I have been waiting for this dress since I first saw it during the Spring 2013 Preview in January.
I was starting to think it wouldn’t be made as every roll-out of New Arrivals didn’t have it – until last week. I was so excited I clicked on through without launching Ebates first!
The Collection Suncation Dress is very pajama-chic with white piped edges and hems and a straight silhouette. It has a slight low-high hemline and is not lined. The design is printed on the matte side of the silk charmeuse and I will agree with the CFS that the silk does feel soft against the skin.
The size 6 is a great fit without any pulling at the chest or hips. I vary in size between 6 and 8 depending on the style of a dress. I’d say to go with your normal size on this one.

As you can see this is not lined. The shiny silk is the inside of the dress.
The adorable designs…the Shuffleboard is cute while the lady sunbathing looks a little “hulky” to me.
The dress pairs nicely with the Collection Etta in Snakeskin, though IRL they read more blue than Violet. I’ll have a review of those soon. They are on sale right now for $249.99 plus 30% off. If you haven’t used your Rewards Card (like me) you can get them for $150 (like me).
