This is nice, but I have to admit I don't quite see it as being you.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-a-great-summer-dress#post-937136 Mon, 20 May 2013 16:23:01 +0000 Anonymous 937136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it too. A lot. I think this type of dress would look amazing on your smaller frame. My issue is that the maxi dresses tend to exaggerate my wider hips but I am still looking. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-a-great-summer-dress#post-937134 Mon, 20 May 2013 16:21:07 +0000 Raisin 937134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm still on the fence, Zap...I do really like it. I even considered hemming it if I find the full length too cumbersome. But I'm not sure how that would look. Still thinking....lol, all decisions are hard for me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-a-great-summer-dress#post-937129 Mon, 20 May 2013 16:19:31 +0000 Anonymous 937129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love it, but I should disclose that I always look for a maxi dress every summer to no avail. Maybe this will be my year. Are you going to give it a shot? <br />A side note on GAP and ON: Sometimes the fabrics are too see thru and flimsy for them to work. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-a-great-summer-dress#post-937127 Mon, 20 May 2013 16:17:27 +0000 Thistle 937127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Looks like you might be set already, but like the others, i question the practicality of the white top (the bottom pattern is terrific camouflage!). Also, Maxi dresses seem great, but I wonder about them with little ones.<br /><br />A midi skirt might be better.<br /><br />Before I invested in a maxi like this, you might want to test drive a less expensive one from Target or Old Navy.&nbsp; See if they work for you at all, and if they do, then donate it and upgrade.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-a-great-summer-dress#post-936946 Mon, 20 May 2013 11:48:42 +0000 Raisin 936946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No I haven't seen them. Thanks Karie, those might be more practical! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-a-great-summer-dress#post-936935 Mon, 20 May 2013 10:54:11 +0000 Karie 936935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it would make a great summer dress, but I also wonder about the practicality of it for your lifestyle. Old Navy, Gap, and BR all have some really nice fit and flare and A-line summer knee length&nbsp;dresses, have you checked those out? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-a-great-summer-dress#post-936453 Sun, 19 May 2013 16:18:17 +0000 Mia 936453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress and I'm sure it would suit you however I do wonder if it's more in the "imaginary life" category knowing what I do about your lifestyle right now. I can really see your figure in one of those striped tank dresses that are out there right now and at some great price points. Gap had some in the window that I intend to check out.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-a-great-summer-dress#post-936445 Sun, 19 May 2013 16:07:00 +0000 Raisin 936445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ No, you are right Suz, I thought of that too. &nbsp;I think midi length would be more practical around kids, especially since the youngest is always climbing up my leg.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-a-great-summer-dress#post-936443 Sun, 19 May 2013 16:06:08 +0000 Ingunn 936443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it would be really cute on you! However, I also question the practicality of this dress, particularly around kids. But that's me, this might work just fine for you. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-a-great-summer-dress#post-936422 Sun, 19 May 2013 15:32:34 +0000 Suz 936422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it would look good on you...but I am wondering about practicality if it's a casual dress for with the kids? I somehow think I would get a long skirt all caught up and messed around...but that is perhaps me and my clumsiness talking!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-a-great-summer-dress#post-936420 Sun, 19 May 2013 15:30:43 +0000 Kristin L 936420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think that would be cute on you. What's the return policy of the seller if you get it and decide it's not you? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-a-great-summer-dress#post-936415 Sun, 19 May 2013 15:25:03 +0000 Scarlet 936415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can imagine this being really cute on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-a-great-summer-dress#post-936387 Sun, 19 May 2013 14:41:22 +0000 Angie 936387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have poison eye for casual maxis, so bare that in mind - (one on a list of 4 poison eye items in total). They just don't make sense to me however you slice and dice it. That said, I love high-low casual maxis because the front looks like a midi, and to my eye that makes all the difference in the world.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-a-great-summer-dress#post-936372 Sun, 19 May 2013 14:19:01 +0000 donnat 936372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This dress is really cute. &nbsp;I think maxis are becoming more on trend this year.<br />The dress has a casual, kind of elegant feel, great for the hot weather. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-a-great-summer-dress#post-936351 Sun, 19 May 2013 13:37:04 +0000 Raisin 936351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've noticed that all the dresses I won are not "me", which is probably why I don't wear them much. &nbsp;The colors and patterns don't really fit my style. &nbsp;So I don't really have a specific style or shape in mind, but I came across this one, and liked the B&amp;W with the chevron pattern. &nbsp;I also like that the top is solid, not chevron all the way up. &nbsp;It's look comfy for summer, but are maxi's way out of style now? &nbsp;I have no idea. &nbsp;I also like some of the fit and flares out there, so maybe one long and one short would be good?<br /><br />Ella Moss Lila dress<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.shopbop.com/lila-sleeveless-maxi-dress-ella/vp/v=1/1559560743.htm?folderID=2534374302155172&amp;fm=other-shopbysize-viewall&amp;colorId=12867#reviewsArea">http://www.shopbop.com/lila-sl.....3743021551</a><br />
