I'd like it more with the top solid and sleeveless for balance. AJ on "Wild Card" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-card#post-2212125 Mon, 26 Jul 2021 04:19:26 +0000 AJ 2212125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Brooklyn - I have an IT shape and I used to avoid strong/bold sleeves, but sometimes I find that they do a great job of directing attention away from the tummy area.  I am hoping that the puff sleeve and flared skirt will make the waist look smaller in comparison.  We shall see. Joy - I also thought this designer's use of historical fabrics to create a story was quite interesting.  I do wonder how he will be able to continue with that when he is pressed for time on future challenges. Barbara Diane - Yes, the large print over the chest also is a concern for me, but the website video of the two models moving around made it seem less severe.  So I look forward to trying it on and either wanting to twirl around in it or having a good laugh!  :) Judy - Yes, it is good to see Tim Gunn again! CS - Yes, Heidi's jumper was FAB, especially when she added the belt!  However, I was not a fan of either of the outfits she wore in the second episode.   Runcarla - I am hoping that this will be a fun summer and hot fall dress.  Although sometimes long skirts make my legs feel hot, so I'm curious if this will work for me. Synne, Janet, Shevia, Rachylou, Jonesy - Thanks for the encouragement and I will definitely post pics when it arrives in September.   Jonesy on "Wild Card" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-card#post-2211083 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 19:11:05 +0000 Jonesy 2211083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love it for you! I hope you will share a WIW pic when it arrives :). rachylou on "Wild Card" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-card#post-2210957 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 07:53:16 +0000 rachylou 2210957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That’s gorgeous! And an excellent price, I must say. Tempting!

I hope it works out for you.  Anonymous on "Wild Card" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-card#post-2210804 Mon, 19 Jul 2021 13:28:56 +0000 Anonymous 2210804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ AJ, I am watching that series too.  And liked the winners use of historical fabrics.  I like this dress very much.  It is the perfect wild card and you will have the story of the dress.  Janet on "Wild Card" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-card#post-2210780 Mon, 19 Jul 2021 11:51:36 +0000 Janet 2210780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I just watched that episode and thought that was a great winning look! I say yay. Please let us know how it works out for you!

Brooklyn on "Wild Card" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-card#post-2210770 Mon, 19 Jul 2021 08:55:45 +0000 Brooklyn 2210770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the asymmetrical skirt and the interesting (unexpected) colour scheme. I’m not into puffy sleeves (on account of my broad shoulders) but I would totally wear this style sleeveless. If you like the sleeves I say go for it! AJ on "Wild Card" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-card#post-2210764 Mon, 19 Jul 2021 05:44:34 +0000 AJ 2210764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ KG - I'm not sure if it's considered a batik print.  They did not say on the show and the Amazon product description does not mention it either.  I'm curious to see if the print overwhelms me.   CS - Yes the 100% cotton was a big selling point!  I enjoyed the first season as well!  Different from Project Runway but in a good way.   chewyspaghetti on "Wild Card" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-card#post-2210761 Mon, 19 Jul 2021 05:37:14 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2210761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That's cute- and its 100% cotton! I can't wait to see it on you. I didn't realize that Season 2 was out. I enjoyed Season 1. kellygirl on "Wild Card" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-card#post-2210756 Mon, 19 Jul 2021 05:11:19 +0000 kellygirl 2210756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Is that a batik print? It's very cool and I can imagine you wearing it, AJ. All of the models look great in it--seems like it has great potential. What an interesting concept to have a winner's dress produced. I don't watch shows like this in general but I'm thinking I should.  AJ on "Wild Card" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-card#post-2210754 Mon, 19 Jul 2021 05:04:13 +0000 AJ 2210754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I just finished watching season 2 episode 1 of Making the Cut and the winning look from each show will be sold on Amazon.  I took a chance and ordered the first winning item (see Finds below).  It won't be delivered until mid September and my size had free returns so I thought, "Why not?"  What do you think?  Is this crazy bad or crazy good looking?  You won't hurt my feelings if you don't like it.  I'm curious to hear your thoughts.
