I ordered the large in beetroot and she is a dream to wear. So comfortable, and I'm hoping to do a 30 day challenge in her soonish. Wish I had her in other colours, too.
I have wide shoulders and a full bust. This dress has enough room at the top to look flowy and flattering, without looking frumpy.
This is a great travel dress, as the two neckline options give such different looks. With the V at the front, I usually wear a camisole (vest) underneath as the V goes quite low. With the V in the back I have to pull the shoulder seams forward a bit so the neckline doesn't choke me - it's not ideal, but it works.
This dress is lovely but it has no pockets so I had to return it. I hope they will make a new version with pockets!
We really appreciate your review and feedback here. Thanks for giving this dress a try!
Do I like it? Yes!
Would I buy it again? Probably not.
The rootbeet colour that was the reason why I bought the dress, contains more black than I hoped for. It is not a bright and happy beetroot, but subdued.
The fit of the dress is not perfect to my liking, as the waistline is a bit too high compared to my natural waist. The dress is also a tiny bit too short and the skirt is clinging to my stockings. It could probably be fixed with a silk slip, though.
I consider having the elastic waistline changed by a seamstress to a waistline more like Renata, but then I might ruin the reversibility.
The reversibility works perfectly for me and I use both versions.
I miss pockets.
Wonderfull dress - nice fabric and a good fit
I like the flirty, not-quite-serious and yet feminine cut of Brooklyn, and Aegean Teal is a colour do die for. Brooklyn in general is easy to wear. I wore her for a 30 day challenge without problems, and the clever cut of the sleeves keeps the dress from getting sweaty or smelly. While I wash my Rowenas once a week, Brooklyn just keeps on championing.
Ich liebe es, es ist leicht hat ein geringes Packmaß. Ich war erst etwas skeptisch aber auch die reguläre Länge ist für mich gut zu tragen, geht etwa bis eine Hand über dem Knie. Ich werde mir noch eins kaufen. Modernes Rot wäre schön.
I'm so happy yo have found a dress that I can wear in Summer that can help me not overheating! I was sceptical to wear wool during Summer but I definitely can tell that it's a perfect material. I'm now doing the 100 days challenge with the Camellia dress that I wore for 1 month before starting the challenge. I will be happy to wear this Brooklyn dress for Autumn, but I tried it already and it fits perfectly! The material is so great, and the size L is perfect for me. The color is also amazing!!
I wasn’t sure about this dress because I have quite big boobs and I wasn’t sure it would suit me. However I was surprised how much I like it and my husband also likes it on me. I do have to use Hijab magnets if I wear it to work because too much cleavage otherwise. A keeper though and I like having sleeves. Not reversed it yet but will try sometime.
I previously tried a different color Brooklyn in long and didn't feel too enthusiastic about it, but this regular length dress is a wonderful fit. It is somewhat shorter than I usually wear, but somehow that doesn't appear to be a problem. The waist is quite high, but actually falls more or less exactly where my natural waist is. The color is rich and wonderful and I already knew the fabric is amazing. I doubt I'll wear it much backwards because it feels a bit chokey, but it does look great, so who knows. For colder seasons I have other dresses, but in summertime I'm looking forward to wearing it a lot.
Note: I selected my "usual size" for other brands, whereas in wool& dresses I am apparently a consistent XS. Could probably also wear S comfortably, although the chest might gape some.
