The Dress that swept Capitol Hill - Tuckernuck Jackie

Nothing sounds worse than a polyester sack dress in DC summer.

Terrible. You can find something similar at land's end.

No Sears, circa 1980s.

I bought a dress for my son’s graduation from Tuckernuck—not this one !!

Mine was very flattering, one shoulder maxi and I received loads of compliments.

I always saw this dress on their website and never thought it was a flattering cut or style. It’s way too boxy. Matronly.

They have done pretty dresses, but there are many things that are also kind of frumpy.

You have to be selective.

No waist on this dress so you better be flat chested and legs for days. And polyester?? Yuck.

+1 the article gave good background. I also had no idea.

This made me think of the "Jackie O." dress that was everywhere in the mid-2000s.

I had the same thought. That was a much more flattering dress! Though it also reminds me of how often it was worn by actresses to events and how weird that seems now-- fashion and Hollywood is way more adventurous now. This a great dress but its hard to imagine dozens of Hollywood actresses wearing the same fitted sheath all the time. It's so boring.

But this dress makes more sense as a uniform for women in politics. I think it made frequent appearances on Veep

Ok, well it looks nice in this picture because the model is thin and leggy. It is not a flattering dress on most women.

I'm tall and leggy and I don't think I could pull this dress off (especially not for work). First it looks like it would be too short. I also try to avoid dresses that have a wider shape because when you're thin it just looks like the fit is off. I'm not sure how to explain it, but it feels like a toddler dress? I don't think my clothes need to be tight, but something like this would make me look like a block with skinny arms and legs. I need a defined waist.
Anyway, it doesn't seem to flatter most women. The reviews show it in "real life" and I don't think anyone looks horrible but it's just not the most flattering: https://tnuck.com/products/coastal-blue-striped-jackie-dress
