YATHONWomen Fall Notched Neck Slant Pocket Pleated A-Line Business Dress

Fits a little big, but I'm on the petite side and my shoulders are always a struggle to get just right.Still, it's flattering and comfortable. It's still a little chilly for this time of year where I live (February), but as soon as it's nice enough, this one is definitely going to be in rotation!

This is nicely made. I was slightly concerned when I opened the bag; however once hung it laid beautifully. A bit of a “puff” off of the skirt, but this “puff” adds a nice hour glass silhouette. I plan to wear to our church’s Christmas concert; I think it will be perfect.

I’m a teacher so I need clothes that are presentable but comfortable and easy to wear. This dress fits fills those requirements and has pockets which are important to me. It’s nicely made and it washes and dries well. To be honest, it’s not the most flattering for my body type but I like it just fine for work.

I’ll start with the only negative that I found and it’s really just more the design. On the underside of the stress the seeming and stitching is left completely open. And what I mean by this is that if you were to wash this openly as a garment in the washer chances are small things like buttons might eventually start pulling the bottom underside of the fabric. So I do recommend either putting this in a wash bag, or having it dry cleaned. The tag that it comes with does talk about dry cleaning but after seeing the garment itself it’s really because of the way it’s put together on the underside due to snagging.Now for all the positives!First off, this is probably one of the nicer pieces of clothing I’ve seen come off of Amazon, and from China. Most of the time the clothing is so poor quality that it wouldn’t even pass in most US department stores. This government actually is extremely passable and quite nice. Especially for the price.It’s true US sizing. I typically fit between a 10 and 12, which is normally a large. I ordered a large. If it’s perfectly. As you can see by looking at the pictures it is described correctly and that it is a three-quarter sleeve. I’m about 5’10 and the sleeves still fit correctly.The length is also really good for my height. It does hit just above my knees. I also like the two hidden pockets that are on the dress. You can’t tell they are there unless you’re looking for them on the outside.It has a really nice flow to it. And based on the thickness of material, this is a dress that could be worn at any season. I would advise that if you do want to wear this during the winter, to parrot with some appropriate stockings and a jacket.I am extremely pleased with this purchase, and would highly recommend it. 👍🏼Side-note, I also did not experience any distortion post wash (washed mine in a delicate bag and used delicate washing soap).

I wore this to the office the other day and it was amazing! I loved being able to throw this dress on and instantly felt put together. The fabric is a nice quality - it has a good thickness so the skirt lays well, but still manages to be light weight. The top of the dress is stretchy, which I adore because I’m top heavy. Similar dresses that don’t have a stretch tend to “crush” my chest and don’t allow a ton of movement in the shoulders. At 5’2”, this dress hits me about mid calf for the length. So it looks great with flats, heels, or even a pair of knee length boots. There is a zipper in the back, but I literally just pulled the dress on - didn’t need to use the zipper because of the stretch! My only minor feedback is this fabric does attract and hold onto hair/dog hair, so I’d keep a lint roller handy!
