It is an A-line dress and has a slight crowl neck. Super comfy!

Heading out to NY and Chicago in a few weeks for weekend trips, so I wanted something that was not sweatpants yet easy to travel with AND stylish. Dresses are always good to travel with; if it's colder throw some tights and a cardigan on, if it's warmer, then you don't need anything else.I was eyeing this dress for a long time and when Backcountry had a fall sale, I snatched it up. First off, I'm a big fan of wool. That means the black won't fade for a long time, and I don't have to worry about traveling for a few days without washing it. I was going to stash it in my tote bag in case my luggage gets lost. That's another thing about wool; it doesn't wrinkle easily.This dress is not silky-soft but very soft for wool. The weight of the fabric is medium, so while not totally see-though, it's not totally opaque in the skirt area either. I'll probably wear a slip under this anyway, since I'm a classy lady.About sizing: I'm a 6-8 on top and an 8-10 on the bottom. Originally I got the Medium, which fit well on top but was too snug in the skirt area. The Large fit a lot better - thanks for the great service, guys! - so buy according to your pant size.

I ordered this dress in an XL. (I'm 5'10", around a size 14 on bottom and 10-12 on top). The fit around the hips is on me is tight. Tight like a dress you would wear going out to party in, not necessarily daytime appropriate. The dress does hit mid-thigh which is a pretty short on a tall girl. The top of the dress however is lovely. The cowl neck and cap sleeves is super cute and flattering. The real clincher I found though was that the dress is wicked see-through on the bottom. A slip is definitely necessary or boy-cut shorts or something to keep things left to the imagination. I'm not sure if yet if I'll return it or rock it late-night style.
