You will be amazed at the great fit of this must-have print dress. The flattering surplice styling, waist shaping, shirred side seam and an attractive A-line shape really work wonders. Three-quarter length raglan sleeves. Soft cotton with a touch of stretch for clothing comfort and fit. Dress it up or down with ease. Cheery floral prints or classic solids. Approx. length: misses' dress 53-1/2". Was: $89; NOW: $79.

Perfection,
April 8, 2008
By Rhodafrom Houston, TX
"I received compliments from everyone! I never had so many double takes in my life. The dress fit perfectly and never had to be adjusted and there were no wrinkles. I am purchasing every other color available in my size. This is definitely a closet staple."

Love It,
July 15, 2008
By mom2
"Just received this dress in the blue floral print. Has an excellent fit. Love the light stretch fabric that has a durable feel to it. I hesitate to buy clothes from a catalog because they rarely fit right when I get them. I am extremely happy with this purchase. It is long, so may hem it up just a bit. Considering another one in a solid color. Appreciate the care taken in packing my order. Looked so nice wrapped in tissue with thank you card attached with label. Makes it seem like someone cared. I will definitely consider making another purchase."

I love this dress!,
June 26, 2008
By KPSimon
"I love this dress! The fabric is really wonderful. It's not too thin or clingy, which is a problem I've had with other wrap dresses I've tried from other places. The fabric is a nice substantial knit, but it doesn't prevent it from looking classic and tailored. It's not TOO stretchy either. As others have said, you can easily dress it up or down. I plan on buying more in other colors."

The Best Dress I've Ever Owned,
June 24, 2008
By Nellyfrom Brooklyn, New York
"This dress is very soft and very long. I am 5"4' and without shoes the hem sits 1 1/2 inches off the floor. It's perfect when I where heels. The pattern is fantastic. I wear a 16-18 on top and a 14-16 on bottom. The XL (misses) fit great. It does however show the "extra bulges" in the back but with the right bra, I have no problem. My other issue is that the neckline exposes too much cleavage for my modest taste. I fix that with a cami underneath the dress. It really is a shame there are not more sizes available."

WHOA~,
June 17, 2008
By Leilarosefrom Houston, Texas
"That is what my boyfriend said when he saw it. Ladies.....YOU MUST GET THIS DRESS I am 5'7 at about 155 lbs with a little extra tummy and THIS does wonders! The cleavage is great yet not tacky or trashy. Being a print you would think one would look larger but no, contraire......i looked lighter! I want to get another one but it would be obvious that I was trying to get too much of a good thing. Maybe a solid color next. Oh, I got the black and white...I just love this. Just wish that they had COUPONS for us regular customers like other merchants do....and not just 10 off at the outlet. A+ for this dress!"

Best Fit ever,
May 8, 2008
By CynAmezfrom St Mary's County MD
"This dress has everything...thicker fabric to cover pantylines, long length to cover calves, higher neckline for this type of cross over style, which usually causes me problems when I sit (I prefer modest coverage). The gathering at the waist is very flattering. The A-line is great for larger hips. My only complaint is the lack of availability. I wear an 18 top and 20 or 22 pants. The XL fits perfectly becuase of the A-line. I just don't understand why these fashionable styles can't be made in women's sizes. The XL is very limited in most colors, I know I tried to order every one available. Thanks."

not right for me,
April 29, 2008
By daisyaurafrom Los Angeles, CA
"I was not happy with this dress and I'm going to have to send it back. The material was not soft t-shirt cotton like I had hoped, but rather stiff. I have to admit when I looked at the cross-over-the- breast detail I wondered if that would be a strange cut on my fuller figure-- I'm a 38-D and I need to camoflage a bit rather than attract attention-- and my instincts were correct; it was not flattering. Also, the front is so baggy! Way too much puckered material at the waist. Too bad, though, because it looks like such a clean fitting, tailored dress."

Hips or no hips?,
April 11, 2008
By Edinafrom Claremont, CA
"I loved this dress when it arrived! Then it turned out that the design of this dress really favors women with substantial hips. I'm 5'7"/135 and doesn't have a boyish figure, but not strong in the hips. If you are of the slender type, this dress may not be for you. I'm holding my breath for an XS ..."

