Lovely color and fabric but lots of problems
I bought this dress in a size medium, which is what I usually wear in Eileen Fisher clothes, but it doesn’t fit well, or at least not on me. It is too long, grazing the top of my feet. It is tight in the shoulders and arms if I do anything other than let my arms hang by my sides. It is blousy in the middle section with more fabric than is needed. I plan to return this dress and ask for a refund.

Velvet Bateau Neck Dress
I love the dress and everyone complimented me on it! I wish there was a long sleeve bubble hem dress for winter but I am so happy I found this!

Beautiful dress -- wishing for Petite.
This is a beautiful dress, and can be accessorized to dress up or down. But I wish that a petite size had been available. I did hem about 3 inches, to keep it from hitting the floor.

Bateau Neck Long Velvet Dress
The style is fine if you're ok with baggy. The dress is washable, so I kept it. Disappointed that it has a crushed velvet texture. The description didn't indicate that it was anything other than smooth velvet.

Elegant dress
I just received this dress today and it is so lovely. I am 5 10 and the dress in size small fits perfectly. Can be worn casually or assessorized for special occasions. The fabric is so soft. I just love it.

Sad
Unfortunately this dress wasn't available in petite sizes. I ended up having to return it as the sleeves were just too long for me. (size XS)
