This dress is even better than I had expected! The length is cute and flattering, but still appropriate for work. The material is soft and substantial but not too heavy. I bought the chestnut colour and it is rich and warm. The sleeves are nice and long and the cuffs sit nicely at my wrist (a huge pet peeve is when sweat shirt sleeves sit a little too high up the wrist). And the drape is the very best part. It falls away from the body and keeps a structure with clean lines. I think forgoing pockets allowed the shape and drape of the fabric to be all it can be! Such a flattering, comfortable, and unstated beauty of a sweatshirt dress. I will get a lot of wear out of this.
