With the WIT20 promo I ordered the Collection Dual Foulard Shirtdress. This dress is the same style as the Collection Silk Shantung Dress that I reviewed in May. I ordered a 6 as the Shantung Dress was a bit roomy in through the body in the 8. This is a thinner silk than the Shantung as well and prone to snags. I need to file my nails and caught one on the dress while trying it on…whoops.
The “dual two-tone” brings some visual interest to the dress. The two patterns are gorgeous on silk. This is a straight silhouette with nary a pleat or pintuck in sight. It’s also several inches shorter than the Shantung Dress.
From a distance the bottom pattern, also used at the placket, collar and sleeve hem look purple but is actually pink.
What do you think of the Dual Foulard Shirtdress?
I love this print. But I think I love this print more on the Etta pumps (and I know you already have those – jealous!)
Lisa – I was surprised this dress had some pink in the bottom half. Online it read light purple. And, yes, the shoes I LOVE!
I think I agree with you that it is a pass. I was interested in it but the length alone looks like a pass for me. It's a cute idea with cute prints but it doesn't quite work.
Cate – The Shantung Dress had a slightly longer hem in the back that made the dress not so short/revealing. They could have done these in pants with the last 4-5 inches in the different Foulard pattern.
