You look fantastic in that dress, all versions. It's very versatile and will be perfect for your trip.

I know that "Creative Lady" look! I call it "Reading Teacher!"

I was totally distracted by the thought of your writing style seeping into your posting style! But the dress looks fantastic and will be excellent for your travels - which start soon I guess!

Now that's a real versatile dress! I love it both as a shift with a scarf and tied in at the waist for the blouson effect. I particularly love how you've paired it with walking shorts and worn as a tunic top. How cool is that! Definitely a great dress for traveling....since it's a dark color, it'll be easier to maintain too. Fab find! And looks absolutely fabulous on you!

It looks great for travel and I must say, you wear it better than the model!

Suz what a fabulous dress! Love the colour too. And I adore that second one you included in your comment. You MUST let us see that one on you.

Love it, seems an easy but chic and versatile piece! You have great legs, Suz!

FAB dress. You have styled it well, and thanks for sharing its versatility, Suz.

So glad it worked out for you Suz. You'll love this for years to come.

I have to admit I'm a bit of a gear junkie, so the thought of a dress like this sends me running to the website. LOLing at the creative lady comments, because of course I took one look at the colours and thought "too muted for me". Even the black looks greyed. And greyed sucks the life out of me.

.actually Elizabeth, I was thinking you'd like this dress too:) what is it about we Canadians and our love for athletic clothing ?

Good question, Lisa. Someone should do a study of this.

Elizabeth -- it's true -- that grey looks like charcoal. But... I have a feeling they have come out with different colours of this dress in different years. I saw an orange version on the web and they also have that BRIGHT PINK which would look awesome on you....

What a great dress and you look fantastic in it! I love practical, versatile and great looking pieces...all in one. You actually look better in it than the model! Thanks for sharing.

So cute on you, and I like the versatility!

I am envious. I wish these kinds of dresses worked for me, because they would be great for my summer lifestyle. But I can tell it would be too long-waisted, and too short and tight in the skirt on me. I have some decent summer dresses now, but they're not as casual as this, and I would love to have one really casual, sporty dress option for summer. Sadly, they all seem to be too short and/or boxy.

The dress looks amazing on you. You should send a link to the company!

Bright pink? Bright pink?

bright pink , E

I found it Only had black and purple on the site I originally saw. I think it might be a bit much though...

I like it. A lot. But I LOVE those silver sandals... Not sure what it is with me & metallics lately.

The dress looks great on you! I've seen this one before in a local outdoor store, but in the bright pink. Great style...

Ah - so sad! I ordered the same dress - and sadly it's going back. Suz is right - it's fantastic all around - colour, fabric, drape, etc. But it's FAR to short for me. As a shift the length is ok, but it seems to accentuate the widest part of my hips. I like it a little cinched in, and even cinched in a wee bit makes it uncomfortably short for me. But I can see, Suz, why you've recommended it. It's a fab dress I'm impressed with how quickly the (free) shipping was; hopefully the return process will be equally painless. Enjoy your dress

OH ZOWEE!! Chic magnifique, Suz!

JackieC, thanks for weighing in on it. I'm a tall girl with curvy hips. So I don't think I'll be trying it. But dang, I want to...

Oh, too bad, Jackie -- I am sorry about that. I guess it is useful sometimes to be on the short side...

I ordered one that day too, and mine is due to arrive tomorrow. Quick shipping to Vcr - wow! I'm eager to see it but am a little worried about the fit too, now that I read Jackie's comments. We shall see.......
