Departure Long-Sleeve Wrap Dress

I love the color (got the blue) and the thin material is not as see through as you would think. It would be great on a warm day as it really feels like you are wearing nothing! Super comfy! But, I just don't think it is flattering. The wrap makes me look very "hippy". I am 5'6'' medium, 145 pounds with a 34D. If I lived where it was really hot, I'd consider keeping. I am sending it back. I really wanted to like this. If you are tall and thin, and get hot easily, this is the dress for you. Unfortunately, not me..

First, I love this fabric for how easy it is - lightweight, stretchy, no need to baby it, etc. That being said, it's not warm at all, and I wouldn't wear it in hot weather, so you gotta have the right adjunct pieces or just relegate this to a shorter weather-window. I have trouble with most EB clothing due to the cut/fit model, but I keep looking because they have some tall options. I don't know if this dress never came in tall or I missed it. BUT - the waist is pretty well at the waist and not too far above it. As usual, for my broad shoulders and overall length, I sized up to a L for regular sizing vs tall. It is big and blousy in the rib/torso area, but I feel like it would just be too short in overall length in M and I'd never get my hands in the pockets. Plus, the skirt is really A-line.... short in that makes you look like you need a lollipop and lace socks. I think the extra tie for the wrap skirt portion could have been placed better - a wind can still take the top layer farther than I'd prefer. But the v is nice and deep, and it actually has a waist! So it still looks totally fine and mostly proportional. Love one-piece dressing, and I am a dress girl cause that's easiest to fit me and my non-average bod.
