I bought the patterned version of this dress which I think looks a lot more special but the navy works well for office wear. Needs a necklace to break up the expanse as it’s a long fitting dress. Great for summer as the fabric is light without feeling flimsy. The tie belt creates a flattering drape. The side tie does seem to make the shoulders sit a bit asymmetrically but that’s not a huge problem. The under arm gapes a bit so wear a discreet bra (or one you don’t mind flashing). No vents in the skirt means your legs stay covered up and the fit is loose enough that walking isn’t hindered.
