2nds. New-York-based designer Karin Stevens chose an amply textured crepe for this body-skimming sheath dress, its classic silhouette accented by gleaming buttons at both the neckline and hem.

This is a beautiful dress! I was pleasantly surprised to see such a high-quality professional dress on STP (normally I get casual/play clothes from them). I am 5'8", 140 lb, and normally wear dresses in size 10/Large, but this one runs a little small. I kept the 10 anyway, but probably would be more comfortable in a 12 for this dress. It stops a couple inches above the knee (but might be OK length if you are shorter). Note: the "gold-toned" buttons at the top & bottom are totally silver (maybe they meant white gold?). Only way to improve this would be if it came with a matching jacket or cropped jacket or shrug or something else to cover the shoulders in the same material. If you're on the fence, go for it! But order 1 size larger than you usually do if you are curvy.

I really loved the color and fabric of this dress. However, the fit felt odd to me (36"-29"-39", 5'10"). The hips were quite snug, while the top/underarm area was rather loose. I figured that if I went up a size, the top would be quite baggy, so mine was returned.
