Still, nothing ventured, nothing gained.</p> <p>As for bare shoulders being inappropriate, I'm sure you have a shrug or a shawl that will remedy that problem very nicely if it's ever an issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-dress-yay-or-nay#post-771399 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 00:11:07 +0000 Nanabear 771399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great for the occasions you describe. Given the Nordstrom return policy, I say go for it! You can order the 10 to try on and if it's too big, you can always return it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-dress-yay-or-nay#post-771219 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 19:54:28 +0000 Sara L. 771219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this dress! I don't think it reads holiday although you could definitely wear it to a holiday party. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-dress-yay-or-nay#post-771213 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 19:49:38 +0000 harmonica 771213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the dress! If you are comfortable with bare shoulders, I think this would be great. But it is important that the fit is right! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-dress-yay-or-nay#post-771167 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 18:59:11 +0000 missvee 771167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's an interesting dress- I like the shape and the colours. Agree with you that the spaghetti straps might not work, but you never know. The dress in the other thread is much shorter and "younger" looking - this one has a more sophisticated vibe. I would try it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-dress-yay-or-nay#post-771098 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 17:39:31 +0000 MsMary 771098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it!! I think it looks happy and festive and perfect for the occasion!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-dress-yay-or-nay#post-771097 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 17:38:51 +0000 Diana 771097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm... issue is that if I were to remove the straps, the top definitely needs to be not too big. So maybe I should wait and see if the Size 8 comes back in stock (especially since Nordie's suggests sizing down.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-dress-yay-or-nay#post-771096 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 17:34:28 +0000 Anonymous 771096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those straps are usually removable, like a bra strap. Are they?<br /> I do think you should try it out! I definitely see potential </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-dress-yay-or-nay#post-771072 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 16:56:41 +0000 suzyq 771072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a dress very similar to that/ different color. The sash is removable, The pleats are not as poufy as they appear in the pic. I would be concerned about sizing up if you do need to go sans bra as it may gape. My only issue with my dress is the eye and hook closure kept coming undone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-dress-yay-or-nay#post-771059 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 16:38:00 +0000 rae 771059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the pleats and don't think it looks like a Holiday Only Dress. I am not sure about the straps, just based on your other thread pics. You might be able to lop them off entirely if you don't like them, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-dress-yay-or-nay#post-771051 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 16:29:15 +0000 Diana 771051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I know what you mean. I am not sure about the spaghetti straps either. Just posted a Keep/toss thread with another spaghetti strap dress if you want to see what I look like in one. </p> <p>Thistle, this has built in support, which is one reason I like it! I detest strapless bras, and often go without a bra at all in more structured fitted formal dresses. </p> <p>Rachy, I wouldn't be wearing this to the actual wedding. Just the rehearsal dinner and/or the banquet (unless I decide to wear a cheongsam). The wedding and reception will be white dress (with covered shoulders, natch.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-dress-yay-or-nay#post-771039 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 16:14:34 +0000 rachylou 771039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I have this thing about showing the shoulders to god when it comes to weddings. And also black on the bride (unless she's goth). So I have to confess that I think the dress is nice but I also feel this twinge of I don't know... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-dress-yay-or-nay#post-771031 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 16:05:12 +0000 Thistle 771031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it is too holiday, and I like the dress a lot. Not sure how you feel about strapless bras, but I avoid them!</p> <p>Only way to know for sure is to try it on and see how it looks on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-dress-yay-or-nay#post-771024 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 15:55:24 +0000 Karie 771024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty, and I don't think it is too holiday. I saw on the website it comes with a sheer shawl, which would be very pretty with it. You could always change that to something heavier for the colder holiday months. I vote yea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-dress-yay-or-nay#post-771016 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 15:46:33 +0000 Angie 771016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do not like the spaghetti straps on the model at all. But they could look fab on you! Fab frock. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-dress-yay-or-nay#post-771011 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 15:44:17 +0000 Diana 771011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am considering it for a potential wedding rehearsal dinner outfit or for the Chinese banquet (separate from wedding reception, for which I will be wearing a white wedding dress). These events will be in May and June. I'd also of course like to be able to wear it to other things, for example to other people's weddings, etc. And possibly holiday parties, although I don't generally get invited to fancy ones. I wonder if it reads too holiday though, which I do not want. I'm also not convinced about the sash but not sure if it could be removed.</p> <p>My size is not available but the size up is - I suspect that it might be better to go bigger anyway so the pleats won't pouf out as much. </p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/js-collections-ribbon-trim-mesh-dress/2976991?cm_cat=datafeed&#038;cm_ite=js_collections_ribbon_trim_mesh_dress:214459_1&#038;cm_pla=dresses:women:dress&#038;cm_ven=Google_Product_Ads&#038;mr:ad=24976565633&#038;mr:adType=pla&#038;mr:filter=40532854193&#038;mr:keyword=&#038;mr:match=&#038;mr:referralID=NA&#038;mr:trackingCode=5F76741F-301D-E111-8116-001517B1882A&#038;origin=pla" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/js.....origin=pla</a> </p>
