I LOVE that style of dress and rarely find them - looks great Una. And the vest is perfect - esp. with the dress, but I know it will go with SO many things for you. Yay!

Una - OMG I love this dress!! I've been look for a blouson. I saw the gray on Nordies site but I thought it looked too warm and light for my coloring. I did not know it came in black. I have to see who carries this in black. I need tunics/dresses with banded bottoms, not easy to find, and this looks awesome on you!! Sorry but I may have to be an immediate lemming!! Vest is fantastic. Love it and looks great with the dress. Plus just perfect for your style!! Enjoy!!

Killer frock. Well done.

Love the dress, and the vest. Both look terrific on you, and it's nice to be able to change up the look of the dress if you want some variety.
I may have to try the lighter color. I can't tell whether it's closer to soul- sucking beige or to taupe, though. It could make me look dead. You're right- that's a great style for an apple-y IT body type.
I hope you get caught up on your rest!

Don't know if you are interested but the dress also comes in carbon gray at bloomingdales.com which is interesting since it's not on the James Perse website but it looks like the same dress to me. http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....8;Category items in james perse%26cm_kws%3Djames%20perse If the black works out I would consider the carbon too. Don't know if anyone else is interested in this color.

Love the dress on you. I hope you keep it!

Ugh, so sorry for the long days. Hopefully, they will end soon.

Complete honesty? You look incredible Una! You have great style which I admire very much!

Hat off, this is the most fab PJ ever!:-)

This dress is gorgeous and I love that it can be hitched up and worn with a skinny Jean. Very versatile. You look great, the sunnies disguise any signs of sleeplessness

1. The dress is great on you. Definitely keep.
2.Is there any way you can make your schedule a bit less brutal? It really sounds like it is sucking the life out of you.

Very cool dress. Doesn't look like pajamas.

That dress is perfect on you and the vest is made for you!

You all are so sweet! I have nothing but love for this dress today. I wore it today with boots and a necklace and got all kinds of compliments from female coworkers. And I felt like I was wearing pjs and did not have to suck in my gut. I may have to get the carbon - thanks Gryffin (I think!)...

Stunning and perfect for your style. This style dress has everything, edge, elegance it's fab. And the vest if great.

Una - I may have to get both of them!! LOL!! But I have to put it on next months tab! There goes april's allowance!! See what happens when you post fab things!! Enjoy, you look wonderful!

Such a fantastic dress on you! I so wish I could find a tee-shirty dress that would work on me, but it seems to be a lost cause. Love the vest too.

Hope you get some well-deserved rest this weekend!

They both look wonderful on you!! (And I can't imagine being too tired to open a package... Wow!) I hope you get to rest this weekend...

Love both the dress and the vest on you. Few dresses perform so comfortably and sleep deprived or not, don't we all gravitate more to clothes that are beautiful and effortless?

I have been a bit spotty with keeping up with forum lately (surgery for broken foot), so I missed the context of your exhaustion, Una. I hope you can catch some rest over the weekend and wish you more sleep.
