A flattering, no-fuss dress you can wear everywhere. Polished enough for formal dinners, easy enough for flats and a casual day out—plus it “doesn’t need ironing.”

I'm a size 12 but went up a size in this dress. Gorgeous material and the dress falls beautifully. I could have stayed with the smaller size but wanted a slightly looser fit. I wore this to my son's formal graduation dinner and was complimented on the dress. I love this store, have always had great experiences with the clothes and with customer service.
