Is this dress worth buying?

If you want a low-maintenance jersey midi that hides the midsection and comes in petite lengths, it fills that gap. If you want a substantial fabric or a dressy look, look elsewhere.

How does it fit compared with other LOFT dresses?

It runs close to LOFT's regular sizing, but the ruching makes it more forgiving than a straight-cut jersey dress. Shoppers between sizes often size down for a closer fit.

What is the length like in petite?

The petite cut is designed to hit mid-calf on shorter frames, roughly the same place the regular hits on taller shoppers. Check the size chart's garment length before ordering.

Can I machine wash it?

Yes, polyester jersey is machine washable; cold water and line drying keep the ruching from stretching out. Skip the dryer to avoid shrinkage and pilling.

What would I wear it with?

It works with sandals and a denim jacket for daytime, or heels and a blazer for a casual office. A slip underneath helps if the fabric is thin.

LOFT marks down seasonal dresses around major holiday sales and end-of-season clearances. Watch the price history for a drop below the typical full-price level before buying.

Our take on the LOFT Women's Keyhole Ruched Midi Dress

The LOFT Keyhole Ruched Midi Dress is a sleeveless jersey knit dress with a round neck, a small keyhole opening and ruching through the body that skims rather than clings. It comes in regular and petite lengths, which matters on a midi cut that can hit mid-calf on taller shoppers. Polyester jersey travels well and needs little ironing, but it is thin-weight and shows wrinkles and static. It is a casual, everyday piece rather than a dressy one.
