GRACE KARIN Women’s Gorgeous Pencil Dress Cap Sleeve Tweed Pencil Dress for Work

Super cute!
I bought this dress last minute for a conference and absolutely loved it! It fit true to size based on the sizing chart, and although it does not have an inner lining, it never felt scratchy on me. The color is gorgeous and the shape is perfect for busty or hour glass ladies. It also wasn’t too thick and I didn’t notice any wrinkles despite not ironing it. I received a ton of compliments and overall, this dress is a great value.

Flattering cut but unlined
I purchased the pink tweed using the manufacturer size chart. I always buy based on bust measurements because that’s the hardest point for me to get things to fit properly. This dress was spot on! Use the size chart included in the photos! While I hate that the size charts from China always make me feel like I am a bloated toad I do buy based on measurements and ignore the size. I advise buyers to put aside vanity and do the same for the perfect fit.This dress is very pretty on and gives classic Chanel vibes. I paired it with some shoes that I found also on Amazon that were Chanel dupes and it was an amazing outfit.The dress is extremely comfortable. However it is unlined. It would look more expensive if it had lining! For those who aren’t used to wearing old school slips, buy one. The dress will look much more expensive when it is gliding over you vs. sticking to your skin. I did that and it truly looked so beautiful.The neckline is very unique. I loved it but did have to adjust my bra so it did not peek out on the lower corners. It wasn’t a big deal but just be aware that you may encounter this.In terms of the fabric— I would agree with other reviewers here. This is a loose tweed. I don’t know how this would hold up for everyday wear. I could see this pulling and snagging easily. But then again there are sweater dresses and people buy them so there’s that. For my purposes it works great.This is the kind of dress that is a time capsule dress. It’s a classic. You can dress it down with a cardigan or crew neck sweater and a pair of flats, or dress it up with a blazer and pumps.It terms of it being a scratchy fabric, I disagree. So many fabrics these days are slippery sports type poly or nylon or Lycra. I deplore them. If that’s what you are expecting then you won’t like this fabric. Tweed has more of a wool or cotton/linen feel which by its very nature is heavier and less soft than something like a yoga pant or legging. Tweed is also a woven fabric vs a knitted fabric so there is a texture difference. I found the dress to be comfortable which says something since I have a nerve disease that makes scratchy fabrics literally painful to wear. But I wore appropriate undergarments so that could be the difference as to why I didn’t find the fabric bothersome.Would I recommend? Yes.Do I wish it was lined? Yes.Is it comfortable? Yes.Do I think it will hold up over time? Questionable and only time will tell.Am I pleased with my purchase? Yes.Would I buy again? Yes.Update: I bought a second dress, black (plaid). Again I followed the size chart included in the photos. Just as with the first purchase, this second dress was a perfect fit for me. The more I have worn the first dress, the more I love it. It is so comfortable! I suspect I may be back for another (third) dress maybe in green or blue. Two of my friends liked it so much they have ordered for themselves.I will say this is a beautiful cut, and also emphasize that I wish it was lightly lined in the skirt. It looks incredible on!

Very good!
Good quality fabric! The style is good to me!

Buyer beware, sizing may differ based on color options (most forgiving is the grey tweed)
Cons:1) Size can differ by color (see below)2)Threads can be easily removed -file your nails, don’t walk by anything with a rough edge, etc3) Not modern (that can be a plus, depending on the look you are going for)Pros:1) Very flattering on a plus sized body2) Can be professional, seasonal or ? based on color. The navy is very festive3)The priceI purchased three dresses in the color grey tweed since I was not sure about the sizing. I ended up keeping the large for my mother, she wears a 14/16 in Calvin Klein/Tommy Hilfiger dresses (Calvin Klein dresses are pretty consistent with the sizing).I was so in love with this dress based on reviews that I purchased the navy in a size large before the three dresses arrived. The navy in a large was almost too tight (I can be a size 8-12 depending on the manufacturer), while the size medium in the grey tweed fit me.

Absolutely love this dress. I’m 5’2 and 135lbs. I bought a medium and it fits perfectly. I ended up buying this dress in 3 colours. 100% worth the price. Comfortable, stylish and well made.

A perfect fit and beautiful material. I have gotten many compliments when I wear this dress. The fit is perfect, and very work appropriate. It hits right at my knees, and fits well without being too tight or clingy. The neckline is very pretty and isn’t too low. The material is a good weight so it’s easy to wear in warm or cooler weather.

Beautiful dress and fit!True to size.
