A black dress can easily look sombre (suitable for funerals), but the espadrilles is a cute and fun addition. So are the earrings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic/page/2#post-1954219 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 06:58:36 +0000 Gigi 1954219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit. The espadrilles were a great choice.</p> <p>I don't think the dress looks sacklike at all. I think that the lines work very well on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic/page/2#post-1954179 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 01:47:39 +0000 cindysmith 1954179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sack-like at all.

Midi shift dress</p> <p> was a good choice for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886995 Wed, 07 Feb 2018 10:12:18 +0000 jussie 1886995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jane and Angie:<br /> Thanks both of you very much. Actually this is probably going to be a new favorite.... and yet so simple! Not like me at all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886609 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 16:25:13 +0000 Angie 1886609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER hot Summer look sans a/c. You are Queen Espadrille and wear them with panache, <b>Jussie</b>.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886473 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 07:23:06 +0000 Jane 1886473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks great on you. I like the details of the hem, neck and sleeves - not sack like in the least. I think a belt could look good, and a hat could look great with the side pony tail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886470 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 06:49:31 +0000 jussie 1886470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Delurked: thank you!! This dress was at Target actually and it also came in Cobalt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886321 Mon, 05 Feb 2018 21:47:05 +0000 delurked 1886321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this and would wear all the pieces. I love shift dresses, as long as they aren’t too big. I wish there were more shift dresses that had a sleeve and reached the knee. Bonus points for saturated, non black dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886289 Mon, 05 Feb 2018 20:16:01 +0000 jussie 1886289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet: thank you kindly. You did look fab in that anthro black and white dress you posted the other day! Not a shift, but still, beautiful. I think we all wish we had the opposite of what we have sometimes.... like I’m quite envious of Angie’s pixie cut, pixies are my favorite haircut, however I’ve tried it twice and it looked awful on me lol.<br /> Lyn: thanks very much. The espadrilles are surprisingly very comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886224 Mon, 05 Feb 2018 16:45:43 +0000 Lynn 1886224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love this dress on you. Very cute with the patterned espadrilles and side pony.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886202 Mon, 05 Feb 2018 14:16:34 +0000 Janet 1886202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this dress on you! The openwork detail helps keep the black from looking heavy. All you ladies who can wear shift easily are lucky! It seems like all the coolest, cutest casual dresses are shifts, and it bums me out, because they look horrible on my body type. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886191 Mon, 05 Feb 2018 12:06:44 +0000 jussie 1886191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Katerina: thanks so much </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886189 Mon, 05 Feb 2018 12:01:42 +0000 Katerina 1886189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dress!

Yes the dog is always trying to get in on the action- but he’s so cute I had to let him be in a photo....<br /> Yes- I do really like shift dresses. Always have... fit and flare does my head in.<br /> I agree I could probably justify some sun hats- in fact as a matter of health I should prioritize that. I do borrow my husband’s golf hat if I go for a long walk in the sun, it’s just a navy blue canvas wide brim hat that kinda goes with everything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886177 Mon, 05 Feb 2018 11:20:19 +0000 viva 1886177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love this. I am drawn to shift dresses and this one fits so well that it doesn't look badly sacklike, just like it has an easy fit. The texture of the material is great and those shoes are perfect to add some interest. Wonderful outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886175 Mon, 05 Feb 2018 11:15:30 +0000 LaPed 1886175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a lovely dress, definitely modern classic. I love the ankle strap espadrilles, and your earrings! This is nicely pulled-together but still relaxed and summery.</p> <p>A wide brim hat -- either straw or canvas -- would really suit you! And I think in your climate you can justify some summer hats.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886174 Mon, 05 Feb 2018 10:46:29 +0000 Amy Isabella 1886174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab look - pretty detailing on the dress, great ponytail and nail polish. Oh and an adorable little dog too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886159 Mon, 05 Feb 2018 07:43:46 +0000 Cardiff girl 1886159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the hair!Nice outfit,looks cool in both senses of the word. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886149 Mon, 05 Feb 2018 04:25:45 +0000 Jaime 1886149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not too sack like at all. The v neck and arms and legs give it plenty of structure.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886142 Mon, 05 Feb 2018 03:42:52 +0000 jussie 1886142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>mainelady: thank you so much. Yes some hats would be handy as outfit completers.... however I must stick to my budget </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886126 Mon, 05 Feb 2018 02:20:45 +0000 Mainelady 1886126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF! I really like your hair in the side pony and the details on your dress and your espadrilles keep you from having anything that resembles sacklike. The way you have styled your black looks fresh. I love the idea of a hat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886113 Mon, 05 Feb 2018 01:30:49 +0000 Suz 1886113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is lovely on you! I really like the details on the dress. The sandals are also fun.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think "sack like" is exactly what a summer dress ought to be, if by "sack like" one means loose and easy. It is actually extremely flattering.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886109 Mon, 05 Feb 2018 01:08:34 +0000 jussie 1886109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karen13: a belt! Clever. Literally never thought of it but I have the perfect belt which I will try out. It’s tan suede, thin. Also I was thinking a wide brim hat of some sort could be good too- however not an option at this time as I don’t have any really. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886108 Mon, 05 Feb 2018 01:05:23 +0000 karen13 1886108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shoes and the hem detail make this so cute. While it isn't necessary, have you ever tried a belt? Maybe a bright color or a chain belt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886105 Mon, 05 Feb 2018 00:57:31 +0000 jussie 1886105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sterling, Isabel, Windchime and Suzanimal:<br /> Thanks so very much for your kind feedback. I’m glad that by using a few details here and there the dress avoided looking too unfinished/sacklike/dull. It’s really all about shoes and accessories isn’t it? I do love a good shift dress, though they can be a bit hard to find. And the midi length trend is fun to play with. Also I’ve learned thanks to this thread that it’s called “openwork”. I was going to call it ric rac but I knew that wasn’t right... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886092 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 23:51:41 +0000 Suzanimal 1886092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look.&nbsp;</p> <p>jussie said...</p> <p>&nbsp;<i>Summer dresses present an interesting dilemma because it can be tricky to add even a second, let alone a “third piece”, which is often ideal for a finished look...<br /> <br /></i><br /> <br />Very true but I think you accomplished a finished look here with the details. The hair, the jewelry, the cute shoes...Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886090 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 23:49:45 +0000 Windchime 1886090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a cute dress! The wonderful detail on the hem and sleeves prevent it from ever approaching "sack like."</p> <p>I really like your earrings and your adorable dog, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886087 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 23:40:35 +0000 Anonymous 1886087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the visual coordination of the shoes and the openwork hem. Love that sassy little photo bomber in the corner too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-midi-dress-modern-classic#post-1886084 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 23:35:05 +0000 Anonymous 1886084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Trontogirl. &nbsp;I like the dress on you a lot. &nbsp;The detail along the hem and sleeves is an especially nice touch. &nbsp;I also like the shoes/earrings. &nbsp;Perfect. &nbsp; </p>
