In fact, I'm trying to figure out why it works; it's not the shoulders, since it doesn't hang. Why does drop-waist work? I'm not sure where it can be found online, but it is really nice and worth a try. It just pulls on and it's made of an easy stretchy fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-the-new-dress/page/2#post-643004 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 03:28:22 +0000 MNsara 643004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wowza!! I can't bring myself to read 45 comments, but my quick scrolling shows overwhleming love for this dress -- and I TOTALLY agree!!</p> <p>Oh this makes me wish I was an IT ;-)</p> <p>SO fab, so versatile, so UNA </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-the-new-dress/page/2#post-642995 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 03:24:54 +0000 catgirl 642995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>melsreturn, you are so right about body issues. Thanks for your kind words. </p> <p>These are the medium brown. I just saw them on sale in a lovely light grey on Amazon, I think. Really versatile shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-the-new-dress/page/2#post-642725 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 20:41:18 +0000 Laura 642725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely love the dress on you! And those legs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-the-new-dress/page/2#post-642719 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 20:23:10 +0000 CocoLion 642719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a Home Run!!! Can you tell I am watching baseball. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-the-new-dress/page/2#post-642699 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 19:21:27 +0000 melindawoodard 642699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for letting me know. I did a search on them. Are they the caramelish brown color? They blend in wonderfully with your skin tone. (I am very fair, they would probably just look brown on me). </p> <p>I had to go back and look at your picture to see what you meant by your legs. They did not stand out in anyway to me when I first saw your picture. When I went back a second and then again a third time, I still cannot see it. I think they are just the right size for you. </p> <p>But I have come to learn that each person has a thing(s) about their body that they hate and love. I used to be obese, and deal with lots of loose skin issues. people look at me and say "but you look fine" and in my heart, I know what I really look like under clothes... and what I could look like if it had not been for the obesity. I've been around ladies who were ten pounds overweight and their struggle felt just as real to them as my 135 extra pounds did to me... its all a matter of perspective, I guess... </p> <p>Back to you, now. Your legs are attractive, I hope you can learn to love and celebrate them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-the-new-dress/page/2#post-642659 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 18:17:47 +0000 catgirl 642659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>melsreturn, they are the Tsubo Acreas, as Mo said. They are supercomfortable and the only heels I own. The back is actually not attached - it's a wide heel strap. They get rave reviews and are well worth the money.</p> <p>You guys, I am SO overwhelmed by the flattering leg comments. I really spent so much of my life hating my legs because of comments from my family (who really don't mean any harm, but as Manidipa said, can say hurtful things in the name of stating "facts"). You all have helped me to see that it's okay to show them and even emphasize them, scarred and skinny as they are. That is so freeing, and I don't even know how to express the gratitude I feel about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-the-new-dress/page/2#post-642580 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 15:42:41 +0000 lyn67 642580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With legs like yours I would wear it all the tiem...(perhaps sleep in it, too:-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-the-new-dress/page/2#post-642536 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 13:45:11 +0000 modgrl 642536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not reading any other responses. Holy cow I LOVE IT on you. </p> <p>Sooo cool. You can winterize it with a jacket, tights and boots too, and wear it as is when you go to HI, CA, or visit your family on the east coast. </p> <p>FABBBBBBB!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-the-new-dress/page/2#post-642512 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 11:15:11 +0000 Mochi 642512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No styling advice, but 34th-ing the observation that your legs are awesome. I really love this cute, breezy dress and it fits you so well. Your son is adorable. I love that pic of the two of you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-the-new-dress/page/2#post-642505 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 10:47:09 +0000 Jjsloane 642505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE IT.You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-the-new-dress/page/2#post-642502 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 10:36:23 +0000 Anonymous 642502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Score! What a cool dress! I love the way the print graduates from black and white at the top to colors at the bottom. I had to look really hard to see the drop waist because it looked like a sheath to me at first. It's a very pretty length on you and makes your legs look shapely. Your son is adorable and has the BEST spikey haircut. Love it! You both have such engaging smiles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-the-new-dress/page/2#post-642495 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 09:24:43 +0000 fashionista 642495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really loved this. I imagine myself wearing this dress with tights and boyfriend blazer in winter. I am in love with this.<br /> I love this on you. Thank god its unreturnable incase you changed your mind for such beautiful dress.<br /> So flattering on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-the-new-dress/page/2#post-642492 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 08:48:04 +0000 Irene 642492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a stunning dress on you!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-the-new-dress/page/2#post-642456 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 05:56:38 +0000 Mo 642456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>melsreturn, I think Una's shoes are Tsubo's. I know she owns a pair, just not positive these are them <a href="http://www.tsubo.com/womens-acrea-most-comfortable-high-heels/8019,default,pd.html?dwvar_8019_color=MIDB&#038;start=6&#038;cgid=women" rel="nofollow">http://www.tsubo.com/womens-ac.....cgid=women</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-the-new-dress/page/2#post-642414 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 03:57:12 +0000 melindawoodard 642414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress! Also, I could not help but notice your shoes. I am searching for a neutral (preferrably fleshtone) versatile shoe that is both comfortable and appealing. May I ask what type/brand/color your shoes are in the picture? I like them... thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-the-new-dress/page/2#post-642404 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 03:36:28 +0000 ManidipaM 642404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BEYOND BELIEF Awesome! Una, I think the minor gods of shopping are making it up to you for not granting your dress wishes more often!</p> <p>And please, never mind your family, stop hiding those legs. (Hey, if I listened to mine early on, my hair would still be up in braids round my head or at least doubled up, and my skin scrubbed raw in an attempt to be 'wheatish' than I was meant to be!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-the-new-dress/page/2#post-642403 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 03:33:04 +0000 Scarlet 642403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just had to chime on too and say how great this looks on you.

I am already picturing winter outfits with my tall purple Docs! But for now, this dress is Hawai'i-bound!</p> <p>I am going to start a separate post on the drop-waist look and when/why it works. I had no idea at all it would work on me. </p> <p>As for my legs, it's ONLY because of YLF that I feel comfortable showing them off - my family always laughed at them because they are so skinny! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-the-new-dress#post-642372 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 02:13:13 +0000 Suz 642372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WHOA!! </p> <p>Just look at you and your gorgeous legs (and gorgeous son!) </p> <p>This dress was made for you.

It's a wolf whistle, coming from down here in Seattle, cuz you look pretty darn sweet in this dress. I second everyone else's ideas for how to wear it...you are definitely gonna get your money's worth and more out of this dress. Absolutely FAB, Una. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-the-new-dress#post-642228 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 22:23:37 +0000 Heather 642228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WHOOOOAAAAAAAA....stop the press. </p> <p>Una, you look incredible in this frock. This is going to be a real work horse for you...in Hawaii AND Alaska. I adore it with the nude heels as you have styled it here. For cooler temps, I think you can add tights, BA booties, tall boots, a tailored blazer for the office, also you can wear it as a top....sneak a longer skirt over the bottom half. :D</p> <p>LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. </p> <p>Your son is a doll. AND your legs look absolutely amazing. Oh and your hair, too. :D</p> <p>&lt;3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-the-new-dress#post-642225 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 22:18:42 +0000 cciele 642225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything is great with the dress for you. I'm OK with that length -- you got the legs, girl! The fit is very flattering for your IT shape, and the colors and pattern are so fun. You scored! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-the-new-dress#post-642222 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 22:05:01 +0000 christy 642222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - GREAT dress for you! Hooray! Perfect for Hawaii and will look great layered up also. What a score! (And WOW - you have awesome legs!) </p>
