Sleeveless Stretch Organic Cotton Midi Lantern Dress

I'm looking forward to wearing this during the summer--light weight fabric, loose fit and some style points, too. The only (small) difficulty I have is the neckline is closed by a small loop and button and the loop is tight. My head barely fits through the neck hole when it is closed, so I will adjust the loop or make a slightly bigger one. I usually wear a size L in Eileen Fisher dresses and the L in this style fit well.

95 degree heat? This dress makes it tolerable. I love the fit and flow of the dress. The pockets are an added bonus. I love the texture of the material. The only tricky part for me is to clasp the button at the back of the neck. I have long nails and I feel like it took me about 2 minutes to unbutton it. But that was not a deal breaker. I took my usual EF size and it was just right. You won't regret having this dress in your rotation.

Like so many other reviewers, I found this dress to be incredibly flattering, & I've NEVER bought anything from Eileen Fisher, as her clothes look like shapeless sacks on me. This is flattering because it is cut in a very different way, with no side seams, for one thing. The pockets sit flat on the front of the dress - completely unnoticeable. The tapered hemline is incredibly subtle & a fabulous touch. The only thing that kills it for me is the neckline. I have rather broad shoulders, so the close neck does not look good on me. If the neck were opened up, significantly, into a wide & lowered boat-neck, I'd buy one dress in every color - seriously. Don't get me wrong - I am not looking for anything that shows cleavage - yuck! Just a significantly wider, squared off neck opening that exposes an inch or two below the collar bones. That would be perfection. I am hoping someone from Eileen Fisher might be reading this. This dress is just so close to perfect for me, but not close enough.
