This dress is immaculate. It feels sophisticated, timeless, and feminine. Fully ribbed garments aren’t always my favorite because I am apple shaped and very short waisted, so ribbed dresses often cling to my lower stomach in an unflattering way; however, this dress does none of that. The knitting in this is engineered brilliantly to be ribbed, yet still have a true soft flare/a-line shape overall. It’s so flattering, even without any smoothing/shaping garments underneath. I’d love to have the same cut with the same/similar details in other colors. The sleeves were a bit short on me, but they look equally adorable pushed up slightly, and I have really long arms, so I’m used to nothing being quite long enough.
I’m 5’10” and ordered an XL. I usually get a L in Ellie/Athena styles.
