I often have a problem with elastic waists being too tight - weird I know.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zella-tank-dress#post-2201526 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 00:44:04 +0000 Carla 2201526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great colour. &nbsp;I feel your pain. &nbsp;Elasticized waists are problematic for me too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zella-tank-dress#post-2201509 Wed, 09 Jun 2021 22:58:00 +0000 rachylou 2201509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It *is* a great colour. I’m another who has trouble with a short torso, blouse-y tops and a gathered waist. I’d probably need either a higher or lower neckline as well. Good to know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zella-tank-dress#post-2201482 Wed, 09 Jun 2021 19:40:37 +0000 LaPed 2201482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a great colour! I totally hear you on gathered waists. I struggle with those too; they never seem to fall where they're supposed to on me. Short torso problems.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zella-tank-dress#post-2201478 Wed, 09 Jun 2021 19:21:34 +0000 Janet 2201478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Phoebe, yes, that's another thing that made me try it. I've seen some adorable one shoulder dresses and the like, but I find strapless bras uncomfortable in the best of situations -- I can't imagine subjecting myself to that torture in the heat of summer!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zella-tank-dress#post-2201477 Wed, 09 Jun 2021 19:17:25 +0000 Anonymous 2201477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like it might not need a special bra either, so that's a plus</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zella-tank-dress#post-2201475 Wed, 09 Jun 2021 19:15:20 +0000 Janet 2201475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that dress, Angie -- I noted it when you posted it the other day. I wish it were in some colors other than black, but the style seems promising as long as it's not too voluminous. I like that front and back V neck.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zella-tank-dress#post-2201472 Wed, 09 Jun 2021 19:09:18 +0000 Angie 2201472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thoughtful review, thanks <b>Janet</b>!&nbsp;</p> <p>How about something like this?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zella-tank-dress#post-2201469 Wed, 09 Jun 2021 19:02:57 +0000 Janet 2201469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharan, yeah, I typically stay away from those waists too, as they rarely hit me in the right spot, and tend to not look as streamlined as I would prefer. With some exceptions, I do much better with a gently fitted/shaped silhouette rather than a gathered/elasticated waist or a belted shape.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zella-tank-dress#post-2201467 Wed, 09 Jun 2021 19:01:34 +0000 Janet 2201467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, that is a really cute dress! No more available in my size, and I'm not sure if that bare fitted top and the back detail would work on my figure, but I like it a lot! I bet it will look smashing on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zella-tank-dress#post-2201466 Wed, 09 Jun 2021 18:58:39 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2201466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the review, Janet. Sorry it didn't work out. The color is so appealing! I liked the look of the dress, too, but I didn't try it, partly because of the gathered waist, a feature I don't usually like on myself. That's a style that can be very tricky to fit, for the reasons you mention. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zella-tank-dress#post-2201465 Wed, 09 Jun 2021 18:57:24 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2201465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad it didn't work for you. Thanks for posting your review. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zella-tank-dress#post-2201463 Wed, 09 Jun 2021 18:56:26 +0000 Tanya 2201463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the review, Janet. I am sorry it did not work out for you. It sounds like a great dress, but it is too sporty for what I am looking for. </p> <p>For all that is worth, I have the casual dress below on order. It has a bit of an<br /> edge to it (look at the back!) and I immediately thought it might appeal to you, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zella-tank-dress#post-2201459 Wed, 09 Jun 2021 18:47:24 +0000 Janet 2201459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried the green Zella dress from a recent round of Angie picks because it ticked so many boxes for me -- good color, below knee length, and casual/sporty.&nbsp;</p> <p>The good: it's TTS. A medium fit me well (I am wearing an 8 or 10 these days). The color is nice, it's wearable with a bra, and it's a good length for those of us who don't care for minis or above-knee lengths.&nbsp;</p> <p>The not-so-good: it just didn't do anything for me. The top was just a little too blousy above the gathered waist, and the pockets kind of made the hip pouf out a bit. The neckline was ok but not great -- I look better in a V neck. </p> <p>I think this dress may look great on someone with a straighter figure, or maybe a longer torso. Sorry, I didn't even bother to take photos, but wanted to share my thoughts on it. I'd love to find a dress in this color though! It's a HEWI for sure.&nbsp; </p>
