Otherwise love all 3 tops are working great here.&nbsp;<br />The dress is a lot of dress, indeed---but&nbsp; Debs above has&nbsp; so right- we know the dress was meant to be like that -a fringe trend-it all depends where and how will you wear it! Only,&nbsp; I feel like in a darker color would look less so overwhelming on you -shortening would help with that- or a contrast cross body bag and flatform trainers- it all depends on your decisions!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193963 Mon, 10 May 2021 00:44:46 +0000 Deborah 2193963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, please don't do anything to that dress.&nbsp; It is stunning and that is exactly how it's meant to look.&nbsp; I personally find the look very flattering and attractive. The proportions look so good to me.&nbsp; I say wear and enjoy!&nbsp; I wore similar silhouette's this past summer and felt fab.</p> <p>The skirt is lovely too.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193884 Sun, 09 May 2021 18:33:07 +0000 bj1111 2193884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@rachy, I confess I wore the dress around the house for the evening holding a glass of bubbly and speaking in a southern accent! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193766 Sun, 09 May 2021 01:45:53 +0000 rachylou 2193766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great colour on the skirt! The puff sleeves are fun. And I love the dress, yes I do. I’d swan around in it just like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193762 Sun, 09 May 2021 01:33:41 +0000 Jaime 2193762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt looks great and I like it with the puffy sleeves. I think a strong shoulder of any kind will help balance it. I like the idea of the dress but agree a bit smaller and shorter would be even better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193730 Sat, 08 May 2021 22:05:02 +0000 Anonymous 2193730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, gosh - that Prada skirt really is something! What a find! I bet it feels wonderful to wear.<br /> Those tiered dresses with the big sleeves are a LOT of fabric, aren’t they? There are many versions of them out there right now, so odds are high you’ll find one that you like! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193718 Sat, 08 May 2021 21:01:51 +0000 Anonymous 2193718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 looks gorgeous. I really like the dress and even the length just agree a size smaller.<br /> I think # 3 would be cute too with sneakers for a casual look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193717 Sat, 08 May 2021 20:57:55 +0000 Katerina 2193717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great skirt! I love it on you and I like it with all the tops you have tried. The puff sleeve top is really pretty and suits you.<br />I think the dress is a bit big for you, as others suggested, how about a smaller size?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193702 Sat, 08 May 2021 19:53:42 +0000 Suz 2193702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous skirt -- I love it on you! Really love the puff sleeve top, too, and don't think it makes your head look weird. When you put your footwear on there will be greater balance.&nbsp;</p> <p>I really like the idea of the puff sleeve dress and think maybe a midi length would work well for this.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193657 Sat, 08 May 2021 14:19:57 +0000 kkards 2193657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the cream puff sleeve top...but I’m thinking of it with jeans or a chino/cotton pant or a tailored short<br />skirt is lovely...I’m seeing a fabulous silk tee shirt (real silk or a faux silk)...if your interested in a retro feel maybe a charmouse fabric&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193656 Sat, 08 May 2021 14:17:21 +0000 Angie 2193656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER skirt, and you styled it very well! I love #1.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the tiered dress idea! Great stripes! I'd say a size smaller and more of a midi length. More comfy that way too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193647 Sat, 08 May 2021 13:53:23 +0000 Anonymous 2193647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the skirt best with either of the black tops. The dress looks like too much dress for you, and you can find something better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193603 Sat, 08 May 2021 07:28:41 +0000 Bijou 2193603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Carla. The maxi dress is overwhelming, could you go down a size? Alternatively, if you love the dress, I like the suggestion of removing a tier. However, I think you can do better and would return it and get something that gives you more shape. The puff sleeves are cute on you, it is the volume in the dress that is throwing it off to my eye.