Order it. And compare it to&nbsp;the Tadashi.

Will you lose the ruffle detail if you have to wear a topper? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-dress-for-the-london-event#post-1233965 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 14:38:57 +0000 Freckles 1233965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning dress! &nbsp;Sure hope it fits you like a dream. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-dress-for-the-london-event#post-1233952 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 14:08:11 +0000 viva 1233952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed the Tadashi but I really like this, Diana. The ruffle is very architectural. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-dress-for-the-london-event#post-1233916 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 13:31:36 +0000 Ledonna N. 1233916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this choice also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-dress-for-the-london-event#post-1233915 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 13:30:39 +0000 Anonymous 1233915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the dress. The only thing I wonder about is that, in the other thread, you said you'd be wearing black heels, right? I'm not sure&nbsp;whether the navy dress and black heels together would sort of limit your options for topper and accessories, especially for an event this formal.</p> <p>And I'm so jealous that you get to go to something like this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-dress-for-the-london-event#post-1233908 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 13:21:35 +0000 Karie 1233908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this dress a lot, that ruffle is gorgeous. How about with the Janet's long&nbsp;BCBG jacket in white? Navy and white is a great combination. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-dress-for-the-london-event#post-1233885 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 12:42:18 +0000 kkards 1233885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like this dress a lot, can't wait to see it&nbsp;<br />(fyi, when i clicked the link they were running 50% off entire purchase, not sure if it was running when you ordered, if not i would call and get the discount) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-dress-for-the-london-event#post-1233880 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 12:37:47 +0000 missvee 1233880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this one very much and it seems to suit your style really well. It's elegant yet very interesting with the soft ruffle detail. The Tadashi is a great dress too but seems a bit more " party" or dinner/dance to me. Maybe you need both ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-dress-for-the-london-event#post-1233859 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 11:51:45 +0000 Aquamarine 1233859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just getting caught up on YLF and am enjoying this thread immensely. So exciting! I love both dresses but am wondering if the blue will be too dark with a black trench and black shoes for a morning event in May. I guess it depends on how inky the blues are in real life. Also, if you wear a hat, would you have to match the blues or could you go lighter? I know nothing about hats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-dress-for-the-london-event#post-1233813 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 06:55:17 +0000 An 1233813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking forward to the pics. Rabbit, that video was really interesting. What a privilege to be going Diana! There were lots of floral dresses with plain toppers in the video but the Ann Taylor dress with a topper looks like it would fit in perfectly. Fingers crossed for a great fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-dress-for-the-london-event#post-1233808 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 06:41:59 +0000 Kiwichik 1233808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay glad you ordered this dress I went back and read your other thread and much prefer the Ann Taylor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-dress-for-the-london-event#post-1233802 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 05:55:16 +0000 Gigi 1233802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like that dress. My feeling is that a dark topper might be too much dark coloring, though. A lighter, contrasting topper would be best. Or maybe you could get some kind of scarf/shawl/wrap thingie? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-dress-for-the-london-event#post-1233763 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 04:34:10 +0000 Beth Ann 1233763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I so hear you on the neckline!&nbsp; I'm no longer smaller on top than bottom,&nbsp; but having a bosom means being always on cleavage alert, and high necklines make me look wrapped like a package.&nbsp; I didn't see the earlier thread, so I'll check it out in the morning, but I think this AT is very elegant.&nbsp; It would be easy to spring it up a bit, I think! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-dress-for-the-london-event#post-1233738 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 03:12:21 +0000 Anonymous 1233738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This dress is very pretty.&nbsp; I don't think you need bright or light colors.&nbsp; Dark neutrals&nbsp;often look dressier and more sophisticated.&nbsp; I'm only wondering how a topper will work out with the ruffle detail.