Lark & Ro Women's Classic Cap-Sleeve V-Neck Compact Matte Jersey Wrap Dress

This is by far one of the best dresses I have gotten from Amazon. Lark & ro hit this one out of the park. Beautifully made, nice details (hidden modesty button), great fabric that is nice and smooth and heavy enough to skim the body and lay nice and smooth. The pattern is also very flattering. This is a great dress to go from office to cocktails. Looks great alone or with a blazer for cooler weather. I will be getting another 2 or 3 in different colors because when something works THIS well, you stick with it. Thanks Amazon...this takes all the stress out of getting myself ready for work,a big meeting, etc. Confidence in a dress!

When I first saw this dress I was turned off by the extremely skinny model wearing it, thinking there is no way that my average sized body was going to look good in this. Misleading. I did benefit from looking at other women's reviews. Thank you to all of you who have posted previously, I thank you. You gave me a real perspective on how this dress might work on me, as I think it's a great dress for women of all sizes, including us curvy girls. So, while I don't often post pictures of me publicly, I am doing so because it was a huge help for me in the decision making process. I am a size 12/14. I loved this dress. It was so comfortable, flattering and just needed a safety pin to hold the v-neck in place as it was a bit low cut for a Bat Mitzvah. Beware of smaller patterns.

Just as I said in the title above, this dress is surprisingly well constructed, and I mean that in the best of ways. I have purchased so many dresses from Amazon that at this point I stopped writing reviews (it would just take way too long) but for this dress I made an exception because I just have to share with other ladies considering this to BUY THIS DRESS! Do it! It's worth every penny (honestly they could charge 60+ dollars and it'd still be a good deal). I'm a bit of a stickler for clothing so bear with me here... FABRIC: This is a jersey fabric that is thick and opaque, even in the light colors and even when stretched decently. You don't have to wear anything underneath but if you do, you can rest assured that at least in my experience with multiple colors of this dress you can't see through them, even under harsh light or sun. The jersey fabric is cool enough for a Houston summer imo but not thin enough to be "cold" in my opinion. It strikes a remarkably good balance because polyester and blends of poly are often not very breathable or trade being airy with a cheap cloth-like feel. This is actually very nice jersey material, very similar to the DVF silk/elastane jersey wrap dresses. There's a nice weight to the fabric so it doesn't wrinkle and likely won't wrinkle in the wash. The best part of this being polyester/elastane jersey imo is that I can spill things on it without staining, wash it in a standard machine load without losing the vibrant color, and the fabric will not pill imo like natural fibers do. If this was a cotton or especially a silk jersey, I wouldn't be comfortable wearing this to say a wine tasting or a bar where accidents happen. A light colored silk jersey dress would be 100$ down the drain on the spot while this dress, because synthetic fibers aren't generally absorbent, will be just fine as spills will just run off. This also makes it a great option for work where men are quite clumsy. CONSTRUCTION: A lot of wrap dresses on the site are atrocious rayon/polyester monstrosities if I'm being frank, but this is not that situation by far. This dress has real, solid construction. There is a wrap front where you can use a button to put the dress on initially before looping the the belt (which is a double layer of the thick, heavy jersey) through a hole that is also reinforced and SEWN in (instead of a sloppily cut scissor mark). The belt is actually strong enough when tied to securely keep the dress on, because with some of the "wrap" dresses I've tried, you truly need to trust in a higher power that you will not be on full display in your bra and panties that day. I use a bow knot just like tying shoes and it doesn't come loose AT ALL during the day which I oh so appreciate. The dress isn't lined as much as in areas where you need extra coverage, there's a double layer of jersey there. The edges are finished and sewn and the button is actually sewn on securely. All in all, this is something I'd expect on a mannequin in nordstrom for 100+ dollars. It's hard to compete price wise with people churning out sheets of cheap polyester cut out from a pattern for cents on the dollar, so I'm actually quite glad to see some thought went into the construction of this dress. The cap sleeves by the way, chef kiss. You can slip on a blazer with ease but this will still flatter broad shoulders/large bust sizes. LONGEVITY: If you like to invest in your wardrobe lasting you years, this is definitely an item for you. If you buy 5-7 of these and rotate them, you could have a work wardrobe for 5-10 years easily. There's enough variety in print and color that you look "different" each day while just maintaining a fairly standard lady like silhouette that is unlikely to go out of style in the next decade. DVF wrap dresses first became popular in the 1970s and wrap dresses themselves have become broadly popular with women who prefer a flattering, lady like shape across body types to this day. It's one of few clothing items you could pick up vintage and people wouldn't be able to tell if it was designed last fall. Because there's a large amount of elastane in the dress, it will keep up with you if you gradually gain weight. Likewise, if you lose weight, the fit and flare of the dresses' inherent pattern will allow you to have it brought in on your upper torso easily. You could also go the risky route and leave it in the dryer for longer (not high heat, just longer) for the elastane to shrink. I have a lot of female friends who are holding onto clothing that hasn't fit them in years, and after the one time I had to let it go and get new clothes, I personally began to take purchasing clothing that will fit me at a variety of weights very seriously.... this is one of those things you won't have to wish you could fit into 5 years from now, so definitely invest in it if you so choose. I gave the item a 4/5 because I'm a harsh reviewer lol and the lighting of the photos is misleading, at least on my monitor. Things that looked white were actually light blue, etc. The dress itself is a solid 5/5 and I plan to purchase a few more unless some lucky ladies beat me to my size in my preferred colors. This item is a must for any woman who works corporate or otherwise prefers to look a little dressed up while still remaining very feminine and youthful. The only change I would suggest is an option for flutter sleeves instead of cap sleeves, although those would not be blazer compatible.

