Fitting Room Reviews (Dresses): Wavering Grid, Take Action, Dynamic Zigs and Drafting


More fitting room reviews!  Let's take a look, shall we? 

FItting Room Reviews: More Dresses - longer length!

Wavering Grid Dress, XS, Deletta, $148
The theme of this post should be – midi dresses are not for me.  This nice comfy jersey number by Deletta just overwhelms my petite frame.  The girl in the model shot must be 10 feet tall to get this dress to be so far over her knees!  In any case, I like the contrasting design on the waistline, and for ladies that this dress type flatters, I could see this being an easy pull on and go type of dress.  Go with your regular Deletta size on this one – typically that skews towards the smaller size because I’m in between S and XS.

Dynamic Zigs Dress, S, Plenty by Tracy Reese, $$89.95
This one went on sale before I could review it! This is another dress that’s skirt overwhelms me.  I like the criss cross pattern as well as the criss cross the top part of the dress makes across the chest. Fits TTS The color palette is fun and could be paired with many different cardigans and blazers.  It’s pullover styling, so this is another pull on and go dress.  This is a pass for me, but I could see someone with some height rocking this.

Take Action Dress, 2, Girls of Savoy, $168 (yellow color)
I’ve already reviewed this dress, and it looks like it’s been taken off the site (sold out!?), but here’s the review anyway.  Similar to the blue, the high collar and elastic waist along with the silky material makes this dress an amazing clothing workhorse.  The little squiggles are a nice departure from the polka dots and the length is wonderful.  You may consider sizing down as I was able to go all the way down to a 0 on its blue colorway cousin.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t really work for me in this color as it fades me out a bit.  Still, a fantastic option if you weren’t crazy about the blue colorway.

Drafting Shift, 4, Tabitha, $158
A cousin to the Pom Flower shift, this dress has the same burlap-y feel to it with a different design.  The fit is similar as well.  I gave the Pom Flower raving reviews for fit, length and the Drafting Shift is no different.  Fantastic length for a petite woman (right at the knee) and the material on the inside is not scratchy at all.  Fits TTS.  I just have so much blue/green in my wardrobe that this will be a pass for me.  If you weren’t digging the design on the Pom Flower Shift and this one floats your boat, I highly recommend it!

So what do you think of this batch?  Anything you have your eye on?  I, for one, am loving the new Fall arrivals and am jonesing for this:

Oh, Forested Blazer, please somehow wander into my closet!  The price is so, so much though, so I may need to stalk it for a long time before it becomes mine. 
Thanks for stopping by!
