I'm a fan of a stretchy wrap or faux wrap and they're generally flattering on me. When I dressed for work, it looked nice, but I know these things can shift so I grabbed a safety pin for the neckline for my conservative workplace. I tried wearing it pin-less and spent my first meeting pulling up my dress to cover my chest. When I tried to pin the neckline, the fabric wasn't on board and I couldn't make it work. A self conscious day. Never again. Sorry Ralph.

Too small! I'll try a bigger size, if they have one.

Felt comfortable and cute in this for a Cape Cod wedding. Used a black shawl for Mass and then unwrapped for the reception. Wore it with black tights and simple black heels. Was able to easily move and dance.

I liked this for work, though the pockets are such that I couldn't really put anything in them without a weird gape. The fabric is close enough to jersey that it's right on the borderline of too casual for my office, but it worked well with black tights and booties and a nice, substantial necklace.

The fabric was comfortable and professional-looking, and I liked the color. I love a dress with a pocket you can actually use -- so much that I bought this one!
