Dear fabbers,

I would like to ask for your opinions on this dress. I bought it last summer and only wore it once, but I did get a compliment on it. I like it overall but there are some issues.

The bodice is a little big and is bunching up at the waist, but I could easily fix that by taking in the shoulder seams a little. The sleeves seem a little long and would be prettier as a shorter "capped sleeve" length I think.

Then there is the question of shoes. It works well with my blue suede sandals if I want to wear a bit of heel. For lower sandals I wore it with the bronze ones last year but they seem a little off...perhaps too much strappage on the foot or perhaps this sandal is just too casual. Maybe a slightly dressier sandal in white or silver...

The print is entirely cool colors, not the warm tones I normally wear.

What do you think? JFE? Worth a little bit of work? Not worth it?

(pardon the lighting in the photo, light from the skylight was throwing things off.)

Thanks in advance for all inputs
