I like Kari's link. As an apple I have to try not to obsess about my stomach too, but yours is absolutely tiny! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unsure-if-i-can-wear-this/page/2#post-994994 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 06:31:33 +0000 Hil 994994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look pretty amazing in that dress and I am so glad you wore it and loved it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unsure-if-i-can-wear-this/page/2#post-994991 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 06:17:33 +0000 lyn* 994991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the forums, Jeanie The awards are recognition that we can give for your answer; I thanked you for sharing your wisdom with me.

I might try an obi belt.</p> <p>@ Marley - Thanks! It was a lovely time. Dessert was cheesecake! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unsure-if-i-can-wear-this#post-994965 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 05:13:05 +0000 Marley 994965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah!&nbsp; I'm glad to hear that you wore it and didn't think about your non-existent-in-your-head-belly-problems!&nbsp; :-)&nbsp; You have a beautiful woman's body - and this dress really shows it off!&nbsp; I say, wear&nbsp;the dress&nbsp;as much as possible and show off&nbsp;your curves!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unsure-if-i-can-wear-this#post-994964 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 05:12:16 +0000 rachylou 994964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it's interesting. The first pic, it falls beautifully but then not in the others. Maybe a slip instead of spanx?</p> <p>A thought: what does it look like without the belt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unsure-if-i-can-wear-this#post-994961 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 05:06:35 +0000 lyn* 994961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sure did! I wore it and had a blast too, and didn't really remember my belly problems :p </p> <p>I have a spanx bottom, but I find that it just squishes everything else somewhere else, so I have like side bulge or some other issue. :p</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unsure-if-i-can-wear-this#post-994960 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 05:05:16 +0000 Jeanie 994960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It could be the fabric. &nbsp;Have you tried one of those Spanx skirt slips? &nbsp;I hear they are good for our belly curves but I haven't tried it yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unsure-if-i-can-wear-this#post-994959 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 05:03:26 +0000 Marley 994959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey lyn - did you wear it tonight when you went out to dinner?&nbsp; I think that overall it is very elegant on you with a touch of "sexy" - but I can see some funky draping in the front that I'm wondering about if its actually there IRL?&nbsp; HowEVER, since you can't return the dress even if you wanted to, I say wear it and enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unsure-if-i-can-wear-this#post-994957 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 04:56:07 +0000 lyn* 994957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tee hee, well, since it came without a tag and the company is very strict about having tags to return, I guess it's mine to keep. :p</p> <p>Perhaps I can keep it to wear when I am pregs? HAHA. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unsure-if-i-can-wear-this#post-994954 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 04:51:41 +0000 rachylou 994954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm gonna be the nay sayer. You so don't have a food baby, but the dress doesn't hang right, it's true. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unsure-if-i-can-wear-this#post-994931 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 04:10:13 +0000 Anonymous 994931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks good. You are a woman, women have bellies.&nbsp;But like Raisin said, if you are uncomfortable enough that you wouldn't wear it then send it back.. you could also try to size up or wear spanx.&nbsp; Even with spanx&nbsp;, though it tightens things up and smooths it wouldn't change your shape.&nbsp; I also noticed some puckering around the belt.&nbsp; Can you loosen the belt a tiny bit?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unsure-if-i-can-wear-this#post-994806 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 01:59:16 +0000 KathyL 994806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great on you. I really liked Kari's article. I definitely have issues with the way my belly looks too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unsure-if-i-can-wear-this#post-994800 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 01:54:24 +0000 JulieJohn 994800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it. Understated sexy, like a hot librarian. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unsure-if-i-can-wear-this#post-994776 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 01:36:56 +0000 Raisin 994776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find these type of skirt/dresses seem to hug that little curve of the belly. So if you're not comfortable in it and you think you won't wear it, no sense in keeping it. However, with all honesty I think most some have that little swell and it's very womanly and sexy looking. You do look fabulous in it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unsure-if-i-can-wear-this#post-994751 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 01:19:14 +0000 Kristin L 994751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the dress looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unsure-if-i-can-wear-this#post-994733 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 01:04:44 +0000 Beth Ann 994733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are made with three dimensions, not two!&nbsp; Flat is for paper dolls!</p> <p>I think the dress is elegant and understated, and I love the soft addition of the red cardi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unsure-if-i-can-wear-this#post-994724 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 00:57:38 +0000 Glory 994724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn you look very elegant in this.

It looks really nice on you if you can get over it. And if you do, tell <i>me</i> how to get over it because that is the one place on my body that I'm not happy about. Well the main one, anyway! I need to go read Kari's link.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unsure-if-i-can-wear-this#post-994708 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 00:42:22 +0000 Nicole D 994708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wear it! &nbsp;Looks tres chic on you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unsure-if-i-can-wear-this#post-994700 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 00:38:29 +0000 lyn* 994700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ Rae - Maybe I'll wear it around friends and not around people who would poke my belly and state why am I so fat.</p> <p>@ Cobalt - HAHA. My mom thinks ANYTHING is a baby, she was checking my multivitamins to make sure they had enough folic acid (JUST IN CASE YOU KNOW) - hahaha, poor thing. This dress arrived without tags, so no returns! HAHAHA. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unsure-if-i-can-wear-this#post-994692 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 00:30:35 +0000 cobaltblue 994692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just don't wear it around your mom. Wasn't she politely requesting a grandbaby recently? :)</p> <p>Joking aside, I think you look great. But my motto is that any reservations you have about a garment usually grow after you cut the tags. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unsure-if-i-can-wear-this#post-994688 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 00:25:46 +0000 rae 994688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehe, Lyn, my sister and I call ours "food babies." I don't think it looks bad on you, but I know how it is. You have to decide if you will be too uncomfortable to wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unsure-if-i-can-wear-this#post-994641 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 23:50:08 +0000 lyn* 994641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is quite comfy and I do really like it, which is weird for this style - I thought I'd be more adventurous and try it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unsure-if-i-can-wear-this#post-994637 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 23:45:53 +0000 Transcona Shannon 994637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As long as it's comfy, then I say go for it.</p> <p>My guess is the fabrication coupled with the angle of your stance is making it look different than it does IRL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unsure-if-i-can-wear-this#post-994630 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 23:41:26 +0000 lyn* 994630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tar har ... I dunno... *rub belly* I don't call it my pee baby for nothing.</p> <p>Hmm, I don't find the dress snug, and it's actually a bit loose on top. No problems with the sit test, either. Maybe it's an issue with fabrication? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unsure-if-i-can-wear-this#post-994627 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 23:39:59 +0000 Kari 994627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, that dress is all kinds of gorgeous on you. </p> <p>Please give this a read if you haven't already.<br /> <a href="http://www.insideoutstyleblog.com/2011/06/why-do-we-hate-our-stomachs-so-much.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.insideoutstyleblog......-much.html</a> </p>
