You're clever to hack the length to one you prefer. I really like the striped detail on this, it's very fun. I'm also a big yes for the sneakers version! They blue converse pair so well with this dress. Excellent outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6a-new-to-me-dress#post-2393179 Fri, 08 Aug 2025 17:52:59 +0000 Murph11 2393179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SCORE!

Very current styling of a great classic dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6a-new-to-me-dress#post-2393103 Thu, 07 Aug 2025 23:51:48 +0000 Suz 2393103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Carla</b>, I love the dress on you! Terrific! I think the colour works well -- as <b>Lise</b> said, if you get compliments it's probably pretty darned good! You got the length perfect.&nbsp;</p> <p>Can you wear your yellow shoes with it and something else to coordinate with the yellow?&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't think Ecco works for you, right? But if it does, maybe you would be interested in these sandals that I got on sale.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6a-new-to-me-dress#post-2393101 Thu, 07 Aug 2025 23:42:55 +0000 Cookie 2393101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why are the Ontario strawberries SO GOOD?!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6a-new-to-me-dress#post-2393085 Thu, 07 Aug 2025 20:20:09 +0000 Irina 2393085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I came back to say that with all the linen and cotton you wear this summer, you should definitely get a straw/raffia bag. It would enhance your Euro chic outfits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6a-new-to-me-dress#post-2393084 Thu, 07 Aug 2025 20:18:23 +0000 Carla 2393084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree that footwear is too heavy!</p> <p>FWIW, I’ve got a light coloured shoe/sandal on my HEWI list. &nbsp;A HEWI because I am looking for a degree of coverage across the forefoot, but with toe exposure - but also very low, but not with a chunky or athletic looking sole! </p> </p> <p>Went for a drive with DH, and stopped for coffee and a treat, and later a farmer’s market for local produce: peaches and cream corn, new potatoes, Ontario strawberries (!!), and a peach pie! &nbsp;Styled with sneakers and a hat. &nbsp;Wore a jean jacket whilst in the car. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6a-new-to-me-dress#post-2393081 Thu, 07 Aug 2025 19:52:37 +0000 Jenni NZ 2393081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great on you!

Perfect tea length, <b>Carla</b>! I like the colour on you :)</p> <p>FWIW, I vote a less heavy shoe. Try your new Vega sneakers with it!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6a-new-to-me-dress#post-2393066 Thu, 07 Aug 2025 18:21:06 +0000 Irina 2393066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice dress! You can try it with your yellow slingbacks, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6a-new-to-me-dress#post-2393065 Thu, 07 Aug 2025 18:11:31 +0000 LJP 2393065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty ! You nailed the length too . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6a-new-to-me-dress#post-2393064 Thu, 07 Aug 2025 18:06:44 +0000 Ket 2393064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you, Carla! A thoughtful friend and a great dress to boot. Really love the sleeve pleat detail. It's so pretty and feminine.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would have never known you had lopped of some length with this. Good move-- the new length is perfect on you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6a-new-to-me-dress#post-2393055 Thu, 07 Aug 2025 17:10:54 +0000 Val MN 2393055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neat dress. I think you got the length just right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6a-new-to-me-dress#post-2393043 Thu, 07 Aug 2025 15:58:30 +0000 Star (Lise) 2393043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As per question from COOKIE you could try your yellow slingbacks too. The 'unexpected shoe' idea may work well to lighten things up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6a-new-to-me-dress#post-2393041 Thu, 07 Aug 2025 15:52:04 +0000 Carla 2393041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Updated with Finds. &nbsp;I found a photo of the dress on Posh Mark!</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>Mirjana -&nbsp;</b>this has been a summer of linen and cotton for me. &nbsp;Also, much more wearing of ‘one-and-done’ dresses in loose styles and natural fibres for summer’s heat and humidity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6a-new-to-me-dress#post-2393040 Thu, 07 Aug 2025 15:51:48 +0000 Cookie 2393040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I love this dress! So summery and the new length is great. Maybe with some brown or lighter colored shoes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6a-new-to-me-dress#post-2393039 Thu, 07 Aug 2025 15:51:06 +0000 Star (Lise) 2393039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such interesting angled stripes/chevrons. Very cool. If you received compliments then the colour is not off. I like it! You look very fab! Bet your friend is going to wish she had altered it for herself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6a-new-to-me-dress#post-2393037 Thu, 07 Aug 2025 15:45:32 +0000 Mirjana 2393037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why don't you change a little your style for so beautiful dress on you. Gorgeous dress , lovely color and so interesting stripes. I see why you got compliments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6a-new-to-me-dress#post-2393036 Thu, 07 Aug 2025 15:39:11 +0000 Carla 2393036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A friend who is downsizing offered me a dress she hadn’t worn in 3 years and felt was my style. &nbsp;100% cotton in a breezy weave. &nbsp;Button down. &nbsp;‘Sure’ I said. &nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div>I did lop off 3 inches since it was a maxi length and I’m not a fan of super long dresses or skirts. &nbsp;The dress is really well made with lots of interesting seaming and well matched stripes. &nbsp;The short sleeves have a pretty pleated detail. &nbsp;Put it into immediate rotation. &nbsp;Though I don’t think the colours are my best, DH approved, and I received two compliments while I was out running errands! &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Dress - Max Studio (gifted)<br />Fisherman sandals - Steve Madden (2022)<br />Leather bag - Coach (thrifted)&nbsp;</div></p>