The Perfect Black Dress,
April 10, 2008
By Suzy2910from Boca Raton, FL
"Although this dress is featured in a print, I bought the solid black. It's everything I was looking for; super-flattering fit for a fuller, hourglass-type figure; soft of course (I don't wear anything that isn't soft). The stretch is forgiving of a few pounds more or less. Wear it with a wide belt and matching shoes and bag - and wow! My husband's eyes popped when he saw me in this dress."

Great spring dress,
April 8, 2008
By Peachpinefrom Atlanta
"I wore this dress to a wedding last weekend, right out of the Soft Surroundings box, and it was the perfect spring dress! I got several compliments. I will also wear it, with sandals instead of pumps, to outdoor concerts here in Atlanta this season."

The Best Dress Ever!,
April 1, 2008
By NJW61from Hempstead, New York
"I saw this and thought it would be great, but never imagined it would be so great! I am 47 and a size 18 and yet very young looking. I am not ready to dress like an old lady! This dress is fantastic for a womanly figure (and I'm sure awesome in ANY size). The dress is incredibly flattering, and so comfortable. The stretchy fabric is smoothing but not a drop clingy. The fabric drapes across your belly area hiding any flaws and the back is ample enough for those with a bigger bottom. I loved this so much I went and bought another in a solid color. This dress is a can't go wrong purchase for someone who wants to get back into dresses while feeling comfortable and hip at the same time."

The Perfect Dress!!!,
March 28, 2008
By LilithMoonfrom Minneapolis, MN
"I adore this dress! I purchased it in solid black and couldn't be happier with it. The fit is wonderful - not too tight anywhere with a nice drape. I am 5' 7" and a size 16. I ordered the large. If you are between sizes my recommendation is to go with the smaller as this may run a little big but for me it was just right. It is quite long and if that is not quite right for you go with the petite. I cannot say enough positive things about this dress. You will not be disappointed with it. Great for work with flats or boots, a pair of dress shoes and some glitzy jewelry take it easily into evening, or pair it with sandals and a little sweater for running errands on the weekend. Perfect, perfect, perfect. I am ordering more colors as I can see this dress becoming a wardrobe staple."

Gorgeous dress,
March 21, 2008
By Shannonfrom Richmond, VA
"I absolutely love this dress. The bodice is very flattering. I did have to take it to an alteration shop to have the bottom part of the dress taken in. It was a bit too generous from the waist down (I bought a Medium). Overall, I would have rated it a 5 if the bottom weren't so big."

FABulous Dress,
March 5, 2008
By jrgamztfrom Lynn Haven FL
"Fit is grand. Very flattering. I ordered the green print and will also purchase the solid blue. Love the long length, great "maxi dress." Will pair with Havaianas flip flops. Plan to wear for day and night. Think the 3/4 sleeves are perfect. I have a healthy bottom and a smaller waist and this dress fits beautifully. Fabric is nice and soft, as you would expect."

Great dress!,
March 3, 2008
By Toodlesfrom Oklahoma City
"I love this dress! The fit is great and the style can take you almost anywhere. I bought the short sleeve version last year and was thrilled when the new dress came out this spring. I'll probably get another one soon! My only issue is that the hem can roll when the dress is washed and can be a challenge to smooth out."

Fabulous dress,
March 1, 2008
By moemoefrom Tulsa, OK
"This dress is very flattering. It's perfect for a cruise, a trip to Hawaii, or other tropical sites. Great quality but remember to order the petite if you are 5'4 and under. It is supposed to be ankle length. Get several!"

Just Perfect,
February 12, 2008
By Clotheshorsefrom Southern California
"This dress is the most perfect spring/summer dress I've seen! The style is very flattering to a bigger bust and/or hips. It is a bit long, even for a tall gal like me (5'11), but flattering all the same. The colors and prints are just gorgeous (purchased the blue, black, green print and blue print). It is practical, easy to care for, and can go casual or dressy....awesome quality and super price for something I'll wear again and again."
