Call me crazy, but I just LOVE the pattern on this dress. It looks so vintage to me which may be why some people think it's "granny."Bonnie Irelandhttp://stfashionista.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493987722691542290.post-32761370808554129482011-11-10T13:20:29.988-05:002011-11-10T13:20:29.988-05:00Thanks!

I guess I can see how that could add to the "granny factor." I'll probably wear a cardigan over this dress for the next few months (which could also be a problem but I ain't gonna freeze for fashion), so I'm not going to worry about the sleeves for now.

I'm actually wondering if it might look even better if you took it to a tailor and took a few inches off the length and off the sleeve length. Regardless, if you're happy with it, who cares what others think.leenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493987722691542290.post-32981692207855775012011-11-09T12:37:12.261-05:002011-11-09T12:37:12.261-05:00Super cute, the thick belt is perfect, and the col...Super cute, the thick belt is perfect, and the colors are lovely on you. But I think the aspect of the dress that makes it tend toward 'granny' is the sleeve length-- you have lovely, slim arms and this dress doesn't show them off. Waist-length sleeves can be a bit awkward proportionally. If you're feeling iffy about it, maybe try cuffing the sleeve bottoms inward two inches or so to see if you like it. If you do, any tailor should be able to shorten them for you.Julie Rose Sewshttp://julierosesews.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493987722691542290.post-61094162534087597712011-11-09T12:00:00.875-05:002011-11-09T12:00:00.875-05:00That really does look cuter.That really does look cuter.Margueritedevillenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493987722691542290.post-39035172727955754122011-11-09T09:52:16.747-05:002011-11-09T09:52:16.747-05:00Hi, Bonnie:

And the teal belt brings out the teal in the dress in such a nice way. You look fantastic and not granny at all. Those people that said that before are just crazy. ;) Just kidding - your readers aren't crazy - but I do think you look beautiful. xoxoSherry Jarwinnoreply@blogger.com
