Every bit as lovely as I thought it would be. Just beautiful! Fits like a dream. I couldn't be happier. I know a lot of ladies bought this dress - i just know they are all going to be glad they were able to get one, as they are nearly sold out. I bet he brings this one back.

I thought the red one looked stunning on Michelle when it was on PM Style. I wish I had the body type to wear it cause I definitely would have bought it. Bob hit it out of the park with this one. Glad you like yours!

I'm not really a Bob Mackie fan as his style is not my taste, but I did really like the look of this maxi. This may be my first purchase from him. Thanks for the review.

I got the purple one in XL and it was too large. I had to return it. Other than my mistake in ordering the wrong size, it was really a perfect dress.

I am so glad we can buy clothing from such a wonderful designer as Bob Mackie.

I'm with you - his style is not typically my taste, but I do recognize that his colors are beautiful and his prints are different than anyone else's. I've also purchased some items for my mother, so I know that they are good quality.

I don't necessarily like this particular maxi dress for me, but I am seriously considering A254147. I think this wrap dress is wearable by so many different ages and wraps are good for most sizes. The local female morning newscaster wore something similar today that really made me go back to seriously consider making MY first purchase from Bob.

Alter Ego,

If you're interested in a wrap, may I recommend this from Belle Gray? It does require a cami underneath. I'm not sure if it's in your size. A232558

The one bad thing about it is - the fabric is heavy and would be hot if worn somewhere that is not air conditioned in the summer . I am wearing it to church tomorrow so I'll let you all know if it is too hot - our church is air conditioned as I live in Fl.

I bought two colors...blue multi and teal multi. Love both of them. I like the fabric because it hangs really well. I find that other maxi dresses in lighter fabrics tend to ride up and twist. The cap sleeve balances the dress and the large print design.

I ordered two sizes, 1X and 2X. I normally wear a 1X but decided to keep the 2X because I have a large bust (42DD). It fits perfectly from top to bottom.

Hope Bob makes more maxi dresses. His designs and patterns are great for this style of dress...keep them coming!

Debt - I wanted the teal but by the time i decided it was gone in my size. When something good comes on QVC you have to make up your mind fast and have flying fingers on the phone! I am very happy with the red, as it is exactly the same color as garnets and I have a lot of garnet jewelry. I think a pair of stud earrings and a simple bracelet will be all needed with this dress.

I was wondering - did you hang them on a hanger? They are a knit and so heavy I am afraid of the length growing so I neatly folded mine and put it on a shelf with my sweaters.

I have a Bob Mackie wrap dress that is beautiful as well. It is teal blue with a fleur de lee design. Only problem is it is long sleeve and heavy fabric - so I only wear it in winter.

I received mine too and love it. I got the purple multi which as tones of coral in it. Lovely pattern and colors. Got the XL but could have gone with the L for a slimmer fit.

It is a bit heavy but should be fine in air conditioned places. Love that it doesn't wrinkle so I have just folded this up for now instead of hanging it. Should be excellent for travel.

I loved that this one came in regular and petite. I was on the fence because I am not a maxi person but I think this might be my first Bob and my first Maxi.

I wore it to church with a shrug for more arm coverage in our air conditioned church - it was not too warm (as i feared it may be) and i took off the shrug when we went to breakfast later with DH's family and it was comfortable then too - sitting in the shade at the beach, where there was a breeze. I did receive a few compliments on my pretty dress.
