This dress’ superpower just might be that it’s functional in 3 out of 4 seasons! Wear it with sandals for spring, a navy blazer for fall, and tights, a navy peacoat and riding boots for winter. (It’s way too hot to show you that version right now, but check out a look I posted in 2013 with a similar dress below!) I also love that it comes in regular, petite and plus. Is this is a dress that could also work for you?
