Very Disappointing
By Greatdanemama from San Diego, CA. on 07/17/2008
Pros:
Attractive Design
Cons:
Decollete too low for day, Fit on the rest too big, Fit on top too tight, Poor Fit
Best Uses:
Cocktail Party, On a Date, On The Weekend
Describe Yourself:
Bargain Shopper, Career, Classic, Eclectic
Fit:
Feels too small
Length:
Feels true to length
Waist:
Feels too big
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Comments:
The style seemed appealing on the site, as was the print. The actual fit was terrible! If you are endowed on top, the fit would be too small and tight, and too revealing for daytime use without a cami underneath. The rest of the dress was too big and loose. I was very disappointed, and consequently returned the item.

Material not as nice as expected
By tubaVerified Reviewer from Orlando, FL on 03/02/2008
Pros:
Attractive Design, Comfortable, Versatile, Wrinkle Resistant
Best Uses:
Casual Work Days, On a Date
Describe Yourself:

Length:
Feels too long
Sizing:
Feels half size too big
Waist:
Feels true to size
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Comments:
The proportions on this dress were not flattering for me, maybe because I'm very short (5'1"). The material is not the same fabric as the tunic and top on the site. I returned this because I didn't like the fabric too much and also because it wasn't very flattering to my body.

Bust Popping Out!!!
By girlagendaVerified Reviewer from chicago, il on 02/13/2008
Pros:
Attractive Design, Comfortable, Wrinkle Resistant
Cons:
Poor Fit
Best Uses:
Daytime, Going Out, Travel
Describe Yourself:
Comfort-oriented, Trendy
Length:
Feels true to length
Sizing:
Feels full size too small
Waist:
Feels true to size
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments:
I'm only a B cup, and I ordered an 8 which pretty much always fits me. Due to the cut and high waistband of this dress you have to pull your... um... "bust" above the high waistband. Have you ever heard the phrase "top shelf"? That's what the dress makes you look like. Without a tank underneath (which really doesn't look bad, I think when I get the larger size I will wear one anyway)it's almost indecent. I do like the material, it's not a charmeuse which most dresses of this type are. It's a nice light cotton with a satin type edging trim.

No give in fabric--Bad for big busts
By syovo from LA, CA on 02/08/2008
Pros:
Attractive Design, Durable, Wrinkle Resistant
Cons:
No give, Poor Fit, Small bust, Small shoulders
Best Uses:
Formal Events, Going Out
Describe Yourself:
athletic, Comfort-oriented, Sexy, Stylish
Length:
Feels true to length
Sizing:
Feels half size too small
Waist:
Feels true to size
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments:
The dress is very nice-looking, but if you have a larger bust (I'm a 38 large C) or shoulders (current or ex-gymnasts, swimmers, etc) it may be too tight up top. The fabric has no stretch to it, so there's not much leeway. I'm generally a 12, but I couldn't reach my arms forward in this, and my chest looked fine from the front, but from the side you could see my stuff was being squished. Otherwise it's quite nice, and if you don't have any of the above issues, it's likely to be a flattering and comfortable cut.

My new favorite dress
By ChazzVerified Reviewer from San Francisco, CA on 12/27/2007
Pros:
Attractive Design, Comfortable, Stylish, Versatile and Great
Best Uses:
Formal Events, Going Out, Office
Describe Yourself:
Comfort-oriented, Stylish
Length:
Feels true to length
Sizing:
Feels true to size
Waist:
Feels true to size
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments:
The fabric is a bit stiff when you first try it on (it is a cotton) but it drapes beautifully after wearing for an hour or so. It is lined so don't worry about needing a slip. The neck line was a bit too plunging for me so I paired it with a chocolate brown stretch cami. I wore it with knee high boots and had so many compliments (5 the first day I wore it- all from strangers)
