Unfortunately, though a lovely shape, the fabric was SO heavy! When I walked, it felt very binding and not flowing at all. Plus, this is a dress you'd normally wear in warmer weather, and I'm pretty sure I'd be far too hot in it. It looked so lovely and flowy in the picture, but the fabric is just way too heavy and almost binding (you could hear it when I walked, which is weird).<br /><br />Had to send it back = (Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07233982234385599523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871738287043527278.post-81604301296872004452010-03-07T12:57:36.521-05:002010-03-07T12:57:36.521-05:00I probably wouldn't wear it enough to warrant ...I probably wouldn't wear it enough to warrant the price.

Sometimes I am too busy taking pictures to stop and look in the mirror. What really bothers me about it is how my arms look - but that's something that only I can change...and will happen with any sundress. So time to get back to some curls and pushups.<br /><br />I am keeping the dress for now...will continue to look for it on sale...and see if I really wear it. If I don't it will go back. (And I totally agree with hair up - of course, that's pretty much how I roll in the summertime!)HeidiGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335791412412897005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871738287043527278.post-77812073100944627532010-03-02T15:03:59.670-05:002010-03-02T15:03:59.670-05:00I think this looks lovely on you!I think this looks lovely on you!OneCraftyFoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01261793056599847648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871738287043527278.post-45545974801216220572010-02-25T19:34:22.410-05:002010-02-25T19:34:22.410-05:00I think you look gorgeous!

I can picture you wearing it with possibly a lightweight cardigan (not the long ones though - that will totally throw off the length of the dress) and some accessories like you have in your polyvore. Maybe even the Dina hoops! ;)<br /><br />But I, being "not that tall" (like Ashley said, heehee), will leave the maxi dresses to you statuesque gals.

Does that make sense? That is why I prefer shorter summer dresses to and find the maxi difficult to wear. I found a very nice one on super duper sale in the UK and that is the only reason I bought it. For the price and you not being that into it I would return it and maybe wait for super sale?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871738287043527278.post-29662854785531923712010-02-24T07:24:57.639-05:002010-02-24T07:24:57.639-05:00Oh Heidi, that dress looks great on you!!!

I think part of you really wants to do this one, so make it work. Try it with a few necklaces and put your hair up to show the neckline off. My first pick would be your confetti necklace. Don't you own it in white? Might be too much of a contrast, but try it. Otherwise, go for 2 long, layering necklaces. I think it will be a longer version of the dressy jersey strapless dress. You will look & feel so beautiful in it during one of your spring/summer brunches w/your fab hubby cooking it up in the kitchen...<br /><br />$.02Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06119918515498248436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871738287043527278.post-68584334296478657332010-02-23T23:53:09.496-05:002010-02-23T23:53:09.496-05:00I really like this dress!
