Side Pleat Sheath Dress

I love the quality of fabric, the color, and the modest design of this dress. (I purchased the dark teal, called Parasailing) The length is perfect, but I feel it runs one size larger than my other size 8 dresses. I am 5' 6" and 140 lbs. The fabric and lining weights work well for chilly early spring days in northeast USA. The back darts give the design a tailored look and the zipper and closure are well sewn. The top of the back vent is missing its topstitching which would keep is from gapping when worn. The arm length is to my wrist so I would consider it a long-sleeved dress. The front neckline was too wide for me, and the shoulders seams sat a bit below my shoulders. The front gathers allowed for too much body mass for my body shape. I am taking the dress back and trying to decide if I should order a size 6 because I really do like this dress.

This dress is very comfortable and it is flattering. I bought 18w and the fitted sheath style with the gather on one side is classic and could work for a variety of occasions. I am very happy with it.

Love the dress, perfect fit. Use size chart.

This dress fit perfectly. The side pleat is what makes the dress.

Love this style very chic
