Those are cute looks but those dresses are more fit and flare. My dress fits more like a tent from the bust down! It doesn't come in close to the body at the waist at all.

Thanks for your help! I guess I'll have to keep looking to see if something "rings my chimes"! 😋

@Texasmouse,Sorry, Sweetie! Right now, it's markdowns and things are dribbling in which will be mostly-not all- geared to the autumn palatte.
Eighty-five of us are winters, our time is the next season and we will have the most choices.

Are you able to sew a couple of darts in the back or take it in on the sides? No one hears you louder or clearer on finding a cute, comfy dress with elbow sleeves! One thing I'm learning the slow, hard way (naturally!) is that, if I have to do too much or buy something else to make something work, it may not be worth it (I realize you can't take it back now).
I like the idea of a blouse tied in front and boots, especially if you already have a blouse in your closet that will work.
It's always something!

My sewing skills are pretty limited and I don't trust myself to wind up with something wearable. 😄 I'll have to play with what I've got in my closet and see if I can make something work. If not, it might end up in the Goodwill bag but it wasn't an expensive dress so it wouldn't be a huge loss. Thanks for your input. 😊

@Texasmouse,OH! Don't get rid of it! You definately have the foundation of a great outfit, Girl!
It can be worn as is, with a blouse, tailored shirt, or thin turtleneck underneath!

You're right, @ECBG. I know I can at least wear it with a shirt tied over it, even if I never belt it. Maybe when we get temperatures back in the double digits, it'll be more doable! 😁

@Texasmouse I'm having the same dilemma with two t-shirt dresses I just ordered. I knew they were supposed to be a little fuller and 'swingy' at the bottom, but they are full all the way down on me. I thought about a belt, too, but I wanted to be cool and comfortable, not constricted. I'm pretty sure they are going to end up as bathing suit cover ups

If you have shirts you can tie over them, you might make them work too. I know what you mean about being "constricted" especially in hot weather. Also, I have a feeling I'd be constantly fidgeting with a belt, either pulling it up or down or rearranging the material so that it wouldn't look bunched up, etc. The more I think about it, the more I think the shirt over it is the best option. Thanks to @SilleeMee for the suggestion. 😊
