The posing for photos thing...actually getting worse for me, rather than better, LOL. No idea why...one would think it would get easier. I don't think there's such a thing as a good rear view, but necessary for the purpose of showing cut and style of a garment. I think your photos look natural and at ease here. Especially like the side view. You DO have good posture girl!

Hmm, in regards to hemlines ... conventional wisdom on hemlines for petites say just above the knee, but I think that would look odd with the cut of the skirt. I tend to wear my hemlines a bit longer than would be considered flattering, anyhow. I like to feel properly covered at work!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02581539654647664405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048950020104060920.post-20490697416590582832014-04-16T22:42:56.519-07:002014-04-16T22:42:56.519-07:00Halters are wonderful for broad shoulders!

You scored big time on that number.<br /><br />I think your poses here are great. They look natural. <br /><br />I always look away from the camera. 90% of the time when I look at it I look like I'm mad at it.

Posing is hellish so just say feck it! You always look sort of sweet and demure in an I could kick your ass sort of way. I love it! Show off those shoulders and legs! I agree that the dress needs a cropped sort of topper. A vintage eighties denim jacket would work.<br />One more thing about the poses-I try to avoid the chin down thing since it gives me more chins than I want. You probably won't have that happen for another ten years but why get in the habit?

As is the bit about broad shoulders and halter tops. They do show of broad shoulders, so if you're proud of yours (I think you should be) then wear them. If you're uncomfortable with your broad shoulders (I hope not) then halter tops aren't the best option. As for hemlines, it can depend on the shoe but it mostly depends on you. If you feel as gorgeous as we think you look, forget the hemline. Trust me. ;-)Gracey the Gianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13974894403938125193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048950020104060920.post-41682125353416869312014-04-16T11:24:55.077-07:002014-04-16T11:24:55.077-07:00I love this dress - it fits you like a glove!

I often have trouble with figuring out how to stand in my pictures too - in fact, I'm told I keep my chin down too much, so I try to work on raising it up more, but it feels so unnatural!Beth (Coffee Until Cocktails)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13966675621394412590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048950020104060920.post-32263558674697780182014-04-16T10:57:11.253-07:002014-04-16T10:57:11.253-07:00April?

Lovely...April? Amy? Oh yeah, Aya. Welcome back!<br /><br />Lovely dress. Pretty print. Not all women can wear halters (big-busted gals complain to me about them all the time), so enjoy how good this looks on you. When I first tried on a halter-dress, I was stunned at how different it felt from anything I'd ever worn before -- there's no male-equivalent. And speaking of feminine poses and postures -- that's my favorite subject! I've been secretly studying it for decades.Shybikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263331247319768989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048950020104060920.post-87987253963322580082014-04-16T10:49:51.870-07:002014-04-16T10:49:51.870-07:00Really pretty dress, no wonder you love it - and q...Really pretty dress, no wonder you love it - and quelle score for three bucks. I always feel silly posing. I can't do the posy thing that well. I guess the trick is just feeling as natural and relaxed as you can.
