I have this identical dress, in solid black. Bought it on sale months ago. I just noticed that it is back, now being offered in this mini-stripe version.

I have worn the black version to death. It's the perfect travel dress. Effortless dressing, just pop it on with textured tights, tall boots, scarf, a denim jacket and a fun bag. I am a fan of ruching. I sized up in this so it skims and isn't too body con, and also hits below the knee.

Does it make sense to duplicate? What do you think of the stripes?

Also while I'm at it, I'd love to find a belt with elastic, I am thinking this would work well for me over dresses -- it would stay put, rather than moving when I sit down and my belly poofs out, slicing off buttons. I am not a huge Equestrian trend fan, but maybe this could be my nod towards that trend? If so, cognac or black?
