Help with ATL order

What do you guys think about this order?

I definitely want this sweater top - I think it would look great layered under my Boden navy pinstrip bf jacket:

(turquoise)

I am considering two sweater dresses:
http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....038;size=S
(burgandy)

and

http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....38;size=S#
(gray with black edging)

I don't know about the burgandy pleated one...I don't think I could layer under this one (?) but I could wear my black ruffle moto or my Hinge "Chanel" black tweed.

I would pair both dresses with leggings.

Thoughts?

I like the sweater.

I think the burgandy dress will be easy to layer over, as long as the layers are the right length. I think you'll just have to try it to find out.

I'm not sure about what would best layer with the gray dress... maybe just a simple jacket? It's kinda casual...

For both dresses, I would be sure you liked dropped waists or can easily return them. In my experience it looks much better on the model than it does on me.

I really like all 3. I have seen them in person on and I think you will love the dresses, particularly the grey and black one..a winner for sure with any cropped jacket:) that is how we show it in the store, and with tights .

I tried on the burgundy one (in gray) in-store last weekend. I normally take an XS at Loft, sometimes a S. In this, I definitely wanted the S after trying on both sizes--the skirt's fairly short and it's definitely a bum-hugger. Still contemplating whether or not to order it.

I like the gray one. I think you could layer it more easily, plus it might be less high-maintenance than the other (being jersey), which looks like a pretty mini length. Because of the loose fitting top of the sweater dress it might be hard to layer over the top of it without it getting too bulky.

The gray you could layer over, or under, or both. You could also dress the gray up with heels and tights and a fancy jacket (the hinge jacket would probably look awesome since it's fairly cropped), or down with a hoody and leggings.

And of course the sweater is a pretty silhouette and a color and weight that can work for Spring as well. I like turquoise and navy...

I like the sweater and the gray dress. I love the burgundy color, but I'm not sure about the style. It looks like it might make the top half look boxy, but I'd have to see it on a real person. I actually like drop waists, so that part seems less concerning than the pleats, I guess. I think you'd just have to try it on. I've found that the Loft seems to be running quite big this season, but I haven't tried on any dresses, just tops and pants.

I think I'm going to skip the burgandy dress...boxy and bum hugging do not sound good to me!

I like the gray dress and the turquoise sweater. (I do like the navy color, too, but a girl has to stop shopping sometime!)

ETA I do admit I wish the sleeves on the sweater were full length...I guess I'm just not used to 3/4 stuff. It's nice for fall, anyway, and if it's layered under a jacket, no one will be the wiser.

Just wanted to add that I actually found the burgundy dress crazy-flattering, but, you know, sort of short and form-fitting in the skirt. The top was lovely and easy.

Dashrashi - you are such an enabler! I will have to try on in person tomorrow, I fear!

The sweater is a great basic, very pretty color. We had the burgundy dress in gray in our store and it sold out fast. Very cute and not as short as it seems. We're almost out of the gray tank dress too. It' s great with leggings and perfect for layering. When you go to LOFT, pick up one of the style guides - that dress is in there with tights, booties, a hat and a scuba jacket (scuba is a new fabric). Crazy cute.
