Pockets around the web: reviews of two sundresses

Hourglassy.com recently reviewed two dresses that have pockets.  One, the Retrospec’d Norma Jean Dress is described as having POCKETS, so they're there, but the sizing of pockets is unclear.  The other review, of the Pinup Girl Clothing Jenny Dress, specifies that an iPhone fits easily in "generous" pockets, so that should provide a bit more pocket size info.
