I like the dress. I would wear it to work with low black rounded heels or black rounded boots, gold bangle bracelet and without the belt.

Thanks for all of the recommendations ladies! I am going to try the Jackson fit at BR, I think I may have tried the Martin fit last time and it looked terrible on me.

AIMS – is BB stand for Brooks Brothers? I couldn’t find anything called that on their website.

LOL — I know, the Editor Pant is usually great but I’ve noticed that it’s a bit slim in my thigh area and is probably no longer as flattering as it once was. Believe me, I have spent a LOT of time in those pants though, it’s a good value overall.

Oooh though I will admit that I have used Dryel at home on my BR pants, and they come out looking perfectly fine!

I love the Banana Republic 215 Martin trouser pant (http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=6731&vid=1&pid=670846), but looking at the BR site now, it looks like the Jackson fit is better for those curvier on the bottom (which is what pear means, right?). I’m unfortunately as uncurvy as they get, but I guess I can at least vouch for the quality of BR pants as an everyday black pant – these are my favorite. They are fully lined, but they do have to be dry-cleaned, so I do have other black pants that I can wash at home. But I always feel best in these!

Yes, I do think you have to be careful at the limited, but as a very thin person (but too tall for petite sizing at better stores like Banana and J.Crew), it’s one of the only places suits fit without having to get taken in. I’m in my late 20s, and while I wouldn’t wear most things from The Limited, I occasionally find an acceptable item; and many of their suits (I think there is a wider selection online) are quite nice and affordable – wouldn’t wear them in court, but look fine on an average day in the office. It’s the only suit I can get in a size 0 that doesn’t need to be taken in.

BEAUTIFUL dress. Makes me wish I weren’t a redhead and could wear the red version.

It’s always 4 numbers in the difference. (I remember visiting Boston a lot, going to Filene’s and being constantly irritated by the large sign outside the changing rooms saying it was 2 numbers in the difference!)

I’m a 10 in Ireland – we use UK sizes – and always a 6 in America.

Really? Is it time to upgrade from my Editor pants? But they fit SO WELL!
