love it!
Super cute. Not as short as it looks in the photo. Will be good for office and around town. So excited to have a versatile piece! It is dry clean only, but that doesn’t bother me.

Classic Dress
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first time owning a Theory dress. Now I filter my online shopping to have my first look at Theory. Teal blue is a great color especially for redheads!! Perfect length, love that it’s lined. Hope Theory continues to make dresses in bright colors.
