Beautiful blue work staple!
I love this dress. It fits me perfectly and is a beautiful cobalt blue. The neckline is unique and classic for work. The dress is narrow around the ribs and waist and then lays nicely over my hips. It gives me a great shape. The material is also light but does not appear to wrinkle easily. I can't wait to wear it!

Black, work-appropriate
This dress is a good option, but the zippers on the hips were stuck and the hips were a little baggy for me.

Pretty pink dress
This dress is a great color, but the shape did nothing for me. The split sleeves plus the vertical seaming and hemline was too much for me.

Beautiful color and style!
I really like this dress, but am renting dresses for work and this was very form fitting and not appropriate for my work environment. I may rent it for another occasion, like a cocktail party or wedding!

Navy, red and white poka dot wrap dress.
I did not realize that this dress is a wrap dress. The fabric is pretty thin (which can be a positive in the summer), but I did not feel comfortable with the wrap or the very deep v-neck. I think I would need a slip dress underneath to feel confident to wear this to work. It is a nice length and shape though, just be prepared with the necessary under garments!

Floral and feminine, and super easy to wear!
This dress is really great! In the photo, it looks like the floral design is on a black background. In person, it's more of a grey-navy color and floral pattern is more jewel toned than pictured (that is, it's not black and super light pink). It's beautiful, hangs well, keeps it shape, and is thick enough to look structured for work but breezy for hot temperatures. It hit me about an inch above my knee. I wore it to work with nude wedges, but plan to wear it casually with sandals.

Nice, structured summer work dress!
My understanding is that this dress runs small through the chest. I have a small chest and curvy hips and this dress fit me perfectly. I am shy of 5' 4" and the dress hit me about 3 inches above my knee. The dress is made of a nice, thick material and it held up nicely throughout the day (that is, a hot and humid summer day in DC). I would rent this style again; however, the lining of this particular dress kept sneaking out at the bottom hem so that was slightly annoying. Overall, I loved this dress and if you want a new option for a navy and white stripped dress, this is it!

I wore this dress to my friends' fall wedding at a resort in the wine country of Virginia.
The fabric has a nice shimmer to it, and it is not heavy. I wore the smaller size for a more fitted look and absolutely loved it. The front slit comes up to about mid-thigh and your legs will show when sitting down. I highly recommend this dress!
