Rated 2 out of 5 by leptopsylla If the model looks bad...
I so want to order this dress, but I notice something ominous: even the model shows an obvious visible panty line in the rear view, purple. That is a deal breaker for me. The skirt needs to be cut a little more generously at the hip. Also, from the other comments, I would say that women who want long sleeves, and no cling, probably would prefer a less plunging neckline. It is coming close to the ideal dress which I gave away a few years ago because of weight issues, mine. Although I suspect this fabric to be too light, as that is what makes vpl most obvious,

I have one of these in a 2X and it did a fantastic job of making me look good & feel elegant at my mom's 75th birthday dinner while I'm in the middle of losing weight.
Was just online to order two more in smaller sizes and I found you were all out of every size and color in Misses except for XS ! Please please MAKE MORE!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by LizzieT Great dress, but...
I wish you have a version with elbow-length or 3/4 sleeves *and* that it came in more colors that were a little less funereal.
Some jewel-tone blues, garnets, or teal would be wonderful.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LLBeanMinnesotan Excellent value!
This dress is well-constructed and the cotton knit is of superior quality. The dress itself is comfortable, stylish, and can be accesorized for a multitude of uses. Beware that it runs a little small.
Unless the wearer is into showing a lot of chest/cleavage, the dress needs to be worn with some form of a camisole or undershirt. I wear one of those tanktops with a built-in bra which solves all the issues while providing a contrasting color to the charcoal knit. Compliments on this dress abound!

Rated 5 out of 5 by karsmitty2 Nice dress
I agree with the other reviewers who have stated the v-neck is WAY too low on this dress. I normally wear a size 10 or 12 dress, depending on how it is sized through the chest, as I am a 38C bust. The medium fits perfectly. I will wear this dress with a shaper camisole underneath, which eliminates the back fat, smooths things out, and solves the lowness of the front v-neck. A pair of tights and boots, and it's a great dress for cooler temperatures. I think the material and shape of the dress are very flattering. I would like to see LL Bean redesign this dress to eliminate such a low v-neck on it though. I don't know how anyone would feel comfortable wearing this dress without a camisole underneath.

This dress was purchased for our adult daughter and it fits her like a dream. It hangs beautifully and accenuates her figure. It is a dress that is appropriate for many different events.

I am pleased with the very soft and slightly stretchy fabric that fits my curves. Having a larger top , I found the V-neck is a bit revealing so I add a scarf for day wear. Good fit for a short waisted women and the fit does wonders to cover fuller hips.

So very surprized and very glad to see this in a LL Bean Catalog! For us short waisted tall women with heavier tops, this is our best style. Love the long sleeves too. Thanks!!

Love the dress. Fit, style, and fabric are wonderful. Wish it were a little longer, though, or came in a Tall size. May have to get another.
