Rated 5 out of 5 by CurvyOne Pleasantly Suprised
I was skeptical with this purchase as I am hard to fit. Dresses usually run too small in the hips and too big in the bust. Hence, I usually stick with a skirt and top. I was pleasantly surprised with the fit and quality of this dress. I am VERY curvy and the dress fell smoothly over my hips and thighs without being too big on top. It is true to size for me. The tencel fabric feels soft and lovely. It is also wrinkle free and a little more heavy than I expected but I believe it adds to the quality of the dress. I like the roll tab on the sleeves as well because it makes it a 3/4 sleeve length. I do not like material on my lower arms when I am using my computer. I am 5'4" and the hem of the skirt hits at my knee cap. I plan to order the khaki dress today.

Fabric is heavy but clings in spots. Unflattering cut - unless wearer is extreme and I mean extreme pear shaped.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Shopasaurus Discriminating shopper
I have been an LLBean shopper for many years and will continue as one. This particular dress was a disappointment because of the fabric. It is too thin and the dress did nothing for me. The other shirt dress I purchased from the Signature collection last year was in wool, and I love it. If this dress had been made in wool, I would have kept it. I ordered it in a size small, and the fit was perfect, but I sent it back for the above reasons.

I actually picked this up at a yard sale. It still had all of the tags and as a huge fan of LLBean, I snatched it up right away. I found the dress on the site to see what kind of value I got, and to let others know how really great this dress is.
I am 5'4" 145lbs. I have the dress in size small.
I have a little waist and moderate chest, but curvy hips and booty. This dress is extremely flattering and has plenty of "give" room. It doesn't cling or pull anywhere and the fabric lays smooth and flows over curves. It's very slimming and has an understated chicness to it. It would be fantastic for a variety of places and events and can be dressed up or down easily.
I noticed that other reviewers have qualms about the length. The dress hits about an inch above my knee.
Overall a great dress in a very high quality fabric. I would pay full price for it. My only complaint is that it doesn't come in more colors as I would probably purchase another.

Rated 4 out of 5 by artcarol Wardrobe Basic Dress
Dress is what I was looking for as a basic to my wardrobe. Material is a good weight and will be great for Fall, Winter and Spring. I am 5'4" ant thought the dress would be a respectful length for a woman my age. Length came to mid knee. I prefer a liitle longer length. Not enough length to let out the hem.

Rated 2 out of 5 by LafayetteGama Not as described
Like others, I wanted to love this dress. I would love this dress if it were as described--"falls slightly below the knee."
I ordered a small, I am 5' 4" tall and weigh 124. This dress was 3 inches above my knee!!! That's not even close, and not acceptable. The rest of the fit was good. Sorry I will have to return it. Fabric and drape are great. Very disappointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by NJgirlInKS Love this dress!
I absolutely love this dress. As another reviewer said - it's simply: classy. The fabric is soft enough to be comfortable but sturdy enough to look professional and wash/dry well. It's cuter in person than in the photographs on the site. I'm going to buy another one. My only complaint is that this same dress isn't available in more colors - I would buy them all!
