I tried these last summer and ended up donating them all. They all gapped at the chest (I'm a 34C, so a pretty standard size) or I felt like they looked like nightgowns. I really wanted to like them.

Soft and seemingly comfortable but remarkably unflattering on me. I feel like the shorter length is super awkward on me. I may have better luck with the maxi dresses - will take a look.

Anonymous wrote:OP here. Thanks for the suggestions. I've looked at Karma East in the past, after seeing it recommended here, and it's not generally my style (the prints are a bit much and a lot of them are shapeless) but I like the Vivien style and may give it a try.

Title Nine I really dislike the prints (I probably should have mentioned I don't like loud prints). Some of the solids look okay but I already have similar athleisure-type dresses and don't really need more.

I like the Tuckernuck dress but not on me. Same with those inexpensive Amazon ones. Like the idea but I feel like you need to be tall and willowy to pull them off. I'm shorter and pear shaped so that kind of thing looks frumpy on me.

As an example of something I bought and liked:

https://evereve.com/products/kayleigh-knit-mini-dress-red?variant=45896527708325

Got this in both colors. It doesn't look like much in the picture but it's really flattering and comfortable. And inexpensive, cotton, bra friendly.

This is so basic and is sold in a similar style at Lands End, Old Navy and target. What exactly are you looking for Op?

Love!! My favorite is the denim version.

I would guess your IP address shows that you’re the same person who posted the tnuck dress. This is not going to be a good dress on anyone but the tall AND thin.

How are you seeing both IP addresses?

I can't see them. Jeff could. But they posted 6 mins apart, the second person 'enthusiastically' loving the first very vile posting. Seems a bit of a coincidence that someone "loves" that ugly dress but minutes after it was posted, late at night, on a sleeper quiet thread no?

10:49 is "late at night" for you? This explains so much.

DP. Is that supposed to be a dig? People who sleep are smarter and better looking than those who don’t, particularly those who spend the time trolling on the internet instead.

Oh, good grief. Yes, it was absolutely supposed to be a dig - at the obnoxious poster who insisted she knew who was posting "late at night." The point being, 10:49pm is not "late at night." No one is making a dig at you personally.

You seem tired and cranky. Perhaps turn off the screen and get more sleep.

Ah. Found the self-proclaimed Tnuck sleuth.

What does the fact I think it’s sad to spend the night hours snarking strangers have to do with a particular brand? Again, sleep will help you be more logical.

You are bizarre. You posted this later than my initial post (the one simply saying I loved a dress that someone else had posted). And here you are, "spending the night hours snarking strangers." Get a life, weirdo!

Stop!!! no one freaking cares! We are trying to talk about dresses.

Ooooh. This dress is a unicorn -- a sundress with a strappy style that has full back coverage.

Yeah, these would look frumpy as heck on me.

I like it, but my chest is too big and this is probably too low for a regular bra.

Same.

The dresses have no waists because the women recommending them are fat.

They are the same women making fun of Deloitte face on the other thread.

I like the top part. I’m personally ready for tiers to exit stage left though.

Actually I feel like it’s the really skinny women who wear the shapeless no waist dresses. They look “breezy” on someone twiggy but look llle a tent ln th rest of us.
My big gripe is that at some point manufacturers moved the waist up on dresses — I feel like I need a drop waist to hit my natural waist. These short waisted dresses all make me look so pregnant. I would buy many more dresses if I could find ones with a proper natural waist. I have sometimes bought the Boden “tall” fit just to get the waist right.
