Flare Rib Sweater Dress

I like the design of the long midi dress with short sleeves--the proportions balance one another. The acrylic knit has a lot of built in stretch and doesn't seem like it will pill over time like many sweater fabrics do. But beware because this is the type of knit that has inherent cling. I'm glad that I sized up so that the dress floats very freely over the body. I'm positive that I could wear my usual size, but I'm also positive that my usual size would make this dress appear more bodycon than I want. It's a long dress--on short women, this will be a maxi, not a midi.
