Ans its been so freaking hot I haven't even had a chance to wear it yet. Hmpf.</p> <p>On another note, I had posted about a <a href="http://www.americanapparel.com/rsa7305.html?cid=29">wrap dress</a> I sighted on American Apparel's website that seems quite popular. The reviewers all say it is a thicker cotton that doesn't cling. I decided not to go for it as I was told here that their quality is hit or miss and I don't have a store near by to go check it out. Their return polices aren't that great. If you do have a store, give it a go and see what you think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/repost-need-a-workhorse-dress#post-93950 Tue, 15 Sep 2009 05:57:28 +0000 velvetychocolate 93950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Found some stuff on sale:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3029133?refsid=260479_1&#038;refcat=0~2376788~6002242~6007533~6007540&#038;SourceID=1&#038;SlotID=1&#038;origin=related&#038;cm_Sp=Related-Items-_-Product-_-Manual" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....t-_-Manual</a></p> <p>This is the one that Kristen has that I really love. </p> <p>Also - there's the fabulous grey Adrianna Papell sheath from NAS that was so popular:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3034653?Category=&#038;Search=True&#038;SearchType=keywordsearch&#038;keyword=Adrianna+Papell+Ponte+Knit+Sheath+Dress+in+All+Categories&#038;origin=searchresults&#038;siteId=fV7QgDWUWe0-6RoN_msjcOJ1PgJQdAqQdg" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....PgJQdAqQdg</a></p> <p>Both of the above are also available in a blue colour as well.

I also found a ton of nice dresses at Macys; I deliberately didn't look closely at grey sheaths because I have one too many already LOL, but I am sure there would be a few. They had some nice ponte dresses I liked in other colors. </p> <p>I think the heavier knit/ponte dresses will be arriving in stores in the coming weeks; the saleswoman at BR told me their new stuff was coming the week after next, and there would be lots of dresses. So sit tight if you have to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/repost-need-a-workhorse-dress#post-93831 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 20:47:55 +0000 agrace 93831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did look - and I like! And the price isn't too bad at all. Hmmmm....I'm also thinking to Marshalls I shall go. Thank you for the suggestions. Surely something will pop up in my search. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/repost-need-a-workhorse-dress#post-93826 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 20:13:59 +0000 velvetychocolate 93826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that one that Kristen is comparing to a recent Marshall's purchase - she got it at the NAS sale - it's a heavier brown ponte (I think) style with really neat sleeves. Did you see that post? It would be "Dress Deathmatch" - the second post. It looks like a thicker material and so on - but no, it's not grey or black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/repost-need-a-workhorse-dress#post-93822 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 20:08:24 +0000 agrace 93822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Velvetychocolate- I like that one but I think the material would show too many of my flaws LOL! The ON one had a thicker material...it was not ponte (which I love!) but it was a very heavy polyester, skimming over the body. I fear that BR one will cling to all the *wrong* places on me. But that is the direction I would like to be heading so thank you much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/repost-need-a-workhorse-dress#post-93821 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 20:05:02 +0000 velvetychocolate 93821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This isn't a sheath dress, and I haven't tried it...but when you mentioned a mock wrap dress, this one jumped out at me:</p> <p><a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=50129&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=632283&#038;scid=632283012" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....=632283012</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/repost-need-a-workhorse-dress#post-93819 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 19:57:07 +0000 taylor 93819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did see your earlier post, but I am just no help here because every black dress I own must go to the cleaners. :(</p> <p>Did you try Express? Gap? AT loft?</p> <p>I am sure the ladies will have wonderful suggestions for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/repost-need-a-workhorse-dress#post-93815 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 19:49:54 +0000 agrace 93815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello! I'm needing a grey or black sheath style dress with preferably short or 3/4 sleeves to wear to death this fall and winter! I love things that I can wash on gentle cycle (no dry cleaning!) and v-neck, crew neck, boat neck, all of that is fine. Just no turtleneck please. </p> <p>If anyone comes across what they would consider a good workhorse day dress to pair with anything and everything please let me know! </p> <p>Thanks! </p> <p>ps. I had a wonderful black 3/4 sleeve mock wrap style maternity dress from Old navy that I wore to death last year and ironically I cannot find a non-maternity style that will work so hard for me! </p>
