I felt like it didn't in the shop but it kind of does now in the photo.

It's mainly the colour which concerns me.

The colour looks great. Don't be concerned about that.

I love that colour on you! I really like the dress but it looks really creasy fabric which would annoy me.

If you buy it you have to take it on holiday to the South or France, or Rome or somewhere. It would look so nice with denim-y espadrilles and a straw basket style bag :hbeat:

Yes, it definitely needs to go to Southern Europe.

They were all creased to shit in an otherwise we'll presented shop, which is telling.

There's no Southern Europe this year :lg: . I do worry it would only be a holiday dress. I'm relatively brave (I wear my lemons dress a fair bit in the summer ) but is this too much.

Your lemons dress is probably nicer.

I saw that! The road closed temporarily while we were there, the day we had a reservation at the Big Sur Bakery I'd booked 6 months in advance. All the state parks apart from Point Lobos were shut too :cry:

I hope you can drive it though, it really is just breathtaking.

I agree that the yellow dress is too long but I also think it looks a bit too big for you anyway? Maybe try the next size down.

The colour suits you so much but I do think it looks a little big on the bust and it's too long on you.

I wish I could wear that colour, it's so cheery :))

I agree that the colour looks great and that you can afford to size down. I can't remember where it's from but is there a petite size you can try?

My sister said it was too big too. It's warehouse so I can size down but no petite.

It's gorgeous. I am put off by creasy fabric, however.

I'm a bit awkwardly between sizes and very much hoping to lose more so weight so it's probably not the best time to buy. I'm going to leave it, I think if you're going to wear a bright yellow dress it needs to be perfect in every other way, and it isn't. I will look out in case it comes our in another colour though.

Me again. Hi. Is this ridiculous? I am allured of it but suspect it'll be flounce in unflattering places.
