nice dress
Great for when you need to wear something other than jeans and it is hot outside. I am a regular size 6, but I ordered the petite so I wouldn't have to shorten it. It fits perfectly and sits just above my knee (I am 5' 5").

Beautiful summer dress
This is a lovely dress; it fits beautifully. I especially like the cut of the shoulders. If it were available in black linen, I'd be one happy camper!

better than the picture!
I wasn't terribly optimistic when I ordered this, but I'm very pleased! I like the fabric so much-- in the picture the color looks like it could be anything from terracotta to light orange, but it's really a soft, pretty pink! I ordered size 6 and it is just barely covers my knees (I'm 5'8"). It is also a little wide on me, but the tie at the waste helps with that. Overall it fits big but is true to LE sizing. I wish it was a little bit longer and came in even more color selections because this is one I would buy twice.

Great colours for pale skin, but not sized for busty gals.
I love this dress, but it is a bit snug in the bust. I bought a size 10 to allow for extra room up top, and it just barely fits. The pale plaid colours are very flattering to a cool skin tone. The collar seems overlarge, but the great shaping of this dress means it actually looks better without the self belt. However, if you have a really small waist, then a pastel leather belt would look nice.

Bummer
This dress is really cute and it fit well, but as soon as I moved or sat down the space between the buttons on the placket would gap really bad, and all the way down. So in order to prevent flashing anyone sitting next to me I'd have to wear a body suit underneath! Not practical or desireable.The eyelet dress they had over the summer seemed to be the same cut, but the fabric was heavier so it didn't gap. This one just didn't work--it doesn't matter how cute something is if you're flashing people sitting next to you in church!

LOVE IT
The fabric is so soft but still structured. It's perfect.
I love the fit. It feels tailored but still cumfy.
So pleased I ordered this dress, wish it came in more colors!

Great summer dress
I love this dress, although my mother says it looks a bit "matronly." Go figure. A shirtwaist dress is a classic. I ordered this on sale when only one color was available. I'd probably like it even better in a slightly brighter palette, but this one is just fine too. VERY comfortable and can be worn with or without the belt. I don't "do" sleeveless, so I wear it with a lightweight sweater. Someday I'd love to see the same dress with 3/4 length sleeves.

Tight through bust. Colors not as brilliant as shown. Well made.
Small through the bust. I returned for next larger size.
Not what I expected in colors of plaid. Colors not as saturated as appear online.
Nonetheless, I think I will get a lot of wear out of it, just more everyday than I thought it would be.
Well made. Good summer weight.

I so wanted this dress to work!
The material is too thin to wear without a slip. Who wants to wear a slip in the summer? The pockets fall a little above your hips and therefore the sides don't lay flat.

Not sized right....
I ordered this dress along with 4 others. This is one of the 2 that did not fit. The bust is way too small in the Women's size that I ordered. 2 other dresses, in the same size, fit perfectly. It would not do any good to order in a larger size as the armholes were cut really large and a bigger size would just have even larger armholes. The look of the dress is nice but the sizing for the bust is way off.
