Old Navy Ruffle-Trim Tie-Belt Dress

I’ve been calling my local Old Navy stores every day since the ruffle-trim dress appeared online.  I was so excited, then, when they finally arrived in-store in St. Louis this week.

The dress was as gorgeous in person as it appeared online.  I’m glad I waited to try it on in-store, too, because I needed to size down to get the perfect fit.  I’m a 32C and the top of the small was too big on me. The extra small fit like a charm.

Images of the green and white dresses are from Oldnavy.com

I wore the dress yesterday (as styled below).  And, let me tell you, this dress is an attention grabber.  I received so many compliments and was asked where I purchased it by at least 10 people.  They were all surprised when I informed them that it was from Old Navy.

FYI: The dots on the red dress are tan and not white.
That surprised me when I saw it in person.

For $29.94, this is an amazing dress.  I would definitely purchase a second one in green if I liked heart prints.

    Did you get it at the Ladue location? I was just at Sunset Hills over the weekend and they didn't have it – I really want the heart print version!

      Sure did, Ashley. The Ladue store just got them this week. I bought mine on Wednesday and a store associate mentioned that they just put them out. These will disappear fast, so go as soon as you can!

    Looks lovely. Just got mine yesterday. It might take a while for me to wear mine though. I buy all these things and no where to wear them to. I'm an engineer by day.
    @Ashley yes they will sell out fast. Looks like the red is sold out online alrready

      Good for you. Actually, the only one left online is the black/white heart print. Too bad you can't wear it now. As you can see, I didn't even wait a day to wear mine. Lol!

      Thanks, Mica! The red is really pretty. My decision to get that color was primarily influenced by wardrobe fit and need.

    Oh self imposed shopping ban, how I hate thee! Because otherwise I'd be running over to the mall to score the green one! Really lovely dress.

      Yes, ma'am! I missed it the coupon when I bought this dress, but I used a Viggle gift card to buy it, so I didn't mind. I did return to the store to stock up on a few things using the coupon though.
