You know what, I don't remember you having short legs, so clearly leg lengthening isn't the end-all and be-all. :)</p> <p>Thanks Gigi and Shevia!</p> <p>Scarlet, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for us. :)</p> <p>Thanks Hil!</p> <p>Thanks Manidipa! That's really interesting. And I would have agreed that it didn't look as good without the green scarf, but I wasn't sure why. </p> <p>Thanks Susie!</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stumpifying#post-1155682 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 13:21:32 +0000 Susie 1155682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see stumpy legs! I think the overall look is quite nice on you. And I have always loved your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stumpifying#post-1155632 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 09:23:55 +0000 ManidipaM 1155632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, as you can imagine, my eye is trained culturally to see these dress over pants proportions as the usual. </p> <p>So to me this looks like a fresh and unexpected version of Angie's formula shown the other day. Love the green scarf to provide contrast and bring the eye back up from the unusual choice of pants! V fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stumpifying#post-1155624 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 07:37:36 +0000 Hil 1155624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit on you Astrid! What a lovely hand-me-down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stumpifying#post-1155621 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 06:48:30 +0000 Scarlet 1155621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Astrid, for myself I just think it needs some lightening up and reshaping around my face. I have grown out my fringe, and it is at an awkward length where I tend to push it behind my ears. Add to that I have been using a middle part lately, and the effect is quite stodgy. If I had more time to style my hair and not let it get flattened by a hat it wouldn't be so bad, but a good haircut does a lot of the work for me. Let's hope we both get good haircuts </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stumpifying#post-1155433 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 02:19:44 +0000 Jaime 1155433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good to me - I would have never thought stumpifying at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stumpifying#post-1155397 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 01:07:46 +0000 Gigi 1155397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think the outfit looks stumpifying. But I suppose it would help to see a pic of the same outfit but with black leggings for comparison.</p> <p>The dress is very pretty! I love the design work on it.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stumpifying#post-1155318 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 22:56:04 +0000 E 1155318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress and how you styled it! Not stumpifying at all, but then I'm not focused on leg lengthening looks myself (I already have short legs, both literally and proportionally, and often cuff my trousers or add lots of horizontal breaks, and feel good. hehe) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stumpifying#post-1155224 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 20:19:51 +0000 Astrid 1155224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Scarlet! The hat wearing is definitely a factor. Do you go for a bigger change, or just some small adjustments?</p> <p>Thanks Thistle! Yes, black leggings would have been the most flattering, I agree. I think the pants go well with it because the color of the pants repeats in the pattern of the dress (it's more visible IRL). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stumpifying#post-1155213 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 20:11:25 +0000 Thistle 1155213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress!&nbsp; I will admit I would partial to black leggings underneath, but the red is fun and unexpected! (And not stumpifying, just not what I had expected).</p> <p></p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stumpifying#post-1155210 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 20:08:33 +0000 Scarlet 1155210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that dress. Actually, the proportions work to my eye. I don't see stumpy at all.&nbsp;<br />I just made a hair appointment and I also can't wait. I think it's probably wearing a hat all the time though that is making me think I need a haircut </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stumpifying#post-1155194 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 19:53:20 +0000 Astrid 1155194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Krish! Maybe it's all in my mind... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stumpifying#post-1155164 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 19:10:23 +0000 krishnidoux 1155164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute dress! Where is the stompification? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stumpifying#post-1155145 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 18:49:07 +0000 Astrid 1155145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Greyscale! It's printed. Very comfortable cotton that doesn't crease, it's perfect in summer even though it is black. My mum bought it in Portugal when she was seventeen. And yes, I've worn this dress with tights and oxfords or ballet flats before. </p> <p>Thanks Kelly! You're right, I haven't worn it as much lately. But I still love it, even though I'm thinking about altering the pleats. Should have had that done a long time ago. It's just too "babydoll" for my figure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stumpifying#post-1155130 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 18:38:13 +0000 kellygirl 1155130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that dress! I haven't seen it in awhile and it looks terrific in this iteration. I don't think it looks stumpifying at all. If anything, it makes your legs look longer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stumpifying#post-1155123 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 18:33:46 +0000 Greyscale 1155123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is such a cool dress!! Is it printed or embroidered? It's cool that it's a hand-me-down because that sort of pattern looks very current right now.</p> <p>I think it works. In warmer weather you could do the same combo but with flats or pumps to elongate your legs - or oxfords or low ankle boots. Or red tights instead of pants?&nbsp;You're right that the boot/pant combo does feel a tiny bit stumpifying here but it's still an awesome outfit and I like the dress over pants effect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stumpifying#post-1155115 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 18:25:51 +0000 Astrid 1155115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! I don't have long legs though, I can wear regular cropped pants as full length ones most of the time (being borderline petite). But of course I'm happy when it looks that way. The dress is hand-me-down from my mum.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stumpifying#post-1155090 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 17:44:32 +0000 MuseumGal 1155090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually don't think it's particularly stumpifying - your legs are long enough to carry this off.&nbsp; Pretty dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stumpifying#post-1155072 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 17:22:14 +0000 Astrid 1155072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's been a while since I've worn anything remotely interesting, so I thought I'd show you this "stumpifying" outfit. I would have preferred a lower contrast between pants and boots, but I didn't want to wear slouchy pants underneath the dress. Does it look alright? </p> <p>Oh and I have an appointment for the hair for next Wednesday! Can't wait. </p>
