Until now. I have never found anything with kimono sleeves that I liked on me. But, the color and print—a delicate mixture of blue, black, and white—on this dress caught my eye. My interest peaked when I spotted a red clearance tag on it. The deliciously soft jersey dress has a v-neck and empire waist, both adorned with a decorative design. I think I like it.
I wore this dress recently with black ankle strap sandals for a casual evening look.

Hey Psyche,
Great dress, love the detailing and the color!
I love Max Studio dresses. I wish I could find them in discount stores here.
The title did the justice! The beautiful pattern and the high waisted cut (for me, it’s very important in a Kimono dress) are simply fab! Yes, it is a great great Kimono dress and really shows off your stunning figure xxxxxxx
That’s it! Next time I come north to visit the fam, you are showing me around to all the “spots”. Agreed? LOL!
Love! So simple yet so fabulous!
That dress looks fantastic on you!!
So, THAT’s how you spell FOINE. I’ve used it, just never knew how to SPELL it! LOL.
Girl, thanks for stopping by. Camilla is off the meat hook, isn’t she?
I really like it … that is such an unusual color for an asian styled dress … just beautiful!
I love berto xxx’s avatar, most amusing! I love the kimono sleeve on you and your rockn’ my fav the ’empire line’. I think this is a winning shape!
You look so pretty and fresh, really summer-ish.
xoxo
Yea, Kimono dresses are a hit or miss situation and you’re a hit!
…lovely tatas :p!
Thanks for including the detail, it made all the difference for me, because I could see that really sweet pattern!
You look great, as usual. That neckline is fantastic on you.
The dress is really cute, I saw that in dress in another color at TJMaxx and passed it up for some odd reason but it works for you
Berto xxx: Thanks. I think I love your image more though 🙂
Nywele: I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it on. I’ve tried to wear kimono styles before, and they just did not work out.
Cheryl Lynn: Ha. Would you believe I was just going to a movie? I just wanted to wear the dress 🙂
Capis: The 3 F’s huh! Thanks for coming by as always, Capis.
Budget Chic: It is quite striking. Details like the ones on this dress are deal breakers for me.
Nikki: I assume you’ve already tried your local Marshalls/TJ. So, it is unfortunate that you can’t find them there. My stores are overflowing with MS dresses. You might need to take a trip 🙂
Times of Glory: Oooh thanks! It took a long time to find one that was actually flattering. Others were just….not.
Oh that Girl. We’ve got a deal! You don’t even need to call first 🙂
Always in Style: Thanks for coming by.
Cheryl Lynn: I hope that is how it is written. And, yes she is!
Anon: So true. It’s definitely a mod translation of the classic look.
Imelda: Right! The image is amazing. Empire waists rock.
Seeker: Thanks. The fluidity of the dress is so summery indeed.
Secretista: And, I’ve had a whole lot of misses with kimono dresses. Now, that tata comment is a first for my flat chested self, so it must be the push-up Calvin Klein. Lol!
Enc: That neckline is a winner in my book. I like that it can be made more conservative by layering a cami or tank underneath for more wearing opportunities.
Suite B: Ooh. I wonder what other colors it came in. I, too, passed this dress over several times, but I am glad the red clearance tag was calling my name!
Wow what a beautiful dress and the color looks great on you!
