I agree with Isis about the difference in the photos. Interesting.

Honestly, I had to go back and check for pattern placement issues, and I still think it's fine. It would be one thing if flowers were only in certain places, but they are more numerous and relatively evenly spaced. I still vote keep. You are young, and it is the right time to try things out. Also, am I wrong here or don't women in Spain dress a little more feminine/sexy/body-concious than people in colder countries?

Isis, I swear I have the most innocent face! Also, I hardly ever wear make-up, so I don't look much like a bombshell.

Funny how a face changes perception.

Oh, by the way, thanks to all of you for your time and help!! :

Scarlet, women wear shorter skirts here, that's true, and not only young ones. I don't know if it's due to the heat or because we care less, or I don't really know. I don't find this particular dress too revealing, especially when I see all those extremely short shorts on the streets eeevery day! (as in http://img2.timeinc.net/people.....impson.jpg)

Wear it with flat sandals and you're good to go. Sometimes slimmer gals need to wear more fitted/bodycon clothing to actually *create* some curves. This dress does that beautifully for you! I love the pattern, placement and all!

Lemonade, I think Isis is spot on - the picture was angled differently from Nicole's (in addition to cutting your head off) so a certain portion of your anatomy was more at eye level, if you know what I mean.

I think this dress actually looks lovely on you, and even has a demure, ladylike aspect to it, as well as a bit of irony. So if the comfort issues are met, I would go for it.

This Mom of two 20+ yr. old daughters says "keep."

If I had youth and a great shape on my side, I'd be wearing this dress. I really like it on you and think you can definitely wear it. The pattern placement doesn't really bother me - I don't really notice those things generally speaking. It can be made more casual by popping on a cropped denim jacket and flat sandals for day time and then can be spruced up for evening with heels, no jacket and a fabulous little clutch.

I was going to come back just to comment on the difference in photos (Nicole and Lemonade) and Isis hit the nail on the head already. Thanks

I love the dress and just wish I had the youth and body you have, to wear it! The main thing is to OWN the look. Solemn pinky swear that you won't be tugging on it to keep it down!