&nbsp; At least it has a small sleeve so that you won't have to cover your arms if it's warm enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-dress-for-the-london-event#post-1233722 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 02:38:21 +0000 Golden 1233722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This dress is very pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-dress-for-the-london-event#post-1233708 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 02:11:13 +0000 Diana 1233708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I ordered it. Had to shell out for expedited shipping to make sure it gets here on time. &nbsp;Hope it is not too short. &nbsp;I have to buy petite to get the top to be short enough so hopefully the skirt is not too short. &nbsp;</p> <p>In the meantime I'll be scouring the b&amp;m stores next week too for dresses and trenches/jackets. &nbsp;It occurs to me that this would actually be the perfect occasion for the long BCBG jacket (that Janet bought) which I couldn't justify an&nbsp;occasion for. &nbsp;But unfortunately I think that jacket only comes in black or white. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-dress-for-the-london-event#post-1233683 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 01:24:40 +0000 hedgiehog 1233683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this option. It is a simple but elegant design and looks posh enough for such an event. Perhaps a lighter or brighter coat would pair well with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-dress-for-the-london-event#post-1233673 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 00:52:52 +0000 Diana 1233673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am somewhat worried about the Tadashi as a lot of the reviews of that dress (and of the sleeveless version) mention that it runs big on top&nbsp;and that the neckline is quite low. &nbsp;That will be a problem for me and I know I cannot size down because of my hips. &nbsp;I am sick of plunging, cleavagey&nbsp;necklines if we're being honest, but it seems like most other things with a higher neckline have a super high, boat neck which I can't do either. &nbsp;There seems to be little in between.&nbsp; I don't have time to get anything tailored unless it's something simple I can do myself. &nbsp;</p> <p>I'm going to order the Ann Taylor one in petite. &nbsp;I like the neckline (it's modest but not too high for my short neck)&nbsp;and it fit surprisingly well (given that it's a sheath). &nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-dress-for-the-london-event#post-1233656 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 00:22:36 +0000 abc 1233656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think you can go wrong with either. Can you try both in a side by side pic showdown? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-dress-for-the-london-event#post-1233645 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 00:11:52 +0000 lyn* 1233645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the ink blue colour, and with nude pumps looks very Kate M (with a longer hemline, of course) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-dress-for-the-london-event#post-1233613 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 23:29:56 +0000 Diana 1233613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a really dark navy, more like ink blue if that matters. I'm leaning toward ordering it, and hey maybe I'll find a colored trench I like. I still think my red trench is too casual, unfortunately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-dress-for-the-london-event#post-1233605 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 23:25:56 +0000 rabbit 1233605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are beautiful. &nbsp; They might both be a bit dark if the trench is dark too? &nbsp;But I wonder if brighter accessories might be all that's needed to make it more day/springlike.</p> <p>Here's a video of the queen's garden party, similar dress code I think? If you want to snoop on outfits:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4OWWMlvHrs#t=40">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4OWWMlvHrs#t=40</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-dress-for-the-london-event#post-1233603 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 23:22:30 +0000 Diana 1233603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An, I'd have to order both online if I wanted to try them. Also, I don't have a dressy trench yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-dress-for-the-london-event#post-1233601 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 23:21:13 +0000 An 1233601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this would work also but my preference is still the Tadashi I think. Can be take pics of both on you with the toppers you have? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-dress-for-the-london-event#post-1233599 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 23:17:00 +0000 Diana 1233599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tried it on in regular but I need petite, which is online only. But do you think it's even appropriate for the "morning dress" event? Too dark? And would a dark trench or jacket on top be too much? I might be able to wear my bellatrix jacket as a topper too.</p> <p>FWIW, if I got the lace tadashi dress I posted in the other thread, it would also be navy...</p> <p><a href="http://www.anntaylor.com/cascade-ruffle-dress/321098?colorExplode=false&#038;skuId=16138827&#038;catid=cata000012&#038;productPageType=fullPriceProducts&#038;defaultColor=1878" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylor.com/casca.....Color=1878</a> </p>
