I've loved this grey wool sheath dress/long pink cardigan combo on the Zara website for two months. It arrived last weekend, and I still love the long cardigan--it's wonderfully soft and warm, a gorgeous pale pink, and the sleeves are more than long enough for me, which is not something I ever take for granted.

What I'm unsure of is the dress. I had to order a large to accommodate my pear tendencies, although a medium would probably have fit the upper part of my body. If I decide to keep the dress, I will bring it to a tailor--I think it should be more form fitting by the bust, and there is a bit of extra fabric high on my chest which I'd like taken in. It is also wrinkly by my hips and in the back. Again, if the dress is a keep, I will ask a tailor if this could be remedied.

Please excuse the bare arm pic which shows my bra strap--I wasn't expecting to need a strapless bra until spring, and I actually tossed the only one I had and am waiting for spring to replace it. But I wanted to include pics of the dress without a topper.

This would be the first sheath dress I've owned. I have several ideas about styling it in addition to those shown here. Does the dress I've loved for weeks on the website work for me, or shall I keep looking?

I value your thoughts and comments. Thanks!
