"Beautiful dress"
This dress is both professional
"This dress is both professional and romantic. It is very comfortable and can be styled in a lot of different ways. I like the little line of peek a boo detailing on the sleeve and hem. It's quite loose and I was worried that it would look bulky, but the proportions are great and the fabric has a good balance of structure and drape. I am wondering how it will breath when it gets warmer though."
Love it!
"I love this dress so much! It washes beautifully, looks polished, but has details that set it apart from just another shirt dress. The rounded collar, full sleeves, and crochet insets really take it to the next level. The overall shape of the dress—a bit of fullness in the skirt—adds flair without being too poufy. I wore 18k gold coin pendant and hoops and a red lip—could have stepped out of one of those old Dolce&Gabbana ads featuring multiple generations of Italian women looking chic, loving life."
Perfect for Me
"When I saw this dress online, I was entranced. I pictured my round, size 26 body magically revealing a waist and the long skirt swirling around my legs as I walked. I did not picture myself being my actual 5 feet and 1. 5 inches tall. When the dress arrived, I was afraid of it. It is a formidable expanse of black, and I could only think of choir robes and pastor garb. After looking at it on a hanger for a week, I bit the bullet and tried it on. The fabric is lovely -- silky feeling inside and flowing without clinging on the outside. The sleeves are big but they aren't stiff and don't puff out. The belt loops are in roughly the right place, given my DDD bust. There is enough hip room but not a lot of gathering in the back with the belt loosely cinched. As I expected, it is very, very long. I will cut off roughly 10-12 inches and hem it to the bottom of my knee. I envision a bright touch of color in my shoes and a soft bright belt (maybe a silky scarf). I'm going to look like a duchess!"
Very versatile
"Love this dress. Can dress up or down. I ordered it big because I wanted it roomy. I can easily cinch with the belt or leave it loose. Fabric is really nice weight, feels like it will be a stample for a very long time."
The perfect dress
"This dress is so comfortable and beautiful, and it washes wonderfully. The pockets are massive! It was purchased for a special event but is quickly becoming my go-to anytime I need to look pulled together but feel completely at ease."
Love
"Love this shirtdress! The feminine details and A-line cut make it different from a classic shirtdress, it feels romantic while still structured. The pockets were a pleasant surprise and the embroidery feels special."
Beautifully detailed and excellent fit.
"I love that this company puts the exact measurements of every garment. Thus dress fits perfectly and is so light and comfortable! I love the hemstitch detail! Great dress."
