Some of our latest threadjacks include:
That doesn’t seem like a corporate job appropriate outfit.
I agree with anon – way too short for work. And I’m tall so probably even shorter on me. Short skirts are a huge no-no at my corporate office.
Although I think the length is perfectly fine (although about as short as I would go), the details of the lace and the “bib” look of the top remind me of the dresses I wore as a toddler… making the “onesie” size option a little too appropriate IMO!
Wow, this is a tough crowd to please. I think this is a beautiful dress and I could totally wear it to my BigLaw California job (with or without a cardigan). But I don’t understand what “onesie” means as far as sizing.
I agree with Cat. If you’re trying to shed your “stop treating me like a woman who needs to be coddled” image at the office, this is not the dress to do it in.
TPS, get it together!
I love this dress, and I would definitely wear it on casual Fridays or with a crisp white jacket if I didn’t have a client meeting. But I agree with CS- what does “onesie” mean? I’m definitely too short to wear a one-size-fits-all dress…
Sadly, it’s out of stock at the moment. Oh well.
