Okay ladies, for all of you who have been vexed with sweater dresses(me included ) for ages, I FINALLY found one that can accommodate some curves on a body without looking ridiculous. I am not a very curvy person in terms of bust but I have hips and about a 10-12 inch difference between by waist and hip. Being a slender hourglass, many sweater dresses look terrible on me, very boxy or somewhat obscene.
But this past week I hit the jackpot--for all those near a BCBG store, go there now!

I found a navy, merino wool, sweater dress that is shaped(shaped!) like an hourglass but has enough give not to be clingy.It can accommodate a decent size chest I think, so bustier women can rock this out too. I could not find it online and have not taken a pic as yet, but this dress is very similar in cut except the sweater dress has long sleeves and hits at the knee:
