WOW! This looks INCREDIBLE on you Sarah! This dress makes you look so stylish and modern. The design of the stripes is so sophisticated. I love the side panels and the plain back. I even love the button closure. It makes the dress look very *special* without being *fancy*. It think it would be perfect for teaching, and I love the way you've styled it. I wouldn't worry about the back one little bit. You were right when you first looked in the mirror and knew it was a keeper!

I LOVE it. I understand the blazer for teaching, but you also look amazing without it. The bracelet makes it rock!

I love it too! Especially with the jacket and boots, for work. You could also wear it with a denim jacket, I'm betting. The fit is fab on you!

WOW, everyone! How fab to post and then come back to this glowing, unanimous praise for the dress! Angie does it again ; )

Thanks to everyone who made suggestions for other options for styling. I'll give them a try! The stripes do actually match my light colored Frye boots exactly (Rita). I just wonder about which hose I would wear with them.

Hooray! I have a sweater dress! I've been looking for one for a year. Thanks to Angie for finding it and to Amy for enabling me with the one-day 40% off AT tip ; )

This dress is awesome! Where was it when *I* went by AT?

Wow! I'm late to the party but this is uber fab! You look ah-maaazing!

Another late comer but I just wanted to stop in and say how fab this is!

Gorgeous dress on you, and especially love it with the jacket. Extra chic!

I love it - sets off the bangle perfectly!

Thanks so much, ladies!

Rachylou - I had to order it. The SA said they didn't get it in the store (either in regular or petite). Maybe they still will - I'd think it would really sell.

Yowza!!!

I don't know how I missed this post. Stripes and polka dots - Yay! I absolutely love this on you, styled with both the boots and shoes. The bracelet is fab with it, too! Love, love, love!!!

So fab! Love the graded stripes on the dress-very cool! And neat bangle! You are going to have so much fun with this dress! Can't wait to see it with the blond boots too!
