The faux wrap part seems confusing. I’d rather have a real wrap so I can cinch it around to fit my body. I’d be leery of ordering anything like this online without trying it out first, but maybe I’ll check http://www.gatheringguide.com to see if any stores near me carry something similar. I like how it looks on the model a lot.

I loooooove this dress and I actually own one, only it’s black. And yes, I have big arms, but this dress really slims me down:)

I’m surprised – I was thinking this would look better on someone with a smaller bust. I’d be afraid this might look a little more like something you’d wear on a date or out for drinks than something you should wear to work. Aside from that, I think it’s beautiful and a great fall color.

You could probably wear a long-sleeve shirt underneath, or even a button-down might be an interesting look.

This is really cute. I wish it came in petite sizes.

I love this dress! If I get an actual job this summer I am so going to be buying this. The color will layer really well with grey and black for the winter (I think) and would also look nice with a lighter colored contrasting cardigan for the summer.

As someone who is also blessed with um, linebacker shoulders and arms that wave back at me, I always wear cardigans with anything cap-sleeved or sleeveless.

I agree. It’s cold (and getting colder) where I live. I need a dress with some sleeves! You can’t put a jacket/cardigan with everything.

It’s one of the Nordstrom house brands, along with Classiques Entier. The Semantiks brand is cheaper, and not surprisingly, of lower quality, though some things are fine. I like it for more trendy items, as the durability is less of an issue. I do have several items from Classiques Entier and am very impressed with the quality and styling of the clothes.

I did look this up under dresses recommended for pear-shaped women and it was not listed. I still had some hope, but it sounds like it really is a bad choice for us based on your review. Oh well.

Love, love, love this! Will be running down to Nordstrom to try this on soon!
