J.Jill Sleeveless Mock-Neck Dress in Black Retro Paisley

August 13, 2017

I totally have a style crush on paisley prints lately.  It seems like the perfect blend of funky and classic, and even a nice transition from summer to fall.

J.Jill sent me this dress to review. All opinions are all my own only.

The Dress

This cute little mock-neck swing dress is a perfect little transitional summer to fall dress.  Like all J.Jill pieces, it’s high quality, with a blend of classic wearability and trendy styling.  Of course, it’s versatile as well … won’t it be adorable for the dress-over-pants trend?  And for sure I’ll be wearing it with tights, boots, and a cardigan when the weather cools.

The Sizing

So, I decided to try the tall sizing from J.Jill for a change, and I think that’s it’s actually a bit big on me.  I don’t think I’m as tall as I think I am!  Hee!  (I’m 5’7″ by the way). Usually I wear the XS Misses size, and this is a ST (Small Tall, no XS in Tall sizes). Remember that J.Jill runs big, so be sure to size down when you order!
