Year Abroad Dress

$129.99

If you've done it as well, I'm sure you'll agree there's nothing quite like it. Studying abroad - it's an untouchably terrific time, and this lighthearted and fun Bernie Dexter dress whisked me back five years, and over the Atlantic, to Paris, where I spent my junior year of college. The Eiffel Towers sprouting up from its print sit me back on the Champ de Mars, where I occasionally picnicked away the night. Its brasserie scenes remind me of hours discussed away over a thimble of café noisette, and I can practically smell the buttery aroma of viennoiseries wafting out of the stripe-awninged patisserie. My travel plans for this year don't include Paris - 'un dommage' - but if I slip on this cotton dress with a vintage slip, short white gloves, a huge sunhat, and satiny kitten heels, I might just be able to daydream myself to a prime spot along the Seine at Paris Plage, with chèvre and a baguette in my bag, a few euros in this frock's pockets, and a glorious day ahead of me waiting to be discovered. -Hannah, Writing Development Editor

It is a lovely dress online and in person, I'm just too fat to wear it. Even though it doesn't come close to fitting me, I don't have the heart to return it. It really is a great dress. I included my measurements and everything in case it helps someone decide whether or not to purchase.

This dress is so cute! Wonderful pattern on a quality cotton. It's a bit roomy in the bust for me, but nothing a little cup insert won't fix. The fit is super flattering--very an American in Paris in the 50s. My one small reco to the designer Bernie Dexter is maybe considering doing this print in a fabric with a hint of stretch or add smocking in the back so you have a little wiggle room after lunch. It's a bit snug on my waistline, especially with the gathers, and while I love the Mid-Century look, I also love 21st century comfort. That's the only reason I took one star away. :) If this comes back in stock, don't hesitate to snatch it up! The first run sold out by lunch the first day it was offered!

When I saw this dress I knew I had to have it! Overall, I'm very pleased I bought this dress. Its super adorable and I can't wait for the summer to wear it! I wasn't really sure what size to get, dresses vary on me. Usually I'm a size 16 but I decided to get a size up based upon what other people told me about modcloth's dresses. Luckily, a 2XL works for me. The pros are its super gorgeous, it makes me feel very confident. Cons are it is a little snug around the waistline, its not something I would wear if I know I'm eating a big meal, but it's manageable. Also the straps were a little long for me but I'll just get them shortened. I know that if i were to get a 3XL it would be too big for me, especially the bust area. However I am very happy about my first purchase from modcloth. I LOVE THIS DRESS!
