Stunning color and fabric, but tricky fit for pear shapes...

I really wanted to love this dress! The fabric is a premium, heavy-weight linen and the bodice is nicely lined. The (red) color is a beautiful, cool-toned red with blue undertones. I'm 5'1", 125 lbs, and pear-shaped. I tried both the Small Petite and Small Regular. The SP felt too short, and the top...

Nice Style but.....

The style itself is nice, but I agree with others, it's ridiculous not to put a zipper. It is difficult getting the dress on without it looking totally wrinkled by the time you pull it down. The top is lined, but very disappointing the bottom is not . I ordered the brown colour and despite the da...

I always wear 00 or XXS with any brand. But this dress is impossible to put on without a zipper. Seriously, no zipper. Cannot believe such a flaw happen to banana republic.

Comments about Pocket Mini Dress

I ordered a size 4 as a 5'4" pear shaped woman. The A-line fit looks elegant over my shape. It's has an appropriate length for activities. Dress is not lined, but I wear a pair of shorts for modesty and mobility. The sleeves little longer than expected and wrinkle in the crease of your arm. Dress looks sharp, lays nicely, and is recommended

Beautiful made. Great quality linen. For me the sleeves are a tad long and having them shortened. Perfect fit size small for 5'3-5'4 140 lbs smaller chest.

I have to echo the other comments about the missing zipper. The dress is lovely, but it is very difficult to take off without one. I don't want to have to pay a tailor to add a zipper, even if the dress is on sale. Note to Banana Republic: please add zippers to your dresses! It would make them much more practical and comfortable to wear.

Beautiful dress better for smaller chested.

Super cute sleek cut but neck V is very deep. Too revealing for me.

Cute but WHY no lining??!

Very nice & well made, although linen is a bit on the stiff side. Both perplexing and unfortunate that the top is lined, but not the bottom?! On the fence about keeping or returning. Annoying that it is see-through.

The shade of red is lovely. Great fit. True to size small. 5'4 130 lbs .. Sleeves a little too long for my liking and will have altered. Skirt slightly sheer. Ordered online. Arrived quick but security tag on skirt. Need to deal with that now and not the most convenient. Same thing just happened on the weekend to a friends daughter. She noticed as she was getting dressed to attend a wedding ! Whoever is packing the order need to be a little more mindful of that through customer service.

Beautiful, but sheer.

Beautiful color, but the dress is too sheer & would require a slip.

Cute and challenging!

Love the fit, material and color. I bought the brown. I am 5' 2 1/2" tall, 120 pounds and though the XS fit, due to the absence of a zipper it was quite difficult to get on and off. I sized up to the size S, and the dress still had a nice fit and was easier to put on and take off. I love the feel of the dress, felt it is perfect for a summer night out. Bottom part of the dress is not lined yet not sheer enough to be a concern.
