NN dress review for Bloomie

Bateau-neck dress
At $49 I would not be thrilled with the dress. But, with it being marked down to $39, plus a 20% off coupon code and a free shipping code, I'm happy with my $32 purchase.

Taking a second look at the description, it is pretty accurate.

"Bateau-neck dress - Elegant dress in polyester/rayon ponté knit. Side zip; 25" from waist (23" Petite). Machine wash. Imported."

It is a little darker than I expected, but not in a bad way. The straps are a little more thin than I expected, but fell where my bra straps do, so no complaints. I don't expect it to wash well, so I will hand wash it, so it doesn't pill (it seems like it would be prone to those teeny-tiny pills that you can't pick off well).

It fits true to size. I think it will be easy to dress up and down in various ways, and I'm keeping it.

I tried several coupon codes from retailmenot.com until I found 2 that would work.

I have that dress and have gotten a lot of wear out of it. I like that it has stretch - it's very comfortable at the office all day.  I have worn it primarily with an ellen tracy black boatneck jacket, my big black fendi belt, and black pumps -- I feel very "audrey" in this ensemble aww

I also recently bought this michael kors cardigan (smart bargains, and i think there's only petites left), and noticed the grey is a good match (even though there are subtle blue & beige pinstripes in the dress and the sweater has burgundy accents - it still works) I may wear this on monday smile
