It's the white background that I think gives this dress the brightness that is so different for me. Someone suggested trying to overdye it if I tire of the whiteness. An intriguing idea!<br /><b>MsKatieKat</b>, I do think the shape is avant-garde or arty. That's a lot of what drew me to the design.<br /><b>sparks</b>, thank you! I don't feel stalked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wildcard-goes-to-work#post-1317670 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 12:44:16 +0000 Jaime 1317670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good - I love those booties every time you wear them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wildcard-goes-to-work#post-1317591 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 06:39:16 +0000 sparks 1317591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. I actually think this is the best outfit I've ever seen you in (sorry that sounds stalkerish). Great styling and fab dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wildcard-goes-to-work#post-1317576 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 05:18:53 +0000 Neel 1317576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress on you Firecracker! And the way you have styled it here is fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wildcard-goes-to-work#post-1317572 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 05:12:03 +0000 Sal 1317572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. &nbsp;You do suit the colours too although I think I mostly see you in darker more muted tones.<br />I love the booties with it, they provide a modern edge.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wildcard-goes-to-work#post-1317568 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 05:05:40 +0000 MsLuna 1317568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow that is such a gorgeous outfit on you! I love the romantic vibe of the florals yet somehow, there's a bit of an avant-garde element to it (maybe avant-garde isn't the right word?). Regardless, the outfit is so unique and despite it being a wildcard, it's still very you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wildcard-goes-to-work#post-1317554 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 04:41:52 +0000 Anonymous 1317554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So very pretty. And my eye was drawn up right away to that face framing ruffle around the collar. That works so beautifully with your hair. &nbsp;I am in awe , again, still, of your dressmaking skills. If you lived closer, you'd have a client. &nbsp;The peep toe boots are great with it too... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wildcard-goes-to-work#post-1317546 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 04:32:50 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1317546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! </p> <p>I wore the collar this way, after your guidance on my other post, and I'm liking it. If I make this dress again, I'd like to try putting wire in the collar. I have a dress with that detail and I really like it. <b>Rachylou</b>, you are a hoot, as always, with your insights: space-age and Renaissance! <b>Fieldmouse</b>, I wouldn't have thought of regal, either, but I kind of see it--probably in the collar, but maybe also in the shape of the dress.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wildcard-goes-to-work#post-1317216 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 22:02:47 +0000 rachylou 1317216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's something about this outfit - it's like a space-age take on the Renaissance. I really like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wildcard-goes-to-work#post-1317212 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 21:57:29 +0000 unfrumped 1317212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those booties are perfect with your dress. And the face-framing collar style is so pretty, but still looks airy and summery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wildcard-goes-to-work#post-1317123 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 19:23:55 +0000 Tanya 1317123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a stunning dress!

But lo and behold, the weather promises us an 80 degree day today.</p> <p>The outfit:<br />Floral print linen dress (made by me); white cardigan (Nic &amp; Zoe); metallic cut-out peep-toe booties (Paul Green, Tacey).</p> <p>Thanks for helping me with my original post on this dress, and thanks for looking today! Any comments and suggestions are welcome.</p> <p> </p>