</p> <p>Apologies not sure why I have the dress below in my post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193593 Sat, 08 May 2021 05:00:15 +0000 Jonesy 2193593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Geez, leather Prada! Way to bury the lede, BJ :). I'm guessing it's beautifully made, and it will be fun for the fall and winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193576 Sat, 08 May 2021 03:05:16 +0000 Debbie 2193576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the cream top with the skirt. All the tops work. I agree with you on the dress. You are swimming in it. I think you can find a maxi dress that fits better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193574 Sat, 08 May 2021 02:52:29 +0000 bj1111 2193574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I knew that dress swamps me. I just needed confirmation. I’ve packed it up for a return. </p> <p>@lisap, I do have a camel -ish linen summer weight sweater to try. It is oversized so a contrast with the skirt fit. Skirt is pre-loved Prada</p> <p>@jonesy, skirt is leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193571 Sat, 08 May 2021 02:38:06 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2193571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>That skirt is a winner, in my book! I like it with all the tops, but especially with the cream puff-sleeve. Wow! <br /></div><div>The striped maxi seems super fashion forward, like ahead of my eye. I would like to see it shortened to show a little ankle. But then it wouldn't be a maxi, would it? I wouldn't send it away yet!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193565 Sat, 08 May 2021 02:17:20 +0000 ophelia 2193565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah I love both-&amp; the cream top. I don’t see a small-head effect from the sleeves.<br /> I also agree w/ Lisa P that a darker top will provide another type of look w/ lower contrast. The skirt looks extremely versatile-sandals in summer, sweater &amp; boots in winter &amp; able to match many colors-peach, salmon, teal, black....<br /> That dress is a summer dream, cool, graceful, non-constricting, fresh. What will you use it for? If it were me, I’d want to leave it long but would get more use out of it for out &amp; about purposes if the bottom ruffle were removed. However, I am short &amp; see everything from that vantage point. I might consider going down a size, but it is meant to be a looser fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193561 Sat, 08 May 2021 02:09:20 +0000 slim cat 2193561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like pic #3 with black graphic tee ( sneakers, slides..).<br />The dress is needs to be shorten I think - a bit overwhelming on your frame ( or worn at home for pure comfort &nbsp;as it is &nbsp;;) ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193560 Sat, 08 May 2021 02:07:02 +0000 Jonesy 2193560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the new skirt! What is the material? Is it for spring/summer or could you also wear it with boots or booties in cooler weather? I can see why you love that cream puff-sleeved top! I like all of these tops with the new skirt, but I wonder about also trying a cropped top (with or without a welt) that would come over the waistband an inch or two? That might be an additional option, if you have such a top in your wardrobe :).</p> <p>That dress is dramatic! I know it's supposed to be oversized, but it might be extra-oversized? How do you feel in it? Does it make you want to put on some sandals and stroll about the farmers market?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193557 Sat, 08 May 2021 01:56:32 +0000 Sloper 2193557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the puff sleeve top works best with the skirt - balanced proportions. The dress is beautiful - I think you could go down a size though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193555 Sat, 08 May 2021 01:56:21 +0000 Anonymous 2193555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the skirt - is it from BR ? It is pretty high waisted on you though so I wonder about a low contrast top for proportion fudging . Cute dress but it’s overwhelming you.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193547 Sat, 08 May 2021 01:16:34 +0000 Carla 2193547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the puffed sleeves ‘long’ in both the top <i>and<u></u></i><u></u><i><u></u></i>&nbsp;the dress. &nbsp;Makes a beautiful shoulder line, and more ‘street style/modern’.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193545 Sat, 08 May 2021 01:13:16 +0000 Sally 2193545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great skirt and it looks great with all three tops.&nbsp; I don't know about the dress as it seems quite big.&nbsp; It has a nice neckline though.&nbsp; Perhaps you could alter it as Runcarla suggested.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193544 Sat, 08 May 2021 01:07:43 +0000 bj1111 2193544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies...I was thinking about lopping off the last flounce layer</p> <p>Dress does look much better with super puff sleeve arrangement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-another-a-line-skirt#post-2193543 Sat, 08 May 2021 01:04:06 +0000 Carla 2193543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1.
