The purchase of the Bar Harbour Patchwork Shirtdress brings my total to 3. The Jacqueline was my first purchase. Montauk was the second. Each dress fits slightly differently which I attribute to their authentic handmade construction. I love the genuine madras. The Bar Harbour is probably my favorite color way. These dresses fit easily and comfortably on the hottest day while receiving compliments. I cannot remember wearing one without someone admiring it. Although perfect for summer, I transition these dresses through the seasons with jean jackets, sweaters or a velvet blazer. When I want to dress them up, I change the belt to slim leather or raffia and add heels. The fit is generous but true to size. Care is easy. At 5'9" I love the length of these dresses. I would purchase the Americana Madras if it was made in this length or in a simple midi skirt. Please consider a madras midi skirt without the ruffle. A wrap or button front would be spectacular.
