WDYT of this shirt dress? +?s

[house]

Cute? Ugly? I am kinda busty and have a belly pooch. Would this hide or exaggerate or have no effect around my belly?

[futurepivko]

I don't like the placement or the look of the tie (to me it looks like a karate belt). I also don't think it flatters the model at ALL. Love the color! (Obviously )

[house]

LOL @ Karate belt! The tie seems a bit too high to me even though it says ties at waist. It looks more of an empire waist location. And the higher I will tie the bigger my belly will look. Unless I wear spanx of course. LOL! But then I won't be comfortable. Yes, I love the color too and I am obsessed with Coral this summer!

No way! Not if it's paired right...like a simple tee and jeans or even a black tee and white pants. Just no whacky J.Crew layering crap

Where is it from?

[house]

I don't mean paired with the dress above. Ha ha.. no layering with that necklace, promise. Its from ideeli!

[house]

Are you saying "no way" to the price? Or as in "no way?" to the style?

Also I am dying to buy these: Ok, not dying but just lusing

No way to the too busy...sorry! :heart: It has to be done right though.

[house]

yeah, too busy was my first thought too.

I LOVE the necklace!

I saw that dress too and agree that the belting seems too high.

[house]

bimbi I love that necklace too but maybe if it was a little bit smaller I would be all over it! LOL!

[fashionx]

I agree with pp's - the necklace and sandals are very cute. But the belt on the dress is too high so I don't think it'll be flattering.

[lafawnduh]

Not cute, it looks a bit matronly and cheap.

[house]

Does matronly = ugly or out of fashion? Because I am a mother. and I am also 35+. While I want something fashionable, I don't want to dress like a 20 yr old either (no offense to anyone 20!) KWIM?

[house]

Oh its retail price is $118, 97% cotton. What makes this dress cheap looking? Is it the style?

[ralphlauren]

No no no

[veruca5839]

The placement of the tie makes the dress look like maternity wear IMO.

I like the necklace and shoes.

[tarheels]

It's a big no for me. I love the color, but not the fit or style.

It looks inexpensive (but not all the way to cheap on my personal scale) to me because the fabric resembles a pink cotton bedsheet...and kinda drapes like one, too. It reads $30 at JCP to me, not $120 at an online store.

As for "matronly," that to me means age 50+/vintage/grandmother, NOT 35.

[house]

Thanks everyone! I will stay away from these from now on! I am definitetely not trying to look matronly! LOL!

[mayflowers22]

Not for me.
