Oh.My.Stars. Seriously, stop what you’re doing right now and order this dress. I had one of those moments that when I put this dress one, I felt this ridiculous urge to share it with…ANYONE, so, of course I text my two closest girlfriends and demand that they also stop what they were doing and buy this dress. I mean, what are friends for?!
Phew. I know I sound 10 shades of crazy right now but I swear, if this dress came in other colors I would buy them all. ALL of them. (it does…green and navy. get that one, too!)
It’s comfortable, it’s SO flattering, and the knit is just perfect. It’s got a stretch to it but, again, it’s shaped so well that it doesn’t hug anywhere it shouldn’t hug.
Buy it. Do it now.
AND, you’re welcome!
Oh – wait. How much are we loving this new waist-tying trend? Clearly I’m a fan. Little details that make my happy, right? Right.
Have a great day!

Katie says
Love this look! Quick question…when I click the link for the dress it just shows red and black…no navy or green option?
Hope you are feeling well and that your baby girl decides to make her appearance soon. My first baby was over a week late (so I know that feeling)
Maureen says
Hi Katie! Bummer, right? I guess navy was their color last year and now they’re offering the black and red. I’m wondering if it will be here later? Either way, I bought both new colors because it’s such a comfortable, well fitted dress! I love it! 🙂
Thank you!!! She’s leisurely taking her time, right?! Haha – I hope she comes soon! I’m ready to hold her!!!

I’m also wondering about the fit of this dress. I’m currently 6 months pregnant, so is it a dress that is going to stretch without getting incredibly short as my belly grows?
Thanks!
Maureen says
Hi Sarah! I actually wore this dress pregnant!!!! I have a picture on Instagram about 18 weeks ago if you scroll back, it’s just a picture from my closet. I guess I would have been 22 weeks when I wore it. I hope that helps!!! The dress is ponte knit so it has a ton of stretch!!! I’m sure it would get shorter as the belly got bigger, though. It will surely be there for you after baby, though! It’s pretty classic. 🙂

Hi- I was wondering how this dress holds its shape over time? Does it stretch out at all? I just got it and I’m debating whether I should try and exchange it for one size down or not. It fits well in some spots, but it feels a little bit too baggy in the waist. I think if it holds the shape it will be comfortable for fall, but if it stretches out at all it will get too shapeless. Any thoughts? I love the feel of the knit- it is really comfortable! Thank you.
