Perfect autumn dress

Lightweight knit dresses are quickly replacing airy chiffon as the chillier autumn air encroaches. This black and white leopard print number from Wallis' petite section fits the bill of everything I could want in a dress for early October.

Petite sizes are often an impossibility for me, as I'm petite in stature, and no where else, but since this dress is a knit, it is forgiving of my curves and perfect for my height.

Come winter this dress will be substantial enough to layer with tights, boots and a jacket, or it might be fun with a fur vest.

My only qualm is that the website description does not disclose that the zippered front pockets are in fact, faux. For me, pockets are a huge selling point on a dress and it was a bit of let down when I unzipped them and did not find a place to put my hand.

Other than that, it is a fabulous little dress and I intend to wear it quite a bit this season!
