Cowl Neck Side Ruched Knit Dress

This will be a great, and easy to wear dress. It’s a slightly thicker fabric, but it drapes/moves nicely. I almost want to try a medium, but these small works. This fit is flattering (even for my perimenopausal pooch that seems to have come from nowhere). The color is almost black. 5’5”, 140-145 lbs…short waisted, and 47 yo. 32DD.

On me, this dress in my size (S) fits well from the waist down. But the top of it is too big and a bit sloppy, so it ends up not flattering in toto. The armhole gaps droop down low showing my bra sloppily. IRL there's too much material piling up there at the decollatage--It makes someone with any chest look matronly. For reference, I am 5'8", 117 lbs, with an athletic Nordic frame (shoulders same proportion as hips, smaller waist, longer torso but also short rise and 32" inseam). I will take this dress to the tailor to fix it. The material is quality, but nothing special. I am a sucker for Vince's Coastal Blue color; it is a perfect dark blue. The just knee-hiding length of the skirt is excellent for a woman of vintage.

I liked this dress in person more than I thought I would. It is a thickish knit with a lovely drape. Unfortunately for me, I was between sizes, with one too small/tight and the next size up was WAY too large. I wasn't sure how to rate the sizing -- true to size? Too small? Too large? All of the above? If it fits you, it will be an easy wearing, comfortable dress.

Bought this at the anniversary sale because the price was right (Vince!). Didn’t have a particular event in mind when I purchased it but it seemed like it had the potential to be one of those sleeper wardrobe items. Definitely will be that: I see wearing it with sneakers and a jean jacket for work (librarian) or travel. I can also dress it up with heels or boots and a blazer. The ruche is flattering as is the cowl neck, but the high cut sleeves keep it from being matronly. I’m 5’4.5 and I like that it hits above the knee and not mid shin. I think the versatility of this dress will be its super power. The only thing I’d say is that this looks black, not blue, to me—even held up against my blacks and navy clothes. It’s black.

This dress fit TTS. It was a thicker knit than I expected, but I like that because of the blasting AC in most places I need to be. It is comfortable and flattering and just easy.

The fit was good and the fabric is good quality and soft. It’s a great dress for work but also can be casual as well.

This might be the sleeper of the anniversary sale for me. Needed a good base layer dress to wear casually with tennis shoes or dress up for work. This is it. It is perfectly figure fitting without being body con, hugs in the rich places, super soft and comfortable AND machine washable and can tumble dry this. Great price for what will be an incredibly versatile dress.

Great travel dress! Dress it up with kitten heels or down with white sneskets. The thickness is perfect and great quality. 5'5, 150 lbs, 36D fits perfect!
