A bit short for work
Soft, substantial merino wool knit. Loved the pattern. Not crazy about the fit. If you're busty or long waisted, the ties that wrap around the dress will end up on your rib cage. Kept adjusting it to make it hang better. I don't like fussing with my clothes, so this wasn't a plus. Also, it was a bit short for work for my height.

Classic well made black sheath
Runs 1 size large. According to the Derek Lam sizing chart, I should be Ital 42, but it was definitely a bit too roomy. Great dress if you're tall or long waisted - this is the only sheath dress I've ever tried on that has a cut that fits my 5'10" frame. Comfortable stretchy but substantial textured fabric. Knee length - work appropriate but great for cocktails as well. Beautiful construction.

Super cute dress
Comfortable, cute, stylish knit dress. The white and blue detailing make it unique. Just long enough to be work appropriate for a tall gal. If you have a long torso or large bust, the torso will probably be a bit short on you. Be aware, if you sit a lot, at the end of the day the back him of the dress will be significantly longer than the front due to the knit fabric stretching out.

Different
Size medium was a perfect fit for my wide shoulders, long arms, and small bust. Linen texture and mustard yellow color made for an unusual piece. Fun to try something I wouldn't ordinarily purchase. Lightweight fabric is perfect for transitional weather.

Nice dress for work
I went up 1 size (from 8 to 10) and the fit was just right for my small bust but wide shoulders, although I wished the sleeves were an inch or 2 longer. Hem fell just above the knee, stylish but work appropriate with ankle booties. I used a brooch pin to keep the V neck a little higher. If you're tall and/or longer waisted, know that the wrap ties will start above your waist. They were at the bottom of my rib cage. Not ideal but okay for a day.

Nice for a day
Color was beautiful. Wore with a long black skirt, black boots, and peacock colored pashmina. Ultimately though, it was a loose flowy top and didn't wow me. Glad I rented it for a day.

Details!
The zipper is tough -- if you're not flexible, you'll need an assist. Substantial fabric, well-constructed -- no bra needed if you're small on top. Base color is navy blue with green stitching. Unusual and unique. Fabric does not stretch -- don't expect to lift your arms over your head. For someone with size 10 shoulders and a size 6/8 body, the dress *just* fit my shoulder width and comfortably skimmed my body, falling just to the tops of my knees -- totally work appropriate. I wouldn't buy this dress b/c I live in knits & like stretch, but it was a great dress for a day.
