That's more my color combo than yours. Thanks for showing it to us! I love your watermelon print and striped sweater dresses on you. The comparison makes it so apparent that the zebra print color combo just wasn't the best you could find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-im-not-keeping-the-topshop-zebra-dress/page/2#post-2000137 Fri, 08 Feb 2019 15:10:08 +0000 Angie 2000137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies.<div><br /></div><div><b>Joy</b>, YES.

Looks as fabulous as expected. I appreciate you giving me a peek. I’m sorry the Zebra didn’t work bc it’s really a super flattering cut on you but you are very right, if anything is off at the start, it’ll remain that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-im-not-keeping-the-topshop-zebra-dress/page/2#post-1999988 Fri, 08 Feb 2019 02:38:36 +0000 Anonymous 1999988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I accidentally ended up on the site for that dress and under color, it said "black multi". Maybe the supplier made a switch or they sent you the wrong one. I would call them out on it. They should at least change the color on the site. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-im-not-keeping-the-topshop-zebra-dress/page/2#post-1999985 Fri, 08 Feb 2019 02:30:27 +0000 Kimraby 1999985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Colour trumps fit and style every time. Wise decision, but sad too. It’s a beautiful dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-im-not-keeping-the-topshop-zebra-dress/page/2#post-1999908 Thu, 07 Feb 2019 21:38:53 +0000 Angie 1999908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, ladies. It's got to be at least a 9 out of 10, right?</p> <p>Yes, <b>Jane.</b> That pattern has great hair matching potential for you. High five on not showing a lot of skin - full stop. I LOVE a good mesh dress. The floral I bought last year was the most worn dress of the year. Also Topshop </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-im-not-keeping-the-topshop-zebra-dress/page/2#post-1999900 Thu, 07 Feb 2019 21:29:02 +0000 Jane 1999900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Angie, that’s the one. I think it could be super for summer weekend wear - I don’t like to have too much skin out because I burn so easily and I think it might look good with my hair...I’ve not had a mesh dress before...we will see! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-im-not-keeping-the-topshop-zebra-dress/page/2#post-1999828 Thu, 07 Feb 2019 18:02:53 +0000 mtnsofthemoon 1999828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow that dress DOES looks amazing on you, but can see how its lacking the "spark" and crispness we both love.&nbsp; Such a bummer there is not enough cream or white in it to elevate it to a "keeper".&nbsp; I can tell even when paired with your darling flats it still falls "flat", hahahah.&nbsp; And in comparison to the red dress - its no contest!&nbsp; Onward and upward.......&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-im-not-keeping-the-topshop-zebra-dress/page/2#post-1999824 Thu, 07 Feb 2019 17:56:55 +0000 Cardiff girl 1999824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks fab on you but I quite Understand about the colours ,good for you for practising what you preach and not settling for something that’s so nearly there but not quite right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-im-not-keeping-the-topshop-zebra-dress/page/2#post-1999819 Thu, 07 Feb 2019 17:54:23 +0000 RobinF 1999819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad, it looks wonderful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-im-not-keeping-the-topshop-zebra-dress/page/2#post-1999818 Thu, 07 Feb 2019 17:52:29 +0000 Angie 1999818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the sweet compliments, ladies. Sorry to disappoint those who ordered the dress.</p> <p><b>Jane</b>, did you order this one?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-im-not-keeping-the-topshop-zebra-dress/page/2#post-1999771 Thu, 07 Feb 2019 16:19:54 +0000 Beewee 1999771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh well, poo poo.&nbsp; I just couldn't take it anymore and ordered the zebra dress just yesterday.&nbsp; Anchie just looks so great in it I HAD to try it!&nbsp; But brown and beige is not going to cut it&nbsp; with my silvery salt and pepper hair.&nbsp; Back to the drawing board... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-im-not-keeping-the-topshop-zebra-dress/page/2#post-1999757 Thu, 07 Feb 2019 15:45:24 +0000 Laura 1999757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's hard to return something that's so very close to being just right! I admire your discipline. I love mesh dresses and hope we see more of them at retail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-im-not-keeping-the-topshop-zebra-dress/page/2#post-1999711 Thu, 07 Feb 2019 14:13:11 +0000 lyn67 1999711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fit is amazing, but I can understand not loving this color combo for summer. I almost returned a similar pleated midi I recently bought for the exact reason of pattern in black &amp; cream (and not white). Still,&nbsp; I grabbed it out one morning this week and styled it for a cold spring day with a sweater and booties and felt gorgeous-so it is a keeper and&nbsp; predict even a FFBO now.<br />Also,&nbsp; I am so frustrated when online items are not described accurate&nbsp; enough for shades of white as&nbsp; cream can look bright white in the picties, too.<br />BTW maybe they are selling these items now as they are considered early Spring fashion rather then Summer. Hah, Angie, we are too impatient! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-im-not-keeping-the-topshop-zebra-dress/page/2#post-1999663 Thu, 07 Feb 2019 07:43:57 +0000 Jane 1999663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit is amazing. But thank you for the details on the colour analysis, and I understand.</p> <p>I’m a bit of a lemming of course so I’ve ordered the red / orange version, which was the only colour available in the UK. Will post when it arrives. </p> <p>Keep warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-im-not-keeping-the-topshop-zebra-dress/page/2#post-1999642 Thu, 07 Feb 2019 04:50:03 +0000 Gigi 1999642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is one of the things that frustrates me when shopping: when I find a beautiful item whose fit is spot on and that I love...but the color is inappropriate for the season in which I will wear it. I'm glad you were able to recognize that the colors simply weren't what you needed and that you can move on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-im-not-keeping-the-topshop-zebra-dress/page/2#post-1999631 Thu, 07 Feb 2019 03:41:07 +0000 Jaime 1999631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are a great example of PPP. I have stopped trying to talk myself into things that provoke bad associations or feelings. You do look beautiful in it, nonetheless - especially with the citron bag that makes you smile even more brightly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-im-not-keeping-the-topshop-zebra-dress/page/2#post-1999624 Thu, 07 Feb 2019 02:39:59 +0000 Style Fan 1999624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit is perfect on you Angie but how you feel is the most important thing.&nbsp; The other two dresses are so beautiful on you.&nbsp; Something better will come along. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-im-not-keeping-the-topshop-zebra-dress/page/2#post-1999617 Thu, 07 Feb 2019 01:47:04 +0000 Angie 1999617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suntiger</b>, my eyes are peeled.</p> <p><b>Suz,</b> wise words, and thank you. The Eliza J stripe dress is AMAZING. I wish I also had it in a red/pink stripe. The flare is what sold the dress to me. It's warm and a workhorse.&nbsp;</p> <p>Yay,<b> Kari.</b> HIGH FIVE :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-im-not-keeping-the-topshop-zebra-dress/page/2#post-1999616 Thu, 07 Feb 2019 01:45:57 +0000 Kari 1999616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do too, Angie! A superb pick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-im-not-keeping-the-topshop-zebra-dress#post-1999613 Thu, 07 Feb 2019 01:41:52 +0000 Suz 1999613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is helpful. The fit is terrific, but if it does not make you happy, it's not the right dress for you. I do think the other two are slam dunks. The colour is more vibrant and works with your personal vibrancy.&nbsp;</p> <p>Gosh, I really love that Eliza J. striped one. I hadn't realized it had such a nice flare to it. I know you mentioned that but I hadn't seen you in it.&nbsp; </p>
