Textured Crepe Notch Collar Wraparound Dress: Choose this if you want a short, lined wrap dress for business or dressy evening settings: it is made of delicately textured stretch crepe designed to drape fluidly, with a satiny lining, side buttons, a notch collar with V-neck wrap front, long buttoned cuffs, and a straight hem ending at or just above the knee, in Black or Grape/Dark Crimson across sizes SMALL to XX-LARGE. Reviewers found it well-made and polished, and noted the neckline is lower than pictured, which suits those wanting a sexier, more décolletée look. Be aware it reportedly runs large all over—sizing down is advised—and petite frames may need tailoring since the proportions are cut generously.[1,2,3]Jewel Buttons Straight-Fit Crepe Dress: Choose this if you want a short, straight-fit dress in a flowy yet heavyweight crepe that drapes beautifully, with a polo collar accented by four pearly buttons and short puff sleeves. The above-the-knee design comes in Black and Pink across sizes X-Small to XX-Large, with fabric partially made from recycled plastic bottles. Note that the dress is unlined.[4]Draped Collar Satiny Dress: Choose this if you want a light, fluid satiny dress with a draped cowl collar and long buttoned-cuff sleeves in a fit-and-flare shape that slims the waist and falls to just above the knees. It is made from satin that is 100% polyester from recycled plastic bottles, with sizes from X-Small to XX-Large in Chocolate/Espresso or Slate Blue. Note that it is unlined, so consider that if you prefer a backed fabric against the skin.[5,6,7]

Dress

★★★★★michelle d.

Liked the dressa lot but it was too big all over.

Wrong proportions for a petite person

★★★★★Elizabeth H.

This dress is well made and would make a very nice outfit for a business or formal evening. Sadly though the proportions did not fit my petite frame.

Qualité

★★★★★Josée R.

Le tissu est de qualité, la robe est doublée et possèede deux belles boutonnières intérieures. Plus décolletée que sur l'image.

Material

★★★★★Rosa A.

I did not like the feel of the material. I was expecting the dress to look classic. Unfortunately I was rather disappointed & didn’t even try the dress on. Had to answer something in terms of fit so that this feedback was accepted.
