So I keep visiting this dress

I can't find anything remotely like it on the internet. But it's pretty, ok very expensive for a casual dress. I like that it has sleeves and a semblance of waist.
What do you think?

Yay- it's cool and worth it.
Nay- save the Benjamins.

I love the dress personally but I wouldn't pay this much for this. I don't think its worth $445 but that's just me

Cute, but not for $445 unless you're going to wear it once a week for the next five years.

I'd have to see it on, but looking at the pic I don't think it's worth it unless you feel like an absolute star in it.

Not even considering the price, I don't adore it - I'd like it to be a little more vibrant in color.

It's cute, but I'm not sure it's $445 cute. How often would you wear it?

I've generally been very happy with things I've ordered from LaGarconne. Why not try it and return it if it's not ideal?

It just looks a rumpled mess. There are pulls in the fabric already and it hasn't even been worn. I vote nay just on the basis of quality and workmanship alone.

It seems an expensive dress for what it is. I would keep looking for a similar dress at a more appropriate price

I think it would make any wearer look like a deflated balloon.

I really love the shape and the color! I could see it working with sandals or booties/bare legs, or with leggings and a coat over it. My only hesitation would be that particular silk: it looks like it might have a slight sheen to it and be prone to wrinkling, which would make it a no-go at that price, IMHO.

It's a lovely rendition of emerald and I think it could suit you well. Try on?

Trt it. I love the color, but it looks like the amount of volume could go either way. If it fits your budget and you would get good wear out of it, and are not saving up for some other big plan, why not give it a shot? It seems like a good summer dress for a cool climate. It's not true that you can always find the same thing for a cheaper price. The newest dress or shoe shapes take two to three years to hit the cheaper lines, in my experience, and then the colors and material are poor in comparison.

I adored it until I saw it on the model. Are they going out of their way to not sell this dress? Wow. I think even I could style it better. Maybe I'm being too predictable, but I think it'd look great with gladiators and a long pendant.

It does look like it wrinkles very easily IMO.
