Everything old is new again.  Been there, wore that back in the 70's.

 

I'll pass this time around.  Cute if you are young and have the figure to wear it.

Looks like a stretched out sweater

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

IMO sweater dresses are only attractive on someone with a very straight figure - like this model. They are not most flattering on more womanly figures.

I don't HATE it, I don't really LOVE it, but it's cute and fine.  Just don't wear it really tight even if you are tiny.  Cute to wear for going to dinner with friends, casual trip to a movie or concert or something like that.

Very cute and sassy!  When I was younger -  up until I was about 40 -- I could have worn this easily.  If you have a nice flat midriff and trim hips I think this type of dress is really sweet and is comfy as well!

I like the grey one. Maybe it's b/c that model has a better figure for the dress, IMO.
