Rich colours, reasonable necklines and hems, and usually with pockets. And their quality is very high. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/basic-work-dress-mm-lafleur#post-1959653 Wed, 26 Sep 2018 00:59:02 +0000 elpgal 1959653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kathie, your observation is dead on. The MMLF dress is truly cut for a smaller bust. I did like a skirt I ordered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/basic-work-dress-mm-lafleur#post-1958077 Wed, 19 Sep 2018 23:08:57 +0000 Anonymous 1958077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Their dresses are beautiful.<br /> I also have the company on my “Feedly “ so I enjoy their posts on great women. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/basic-work-dress-mm-lafleur#post-1958074 Wed, 19 Sep 2018 23:04:05 +0000 Kathie 1958074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m 5’6”, so can’t really judge about petite friendly. That said, in general I find that MM.LaFleur is cut for a smaller bust and fuller hips, while Boden is a better fit on a regular/fuller bust with narrower shoulders. So, MM is generally a better fit for me, but I try Boden, because the price points are usually a bit lower, and discount coupons are easy to find. I’ve never seen the Etsuko on sale. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/basic-work-dress-mm-lafleur#post-1958069 Wed, 19 Sep 2018 22:34:11 +0000 elpgal 1958069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kathie, Glad to hear that. Is either option petite/mid-section friendly? I might just order the Etsuko. </p> <p>Jussie, that's the one that is tempting me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/basic-work-dress-mm-lafleur#post-1957993 Wed, 19 Sep 2018 20:15:41 +0000 jussie 1957993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful dress! I can see why you are tempted. I like it in the deep plum colour :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/basic-work-dress-mm-lafleur#post-1957964 Wed, 19 Sep 2018 18:31:29 +0000 Kathie 1957964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the Etsuko, and it’s been worth every penny. That said, Boden has a similar dress, the Jasmine (first find.) I also just got the Mia (second find) and love it, though it doesn’t have pockets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/basic-work-dress-mm-lafleur#post-1957937 Wed, 19 Sep 2018 16:08:22 +0000 elpgal 1957937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been slowly updating my work wear and am looking to add a basic but not black dress.</p> <p>The Etsuko dress by M M LaFleur is enticing. Have any of you found a less expensive alternative? Key features : good length, non-revealing neckline, 3/4 sleeves, pockets and machine-washable.</p> <p>Link to the dress:<br /> <a href="https://mmlafleur.com/shop/etsuko-brick-red" rel="nofollow">https://mmlafleur.com/shop/etsuko-brick-red</a></p> <p>Article about the dress:<br /> <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mm-lafleur-best-selling-black-work-dress-etsuko-review-2017-6" rel="nofollow">https://www.businessinsider.co.....iew-2017-6</a> </p>
