Silk Stardot Dress (size 2) in Fresh Blueberry
This dress is so interesting. I love the fun graphic pattern of little polka dots that meets to form stars. Very cool. I normally do not love a slit sleeve but this one is subtle and flirty. The dress is silk although feels more like a chiffon then a traditional silk (like the Blythe). It is fully lined and the length is right to the knee. Although the waist band is elastic. It has a panel of flat material in the front which makes it look less casual. I think I would like a thicker belt with it.
In the pictures I think it looks pretty plain Jane, but wearing it made me feel so lovely. Modern, light and easily dressed up or down.
What do you think?
Ooooo, I love it. What a fabulous, graphic print and great length.
ReplyDeleteI see it's on sale, too. Thanks for the review. I've been wanting to add some Madewell to my wardrobe. They have a lot of interesting, unique items.
Thanks, Maryeb! I think the length is really fabulous. Definitely makes it seem dressier to me. Because it's a tulip shape, the front is just short enough to be interesting without being too short for work.
DeleteI like this dress on you. I, too, love Madewell quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have my eyes on a couple of their new arrivals. I don't think their items get cut to as cheap prices as J crew's but maybe that's because I don't have access to an actual store (online prices, generally, seem to be higher)
DeleteThis is great on you! I love the pattern. I love Madewell and am always finding good dresses there that are comfortable and look interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have been really turned on to them recently. Their style is a nice compliment to a lot of the more preppy clothes I have.
DeleteHi I've read your blog for a quite a while to garner the inside scoop on size and fitting but this is my first post. Sorry for lurking so long. The dress looks great. So far I have only ordered tops from madewell. How do you find their sizes in pants, skirts and dresses compare to Jcrew sizes?
ReplyDeleteHi Jude Musings and thanks for commenting! I'm sorry my reply is coming so late! I have never tried on a Madewell skirt but their dresses I find pretty similarly sized to J Crew. With both dresses I tried on I could have taken a 2 or a 4 however (whereas at JC I almost always take a 2). I did just order a pair of skinny jeans and sized up 1 size which felt fine (like I would for toothpick jeans at JC). So, on the whole, I feel the sizing it quite comparable.
