I absolutely love this purple striped fabric and the fall transition color palette, so the 2 stars are for the beautiful cotton poplin. Otherwise, this dress was not on a level with other BR dresses from this season. It's cut like a nightgown your grandmother might wear, and instead of a proper 3-4" hem so the dress lays properly, it has a 1/2" hem that looks ridiculous. The hem looks like they ran out of fabric at the end and opted for cost savings. Additionally, the main piece of fabric that is gathered at the neck is less than it should be, so instead of flowing gracefully, it looks weirdly not as full as it should. The dress is also short (I'm 5'5") and was only a couple of inches past my knees. If you love the striped fabric, the skirt is much better constructed, with thoughtful details and a proper hem for the same price.

This dress is definitely prettier in person. The colors are dark and rich. While I'm not much of a purple lover, the colors of this dress are really saturated and lovely. The pockets are also great! Petite length is awesome too.
