I love the ease of one piece dressing. It is a bit of a problem to put on because there are no zippers and it does not stretch at the waist. But once on it is comfortable. In a fabric that I can wear in most weather.

I liked the fabric and style, but it was small for a 12P. The bust was very tight, and the linen fabric would have shrunk with washing.

I returned the dress. It fit great, and was definitely flattering. I loved the pattern and the colors also. But the material reminded me of living room drapes. It seemed too warm for summer yet not warm enough for winter even though the print seems more for Spring or Summer.

I received several compliments on it the 1st time I wore it. JG Hook is usually true to sizing. Zipper was stiff and hard to get up and down - seemed cheap. I like the neckline; however, it needed to be pinned because is gapped with I leaned to the side.

The feel of the dress is great, not too heavy. I love the colors, they are bright and colorful. It is very figure flattering without being too "clingy" to the body. The material flows with your every moment.

I felt so pretty in this..very feminine.This really accentuates the waist and hides and bumps you may not want shown.It is low cut so i recommend a cami or tank underneath.material is prettier and a bit classier than pictured..maybe because of the linen? I am quite satisfied with this and will wear it to work..meetings...semi casual dinners out.

The fabric is too heavy, it feels like you are wearing a sack. The colors are too loud, yet muddied at the same time.

All I had to do was throw on a pair of panty hose and some nice pumps and I was ready for work. It may take some care when it needs to be cleaned - it may bleed if I am not careful. A strategically placed pin added a bit of modesty to the front, which would show a little more skin than was appropriate.

I have actually had this dress for over a year. I just ordered it for my Mom for a Mother's Day gift. I give her a new dress every year for Mother's Day, but won't see her on that day this year for the first time in 10 years because I'll be on my honeymoon. I like the dress so much that I know she will too. I'm not very busty, so I did have to tack it closed where it crosses over at the chest or I would be flashing everyone. It will be interesting to see how it fits my mother at the top since she doesn't have the same problem. I really nips in your waist visually. Very comfortable fabric. You feel smart and put-together in this dress. The zipper on the side makes it easy to get on and off. It washes well too. I purchased a pattern, so I'm not sure how badly it wrinkles. I would imagine I'd have to pay more attention to it after washing if it were a solid color. I partially dry it on low, hang it up, straighten the collar, sleeve cuffs, and tie, and then let it hang until I'm ready to wear it. I am that weird height between a petite and regular (5'4") with a short waist. I purchased a petite and it fits great.
Beautiful, but neckline plunged too far!

It is fustrating to get a larger size than normal and still have the cuff of the sleeves NOT FIT!I am in a size 10 and size 10-12 or the petitie size 10 or size 10-12. To have a size 12 not even fit in the arms is bad. There should be some room. [...]
