If you have an ivory camisole, it would echo that and let you get another wear in while waiting for a black one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-chic-on-roids#post-1540642 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 19:06:14 +0000 Angie 1540642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're really after a black Second Base Camisole, Michelle. It's a very breezy option - the BEST for this dress. And black is actually best with the trim.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-chic-on-roids#post-1540556 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 14:44:08 +0000 Michelle 1540556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the feedback, guys. I'm so glad it works, because so far I haven't found anything to beat this dress for truly hot, humid weather. <br />Question: I don't actually own a Second Base cami in black, a situation which I need to remedy. The ones I own are either white or ivory. Would either of those work? My sense is that it would be too jarring with the black trim. Thoughts?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-chic-on-roids#post-1540532 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 14:12:30 +0000 Angie 1540532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY. Soooo good to see you and Reva, Michelle. </p> <p>That is a FABULOUS dress for hot weather. Lovely with the necklace and sandals too. Gorgeous pattern and colours. Reto Fab. LOVE.&nbsp;</p> <p>The neckline is a little low so we can see a bit of your bra. A black bra would work better because it camouflages with the pattern. Or one of those Second Base camisoles. But not to worry! It's just a bit of bra and not a boob. You look wonderful.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-chic-on-roids#post-1540529 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 14:06:52 +0000 celia 1540529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Michelle, you look summery in that dress , the colors and print work really well for you.<br /> I just have the same question about the neckline. I does look like your bra is showing ,but maybe it's a cami? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-chic-on-roids#post-1540475 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 11:29:49 +0000 Shelly 1540475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Michelle,<br />I love this dress. It is very pretty and the colours are just lovely. The length is just perfect as well. <br />Perfect for the hot weather you are having. Lucky you. It is still quite cool here in Australia. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-chic-on-roids#post-1540467 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 10:52:07 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1540467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, the colors on that dress are lovely. &nbsp;The deep coral in the floral is perfect with the rich aqua background. &nbsp;It does drape beautifully on you. &nbsp;</p> <p>When it is this hot, I have a tendency to wear shorts that are so loose they almost fall off and a tank. &nbsp;Kudos to you for looking so pretty and polished in the sweltering heat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-chic-on-roids#post-1540463 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 10:34:54 +0000 Style Fan 1540463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this dress on you Michelle.&nbsp; It is very flattering.&nbsp; I agree that it has been very hot after a cool summer.<br />A tailor could fix the neckline for you or a cami.&nbsp; The right cami might be hard to find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-chic-on-roids#post-1540438 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 08:05:26 +0000 Ornella 1540438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, your outfit says Summer so clearly! The dress looks great on you. As usual, your attention to small details that bring everything together is spot-on. The brightly coloured handbag reflect one of the colours from the dress, the nail polish another. It's intentional, but not not OTT - simply tasteful and balanced. My favourite thing is how you played with the thin black trimming and the dainty necklace, the sandals are perfect bookending touch - but let's not forget Reva. Your best accessory.<br />It's great to see you posting and to read your fabulous write-ups. You could be describing a potato and still have me excited about every next sentence while the previous one happily echoes in my brain - your way with words always has me glued to the screen.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-chic-on-roids#post-1540415 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 05:28:06 +0000 MsMaven 1540415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely cool looking summer dress and I love it with the black sandals. I don't think I've seen you in anything like this before. I didn't notice the neckline issue until others mentioned it and I went back and looked again. You do look like you've lost some weight. Lovely and a winner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-chic-on-roids#post-1540402 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 04:40:24 +0000 AJ 1540402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a beautiful summer dress! The colors and print scale look lovely on you. You have styled it well with the black accessories and your rose gold bag.