I'm not sure how I feel about the pleats in the back. On the model it doesn't show back pleats. I'm fine with the front ones because they hide my belly pouch.
Can someone who is a size 6/8 or s/m at places like old navy comment on what size you got this dress in? Seems like a good deal.
Is it post pg friendly?
I wear consistently wear a 12/L & a medium fits me perfectly. I would guess you'll want a small from LE. It's sort of an empire waist so it should be good for post pregnancy.
farmvillelover - I am normally a size 10 and I just ordered the blue one in Medium. I tried it on yesterday and it fits my almost 33 week pregnant belly, so a M would definitely be too big on you. I do think it will be good post-partum which is why I bought it.
My first Lands End purchase ever. I have mixed feelings about that!
I happen to be wearing one of mine today since it feels like wearing a t shirt so I'll pip farmvillelover. I'm super short so my belly doesn't shorten it up tooooo much.
I'm normally a size 6 and 8. Usually a small in old navy tops/dress, size 2 or 4 pants. The small petite fits fine. I'm 5' and the dress is a tad longer than I like. It hits me right at or slightly under my knee. I would prefer it to be an inch or 2 above knee.

farmvillelover, I tried it on last year (in a small petite) and returned because the bust was too big/saggy on me. It fit everywhere else. I am usually a 6-8 at ON/Gap/BR.
I'm an 8 pretty much everywhere, 5'6 with a 34d chest and mine is an xs.
Damn it I wanted this but I am smaller than you (size 0-2 pants, 2-4 dress with 32d boobs). Is the XS tight on you?
I'm about the same size as you (pre-pregnancy, anyway), aside from having much smaller boobs (currently a B cup while pregnant). I can wear an XS at 33 weeks pregnant, so you could probably go with an XXS. My only hesitation would be that it might be a bit snug in the chest. If you have a Sears near you, you can easily return it there if it doesn't fit.

Okay... dumb vent... why can't they just start at small and go forward into normal sizes?! I am really not an xxs, it is getting impossible to shop for clothing between manufacturers without trying every.single.thing.on!!!!!!!!!!

I'm currently a size 12 in most things and got 2 of these dresses in a size M today... & they are too big in the top. Granted I am pear shaped but I agree the vanity sizing is out of control.... I am not a size Small!
Lol we just got home from an amusement park and DH walked in on me trying this dress on for you guys and wondered what the hell I was up to lol. At least he took the pic for me
So here's my size 6-8 self in the xs. Vanity sizing for sure, I've never in my life been an xs.

I bought mine in-store at Sears, not realizing how large a department they had when I went to return a swimsuit I ordered online. So you can always go try it on if you have it nearby.
