What do you think of this dress?

I like it. But I'm wondering how wearable it really is? And whether it will look really dated in a year or two?

It looks... how should I put it nicely... too casual, especially for the price. Personally I prefer more fitted or structured dresses, which work better for my curvy body. If I had the same body type as the model, than I might consider it but in a different price range.

It doesn't really do anything for me. I also agree with pp- looks ok if you are stick thin but not sure what it would look like with any curves. I don't see it being a wardrobe staple in 1-2 years.

I don't like it and think it would look like a potato sack on most people.

I don't really care for it.

I wouldn't pay $118 for it, honestly. If it was a real deal I may try it, but it's the kind of dress you really need to try on before buying, because you never know how it's goign to look on you.

Okay, then. That's a definite no from the BBB. Funny, the few reviewers on the Garnet Hill site really liked it. But I do agree that it is awfully pricey for something that is casual and probably completely out of style quickly.

Thanks,

Hmm, maybe this reaction means it will be in the clearance section and I can try it then. Or not.

If you're looking for a fun dress with pockets, the Essential Summer Dress from Boden was a favorite for me this year.

I really like it and would buy it- if it cost $40 or less. I'd prefer if it were in a heavier fabric. It looks like it's made of Tshirt material. But, even in a different fabric, I still wouldn't pay full price for it.
