Fits true to size based on
30 customer reviewsWhat customers are saying:
Customers generally liked the dress’s flattering, polished look, especially the waist-defining shape and the way it works well for office wear. Fit is often praised for customers with a smaller waist and fuller hips, though several people suggested checking length carefully since it runs shorter than expected, especially for taller customers. A common note was that the fabric wrinkles easily, so it may need a bit more care to keep looking crisp through the day. Overall, it seems like a cute, well-cut dress with a strong silhouette, but the shorter hem and wrinkle-prone material are worth keeping in mind.

If you're a size 2, maybe...
July 16, 2019I am a J.Crew devotee. All of my work dresses are J.Crew. I saw this dress, and frankly, I gravitate more toward the style Resume dresses, with the classic lines and forgiving fabric. The good reviews made me want to try this dress, and I'm sorry I did. I don't know if it's the houndstooth pattern or the weird ruching in the middle, but this thing made me look pear-shaped, and I'm a true J.Crew size 4. The cut of the dress, along with the ruching draws the eye to the middle of the dress, and the belt ties just below the ruching to make it appear as if the tie is making the ruche, a la a burlap potato sack tied off with twine. This dress made me look 20 lbs heavier, and my top half two cups larger (which isn't necessarily a good thing because I'm a D cup). I think it would work if you're a size 0 or 2. Otherwise, it's an odd mess.

if you are a pear/hourglass, this dress is for you
April 12, 2019If you have a small waist compared to your hips, this dress is absolutely your best friend. I'm a bit of a pear, and it makes me an hourglass. Both sexy and professional. The neck is great, too--you work-appropriate (not low), but it's not an unflattering crew-neck. Oh, and the tie comes off. I snipped the threads at the sides, and the tie stays up just fine without it. But I have the option of wearing it with another belt, or beltless. A warning that if you are an apple or ruler shape, this dress may not work for you. On me (35 27 37.5) it is divine. If this came in more colors, I'd buy them.

Great spring dress, seems shorter than advertised
March 11, 2019The dress is a wonderful, light material that is great for spring. The cut is flattering, especially with the waist detail. Somewhat unfortunately, you need to be able to tie the bow yourself. Only problem is that it seems shorter than advertised. Typically 39" hits me right above the knee, but this dress hit me several inches above and was just too short for me to wear to work, even if I let the hem down. Very disappointing, so I had to return it. If you're on the shorter side, this dress would be great!
