Linea by Louis Dell'Olio

Both the camo and denim dress arrived yesterday and I love both,  the material is very soft.  I ordered my regular xl size and it covers the knees l am 5'5" so this is the perfect length for me.  I opened a few of the buttons and stepped into the dress I usually pull it over my head but decided to try it this way and it fits perfectly, not too big or too loose, skims the curves with a nice amount of stretch.  The pockets are placed perfectly and comfortable to access.  I am so loving the sleeve detail what a nice look it gives this dress.  Highly recommend.

how is the hip area on this dress?

that is mainly where my "problem area" is......i am more of a pear shape.

i was worried that there would be too much hugging in that area.

@sunshine45 - my challenge is the bust area so once that fits I'm good in the hip area and the rear my other challenging area.  I find the cut a straight style not boxy so you may want to compare the measurements to your hip area even though the dress does have some stretch to it.

thanks @Luvitorleaveit1.

if it is a straight up and down style it may not work well for me.

i will check out the measurements also.

still undecided.

@Luvitorleaveit1  I am STILL trying to decide on a size.  I am usually a small in Linea, sometimes an XS.  I am straight up and down, not curvy, 36/31/38, 5'6", 128 lbs. I have broad shoulders and my pet peeve is having woven clothing tight under the arm (actually a DOLMAN sleeve is my FAVE!!).  Anyway, could I ask your opinion about how it fits under the arms and what size you might suggest.   I really want to try the camo (have that color in the WK and love love love it!!)  TIA

@Karlakaye - I am so far from being in your size range it would be hard for me to help you decide on what size to get....LOL.  I checked the size chart and it looks like you can go with the xs or small but you wouldn't need to go higher than that.  I know I'm not very helpful sorry.  Hopefully one of the Linea ladies in your size group can assist you.

Please post what you decide....

Karla - if you read my post, you’ll see there is plenty of room in this dress.  I’m shorter & weigh more than you, but still have plenty of room in a small.  I also have few curves & broad shoulders. You should consider XS.  HTH

@Magny  Thanks so much for your advice!!  Sounds like XS will be plenty big.

My dress just got transferred to my local post office.  Hopefully, I will receive it tomorrow.  I'm so excited to receive it...hope it fits.  I told my husband that I had ordered a dress and he said "Really...you never wear dresses, but you should".
