Sweaterdresses- seen, or tried any cute ones?

ILoveChoo · Hermes

I tried one at antro that may have been #6 (the black with scoop neck one). It was really cute and soooo comfy but I thought the neck was a little wide and it wasn't quite worth the price.

I tried this Anthro one on:

It was hideous on me. I would normally be a size S and that was gigantic on me. I tried on an XS and it was still huge. I know the top is supposed to be slouchy, but it was just baggy and unflattering, and the bottom was loose too. I didn't like it at all.

Express has these, which I think are cute, but I haven't tried them on yet.

I tried this one at the express, but in gray:

It fit me tts, but the v was so deep that it looked odd on me, even with a cami under it. I think that the v wouldn't look so deep if I had a larger chest. It was reasonably priced, too. I love the anthro dresses that lilyann posted, but I'm scared to look at the prices.

I ordered the BR on and should be getting it soon. I'll give you a review when it arrives.

I have been searching for a while for a cute sweater dress...I tried the gray anthro one, and it fits weird since the waist is not defined, I had the same problem with the vince and laundry sweater dresses. I saw the arden b one IRL, and I did not like the metallic trim on it, otherwise it would be cute. I also thought the express dress was too low on the vneck.

Good luck!

i plan on investing in this one

it's karoo by mark eisen.

it's a bit pricey but the cashmere is so soft. i think it'll be a good piece that will stand the test of time.

Lilykind · Hermes

if this hits the Anthro sale rack for less than $85 it will be mine.

I really want a cashmere one too that's more fitted.

I saw someone trying this sweater dress on in athro the other day as a maternity dress and it was totally cute...just in case someone is looking for maternity wear.

I this one so much on you! You must get it!

This one is funky, but I still think it's adorable (esp. if you wear the belt properly). However, I don't $160 love it.

I found an amazing chocolate brown sweater dress at my Anthro last night and I can't find it anywhere on their website to show you guys! It has buttons going down the front and a wide neckline-- it is really pretty and flattering. And it was $69 marked down from $120. So go sift through Anthro's sale section-- there could be sweaterdresses hiding in there!

Oh and I also stopped by Express to try on their sweaterdresses. Cute but the neckline is absolutely ridiculous. It came down below my bra! And I'm not particularly small-chested. Not sure who they're targeting with that dress ;)
