another dress you could buy (it's up to you)
From Overstock.com, a dress that I'm on the fence about. On the plus side, really cute print; waistband; full skirt. On the minus, linen-rayon mix with actetate lining; the armholes look revealingly deep; that particular headless mannequin gives me the creeps somehow (maybe because the tight neck cords makes me think it's straining to find its head!); won't that print be way over by next summer?Click on the link if your pluses outweigh my minuses. (I've never bought anything from Overstock.com, although I've not heard anything spine-curdling about them or their internet business practices.)

I agree on all counts.
Tho I wouldn't have a problem with the print after this summer. Don't mind the blend too much, but am not into lining at all.
I would like a dress like this, this style, but not this one --
couldya keep looking?

Sure! I think it would be more difficult to ask me NOT to keep looking for dresses.

The print is what I like best about the dress, actually. It reminds me of the wild colored theme prints on lots of 50s dresses.

I agree with blackbird on the print. No problem for me, forever. I've bought safely from Overstock and been pleased, but I do find these armholes deep. Plus, the bodice appears to have a more matronly droop than I like seeing outside a Three Stooges-film matriarch.

Agree with HT about the droop - if it makes the mannequin's breasts look saggy, can't be good news for the buyer's bosoms.

Hi I just found this site and I love it.
I bought this dress. I did not try it on first , very sad to say It squeezes my boobies to death, flat you might say. This a good trick being that I am a 36E.
The skirt is a full circle, and sort-of has a poof to it, has a low ish back with a rose-bow thing. I got it very very cheap at tj maxx I hope I can have It fixed.
