I''m looking for a black boatneck dress with 3 quarter sleeves

[kcoursolle]

Hi everyone,
About a year ago I saw this dress I loved in a store and I haven''t seen one like it since. I''m looking for a black dress with a boatneck ance three quarter or elbow length sleeves. I''d love the fabric either to be a thin sweater-like material with stretch or a thick jersey with stretch.

Anyone know of a place that sells a dress like that?

I remember seeing that shape in a ponte knit at Macy''s, Nordstrom''s, etc. last year...such a cute style, would love to have one myself. I would check those websites, that is such a classic style that surely those stores are still carrying it.

I love boatnecks w/ 3/4 sleeves - I''ve been looking everywhere for shirts with this combo.

That dress NF posted is adorable, and J Crew always makes such nice things

This is beautiful! I wish it wasn''t so formal though. I''m looking for something in a more fluid and less structured fabric. This is adorable though!

This is a great idea! I thought that this would be relatively easy to find (hence why I didn''t buy the last one I saw), but I''m actually surprised at how hard they are to find!

I love tees with this shape as well, if anyone finds some of those in jersey or soft stretchy cotton I''d definitely be interested! This combo is always so flattering on the shoulders and busts of most women.

I feel like its always that way when you are looking for something really specific - you saw it but didn''t get it, and then it becomes really hard to find.

Have you tried googling those terms together in different combinations?

I have one that I have about worn out. I love it. I have been looking for a replacement for a couple of years and haven't found anything quite right. I love how comfortable it is to wear.
AmberGretchen - wow Thanks for posting that site - I have never seen it before and suspect it will become a regular site for me!

Here''s another one:

I am actually sitting here at work wearing it today and it''s pretty comfortable! I found it at one of the post-holiday Saks sales, so I think there are still a bunch floating out there. It looks more shapeless on the model there then it actually is on, just as an FYI.
