As I think the slip is perfect for the dress. Both dresses look very good on you. What a good idea to wear those booties with them. Makes the look very modern. I am always too scared to do this.<br />Greetje </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dresses-my-slip-is-showing#post-1489788 Sun, 10 May 2015 13:47:25 +0000 jackiec 1489788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally I LOVE the extender dress, even more than the magic dress, but that's just me. Both look great. Here's to those awesome booties (wish they worked for me) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dresses-my-slip-is-showing#post-1489704 Sun, 10 May 2015 07:42:26 +0000 lyn67 1489704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Una in dresses:-). Magic dress is magcal:-)). Love the ideea of a tule underskirt better than the lace hem for you.

Looking good in both iterations though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dresses-my-slip-is-showing#post-1489412 Sat, 09 May 2015 13:19:55 +0000 Diana 1489412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Magic dress is always a winner! I like the other too, but I can see that it's not quite you. More... Me, maybe? I actually did something similar recently with my striped sweater skirt and a (regular) slip that I liked. I've also done it with a very light weight chiffon skirt, so you might want to try that instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dresses-my-slip-is-showing#post-1489408 Sat, 09 May 2015 13:13:57 +0000 Beth Ann 1489408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's great to see a dress with such a long fashion life --- it still looks terrific after several years.&nbsp; Wearing it simply, with strong, but shiny, booties is a perfect styling choice.</p> <p>An extender with a plain georgette or silk ruffle might work better for your style. Love the idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dresses-my-slip-is-showing#post-1489353 Sat, 09 May 2015 10:52:59 +0000 Ledonna N. 1489353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand why 1 is the magic dress it is beautiful on you. 2 I guess will have to be saved for winter unless you could do an ankle pant or a skinny crop with it. </p> <p>Wh as t I'm really amazed by is the shoes work with both these dresses<br /> I would have thought they would only work with pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dresses-my-slip-is-showing#post-1489349 Sat, 09 May 2015 10:29:58 +0000 Karin L H 1489349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first dress looks great!

The dress and your booties are edgy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dresses-my-slip-is-showing#post-1489330 Sat, 09 May 2015 07:39:53 +0000 approprio 1489330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the extender slip a lot, I don't think it looks twee at all. I've done this with brightly coloured silk satin and with chiffon. It's a nice way to add a couple of inches. </p> <p>And the magic dress does what it says on the tin. Can't go wrong with a wrap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dresses-my-slip-is-showing#post-1489322 Sat, 09 May 2015 06:42:50 +0000 Deborah 1489322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear dresses well, I love both of these. &nbsp;I love the slip extender idea and for ages I have been wanting a slip with layered tulle. I know it's bit girly for me but I just think it would look really cool falling below the hemline of some of my dresses. &nbsp;I could imagine a tulle hemline looking very good with that second dress </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dresses-my-slip-is-showing#post-1489308 Sat, 09 May 2015 05:03:45 +0000 catgirl 1489308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was named the magic dress on the forum because it worked on so many of us and was in so many prints and colors! I wish I had gotten more. I sold one here because the colors weren't working for me. MsMary has at least one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dresses-my-slip-is-showing#post-1489307 Sat, 09 May 2015 04:57:34 +0000 Anonymous 1489307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woah - I need a Magic Dress. This is stunning on you - the colours! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dresses-my-slip-is-showing#post-1489305 Sat, 09 May 2015 04:46:24 +0000 Suz 1489305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The magic dress is exactly what its name describes. It's a miracle item. Wow.&nbsp;</p> <p>And I really like the look of the extender in the photo, but I do understand how it might not feel quite "you" in some way. I might get the same feeling, even though visually from a distance at least it totally works.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dresses-my-slip-is-showing#post-1489292 Sat, 09 May 2015 04:00:56 +0000 Anonymous 1489292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I accidentally did the slip extender at a family party. My half slip ( black with several inches of lace on the bottom), slipped down so that the lace hung below my black skirt. My sister said it looked like it was supposed to be that way, or maybe she was just saving my feelings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dresses-my-slip-is-showing#post-1489285 Sat, 09 May 2015 03:41:09 +0000 catgirl 1489285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second dress is actually a flimsy rayon so not heavy at all.&nbsp; The slip is specially made for this with a long double hem of lace.&nbsp; I got it at a local boutique but just looked it up - apparently they are called extender slips and here's a website that shows how cute (but perhaps more twee in a good way) they can be. </p> <a href="http://www.aslipshop.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.aslipshop.com/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dresses-my-slip-is-showing#post-1489274 Sat, 09 May 2015 03:16:23 +0000 Karie 1489274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The magic dress looks great. Fun pattern. </p> <p>I like the idea of using a slip to lengthen a too short dress. Do you just use any slip with a lace hem or is this a particular brand/style?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dresses-my-slip-is-showing#post-1489265 Sat, 09 May 2015 02:47:00 +0000 cloud9 1489265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe it's the incongruency between the winter heavy fabric and the light and thin lace? Looks good from a distance on the pic though. Makes the dress more fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dresses-my-slip-is-showing#post-1489255 Sat, 09 May 2015 02:29:02 +0000 Peri 1489255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I;ve been wondering what the magic dress was! I've seen you mention it but hadn't seen it before. I love the colors and the pattern!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dresses-my-slip-is-showing#post-1489251 Sat, 09 May 2015 02:23:35 +0000 catgirl 1489251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just realized I wore these patent booties all week, with both pants and dresses.&nbsp; First,&nbsp;the outfit I think was a win: the Nine West Magic dress.&nbsp; This is as close as I'll get to a DVF look, and it worked well for going from work to birthday drinks with girlfriends.</p> <p>Second, a F21 shift dress.&nbsp; I wore this a&nbsp;lot all winter with tights, but this morning DH felt it was too short with bare legs.&nbsp; So I threw on this slip I'd gotten a while back that is meant to show as an underlayer&nbsp;and lengthen dress or skirt length.&nbsp; I got the okay from my fashion friend at work, but I didn't feel quite like myself - guess lace is not my thing.</p> <p>Feedback welcome!</p>
