Re: Items to which I am allured
To help matters further, I prefer the yellow but only just and would get both if you could because I think they'd serve different purposes. But whilst I love the wrap top I think the cut at the bottom is a bit stern. The cut, though, not you, you make it look lovely.

I've come back for a second look and I think you look incredible in both playsuits. The green top is nice enough, but maybe not wow enough if it needs to be wow to be kept.

Re: Items to which I am allured
Oh, thank you. Thats very kind.
I'm keeping the blue, the yellow :cry: and the green top are going back. The yellow is almost fluorescent in real life (to my eye) and its just too much. I'm giving up on finding a yellow dress because I've tried about 10 on since the spring and turned them all down, its just not meant to be. The green just didn't do much for me I don't think.

I do think you look lovely in the yellow but I also understand the BRIGHT fear.

This is the dress I meant for Mrs D. It's still not that similar. :))

It looks similar to one I was coveting in J Crew today!

I like that.

Re: Items to which I am allured
Oooh, I like that Pip. It's not massively dissimilar. I showed the All Saints one to a load of Turtles at the weekend and they were all fairly unimpressed :)) Is that from H&M?

Re: Items to which I am allured
I like the cut and the colour but am not keen on the belt, it kind of takes over. You could definitely remove and replace with a nice, thin silver one or something.

I like that Smal.
Yes, H&M. I knew I'd not gone completely mad. :))

Re: Items to which I am allured
It's nice but I think it swamps you a bit.

I think it swamps you too and I think it's a bit Edwardian school teacher.

Re: Items to which I am allured
I was thinking Amish - I like shirts made out of fine-striped cottons, but a whole dress, especially in a shirtwaister style is quite a lot...

Re: Items to which I am allured
I was also thinking Amish. I bought something similar but sleeveless in a sale once and got rid of it after a year or so as I never really wore it.

Shorter sleeves/rolled up sleeves would be better.

Re: Items to which I am allured
I bought it because I couldn't decide and I was in a rush. I loved it on the mannequin (well, no shit?) and love the principle of it (I don't really care if it is a Amish looking), but the thing I was least sure about was whether it was too long/generally volumous.
With an alternative belt
.
Probably needs to be more fitted around the top. Meh. :mad:

Re: Items to which I am allured
I really like it and think it works with the belt but then I like things which are quite voluminous and not very fitted. I think it suits you.

Re: Items to which I am allured
My sister's comment: I like it, it's prim. You suit prim.
:lol:
I wish I'd tried the next size down but it was M&S (I NEVER shop in M&S) and was thrown by the sizing (the next size down is a size I'd never normally fit into). I'll go back later in the week and try it, though I'm not ruling out the 10.
