Sorry for my lack of replying, I fractured my ankle and have been bedridden. Thankfully I managed to hobble up to get my laptop, daytime TV was simply driving me insane!
Anyway, thanks for the Ann Taylor tip. I checked out that link and adored the dress. I surfed around and found quite a few other things that looked perfect!
Oh, and DeltaBaby- I know you can't tell me what works for me. That's why I simply asked for an unbiased opinion of how the dress would be viewed solely on design. Opinions, even without a basis, can be incredibly helpful.
All of your opinions have provided some insight, so thank you very much ladies!
Let me just say that I am in love with J.Crew and want to spend all of my money there. haha
