp;One last pitch for the dress. &nbsp;In motion. &nbsp;Any takers?? &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10200805656251187&amp;set=vb.1456754575&amp;type=2&amp;theater">https://www.facebook.com/photo.....38;theater</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uh-oh---i-like-both-colorways-of-the-same-dress#post-940260 Thu, 23 May 2013 23:23:49 +0000 Anonymous 940260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do not love either on you, I am afraid to say.

I feel it's a little muu-muu-ish, and while I love them in Hawai'i, I think a hi-low dress would be more current. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uh-oh---i-like-both-colorways-of-the-same-dress#post-940192 Thu, 23 May 2013 21:26:45 +0000 Mo 940192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe I should play with strap and waist adjustment a little bit. &nbsp;I actually like the fullness of the skirt. &nbsp;Hate snugness on my high hip, where I feel it accentuates it and makes me look all around bigger. &nbsp;Here is the model in the dress. &nbsp;she definitely has the straps at a better length lol. &nbsp;will work on it a bit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uh-oh---i-like-both-colorways-of-the-same-dress#post-940187 Thu, 23 May 2013 21:21:13 +0000 Anonymous 940187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the pink/orange color on you, but the dress looks&nbsp;<i>so big</i> all the way around. It looks like there is so much fabric in the skirt, and like your waist is lost. And your figure is way too nice to hide.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uh-oh---i-like-both-colorways-of-the-same-dress#post-940180 Thu, 23 May 2013 21:10:25 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 940180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pink one looks great against your skin. I agree with Marley that I'd like to see the straps a little shorter. Other than that I think it looks breezy and fun for the beach! But until you test it out in action, I wouldn't keep both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uh-oh---i-like-both-colorways-of-the-same-dress#post-940178 Thu, 23 May 2013 21:06:31 +0000 Mo 940178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, no dress for me at work running up and down stairs with plates of food! &nbsp;Disaster. &nbsp;<br />This is just for breezy warm days outdoors. &nbsp;I do like them both, though, and truly cannot decide. &nbsp;Ugh.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uh-oh---i-like-both-colorways-of-the-same-dress#post-940176 Thu, 23 May 2013 21:04:52 +0000 KikiG 940176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you want a fun, beachy dress, go for the one that makes your heart sing.&nbsp; Fun and young and prom are a very good thing at the beach!</p> <p>With a topper, I could wear that dress to work in the summer--it would be ok in my business casual workplace, and that colored my thinking.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uh-oh---i-like-both-colorways-of-the-same-dress#post-940174 Thu, 23 May 2013 21:00:55 +0000 Mo 940174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taxidermy. &nbsp;Yes, the good ol' boys in the rural parts of FL do know how to do that well. &nbsp;;) &nbsp;<br />I am keeping my eyes open for a great hi low and only keeping one of these play-by-the-water capsule maxis. &nbsp;The question is which one at this point . . . .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uh-oh---i-like-both-colorways-of-the-same-dress#post-940171 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:56:48 +0000 Angie 940171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! You haven't given up on the high-low maxi idea! Sorry the other one didn't work out. </p> <p>Do you mean the doggie is plush, or taxidermy? So weird!

I'm barefoot in these pics.&nbsp; </p> <p>EDIT &nbsp;Kiki I don't want to look 'prom'!! &nbsp; but the intent is a summery, beachy look. &nbsp;Ideally I'd wear this dress sans topper 90% of the time. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uh-oh---i-like-both-colorways-of-the-same-dress#post-940168 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:51:37 +0000 Mo 940168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need to find better pic spots - the doggie is stuffed and that's his 'spot'. &nbsp;<br />I'm sad the high low did not work out. &nbsp;It was very tight across my not so ample bosom. &nbsp;Badly cut. &nbsp;<br />I'm leaning towards a&nbsp;keep of&nbsp;the pink/orange for summer fun by the shore and to continue to keep a look out for a high low as well. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uh-oh---i-like-both-colorways-of-the-same-dress#post-940167 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:50:23 +0000 KikiG 940167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super flattering! I like the blue/black one.&nbsp; The pink one is cheerful, but looks more like prom to me, but the blue/black looks more adult.&nbsp; It would be easier to find a black topper than a topper to go with the pink, and blue/black one would season span better.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uh-oh---i-like-both-colorways-of-the-same-dress#post-940165 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:48:43 +0000 Marley 940165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo - I'm not sure what you are planning to wear these for - but, to me the only one that looks like it could work would be the first one as a possible beach coverup - but you would need to&nbsp;lower the straps - because to me, the way you've got the straps hiked up so high is ruining the neckline on the dresses.&nbsp; Of course then, I realize that if you lower the straps that it would be too long so you'd have to shorten it - not sure if its worth it&nbsp;to you!&nbsp; In general, these dresses just look like way too much material on your frame - I think its the gathers at the waist -&nbsp;which make both the skirt and the top very full and&nbsp;kind of puffy&nbsp;looking&nbsp;and the different swaths of color just add to the "too much" for your frame.&nbsp; (Sorry!) &nbsp;I think you can do better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uh-oh---i-like-both-colorways-of-the-same-dress#post-940164 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:48:17 +0000 Angie 940164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have a doggie, Mo? </p> <p>The pinks are definitely better colours against your complexion, although I still vote high-low maxi!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uh-oh---i-like-both-colorways-of-the-same-dress#post-940157 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:37:59 +0000 Mo 940157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and I almost didn't do the outside pics. &nbsp;53 degrees&nbsp;with 26mph winds. &nbsp;Suffering for fashion lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uh-oh---i-like-both-colorways-of-the-same-dress#post-940153 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:35:46 +0000 Mo 940153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooh, Una - caught me using my own advice against me. &nbsp;So lawyerly </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uh-oh---i-like-both-colorways-of-the-same-dress#post-940149 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:34:34 +0000 catgirl 940149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote pick one, because this is a pretty strong style statement, and I just read your advice to try out a look before adding multiples of that item. :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I like pink/orange - so tropical groovy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uh-oh---i-like-both-colorways-of-the-same-dress#post-940146 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:33:29 +0000 lyn* 940146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with BF that I like the pink/orange one more too But if it makes MO happy to have both, I vote for that, because Mo being happy is the most important. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uh-oh---i-like-both-colorways-of-the-same-dress#post-940143 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:32:08 +0000 Mo 940143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to keep them both but part of me says that's overkill and not necessary. &nbsp;And I'd likely favor one over the over eventually. &nbsp;The other part of me says, hey, they're a gift anyway and if you want to be frivolous and have both, you can! &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stuck-on-maxis">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....k-on-maxis</a>&nbsp; (the hi low did not fit well on the bust at all - it is going right back)&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />I'm very happy with the drape of the material. &nbsp;They feel very much like silk. &nbsp;The adjustable straps are a godsend for shorter types like me so I don't have a dragging on the ground dress. &nbsp;They are nowhere near as shiny as they appear in the pics. &nbsp;I tried the outdoor shot for more realistic color. (ignore bedhead and splotchy face please)</p> <p>Should I keep both? &nbsp;Or settle on one? &nbsp;The BF thinks the pink/orange as it is more summery to fit the style of the dress. </p> <p>yay - keep both! &nbsp;they have a different vibe<br />nay - same dress silly, pick one!&nbsp; </p>