Can be worn for work with a regular bra and a camisole underneath or sexed up with a push up bra and no camisole. Looks great on curvy figures and does wonders for hiding a tummy. The fabric is nice and heavy and thick, and it's the type that won't wrinkle so great for traveling. The size chart showed I should get a large, but I usually find a medium fits more to my liking. I got both, and while the large did fit I had to tie it as tight as possible and the top felt a little loose. I much preferred the medium. It is a true wrap dress with a button at the meeting point to hold it extra secure. I am 5' 3", so it is slightly longer on me, but still looks cute. I REALLY LOVE IT!! I'll most likely buy more in other colors/patterns. For reference I am 5' 3", 170-175 lbs, and my measurements are approximately 40/30/42.

I just received this dress today and I absolutely LOVE it!!! I have already tried it on and wore it around the house for a few hours. I have posted photos. It is more of a deep plum purple color than burgundy and beautiful. The flowers are a light pale blue. There does seem to be some “bleeding” of the plum color onto white parts of the dress, but maybe it is supposed to look that way. Not sure. The fabric is heavier and nice. It is 95% polyester and will resist wrinkles. It is machine washable. The v-neck and cap sleeves are flattering. The draping across my mother of 3 belly hides flaws. There is a hidden button where the draping gathers at the waist and where the belt is tied. It does come undone easily, but a few quick stitches with some needle and thread to make the button hole smaller will fix it. I’m 5’8”, 150 pounds, size 12/14 and a size large fit me perfectly and hit right at the knee. I am very pleased with this purchase and plan on getting another in a different color/pattern. I consider this a must have in your wardrobe!

I love the fit and feel of this dress. It drapes well, and neckline stays in place. The pattern covers any flaws and undergarment lines, and is figure flattering.

I was looking for a dress to wear on my 23rd anniversary and happened to see this one, I wanted something that wasn't black, since I own a lot of black dresses. I am 5'2 and 180lbs and I ordered the large as per other reviews that I read and I have to say the dress fits beautifully. The colors are exactly like the picture and the material is great not to thick but thick enough thought I would have to wear my spanks with it but I don't hides the belly well. I can't wait to wear it out. I would definitely order again from Lark & Co.

I love the pattern and shape of this dress! The weight of the fabric is excellent for the beautiful hang of the dress. I would consider this an early fall dress, as although it has a good weight for the dress' look, the 95% polyester makes it very unbreathable and hot to wear in the summer. In the fall it would be the perfect choice with some leggings and a pair of tall boots. Maybe even with a cute jean jacket. It doesn't gape open like some other tie dresses. I'm a 38C and I'm wearing the XL - I'm normally between a 16 and an 18. Check the video to see the fabric give around the bust. I'm not wearing a shaper, but normally I would. The tie secures the front wrap very well, and there is a button clasp so that even if it magically unties (it won't) you are given that extra security. I love the small, busy, repetitive patern that wonderfully hides your bad bits. I wish there were more options with busy patterns combos because this is the perfect dress cut for plus-sized women. If there were more patterned options, I would probably buy a handful more. Highly recommend! Totally a comfy go-to dress.

I am 5’2” and 120. I ordered size small and it fits well just below the knee length. Material is mid weight and arrived wrinkle free. Should be a great dress for travel.

Love the dress.
