I bought this in pink and I am pleasantly surprised - I love it! I didn't have high hopes after reading all of the mixed reviews. They shipped it quickly, too, and I was able to wear it to a Mother's Day gathering today. Thanks for the rec!


Dumb question--it seems really short. Do you wear something underneath besides underwear?


It wasn't as short as I feared. Today I wore it with tights and booties since it was chilly, but I will try it with bare legs and just underwear once it warms up again.


Thanks to you and to the pp who also mentioned it's not that short. I'll give it a try if it comes back in stock.


Seems to be in and out of stock. I just ordered the black and the red/purple and yellow are available.

I wear a knee length, chino material A line skort (but the kind that looks a skirt even from the back) with regular v neck t-Shirts. I’m short and heavy and feel like this works better than sundresses for most casual places I go.

I’m intrigued by the Kiyonna dress and am going to see if I can find it at Macys!


ITA about Lands End. Everything is so frumpy now. I'm not sure what happened!

DP. I have the same dress in other colors and only wore underwear underneath. It’s actually not as short as I had hoped.

Clearly someone did because it’s completely sold out



That dress is so cute! It runs large. I purchased it myself in two colors!

I’m short, 52, with a belly, but really great legs, so I wear mini dresses and mini skirts as much as possible. I love Anthropologie, so here’s my summer haul from them…I’m size XL petite or Xl. I have found that many of their dresses run big.

Shirts, dresses and capris. Ventilation is important.

Some of the dresses are cute but I have very few events to attend this summer. I only wear a dress if absolutely necessary.

I might try these pants this summer. Might be too baggy though?

I usually wear these or similar in various colors.

With a breezy top.

Well definitely NOT this!


Oh, well. Judge away, I don't care. Let me guess - you think fat people should stay at home where you don't have to see them, right?

When it gets warmer I'll switch to my Eddie Bauer curvy Bermuda shorts, which are an 11 inch inseam (so, mid thigh). I wear both with Lands End cotton v-neck tees, in size Large/Tall because I have a long torso.

I wear dresses to work, but not for casual wear.


Can you post links to dresses you wear/styles that work for your body? I am also an 18 on the bottom and I can never find dresses that look good on me.


Sure. I look for a flared skirt below a defined waist ("fit and flare") and a v-neck if possible. A faux wrap is a good bet. I cannot wear a true wrap, I have too much going on below the waist.

I have this one from Amazon, I wear an XXL: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08GHNSYRQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1

Fit and flare from Macys, although I don't like the sleeves: https://www.macys.com/shop/product/dkny-twist-sleeve-fit-flare-dress?ID=13837416&CategoryID=5449

Thank you do much for posting this, I could honestly cry. I needed a dress for Saturday and this is perfect. Thank you!! I bought the first one from Amazon.


Awesome! Hope you like it. I safety pin the neck for modesty FYI.
