Marycrafts Women’s Work Office Business Square Neck Sheath Midi Dress

Nice dress
I liked it. Reviews were mixed but I gave it a try. It was pretty and fit well. The material is a little different but not terrible either. Better in Winter than Summer because it doesn’t get the air flow like cotton.Overall, I loved it.

Returned due to fit/ wrong body type – well made
I was incredibly sad to return this item due to the fit being wrong for my body type (rather straight/ athletic with weightlifting thighs), because the fabric texture and sewn princess seam pattern made this dress look much more expensive than it really is. If it were lined (it’s not), it would be White House/ Black Market quality, just made for a different body type.Size 8 was simultaneously too roomy/ large up top while showing the skin tight outline of my butt and quads down to my knees. This fit would be ideal for a curvier fit woman who has a more substantial top than bottom. I’m 5’4″ 135 lb, 31″ waist, and size 8 would probably have been the appropriate size if I were built more like an hourglass than a brick. The dress length hit at the appropriate spot just below my knees, as shown in the photo. This dress would be very cute but modest on a woman who fit the right body type.

BEAUTIFUL dress, wonderful material , BUT…
BEAUTIFUL dress, wonderful material … BUT it is sewn poorly. I can barely raise my arms. I’ll keep it though, because it was on sale for only $19.00 when I purchased it, and I can just sit and “look cute.” Arm area IS disappointing though. Guess that’s why it was so greatly discounted.I KNOW what I am talking about. My Mom was an EXPERT seamstress and made my clothes growning up – including my wedding dress. Many of Amazon dresses have a “waist issue,” where tall women are concerned, but this time it’s the arm area. Otherwise, I would have given this purchase 5 stars.

Elegant, comfortable dress
There is a lot that I love about this dress: its weight and cut and the neckline. It fits a little snug but in a flattering way. The neckline and tailoring create an elegant look while the fabric gives enough that you can move comfortably. The dress came out of the bag without a wrinkle. And that was after being stuffed in my mailbox all day. It falls about 2 inches below my knees, but has a kick vent in the back that allows you to walk. I may or may not hem it. This is a brand you want to order a size up with. I initially ordered an 8, and while i could get it on, it just was too confining. The 10 fits perfect. (I am 5’7″ and weigh 153). My hips are wider than my shoulders, so I was worried the shoulders would be too big, but they aren’t. The fabric may be a bit heavy for warm weather, but I think will be comfortable in air conditioned offices and restaurants. Two negatives I can live with: 1. It will attract lint and dog hair. 2. The zipper tends to stick. Fortunately, the fabric stretches and the neck opening is wide enough that I can pull the dress on over my head without undoing the zipper. That’s one benefit to having narrow shoulders, lol.

Lovely, perfect fit.

The dress is very form fitting. Great material with a slight bit of stretch and very soft.I’m 5’3” about 150lbs, I ordered a size 10, I’m usually an 8. My weight is carried in my legs, arms, tummy. I’m more of a narrow built, just thick set with protruding butt. I’m giving these details, as height/weight does not always gives right measurements, but the structure/frame of ones body also helps to determines, size. Arms on dress a bit close, due to large arms, however still fits good, not tight. Dress can be dressed up or dressed down. Haven’t worn it as yet.Hope this helps. It’s a great purchase, definitely go for it.
