Alterations were inexpensive all the same, I paid 5€ for the two darts in the back. I take care to keep my alterations simple and the place doesn't do anything customised anyway. It's all taking in and shortening of hems. If it's a bigger alteration and the garment is lined she usually takes 5€ in addition for the lining. But I think the most I have ever paid is 20€, for a coat. It helps that we're in Berlin and that I'm a regular customer... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-floral-summer-dress/page/2#post-1694662 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 02:39:46 +0000 Sally 1694662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty. Great that you could get it altered. Is it lined? I'm thinking of getting a few of my dresses altered. The lady said that lining would make a difference to the cost. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-floral-summer-dress/page/2#post-1694658 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 02:25:20 +0000 Maneera 1694658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So so pretty &lt;3 You look gorgeous in florals, Astrid.

The cotton lining will be nice and cool for summer but I bet that print could be worn other seasons too with a jacket or sweater. Love the green ring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-floral-summer-dress/page/2#post-1693855 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 11:15:34 +0000 Helen11 1693855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, so pretty! &nbsp;<br />and what Sisi said : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-floral-summer-dress/page/2#post-1693825 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 09:10:16 +0000 Astrid 1693825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! :)</p> <p>@BethAnn<br /> I can really picture it in my mind... </p> <p>I'm not sure yet what I'm going to pack, I still have a bit of time to think about it. Maybe I'll do another travel post. We will go by car so I can theoretically pack more, but I have to lug everything across Germany by train to start with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-floral-summer-dress#post-1693819 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 07:08:05 +0000 MomOfThree1980 1693819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the print and fit of the dress, great find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-floral-summer-dress#post-1693790 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 03:48:23 +0000 Amy 1693790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a pretty dress!

As Sisi said, this dress can go anywhere. It looks like it can also work with a jacket for spring and fall too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-floral-summer-dress#post-1693776 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 02:57:50 +0000 Beth Ann 1693776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a bold floral on a dark background! &nbsp;I had a dress like this in the 80s. &nbsp;Well, it had big puffy sleeves, a basque waist, and a huge bow on the butt. &nbsp;It was 80's awesome!</p> <p>Certainly, I prefer your updated version, and I know what you mean about the glories of a dress that is lightweight and floaty. &nbsp;This one would look terrific with one of your denim jackets -- are you taking one on your trip? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-floral-summer-dress#post-1693686 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 22:05:21 +0000 kerlyn 1693686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really lovely, Astrid!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-floral-summer-dress#post-1693534 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 16:53:13 +0000 donnat 1693534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks really nice on you.

You can go everywhere with this dress: to work, for a stroll, to a dinner,&nbsp;to theatre, to church .... . </p> <p>It is very pretty and flatters you. Lucky strike!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-floral-summer-dress#post-1693486 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 14:34:22 +0000 Astrid 1693486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Smittie. I'm fortunate that I have such a great place to go to. And she's honest and tells me if something isn't a good idea. I think with time you also get a feeling for it and know which alterations are easy and have a high chance of working out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-floral-summer-dress#post-1693421 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 12:00:00 +0000 Anonymous 1693421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's very nice, Astrid and looks like it fits perfectly. You really make the most of alterations. I am always worried one alteration will beget another.<br /> I too am impressed with the cotton lining! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-floral-summer-dress#post-1693345 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 05:47:59 +0000 Astrid 1693345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Eliza. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-floral-summer-dress#post-1693188 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 23:24:22 +0000 Eliza 1693188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid- this look is great.

Yes, it's practical as well, those are always the best finds...</p> <p>Thanks Rachylou! I love that ring, also for emotional reasons. Good to hear you don't see twee, I'm definitely not aiming for that.</p> <p>Thanks Sally! Yes, I love summer florals with a dark background.</p> <p>Skylurker, thanks! I could never understand why they would make a great linen or cotton summer dress and then line it in polyester... My solution is usually buying unlined dresses (same with skirts). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-floral-summer-dress#post-1693131 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 21:24:22 +0000 skylurker 1693131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks fantastic, Astrid, great choice.