</p> <p>I agree with Aliona that a trip to the tailor to keep the neckline in place is all that this fabulous dress needs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-chic-on-roids#post-1540396 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 04:20:02 +0000 Meow 1540396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of my favorite looks from you! Really cute. And kudos to you for putting on clothes (any clothes) in the hot weather! I just want to sit naked in front of a fan! lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-chic-on-roids#post-1540389 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 03:55:47 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1540389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with everyone - the shape, fit and length of this dress is wonderful on you! I can't describe the colors any better than what has already been done, other than to echo that it is beautiful! I think that the black shoes and jewelry definitely play up the black edging on this dress. That is a wonderful detail. I also like that you could dress it down for a cool, casual look if you wore nude sandals and barely there looking accessories in whites or beiges, or fine, thin metal. It is so great that you can get several different looks with this dress - especially since it is so hot that you may want to live in it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-chic-on-roids#post-1540388 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 03:45:14 +0000 Anonymous 1540388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a lovely dress, Michelle, and the colours really suit you. The floral print is very nice too, more elegant and unusual than typical florals, and I like the black piping. I find that dresses in this crossover style tend to show my bra, too. It's something about my particular physique: the dress will be fine when I put it on, but will ride down or open in front after a while. I love this style of dress, though, so I usually have a tailor stitch it closed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-chic-on-roids#post-1540384 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 03:31:38 +0000 Deborah 1540384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle this is very pretty and I love the pattern and colours. I don't think it's skimpy at all. Your bra is showing at the bottom centre point of your cleavage but I think it's a very personal choice about being comfortable or otherwise with that. I don't like my bra showing at all so not ok for me. It's doesn't look bad or wrong:) but I do think the lines of the cross over are cleaner with the bra not on show. Just my thoughts ;). You look really gorgeous in the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-chic-on-roids#post-1540369 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 03:14:46 +0000 Peri 1540369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is beautiful and it looks great on you! I had the same question about the cami vs bra issue, so if you don't have on a camisole I do think it needs one. But overall, very pretty dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-chic-on-roids#post-1540367 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 03:11:12 +0000 Maneera 1540367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dress. Good to see you and Reva again! </p> <p>The dress has a cool, summery retro feel and the colour plus print flatters you very much. Are you wearing a camisole inside this dress? Like Sveta, I see something peaking at the deep V. </p> <p>The crossover style front really really flatters your body, Michelle. This is a lovely dress indeed, and you look gorgeous in it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-chic-on-roids#post-1540356 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 02:42:01 +0000 Carla 1540356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for this dress. I'm on and iPad and note after a little time on a big computer that pics translate differently on my device. Like Joy noted, the ground for the print looks turquoise, which gives it a retro feel. The whole is very flattering to your colouring. I like the black accessories and gold bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-chic-on-roids#post-1540354 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 02:31:28 +0000 Anonymous 1540354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So good to see you posting, Michelle. I am on a mini iPad and cannot see the photo well enough to comment on the fit at the neckline, but the print is just beautiful. It looks like flowers in shades of pink against a blue-green background on my pad. The colors are vivid to midtone, not pale, and the dark trim adds intensity to the color. The floral looks realistic, not blurry or abstract. Your shoes and bag look perfect with the dress, the straps on your shoes echoing the black trim on the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-chic-on-roids#post-1540353 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 02:27:41 +0000 Sveta 1540353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Michelle, nice to see you again! And Reva too!<br />I LOVE this dress on you! It is alluring and tasteful. The neckline is super flattering for you and the colors are fresh and summery. Well done!<br />The only question I have: are you wearing a cami under this dress? &nbsp;It looks in the picture as you bra is showing a bit in the neckline but maybe it is just a picture?<br />It has been hot lately after pretty cool weather we had for the most of the summer - and they promise the heat wave - yuk! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-chic-on-roids#post-1540348 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 02:11:57 +0000 Michelle 1540348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello lovely ladies. I'm still alive despite the kind of sticky, hot weather that makes me want to relocate to a polar ice cap. On a particularly sweltering evening when I headed out for an impromptu ice coffee date with a friend, this is what I chose to wear.<br /> This dress felt too skimpy when I first tried it on, but I've obviously lost some weight since then because it no longer gapes open at the bust. In weather like this, the amount of skin I'm showing no longer feels excessive, but please do tell me if I've misjudged this. The green, pink, orange and ivory print sounded cute when it was first described to me, but I'd welcome your perception of it. The fabric is silky and light while still feeling substantial enough to drape. And the black trim along the shoulder straps and crossover neckline prompted to me to break out some old, rarely used black summer accessories. I'm hoping that simple slingback sandals and the sparkly beads work with this. They're both feather light, so there's that. </p>
