Tight blue dress, revisited

Last week I posted about this blue bodycon dress (pic 1) and you found it was too short and too bodyon for teaching. (https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....-questions)
So I gave it another go, making it a tunic this time. I also switched the wig.
What do you think?
Belt or no belt?
Which topper?

Yes! Problem solved

Missed the other thread and just read the first few replies on it. Here's the thing. You have a kicking body, which is going to be hard to hide no matter what you wear. The struggle is real! The belt draws attention to your tiny waist and accentuates your assets, which you probably don't want to do if teaching 17-25 year olds. Whereas #4, #7 and #8 do not, while not being frumpy either. And as such are more appropriate for work.

You could definitely wear it with the cardi and leggings this has de bomb shelled it sufficiently .The sheer tights are still a bit too sexy for teaching I feel.

Wow, great job, I scrutinised each of these closely and think are all perfectly wearable for teaching! Here it is a cardi, there a denim jacket or leggings, the shoe options all work great with the dress, your kicking bod and the occasion of a casual weekday in teaching. And, you still look fab and authoritive!

I echo Shiny.

Personally Krish, I think the dress is too tight and would like to see it a size up. That said, it you think it's the right size, #4 is the best way to de-bombshell the silhouette when teaching.

I like it with the denim jacket the best. I think leggings help to de-bombshell the dress. Cute wig too.

Opaque tights for wearing out and about. Leggings for teaching. Problem solved!

#4 and #7 are my favorites, for teaching. I really like the hair color, but for some reason I like the wig with bangs a bit better. Also don't you have this color in a curly/wavy style? Either way - still a great color.

The leggings do help to de-bombshell the dress, as do the longer toppers in #4 and #8. That said, you have a lot of great clothes for teaching. Have you considered wearing this dress for evening/going out? Then you could enjoy it, without worrying about the bombshell effect.

Agreeing with Kathie. The textured tights definitely bombshell it a lot, which would work well for a night out, but the leggings make it more classroom appropriate. I like the no bangs wig more, and the wavy one you have too!

Love the version with the denim jacket!

I love the red color of your wigs. I have a few weird assoiciations with wigs, especially ones with straight hair, because they are the uniform of a certain subgroup of Orthodox Jewish women (including family members and others) that abide by a religious law to cover their hair by purchasing exquisite human hair wigs. I just can't seem to detangle (ha ha?) that image from you in certain wigs. Apart from that I like #3 but not sure it is good for teaching or just everything else.

I’m seeing quite a change in your look , Krish , and have to say : I miss your blonde , gentle , softly waved hair . I may be an outlier , but I liked your previous look too I’d love to see you in some relaxed silhouettes - which although different from these fitted , body conscious ensembles , would look fantastic on your trim figure . Auburn is a great alternative haircolor for you too , by the way .

I think no belt and I like the denim topper.

I like 2-8, styled more casually. I esp like the shooties and leggings and looser hair. I think #1 calls for Chucks or like footwear.

Great idea to turn the bodycon dress into a tunic. For teaching, I like it with the leggings and I think the denim jacket and the vest look wonderful! You have a lovely figure and should rock it, but not at 100% for a classroom.
