Elegant, Flattering Dress

I got this dress in black and it is very flattering. I like the fabric, which is rayon & spandex, not cotton as described by one reviewer. It is medium weight and seasonless, depending on whether you layer or wear it on its own with bare legs and sandals. I have several longer black or navy dresses and would describe this one as being on the dressy side, but nothing you can't make more casual with denim, leather or a chunky sweater on top, plus a lower heel, chunkier shoe or boot. The little cap sleeves are very flattering and versatile and the neckline is beautiful. I find Karen Kane to be a reliable label with consistent sizing that is true to my usual fit.

Fabric is thinner than expected. I could see my undergarments under various indoor lighting.

Not for girls with bumps

Notice how you can see the models' leg through the dress. I thought this dress would fall better but it is knit-clingy and will show bumps. It's a very nice dress if you are slender. It's well made. It's just not for me...

flattering and comfortable dress.

This is a good quality, very flattering dress that fits perfect for my figure ....I am 5'4 and 120 lbs. Well made. Material is just heavy enough to avoid underwear lines. Dress it up or casual. I got it in black and navy it fits so well.

Beautiful Dress

This dress is just gorgeous with a few caveats. It is described as having cap sleeves but really fits more like a wide tank strap, not like shown on the model. Also, if you have any curves, lumps, bumps at all then consider sizing up. I am 5'3" and weigh 113, normally an XS. I bought an XS and S and returned the XS which was way too clingy. The S glides over everything around the middle better while still being close fitting. Great value and should be a good travel dress. Hem was perfect length for me.

Perfect Black dress

Very impressed with this dress. I was ambivalent about this when I purchased it on line. I was looking for an easy piece for an upcoming trip. Lately so many dresses in the marketplace have such sheer and skimpy fabric. When I received it, I was so impressed. Perfect fit, nice weight fabric. I liked that the neckline was a touch high and the back detail is nice. I also was pleasantly surprised by the seeming detail that you can't see in the picture. It gives the dress a little more shape and movement. This was a winner for me.
