One reviewer ordered this dress (in size Large) — and a lot of other dresses — to wear in front of the camera with her newborn. The sweater dress was the winner.

"I ordered this last minute for a photo shoot we'd be doing with our newborn," she says. "I was almost 2-weeks postpartum and wanted to look nice — kind of a tall order! I scoured Amazon for neutral-colored flowy dresses and found this. I'm so happy I did! It's comfortable and the color was true to picture. I actually ordered back-up pieces in case this one was a fail. [I] had to return them because they weren't as nice as this dress. It is a little on the short side, but I didn't mind since photos were from the waist up. If you're on the fence, just order it!"

It's a great LBD for work dress, too

Going back to work and leaving the baby with someone else is bad enough. You don't need the added trauma of trying to find something to wear that fits and flatters. 

This dress, in black, is the perfect little black dress to wear to work. Casual yet pulled together. It's flattering and versatile enough to wear with whatever shoes you can stand to wear that day.

"Very forgiving dress," agrees reviewer VG. "It can be dressed up or down, with heels or boots and nice length for work too."

It's a great look in winter weather

The fabric is a great weight and texture for winter. And it's flattering to your curves. Don't avoid holiday parties because your wardrobe isn't designed for the body you have right now. 

This Lionstill Sweater Dress can solve that little problem for less than $25.

"I paired it with a pair of high, high boots when I went out and felt fierce!" says one reviewer. "The fabric is a good thickness for fall or winter."

It's so versatile, it's like two dresses

The tie is a great element. It adds interest to the front of the dress. But you don't have to wear it that way. You can tie it in back to make the dress fit you perfectly, instead.

"I love that this dress can be tied in the front or back," gushes reviewer Reba. "Great quality. It’s loose but once you tie it becomes form-fitting."

Great bell sleeves make for a fun outfit

The sleeves of this Lionstill sweater dress are a terrific bell shape, which is a fun and flattering detail. It's dressy when you wear them pulled down. But you can also pull them up a bit to show off your bracelets.

"LOOK AT HOW CUTE THIS DRESS IS!" shouts Alyssa, in the reviews. "I was skeptical because I’ve never had belle-like sleeves before but I am IN LOVE! Fits great, feels great, looks great!"

Yes, it's dressy enough to wear to a wedding

Casual enough for the office. But dressy enough for an event, this dress will have you looking gorgeous for the duration of your postpartum experience and well into your baby's first years. 

"Loved this dress!!!" says reviewer Wendy. "It’s one of my favorite purchases ever. I got so many compliments on it. I wore it to an October wedding and it was perfect. Love!! Love! Highly recommend."
