The only reason this is 4 stars rather than 5 is the arm hole. Love the light fabric and stripes, but the arm holes are rather big and most of my bra showed when I raised my arms. But I LOVE the design and the quality of the craftsmanship. I’m a regular customer - Love April Cornell. I guess I’m just a little traditional. If big arm holes aren’t a concern (it was an XL) I highly recommend it.

I have purchased SEVERAL April Cornell dresses. As with ALL my April Cornell dresses, EVERY SINGLE time I wear one I receive NUMEROUS compliments… the dresses are so incredibly comfortable and I feel very feminine and beautiful in every one of them.

I love this dress! Our 40th anniversary was yesterday. In 1985, April had a dress very similar to this one and I wore for my wedding in Virginia Beach. When I showed my husband the new dress in the catalog, he said, "That's the dress you wore when we got married". I had to have it !! Thank you April Cornell for the fun little dress and happy 50th anniversary!

This is a fresh, summery dress. I like the unique buttons at the sides and hem. The ties help pull in the shape. The blue color almost looks periwinkle on my screen, but in reality it is like a French blue oxford cloth business shirt. I wish the bodice had some accents-- buttons around the neckline or a narrow blue trim, but otherwise, I'm happy with the dress.

I wish this dress worked but the fit wasn't right on my plus size body. The dress was beautiful, just not on me.
