Black is hard to photograph, but it shows off your lovely waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---armani#post-1931502 Mon, 25 Jun 2018 03:09:11 +0000 anne 1931502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah ha!&nbsp; I have to say that I think the person (a family friend) who gave it to me is an overshopper who is &nbsp;unhelpfully influenced by designer quality.&nbsp; The dress is fine but I wouldn't have bought it myself, even at a thrift shop (I suspect she bought it at a consignment place). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---armani#post-1931494 Mon, 25 Jun 2018 02:59:11 +0000 Jenni NZ 1931494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Because you wore Armani! I've never done that. Best I do for designer is perfumes- last year Versace Bright Crystal, this year (and on my Fly Buys points, a loyalty programme so this year's one essentially free) Dolce Floral drops. My first ever Dolce and Gabbana item- adore their aesthetic but not necessarily their opinions or tax avoidance- and likely to be all I ever wear from them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---armani#post-1931487 Mon, 25 Jun 2018 02:43:14 +0000 anne 1931487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jenni (how have I beat you?) Rachy and Staysfit.&nbsp; </p> <p>DD didn't elaborate (it was morning and she's nearly 15! A girl of few words at that time of the day)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---armani#post-1931485 Mon, 25 Jun 2018 02:34:17 +0000 Staysfit 1931485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s hard for me to see detail, but the silhouette is very nice. I’m imagining the seaming and that only improves my impression. Why doesn’t DD like it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---armani#post-1931478 Mon, 25 Jun 2018 02:18:59 +0000 rachylou 1931478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---armani#post-1931477 Mon, 25 Jun 2018 02:15:00 +0000 Jenni NZ 1931477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woo hoo! You beat me there Anne. Looks good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---armani#post-1931473 Mon, 25 Jun 2018 02:07:50 +0000 anne 1931473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MOST unusual for me to be wearing designer clothing.</p> <p>This dress is a handed down item (new for me - I have just been given a bunch but I'll spread out showing them all to you). It is 100% wool - I think it might be called boiled wool.</p> <p>I know design details are hard to show in black so you are basically looking at the silhouette  - The bodice is princess seamed with a few gathers under the waist on each side.</p> <p>DDs not impressed but I kind of like it</p> <p>Any input welcome </p>
