Collection Jules Dress in Silk Scarf Foulard (size 2)
Okay. So while I do not think it looks terrible, I also do not think it looks $298 great. The print is really lovely and the silk feels great. But ALL the Jules bother me for one reason. Okay a few reasons. The seam that connects the top half and the "skirt" portion goes in making the material right below it pouf out just slightly. This is right on the hips and I do not like it! If anything I wish it tapered in ever so slightly. Also, something about that very plain highish neckline does not do anything for my chest.
As far as this dress shape goes, this is one of the better iterations. It has a pajama like looks but I think could be dressed up with lots of fun jewelry and heels. It is quite short (I am 5'4") but not obscenely so with tights.
Anyone else buy into the Jules dress? How do you make it work?
You have great legs, the dress hits you at a nice length, not scandalous, and I think this dress looks terrific on you. It's all about the legs, don't worry about the neckline. :) I love this print too (want the top but not willing to pay the $ - hoping to somehow get it on sale-sale), but agree it's not worth f/p. Thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Yes I agree it's all about the legs (especially since my waist has somehow recently disappeared)! The top is lovely as well and I wish I could justify one of the pieces. I was surprised to see that this Jules has been really selling out despite the price!
DeleteI keep trying to like the Jules, too. It always seems to be a little off. I think the length is nice on you. I'm with you, I don't think it's worth full price.
ReplyDeleteIt is a little off for me and I'm so jealous of those who look good in it. I saw someone in the wool one in that luscious green color and she looked terrific!
