The Essential Midi

Rated 4.3 out of 5
Based on 6 reviews
$ 168.00
Color

The Essential Midi has all the flow and grace of its namesake top, with added bonus of a one-and-done silhouette. A perfect “V” neckline is framed by an extended shoulder sleeve with small cuff detail. At the waist, we added an elasticated, fabric-covered belt with brass hardware to cinch and flatter the figure. A midi length with a functional front slit adds movement, but the real stand-out is the fabric: the universally adored Studio Print from artist Rachel Sard. 

Alana wears a size S in this dress. She is 5'9.5" and typically wears an 4 in dresses.

Such a gorgeous piece!

I'm so glad I bought this piece! I have the flow blouse in this print and I love it. The dress is *chef's kiss* perfect. I'm 5'3" and it is definitely "midi" length, hitting at the widest part of my calf muscles. I might have it taken up just a bit. The belt is removable so it could be swapped out for another belt if you wanted to add a pop to the dress. But why would you want to?! It's perfect as it is. The belt is very high-quality, cinches the waist perfectly, and the fabric just flows nicely, giving you a really flattering shape. I'm 5'3" and between 165-170; 34F bust and the large fit very well. I might have been able to do a medium, but I think this fabric lends itself to being flattering with a little more room.

Cute

Love the style, fit, and colors. But the fabric is thin and the center seem ripped while getting into the car on the first day.

Beautiful dress, challenging silhouette for pear shape

I absolutely love the pattern and fabric. Based on the pictures when originally posted, I was hoping that the dress would work for a pear-shaped figure. I realized later that the pictures were only on slender models. I am 34DD-30-44, usually a 12 in pants and 8 in tops; I ordered a Medium, and it fit perfectly on top but was far too snug on the bottom. I exchanged for a Large, and the bottom is perfect but the top is too large, giving me batwings under the arms. I love the dress enough that I kept it and am getting it tailored along the sides of the top, and also getting the belt taken in. If you have a pear-shaped figure, be prepared that you'll need to get this altered.

Nice fabric, nice print

I am 34-27-37 and got the size small. The top is a bit big, but I believe the next size smaller would be too small on the bottom. If you are even slightly pear shaped, definitely pay attention to the size chart on this one.

The fabric is really nice, but this dress does definitely need a slip under it. For the price, I wish it were lined. The belt is a really nice touch and many steps above the normal "self belt" that comes with a lot of dresses which is basically just a piece of fabric.

Great dress for summer into fall

Highly recommend! The fabric has a great hand feel and is breathable. If you are near the top end of the hip circumference measurement, I would recommend you size up so that the bottom of the dress lays right. I had the exact hip measurement listed for the XS, sized up to the Small and found that size was needed to help the dress lay correctly when wearing it with the belt. I have a small bust (32B) and the top does not look too oversized on the Small. The dress is not lined, so I feel more comfortable wearing it with a nude bralette and nude biker shorts underneath. The belt is a beautiful detail. I find this dress washes, hand dries and then steams out easily. I wore it all day at a conference and the fabric did not wrinkle easily. Looks great with the ribbed cardigan dress in Marsala worn over it as a duster (to transition you into fall).
