Keep or return--AT dress

ticksgirl

This is the dress that Vix reviewed last week. I'm certain she is a complete knockout in hers, but I'm not sure about it on me. I fear it might emphasize my rectangularity. What say you? Discuss. And please excuse my hair.

ETA: I would not wear it with these boots. I just don't have any shoes to go with it at the moment.

Love the pattern but I think it does emphasize your rectangleness.

I like it too. How about adding a black belt to interrupt the pattern? Or do you consciously avoid a belt because of the mentioned rectangularity?

As a secondary rectangle myself, I'd like to see this with a belt, but I think it's quite flattering!

I love it. The black belt idea is interesting, too.

As for your hair, I'd kill to have that kind of sleekness with body. So, no hating on the hair.

I really love it on you...nothing wrong with being a rectangle...you have a beautiful shape! Add a belt if you feel the need , but I think you look lovely as is:)

I think the dress cinches you in, so it suggests an hourglass shape. But you simply must wear it with your hair down, so fab!

I hope that all the positive feedback has helped you decide to be my Dress (+ pale skinned brunette + Rectangle) Twin.

I really like it on you -- and come on...though a Rectangle can only work an unstructured wrap dress but so much, I think you are workin' it!

Coincidentally, I wore mine today -- with charcoal tights and knee-high black boots. While I can't lay claim to that "knockout" verdict you so kindly propose, I did feel GREAT in it...and as a bonus, got multiple compliments.

Re belting when there's an existing wide sash belt that starts at the empire line and swoops down (if needed, there are pics in my review of this)

This is for your benefit and not short-waisted mine, but: would people suggest tucking the ends up and belting over?

Thank you all for looking and commenting. But the more I look at it, the more I feel like it makes me look thick through the middle, and, more importantly, Mr. TG has just confirmed this. (He wasn't being rude--I asked him to be honest, and while he agreed with me, he also made some other comments that I can't share, but suffice it to say they softened the blow a bit.

You look great in it, I say keep.
BUT, if you don't feel great, let it go. You have to feel it.

I love it, especially with your hair down. I dont' see a rectangle, it looks really feminine and curvy to me! I voted yay, with the caveat that you have to feel good in it, too :).
