I fussed over it and how not to get it dirty. Then I wore it for what I thought was a short stroll, but ended up being an 8 mile getting lost in the woods. It washed perfectly.:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-white-dress-and-year-to-date/page/2#post-2190636 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 14:32:23 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2190636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous in that dress, and I hope you will wear it every chance you get! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-white-dress-and-year-to-date/page/2#post-2190635 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 14:31:11 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2190635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If that dress can be washed, I have found that there are very few stains on this planet that 1/4 cup of blue dawn plus 1/2 cup of white vinegar, soaking in the bathroom sink, can't get out.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I let it soak for at least 30 minutes, then I put on rubber gloves, and actively wash for 5 minutes.&nbsp; &nbsp;And rinse and rinse and rinse, until the water is clear in the sink.&nbsp; &nbsp; Roll it up in a towel and compress the water out, and dry on a rack.&nbsp; &nbsp;Which sounds like a lot of work, but actually isn't.&nbsp;</p> <p>By far, my favorite commerical stain remover is Zout.&nbsp; &nbsp;Zout works when the Tide pen, Spray n wash, Oxyclean, and all the other solutions fail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-white-dress-and-year-to-date/page/2#post-2190632 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 14:19:22 +0000 Helena 2190632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are the epitome of cool Cali style.

Wow, you wear white so beautifully. It's perfect with the tan sandals.

Beautiful backpack and so kewl to see the dress on, it’s really perfect on you. I admired it when you first contemplated it. I definitely want the olive now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-white-dress-and-year-to-date/page/2#post-2190404 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 18:59:49 +0000 sunnyday 2190404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your&nbsp;Loyola Convertible Small Leather Backpack.&nbsp; I own it in crochet and have been eyeing the tooled leather version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-white-dress-and-year-to-date/page/2#post-2190311 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 15:13:16 +0000 Suz 2190311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is sensational on you! Wow! It's going to give you so much variety, too. Just seeing your accessories (and hair) partnered with it gives a whole new (yet cohesive and harmonious) look. I'm with the others -- if it is cotton or linen you can treat any stains aggressively. White tends to work better than you'd think -- as long as you can launder it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-white-dress-and-year-to-date/page/2#post-2190294 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 14:22:37 +0000 Anonymous 2190294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your white dress. I still have the white EF handkerchief linen dress that I bought last year but have not worn yet. I was looking for just the right summer topper and have not found it yet plus there was no place to wear it. Enjoy and wear yours. What I really want is a white basic dress like Carla’s.<br /> All your new pieces look well thought out and very ‘you’. Thinking of you I bought two Johnny Was tops in a consignment store, one black silk and one navy linen, both with embroidery and different sleeve lengths. A little bit of summer boho to change things up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-white-dress-and-year-to-date/page/2#post-2190277 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 12:59:31 +0000 lyn67 2190277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, for the white dress especially! I do have a linen stift dress, and another stretchy lace but always worry to wear them, indeed...but what has a girl to do if loves whites!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-white-dress-and-year-to-date/page/2#post-2190207 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 03:10:36 +0000 Jenn 2190207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, y'all have made me blush! I'm glad this dress has been received so well, because I wasn't planning to send it back!</p> <p><b>Murph11,&nbsp;</b>it looks very much like your dress! Mine was marketed as reversible and I knew before ordering that I would wrap with the V in front. I did try it on the other direction, just to see, but in white linen, it felt like a hospital gown.</p> <p><b>Jonesy,&nbsp;</b>the backpack arrived today. I'll try to do a WIW with it soon.</p> <p><b>Sally,&nbsp;</b>that's really encouraging about your son's clothing. &nbsp;If oxy can get out teenage boy dirt, I should have no worries.</p> <p><b>unfrumped&nbsp;</b>and&nbsp;<b>chewyspaghetti,</b>&nbsp;I'm aiming for that line between taking good care of my clothes and not being precious about them. Luckily, linen is a sturdy fabric and should be able to hold up to stronger cleaning products. (and big thanks to e<b>veryone who recommended oxyclean</b>!)</p> <p><b>Minaminu</b>, I worry about see-throughness with white, too, but I figured this had multiple layers of fabric in front, and I almost always wear slip shorts under my dresses, so there wouldn't be a lot to see.</p> <p><b>runcarla,&nbsp;</b>peach juice?! Who would have thought?</p> <p><b>suntiger,&nbsp;</b>it's nice to have something just a little different from plain leather.</p> <p><b>Angie,</b> when I was trying it on, I told Kevin I felt like a Star Wars character. &nbsp;We'll have to do a photo shoot in Galaxy's Edge when we get back to Disneyland. &nbsp;:)</p> <p><b>Vildy,&nbsp;</b>that makes total sense and explains a lot about the aged bottle of liquid oxyclean I have. I'm going to grab some powder next time I get groceries.</p> <p><b>Synne, </b>that's great advice--<b></b>we have no shortage of sunlight!</p> <p><b>Fashintern,&nbsp;</b>the backpack isn't quite big enough to hold a shirt or sweater, but it'll be just right for my phone, wallet, charger, and sunscreen...and unlike my crossbody, it'll also probably hold a water bottle.</p> <p><b>JenniNZ,&nbsp;</b>thank you, that's such a kind comment. There's something about the light in that second photo, isn't there? Would you believe I didn't wear sandals at all until a few years ago?</p> <p><b>JAileen,&nbsp;</b>"as if a cloud has lifted" is the perfect description.&nbsp; </p> <p></p> <p>Sorry, I know I've missed some of you, but you are all so appreciated!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-white-dress-and-year-to-date/page/2#post-2190043 Mon, 26 Apr 2021 13:56:49 +0000 celia 2190043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great find on that white dress.

I am excited to see your backpack when it arrives--I have a sugar eye for that type of embossed leather (not sure what it's called exactly).

Really suits you- you are wearing the dress.<br /> You have a real knack for finding these items! I’m in awe.<br /> I get the fear of stains or other clothes- destroying events. I don’t have much to add from personal experience but think you got good advice from others. Wear your dress and hope for the best. It’s the tough thing about<br /> “ loving “ clothes, mere things— taking care of them, finding the balance between disappointment vs. never taking chances. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-white-dress-and-year-to-date#post-2189908 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 22:24:40 +0000 slim cat 2189908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect fit - great find!

As for wearing white, I do not have Angie’s magic power. &nbsp;I have have the opposite, in fact. &nbsp;If I wear white, it’s stained in a half hour. &nbsp;All of your additions are perfect for you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-white-dress-and-year-to-date#post-2189897 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 21:31:13 +0000 Jenni NZ 2189897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The white dress is so beautiful on you! In pic 2 especially I feel you look like an angel. I think it’s the dress, hair and your expression in that pic.<br /> I like the sandals too and have some I’ve seen on Styletread that I liked which are similar, when I saw them I thought those are like Jenn sandals! I didn’t get them but did feel drawn to them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-white-dress-and-year-to-date#post-2189893 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 21:09:08 +0000 notsaf 2189893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wowser! I have been leaning into white all year and Angie is right: Oxiclean can solve a host of evils. No surprise that SoCal has made you more boho. </p>
