Wednesday’s TPS Report: Donna Ricco Sleeveless Sheath Dress
This post may contain affiliate links and Corporette® may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We begin the week in splurge mode, with our most expensive suggestions, and wind our way to Friday, where a less expensive item of clothing might be just what you need to make it to the weekend. If you've recently seen a great work piece you'd like to recommend to the readers, please e-mail editor@corporette.com with “TPS” in the subject line.

Great dress from Donna Rico, and the pattern is close to perfect. It's primarily vertical, which promises to be flattering; and the pattern itself is bold, but comprised of muted colors, which lets you get away with it at work. We'd wear it with a white cardigan or a cropped jacket, and maybe one or two long, simple necklaces. It's $118 at Nordstrom. Donna Ricco Sleeveless Sheath Dress

soo pretty!
Uh-oh – how many brown-n’-white sleeveless dresses would you say the average attorney can justify having in her wardrobe? Surely I can add just this one extra one? Lovely.
Can we get a few more options for dresses without the pencil skirt? While this is pretty, it does not work on many body types.
Great choices this week Corporette!
love, love love, this one – perhaps the perfect dress
Nice! Do you think this is really dry clean only?
I love it, and just about everything is dry clean only . . . . I understand the body type concern, but for that price I might buy a size up and have it taken in where needed.
Was this dress on What Not To Wear last week?
Mel – I totally agree! More A-line dresses/skirts please
Just bought this dress and love it. Looks great with deep maroon pumps.
