I LOVE THIS DRESS
I wear this to work and get tons of compliments on it. It packs very well for travel. The only thing Idon't like is that it pills a bit on the front, but my pilling stone takes care of that.

Order a size larger than usual
I'm so sick of jersey that I ordered because it was ponte knit. We need more of these, calf length. Hard to find without necks cut out too low. This one is OK in a size larger than usual.

The dress is well made and fits nicely.
I wore the dress for Christmas. Perfection would be to raise the neckline slightly.

Great dress!!
Love this dress. It fit me true to size, and the empire waist is flattering and comfortable.

Needed a seamstress to make this fit.
I ordered this one size smaller than usual. However, the top part was huge - at least two if not three sizes too large. The upper trim of the empire band was down at my waist. Yet the skirt portion just fit with not an inch to spare. I'm pear-shaped, so I do occasionally need alterations done, but not to this extent. I got a bargain from my seamstress, who altered it for $30. But that makes this a very expensive dress. I wouldn't have bought it if I had known how poor the fit would be.

Not for me
As knit goes, it was not clingy, but on me it was not flatttering. Runs a little large. Knit dresses are not my friends!

Wonderful dress, great fit
I purchased this dress in black, and after it arrieved, I liked it so much I purchased a second in pine green. The dress fits beautifully and moves like a dream! I highly recommend it.

comfortable, attractive
Finally a plus petite dress that doesn't look like my Grandma's dress (even though I am that old). I'm 5'4" and wear a 1x or 18W. Most garments are too long waisted for me because not only am I not tall (not real short either), I'm short waisted, with shorter arms. I'm not that jazzed about the bell sleeves, but the fabric is nice looking and forgiving. I'm just so happy that it actually indents at my waist instead of down on my hips. I don't look like I'm trying to wear Mommy's dress and it's too long. Wow! More plus petites in tops and dresses please. Thanks.

Big armholes
This dress looks lovely on the model. On me, it just sort of hung. A little too shapeless, and the armholes are huge.

Awesome dress and that comes from a woman who does not wear dresses!
This dress was perfect in every way. The fabric was substantial but draped nicely. I live in South Texas so it may be a bit heavy in the summer months. I am short, 5'2", and skirts and tops are more flattering than dresses on me. I took a chance on the plus size - not my usual size - but with the cut/style of this dress it worked for me. I ordered the black because the purple color was sold out but it will for sure be my "go to" black dress for years to come - the styling is classic-not trendy. It will look great with a bright shawl/pashima. The sleeves are not as belled as in the picture on line - perfect length though. I have not laundered this dress yet so I cannot comment in that regard. I would ask Lands End to make this dress in regular misses sizes - my daughter - a size 8 - loved it!!
