Thumbs down from me. The shape is good, but that neckline distracts way too much, and not in the good way. I’ve never thought that super-low-cut necklines can flatter cleavage in any way.

I almost *never* like maxi-dresses. This one, though, is not that offensive.
I do wish the bottom half was not that weird gingham-y print. But the overall shape and proportions of the neckline, waist, and skirt are actually quite flattering.

I do not like it either. The lower half of the dress just does not seem to belong to the top half.

I’m not sure how someone with Blake’s figure wearing a dress that low-cut can look matronly but somehow it does. Not a great look. If the dress were knee-length and she was wearing different shoes this might have worked. But this outfit just looks off.

I’m with gokarm on this one. The way it is here, it’s too MK Olsen for me.

True…if the skirt were solid with the top, I’d love it. I’m a big fan of low cut dresses worn properly, and Blake is doing it properly. Overtly sexy AND sophisticated do not normally come hand in hand. Yes, If the skirt were the same as the top, it’d be a winner in my book.
