No need to change. The cardigan is great, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sparkly-dress-blush-cardi-and-alteration-question#post-1761137 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 21:55:19 +0000 Brooklyn 1761137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a really pretty dress on you. I vote keep the stripes also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sparkly-dress-blush-cardi-and-alteration-question#post-1761124 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 20:54:31 +0000 harmonica 1761124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone! </p> <p>As you so wisely pointed out, the stripes make a subtle focal point. I see it now and I like the effect. I'd rather wear a necklace that made the same effect, but sadly the last years necklaces always give me a headache. It is what it is, so I'll leave the stripes as is. :-)</p> <p>I have several long cardis and some jackets/ blazers that go with the dress. I like it best when I dress it down. Somehow I don't feel like wearing it to a party because it is so «obviously festive», if that makes sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sparkly-dress-blush-cardi-and-alteration-question#post-1761065 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 17:26:58 +0000 lpr200 1761065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the black stripes! Could you pair with a black jacket as well? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sparkly-dress-blush-cardi-and-alteration-question#post-1761060 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 16:47:06 +0000 Anonymous 1761060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the four black stripes. I think they're a nice detail.<br /> Dress look great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sparkly-dress-blush-cardi-and-alteration-question#post-1761058 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 16:33:25 +0000 Bennett 1761058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say keep the stripes, they draw attention to your face in a subtle way, without the need for a necklace. </p> <p>If you want to wear necklaces instead, then the stripes should go. </p> <p>I would wear as is, adding a big ole' maximal bracelet on one wrist and one big ole' fabulous cocktail ring on the other hand. </p> <p>This is a lucky thrift store find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sparkly-dress-blush-cardi-and-alteration-question#post-1761032 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 15:10:14 +0000 em 1761032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the stripes add an interest at the neckline. I might chance it IF you have a variety of necklaces that you would rather use as an interest, instead.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sparkly-dress-blush-cardi-and-alteration-question#post-1761027 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 15:02:07 +0000 Anonymous 1761027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with El Cee, I'm not sure the stripes could be safely removed. Great cardigan as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sparkly-dress-blush-cardi-and-alteration-question#post-1761020 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 14:16:50 +0000 El Cee 1761020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a cute dress... and the fit is great. Regarding the question of removing the four stripes, I would be concerned that doing so might leave stitch marks on the fabric. I would probably leave the dress "as is".</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sparkly-dress-blush-cardi-and-alteration-question#post-1761011 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 12:24:47 +0000 harmonica 1761011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This sparkly dress was found at a thrift store and has been my grab-and-go dress. It's surprising because sparkly items usually get orphaned (even if I'm drawn to the idea of everyday sparkles). The dress is incredably comfy. :-)</p> <p>Question: would you remove the four black stripes at the neckline? </p>
