The fit is true to size for Express clothing. I am wearing an XS in this post. The fit is not perfect but doable. Since the style isn't supposed to be too fitted, I am OK with it. On the weekend, I paired this dress with flats. The fabric is made up of 60 % cotton and 40 % modal. This lightweight material makes the dress quite comfortable to wear.
This dress has been washed and dried. However, it didn’t shrink that much. Measurements as follow (laying flat): shoulder to shoulder = 23 inches, waist = 13 inches, length = 30 inches. I accidentally had my camera on the wrong setting from using it for something else last week. I am just too lazy to retake them. Sorry for the blurry photos =(
Express was running $15.00 off your $30.00 purchase promotion a few weeks ago. With the discount, this dress ended up costing me only $35.00. It’s not bad for something that can be worn for work and on the weekend. It is also a great transition piece from summer to fall. If I have to nitpick, it would be the color combo. I wish this dress comes in navy/white stripes (nautical theme) vs black/white (jailbird?). I asked my husband if I look like a jailbird wearing this dress and he said “kinda” LOL =) This dress also comes in navy/red combo.
What I am wearing:
Dress: Express 3/4 sleeve striped dress - size XS (buy here)
Blazer: Banana Republic - size 00P (buy similar here)
Shoes: Ann Taylor perfect leather pump (buy here)
Thanks for stopping by,

It doesn't look like a jailbird at all!^.^ it fits very nicely on you! Looks comfy and preppy and very work or office appropriate under blazer! I like it a lot!
You look beautiful in stripes Sydney!
oOo I was debating on this dress because I didn't know what else to style it with besides a belt. I love the blazer you paired it with. Thanks for the styling tip Sydney!
btw-Some celebs love the dress too.

The dress looks really cute & you don't look like a jailbird. Lol.
I love stripes on anything! I'll have to check it out......haven't been to express for forever!
So adorable Sydney! Love it! I may have to look into this! I like that it's not fitted :)
I love this 'jailbird' dress on you! Thinking if a colored belt maybe red would break the dress up?
I don't think you look like a jailbird at all! I love the look with the blazer and $35 is definitely a good deal for a dress!
Love the dress on you. I just did a post today on the same dress in red and black! A fellow reader told me of your post :)

this dress looks so comfy yet stylish, and is very versatile! Great find! I just received the Express catalog today in the mail and I'm drooling over their inventory now. Can't wait for another good sale to roll around before any purchases though :)
i really like this striped dress and it's a great deal at $35!
cute & little
Love this look! Great choice on the color. You look so adorable.

This dress is such a beautiful basic! And you can't beat that price either, I like that the dress fits you loosely so you have more freedom to dress it down.
I love how amazing you look in stripes!
Absolutely love this look on you! I have a similar dress from J. Crew.
That's a great price for the dress! I agree that it is very versatile - though also agree that blue and white would have been a little better (though black and white is still nice!)
@JustPatience Thanks for letting me know. You look great in that dress!
I love this dress! These pictures are lovely. :)
