What a fit! This fashionable wrap-look print summer dress turns curves into valuable assets, thanks to flattering surplice styling, waist shaping, shirred side seam and attractive A-line flare. Short raglan sleeves. Soft cotton knit with a touch of stretch for comfort and fit. Dresses up or down with ease. We love this petite dress's bright, bold floral print. Cotton/elastane. Petite clothing is 50" long.

the best dress ever,
July 9, 2008
By spodesmomfrom NC
"This dress is so unbelievably great! It is very comfortable, but even more stylish and flattering. I got oodles of complements when I wore it, and I can already tell this will be my favorite dress of the summer. Mine is the cherry red print and it is fantastic. Buy, buy, buy!"

Pleasantly surprised!,
June 24, 2008
By LAC1295from Fitchburg, MA
"I was hesitant to purchase this dress. I thought the floral print would be too much. But I trusted the reviews I read and I am so glad I did. I love this dress! The floral print is beautiful. The material is great! A quick press and I was good to go. I have worn this twice and got so many compliments. It is very easy to dress up or wear with a pair of flip flops. One note, I am 5' 5" and I ordered petite. The length was perfect. Long, but not to the floor."

Love this dress!,
June 21, 2008
By Catluvsfabricfrom Wingate, NC
"This dress is so very flattering! I am a seamstress, and I really appreciate the beautiful fabric and fit of this dress. I am only 5' tall, and the petite xs fits perfectly, I don't even have to hem it, which is unusual for me. The material is beautiful, it is a perfect weight with a bit of stretch for extra moveability. I got the red print, and I absolutely love it. The biggest problem I am having is trying to decide what other color to get it in!"

Lovely Lady,
June 17, 2008
By queenofsolefrom Liverpool, NY
"To my utter delight, this dress is exactly as it appears in the catalog and description! It is extremely flattering in fit, the print is sensational, and it will not wrinkle. Wore it two days after it arrived and everyone wanted to know where to get one! My daughter-in-law can't wait to share!!! "We" got a size small, might have done OK with ES. It is a dress for all sizes, shapes, and ages."

Omission!,
June 16, 2008
By Sewnutfrom SE Pennsylvania
"I just received this dress and tried it on. Cute! Flattering! However, I assumed it was a cotton WOVEN with some Lycra and it is a KNIT! I checked back on the description and did not find the word "knit".
I purchased this dress in the size I would for a woven fabric and it is small, body hugging in a knit. I will exchange it for a larger size as it is a nice product. Please put more information about the fabric in your description and save us all time and money!"

Excellent Purchase,
May 15, 2008
By Loisfrom Litchfield, CT
"I just bought this in RED PXS. I am 5' 4" & only 110 lbs - not much body shape until I put this dress on. It actually gives me some shape. Yeah, finally something to wear that I don't look like a stick in. Also purchased a cami to wear underneath, as the dress has more upper body room than I have body. My shopping partner insisted that I buy this dress and I'm so glad that I listened to her advice. Such a fun dress to wear any place!!"

A joy to wear...,
May 9, 2008
By Noellefrom St. Augustine, Florida
"I, too, bought this in the blueberry print, and would love to see the same style in more prints...perhaps somewhat smaller in scale, especially for those of us who wear petite sizes. The fabric is extremely comfortable, and the style most flattering. This is a fun summer party dress and wonderful to just laze around the house in."

Best Purchase Ever!!!,
August 27, 2007
By luvmydressfrom New England
"I was attracted to this dress when I first saw it - nothing else would do. I had to have it, in blueberry so I ordered it.! Everyone who has seen this dress has commented on how beautiful it is . . . how different . . . how perfect. It's a classic, I'll keep it forever! The slight feel of elastic makes it the perfect fit!"

lovely dress,
June 6, 2007
By EvaLunafrom Miami FL
"I love this dress! I took up the hem because I'm only 5'1" and it looks really great. I get lots of compliments when I wear it. It gives me curves because I'm kind of flat-chested and have a short waist..."

sexy shapely dress for gals with curves,
June 4, 2007
By Diane323from Los Angeles, CA
"what can I say? the cotton makes for a wonderful summer frock; the surplice front makes for attractive cleavage; dress design shows that I have a WAIST, which can all-too-often be missed when you have large breasts like I do. I feel amazing in this dress."
