Do you think this dress would work on IT/Apple?

Peri

I'm getting to the point I may need to start reversing those...Apple/IT. Currently I think Apple may be my defining feature. Would this type dress hide an apple belly or highlight it?

I think you'd have to try it on. At first I thought with the draping it might conceal a little belly but the draping is low so it might highlight it.
It's pretty nice, worth checking out.

I agree with Isabel! I really like the idea of it but it depends on how that middle fits in reality.

I did try this dress on but ultimately returned it. I am somewhat IT, somewhat rectangle. The reason I sent it back is that the fabric seemed too flimsy for a dress. It's the same as the t-shirts. It seemed like a very thin layer over the rear (requiring careful undergarment choice). Also I think that for the dress to stay up (on me at least) the fabric should have been more spandex-y.

I ended up with an asymmetrical sleeve top in this color, which I quite like.

I tried something similar on a while back and I liked it but not enough to buy it. It was too short and just not comfortable. I would describe it as moderately flattering for an apple:)

Thanks fabs!

UmmLila, thanks for the IRL info...yes I will pass. I was picturing it with heavier material. Being on sale I thought it would be a winter weight item. Definitely not going for special undergarment requirements!!

Is the color burgundy or does it have an orange tone? I think of rust as orange but onscreen the image looks burgundy.

Worth a try.

It's burgundy, and it looks more solid than marled.

Can you try it on in your area for free? If so, I think it's worth a try. It is so going to depend on how the fabric falls, the length of your torso etc.
