I love the high-low hem on you, Suz, and the color palette, especially with the taupe sandals.

Love this on you Suz! You look great - and as someone who generally doesn't like skirt-lengths that are above the knee, I really think this works - because it is full, and the back is longer.
What size did you get? (Asking for myself!)

Gorgeous on you Suz ! and the neutral sandals leave you and the dress for the show ... perfect !

Yes! It's perfection, Suz -- special and updated. I know you don't need many special occasion outfits, but this one is different from the rest and I find that I still want a bit of variety in this sort of capsule.

I'm quite conservative about length, and have a thing about knees --- but I love this and think the length is flattering to you and the outfit as a whole.

Love the dress on you! The length doesn't read as short because of the high low hem. All the shoes work but my preference is for the shoes in #1 which go so well with your hair.

This is the perfect dress for you! All shoes are good with it but I prefer the taupe, however I especially like the earrings worn with it and how the pattern (which look like angles) echo the angles of your haircut. You and this dress are perfectly in sync with each other.

Absolutely stunning on you Suz! Not too short at all and a definite keep. Besides, you don't want to be in trouble with Angie! Lol

Simply stunning.

LOVE, especially the bin low hemline...super flattering:)

Echoing all the others - it's beautiful on you! I love the nude cage sandals best, but the black definitely works also.

Yay, this looks awesome on you!

WOW!!!!!

Ohhhhh....thank you all so much.

Guess what? I wore it already!! We weren't going out, but Mr. Suz and I are alone tonight because our daughter is out, so I wore it for at-home date night!! And guess what? It worked perfectly. It feels SOOOOO comfortable with its relaxed cut and it is super feminine.

I think it might just turn out to be a wildcard workhorse. Mr. Suz said the same. I mentioned a bit of guilt over the purchase because "I don't often wear dresses." To which he said, "Listen, you've worn a dress or skirt 5 times this week that I know of." (He's right, and I actually wore them more than that because I wore skirts twice when I was away doing business with my brother.)

Thanks for all the advice about footwear. It seems as if I have lots of options.

Marley, this is a size 0. As I mentioned, it feels/ felt a wee bit snug on the bust/ back/ underarm area but in wearing it has already eased up there. The rest is a very relaxed fit. It will work brilliantly (in the right size) on a rectangle, slim hourglass, slim pear (whose hips/ thighs are not super large) or IT shape. It would probably be a problem for a busty hourglass.

I'm a true with a full bust hourglass & it worked for me.

WOW!!!!! I had a feeling this would be great! WOW!!!! All the shoes work! Stunning!

This is beautiful on you, Suz. And I think it's lovely that its first wearing was for date night...that is a special occasion indeed.

Love this dress on you and am glad you have worn it. When you can't wait to wear it, you know it's a winner. Swoon worthy! Curious as to how a dress with this hemline would play with a lower vamp shoe. Agree that your taupe pair looks especially good. Brilliant find!

I'm not sure I've ever seen you look better, or happier, in an outfit. What a lovely dress.

It is perfect.

What Marley said. I also think the shortness in front is mitigated by the longer back. It looks beautiful on you.

Wowsa!! Love it!!

This is gorgeous, Suz! You look stunning in that dress.....the cut, pattern, length, hemline - all fantastic. All the shoe options are great too!

I read you already wore it?! Attagirl! I'm proud of you! If you're loving it, and you're already wearing it, and it feels so good....it WAS made for you!

Mr. Suz is a very lucky man if his wife looks like THAT for a home date night!!!!

Anna, that is great news then for anyone who wants it! Sounds like it could be a winner for most body types. Having said that, you look really nice in a higher neckline, but some hourglasses don't -- it might have to do with neck length or something? Or overall proportions? Anyway, I know this neckline suits you and you can wear it but there are some fuller hourglasses who prefer more open necklines.

This dress is roomy around the mid-section so might even work for an apple shape if she could handle the high neckline. Hint -- it's really inexpensive for what it is, at the sale price.

I really enjoyed wearing it, so Angie is right that impractical items are worth their place in our closets sometimes.

I will also try with a lower vamped shoe. That will be more conventionally flattering but a bit less current. I did try with my Okalas but because they are print I felt it was too much going on.

Great dress, you look beautiful in it!!!

Just gorgeous! Love the length, very flattering. Suz any of these renditions work. I think this dress looks just beautiful on you.

I'm with Angie.

You look so amazing in this dress that when I first looked through the photos I didn't even notice the shoes! However, on second look, I definitely prefer the first pair of shoes with the dress alone. With the jacket, I like the black - the heaviness of the shoes balances the black jacket to me. I am so glad you have worn it and are keeping it!

Suz, I agree with everyone. You look fabulous in the dress. I like the taupe sandals and the black booties equally well--great Septemberizing!
What about a flat sandal as an option, too? I think it would work with the above-knee hem in the front. Although come to think of it, you don't wear flat sandals. But a lower one, anyway, is worth a try.

Sharan, good idea. You're right I try to avoid completely flat because they aren't comfy for me, but I do have 1/2 inch wedge or almost flat sandals. I'll give those a go and see. I think it might work, too.

I actually think this dress could work with hose in cooler temps, along with a topper, of course. So who knows? Maybe I'll even try it with booties, proper.

Perfection! I love it!
And it looks like it will be versatile - it looks just as good with the jacket as without. Super find.
