Even hemmed, those trumpet sleeves could be annoying if you ever need to eat. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-opinions-please#post-2143320 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 17:36:47 +0000 Minaminu 2143320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She used to be quite tactful but nowadays she doesn't waste any energy and is straight to the point!

I did a zoom call with my mum and showed her the dress... she told me I look like a priest!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>It's a shame as it had lots of good points, but it's not even a 9 out 10!&nbsp;</p> <p>Off it goes... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-opinions-please#post-2143243 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 13:35:12 +0000 Liz 2143243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>The proportions of the dress in this photo make it seem quite long. Would you need to take length off the hem as well?<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>If it were me and it were inexpensive, I'd go for it. If it were expensive, and I'd also need to get it altered, and I wasn't sure about the collar, I'd keep looking. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-opinions-please#post-2143234 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 12:45:49 +0000 Brooklyn 2143234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with Bijou. I think the contrast of the collar could be quite dramatic, especially with the bell sleeves. But it does limit your styling options. How do you feel about the collar? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-opinions-please#post-2143231 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 12:37:29 +0000 Bijou 2143231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find with dresses like this, it really depends on the fit. I like the drama of the white collar, although agree it does limit your styling options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-opinions-please#post-2143218 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 12:03:51 +0000 Janet 2143218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wool/viscose could be good or awful, it’s hard to know without seeing/feeling the material. Some of those fabrications stretch out weirdly after laundering. </p> <p>I’m with Jenni in that I’m not wild about the collar either. </p> <p>It seems to me that a classic warm navy dress would not be all that hard to find. Boden, perhaps? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-opinions-please#post-2143213 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 11:48:08 +0000 Star (Lise) 2143213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My items that are viscose blend with wool have pilled badly and quickly.&nbsp; I wonder what others experience with this has been?&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-opinions-please#post-2143198 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 09:44:17 +0000 Jenni NZ 2143198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m afraid I am not keen on the collar? Just my opinion of course but I think it does limit it a lot and make it less suitable for evening events? Otherwise I agree quite versatile and suits what you have put in your profile for your style preferences? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-opinions-please#post-2143196 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 08:53:34 +0000 Minaminu 2143196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been looking for a winter dress for a few years and have found this possible option!</p> <p> It's navy, and quite simple in its design and could be jazzed up with accessories, so it should be quite versatile for a variety of occasions.. The material is quite thick and is a blend of wool and viscose, machine washable . </p> <p>The sleeves are quite long, I will need to shorten them and this could be a good thing as the dress would become more classic.<br /> The white collar cannot be removed, this could be quite limiting.</p> <p>What's your opinion? </p>
