Description
A dress with flare.
- Crisp-yet-soft cotton lawn
- Pretty surplice bodice
- Set-in empire waist has a hint of elastic in back
- Graceful flared skirt
- Timeless knee length
- Approximate lengths (from shoulder to hem): Regular, 38 1/2"; Petite, 36"; Plus, 42"
So pretty and so comfortable! There's just something about an empire waist that flatters every figure. And the flare skirt creates a soft silhouette that isn't too "poofy." The fabric is feathery-light. But don't worry that it's too sheer we added a full lining, so you needn't worry about hunting for a slip. Invisible side zipper. 100% cotton. Machine wash. Imported.

It is so nice to have a dress so just plain pretty...
I now have two of these dresses, in different patterns. I'm considering a third.
The fabric is lovely, draping well and with lovely colour in the patterns. The v-shaping in front and back is so summery and flattering, feminine without being too revealing. The cut of the armholes is very nice, giving a long look to the arms and there is no binding.
I have not worn a "short" skirt in probably 30 years, which tells you I am not a young woman. Neither am I a particularly small woman. The length of the skirt on me - not the height of a typical model - falls to just the bottom of the knee and is very flattering. It does not look like I have on my daughter's (or granddaughter's, heaven forbid) dress, even though the look is generally youthful.
This dress is comfortable, flattering and I feel pretty in it...I'm looking forward to wearing each of these dresses often this summer, dressed up or down with different shoes and cardigans when needed. It is going to be a very pretty summer....

Very pretty dress
The fit is perfect and empire waist flattering. The fabric is cool and breezy, very comfortable on a hot day. I chose the poppy pattern and was glad of the lining which provides good coverage. There are also tiny snaps to keep your bra straps in place - a very clever and useful feature.

Outstanding!
I may have a lot of dresses, but this one is STAND OUT! I got it in the mail today and put it on right away. Here are just a few things I like about it. 1. Excellent bust! I was really nervous about the cross-over bust and how it would gap, but it is not the case. Because of the gathering in the bust, it makes the dress look more evenly proportioned on me since I have a smaller bust compared to my hips. 2. Elastic gathering in back. This makes the dress so comfortable to wear. Even though there is a hidden zipper on the side, the elastic pulls the waist in and creates and lovely silhouette. I love the how the higher waist leaves space around my tummy and hip. Finally, 3. The style and fabric. Exactly the excellent quality I expect from LE. The style is perfect for layering. I actually wore it today with a t-shirt and cardigan on top. It was too cute!

pretty dress
I ordered this cotton dress in navy and the solid modal dress, and I kept this one. While the cotton is a lighter weight and the modal is a heavier fabric, I feel that the cotton option can be dressed up or down. The dress in front is exactly like the picture. I got my usual size SX and while the fit is good in the front, the elastic gathering in back is too high up so that below it, the fabric is excessive, like you are wearing a tent (some darts would have been great). But since I will most likely be paring the dress with a cardigan, it will not be as noticeable.

way too low in front! I would not have wanted to use a safety pin but would have felt compelled to hold the front together somehow
returned it. I had high hopes for it!

Drapes nicely; would have appreciated more choice of sizes
I returned my first purchase of this dress. Being a small-busted size 10, I guessed (wrongly) that a petite size medium (10-12) might fit better than the regular medium. I was wrong - the whole dress was much too large (although the length was great). I exchanged it for a regular small, although I am by no means a size 6!
The major difference between petite and regular appears to be length. Some manufacturers cut their petites to be smaller in shoulder and bust dimensions as well, which would have been a help.
But the dress is comfortable, and hangs nicely.

Very odd fit and flimsy material
One reviewer had said that this dress had a weird pooch or bump on the back and she was spot on. When I tried it on, there was this puffy material on the back,just above the waist. Needless to say, very unflattering. I also found the material be thin and not the quality I saw online.
I returned it. Doubt I'll buy a dress on here again. It's too hard to see the quality of the material. Guess it's back to the shopping in person for me!

Beautiful silhouette
I love the shape of this dress - so flattering, even for a curvy size 14! I bought it for work and it is modest enough to look professional while keeping me both comfortable and cool. The navy print is a beautiful retro pattern on a nice scale. My only gripe about the dress is that the fabric is thin. For the price, I expected fabric with a heavier hand. However, it is lined, so at least the construction is high in quality and it is not see-through.

Flirty dress, perfect for summer!
I bought this in both pink and cornflower blue. I only wish the navy had been available in my size, too! This is one Baby Bear of a dress; nothing is too big or too small, everything fits just right! The fabric is really nice and I love the length. I'm forty six and I don't want to wear dresses that make me look like I raided my sixteen year old's closet, but, I do want to look pretty. This flirty dress is the perfect answer!

This dress is flattering & a true classic!
This is the second year I have bought a dress with this cut in different prints. It's great quality and is a very flattering dress. If I didn't need SOME variety in my wardrobe, I'd fill my closet with these in every print! The only small downside is that the cut is low, so it's necessary to wear a cami to stay modest.
