F21 did a really nice job with the Ted Baker print! That looks like a dead on copy! I really like the look of that dress and was surprised to hear you say it hit right above the knee -- it looks so much shorter here. Sorry it didn't pass the bend-over test (haha). Probably not a priority for most F21 shoppers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wialmostb---floral-sheath-dress---review#post-1463111 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 21:11:36 +0000 Anonymous 1463111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The print and colors are beautiful and I got excited when reading that it hit you just above the knee at 5'7" . There might be hope for me at 5'3" and short waisted. I am sorry that it didn't pass the bend over test. Could it be the fabric? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wialmostb---floral-sheath-dress---review#post-1463109 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 21:05:23 +0000 rabbit 1463109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I tried this on at Forever 21 since it reminded me of the lemming Ted Baker navy sweater whose print I love on forum members.</p> <p><b>Pros</b> - the print is really&nbsp;lovely -- sharp and botanically realist&nbsp;and the blue is a true saturated&nbsp;dark navy/ink (looks more washed out in the photo). The print was a bit more spread out&nbsp;on the ones I tried than in the stock photo.&nbsp;It's lined, and the outer&nbsp;fabric has some texture and heft.&nbsp;<span>&nbsp;It's handwash cold.<br /></span><br />&nbsp;I fit L (I'm usually a&nbsp;size 10 or 12&nbsp;in dresses) with a slightly roomy&nbsp;tailored fit. The skirt hit just above my kneecaps (I'm 5'7" with a long waist).</p> <p>The skirt cut is an interesting design detail that hangs well.</p> <p><b>Cons</b> - it SO didn't pass the bend over test in the back which really I couldn't even figure out since it was plenty&nbsp;long enough standing up. &nbsp; But if you are short-waisted or have shorter legs, (or aren't but&nbsp;plan to wear leggings all the time?) &nbsp;Might be an option. &nbsp; &nbsp;Since it's Forever 21 the print doesn't necessarily line up on all seams &nbsp;-- but that wasn't&nbsp;really noticeable. </p>
