Promising reviews: “Dressing in summer has always been a struggle for me. More so now since I live in a place where it’s hot half the year and it’s over 100 degrees before noon. T-shirts are either too boxy, too clingy or too long. Summer dresses are often too short or sleeveless for comfort on a windy day and I don’t want to bare my arms every day. This dress checks all the boxes of a functional, easy summer necessityThe fabric is airy, the buttons don’t come open, even as a nursing mom (nursing friendly!), the drawstring is functional but doesn’t tangle, and the sleeves are hemmed, not elastic which makes for a comfortable, non-constricting fit. This is a plain dress on its own, but it can be styled with white sneakers or sandals or with accessories and strappy heels. I bought in navy, confetti, French blue stripe, and pink, and honestly I can wear these every day. I might even double up on some of these. I would say this one runs a little big, so if you’re in between two sizes, size down. They hold up well in the washing machine, but I recommend hanging to dry. I’m so relieved to be able to get dressed up in this heat and this dress can’t be recommended enough.” —Laura T.
