Ugh! I cannot imagine my using that construction in the context presented. Ugh!

"Darling, that dress looks good on you." Versus, "Darling that dress looks well on you."

Compare:

"Oh, that sandich smells good." or "Oh, that sandwich smells well."

Further:

"Oh, that sandwich looks good." or "Oh, that sandwich looks well."

I don't look well but I feel pretty good.

I think what's going on is that there are some assumed words here, which is what makes an adjective seem as though it's an adverb:

Mrs. Klein looks as though she is good in that dress.
