I have been eyeing the Teddie dress for months, but haven't pulled the trigger--especially during the dreaded final sale--because I haven't had a chance to actually try it on. I spotted it for $119.20 in stores, (not final sale) and I took my regular JCrew dress size with no problems, so I'd say this bad boy fits TTS. $120 isn't exactly a deal, but I have been looking a this dress for months; I also love the cobalt & camel colorways.
The style is my personal favorite: a fit-and-flare silhouette + sleeves = an easy wear. "Easy wear" is pretty much one of my favorite things; you can still look stylish and put together with a minimal effort and number of pieces.
My biggest issue with this dress is that it isn't fully lined; only the skirt portion is lined... If you look at the second set of photos, you can see the pockets of the shirt that I layered underneath it. I feel like a lining might prevent that showing through. Additionally, I can't tell where the sleeves are supposed to hit on me. It's not a true three-quarter length, at least on me. More like a 2/3, and I can't decide if that looks natural or not. The material is thick, nice for at least 3 of the seasons, and it fits really well. Personally, I could do without an exposed zipper, but I don't mind it.

It's a darling dress and I love it with that necklace!
ReplyDeleteNice review. I tried it on but didn't notice the lining details you pointed out. I like it layered w/the blouse. :)
