Calvin Klein Sleeveless Pleated Dress

At last! A 97% cotton dress that does not require a camisole and will keep you cool in hot weather. The asymmetrical torso panels are flattering, and the inverted box pleats are breezy. It also has a bit of stretch for extra comfort. It comes in lovely colours and patterns. Nice length. Runs true to size.

I have this dress! I had been looking since last spring for a new summer dress ~ all without success until recently. I was looking for a summer dress for a spring wedding that took place in a garden during the daytime. Fail, fail, fail until I came across this dress in a light blue (wisteria). That one didn’t fit right as it was not a petite. I finally found the dress in turquoise in petite. It fits like a dream and I got rave reviews from my mother, my husband, my daughter, my old high school friends. . . . and even the bride. It is on trend with its fit and flare silhouette yet classic in the sense I imagine it will stay in style for many years. The neckline is high (no worries about anyone looking down your dress when you lean over) and flattering. No bra peeking through the armholes. The material is on the thick/substantial side, which I like, but may not be everyone’s cup of tea. The diagonal seams are very slimming. I dressed it up with a cropped black jacket and black patent pumps for the wedding but it will work dressed down for other times. Love, love, love this dress!

I bought this dress in turquoise to replace an old turquoise sheath dress. I agree with Sparky’s review. I usually have to have dresses altered on top to fit a small bosom. This one fits perfectly. I own Calvin Klein sheath dresses in size 4 and a similar fit and flare in size 2. I debated about which size to order and went with the 4. It’s a good thing as the 2 would have been too small. If between sizes, I’d suggest the larger. This fits closely at the bust and waist. No armhole gap, which I usually have.
The length on me (5’3″) is at the top of my knee, just a tiny bit longer than the model’s. I’d like for it to be longer but there’s not enough hem to let out. Because of the flare, I think it’s ok as it is, especially for summer. I have the regular rather than the petite.
The turquoise color is intense. I haven’t tried styling it yet but think it will work with black, bright white, and other bright clear colors or jewel tones.
