Yoshikitty Posted June 16, 2013 #3251 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Thanks everyone for your comments, I really appreciated it ;) Yes, I do think the print is too big for me and it's too loose. I like the flower, though. I will return the dress. Now, I can go to bed and have a good night sleep. it's a almost 1am here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchairtravelwoman Posted June 17, 2013 #3252 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Hope you got a good night's sleep, Yoshi! I still love the dress but I agree the top is too big on you. Ha, if only I had those issues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawblond7 Posted June 17, 2013 #3254 Share Posted June 17, 2013 While there's nothing wrong with the floral dress, I don't really like it on you that much either. You are so tiny, something a bit more fitted would look better, and I personally don't like the print. It's just an 'ok' for me. The top seems oversized. Maybe if the dress was shorter, with some killer sandals, that would help. IMO it's too big and maybe a little 'old' looking. The first one looks pretty. I agree you are so tiny that that dress just seems so overpowering and not as flattering as I think a more form fitting dress would be. Also I may not be the best person as I do not wear prints and 90% of my dresses are black. Love the first dress Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawblond7 Posted June 17, 2013 #3255 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Marie - I want to know your secret for keeping your arms so wonderfully toned -- the look like a 20 year olds. I would die for arms like that Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your shape gets lost between the combination of the loose top and the print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushka Posted June 17, 2013 #3257 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I'm not a fan of large prints on anyone. On small people they take over and on fluffier people it makes them look even more fluffier. The print also reminds me of an over magnified Singapore Airlines print too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzisme Posted June 17, 2013 #3258 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Thank you for posting-- for your figure a sleeker silhouette would be more attractive. The print is quite large for your petite body. The sleeve length is IMO, a bit longer than necessary. Have fun shopping for an alternative!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CateW Posted June 17, 2013 #3259 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I don't think that the dress is flattering (don't mean to insult you) but I am giving you my honest opinion. You are small and I would go for something more stylish that shows off your figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burm Posted June 17, 2013 #3260 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I love love love that first dress !!! I am crazy about that dress, too. I was wondering what colour suspenders I would add to hold it up on myself. :D It is one of my all time favourites on Marie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porthopper101 Posted June 17, 2013 #3261 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Hubby said only someone has big boobs and very tanned skin will look good in the dress, which I obviously not..... Here is a photo of me in the dress. (my hair looks like a mess, so you can't see me, maybe next time ;) ) I am not sure if the dress is too big for me or it's the style. But I think it fits. It has the kind of kimono sleeves. Can't get the dress smaller because it's XS. LOL...your husband is wrong; if I wear that dress it would make me look pregnant. I do love print dresses. However, that dress is too busy, and the four sunflowers too ordered for the dress of the pattern. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the kind of kimono sleeves. Can't get the dress smaller because it's XS. I think you are so slim young, and more likely gorgeous you would look good in anything. However, I have to say if you don't mind. The print dress is too overpowering for your small frame. You need small prints if you are petite The sleeves are also too over powering. The flowered dress remind me of a beachwear cover up type dress. I love the the look of the other dress. hope you don't mind my outspoken opinion:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshikitty Posted June 17, 2013 #3263 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Thank you so much for all of your honest opinion, which I definitely didn't get from the store. There's nothing wrong with the dress, it fits but just not for me. I told hubby your opinions, he said: I told you so. I do have fun posting the pic and read your comments. I will return the dress in the weekend, hopefully I will find something else. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted June 17, 2013 #3264 Share Posted June 17, 2013 That is why we all have differing opinions....I think some of us think with a solid belt it would look very pretty on you....that is my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted June 17, 2013 #3265 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I tried to edit my last post but time had expired....I should have continued and said but of course if you don't like the dress on? That is all that matters...... I still think it is a pretty dress though.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurspag Posted June 17, 2013 #3266 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I think the dress is pretty. However, it may not be the best style for you. It doesn't look bad, and if you like it, you should certainly wear it! But, I think you get kind of lost in it, if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisincowgrl8 Posted June 18, 2013 #3268 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I was out and about this morning and dropped by a Ross store that I have not been to before. I found this amazing jewel toned purple gown on clearance for $20.99! I love it and so does DH. I have never worn a dropped waist before, but I think it is very flattering on my evolving figure.:D Lisa Lisa, I bought the same dress in teal...I have never worn dropped waist either, but the rouching on this dress is so becoming....I love it. The purple looks great on you! Debbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magandab Posted June 18, 2013 #3269 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I just got this dress on ebay for my mom, though she doesn't know it yet. I'm also waiting until Friday to see if I win one for me. I'm doubtful as that one is an expensive designer dress and I expect it will go sky high at the last minute. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoshikitty Posted June 18, 2013 #3273 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Amy, I forgot to say: Designer dress on eBay? Are you sure it's real? Be careful!! I never buy any designer staff on eBay, except from its original web or their store or the outlet. I think the summer sales is starting soon (at least in Germany) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never buy any designer staff on eBay, except from its original web or their store or the outlet. I think the summer sales is starting soon (at least in Germany) :D As long as the seller has a lot of positive reviews and has been selling awhile it's fine to buy a designer dress on ebay . Besides it is guaranteed so if it is not real you get all your money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magandab Posted June 18, 2013 #3275 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Amy, nice dress! Mind I ask how old is your mom? She will be 85 in August. We call her the Energizer Bunny. Or, Timex! She's had both hips replaced, two cataracts removed, beaten colon cancer, and she's still ticking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
