I ordered the wrong size, and they made me a new one when I asked to exchange it. They’re the loveliest. This is my second basic dress. I love it.

Can I live in this?

This is the perfect dress. I did only just purchase it so I am a new wearer, but I've already thought of so many versatile outfits for it. Sweater, overshirt, sneakers, flats, scarf, leggings. I'm not very good at style but this dress really gets me there. I am normally a 2X/3X and got this in 2X. I carry my weight in my torso and was at first worried it would look like a sac k on me, but the cut and fit is perfect. I'm obsessed with it and I'd wear it every day if I could.

I live in this dress

This dress is comfortable enough for lounging and cute enough for work. The pockets are huge and in the perfect place for holding everything you need. I’ve had this dress for over a year and it just keeps getting softer and cozier.

The pockets!

I love how comfy and soft this dress is, and it’s really flattering (the neckline especially is super cute) but the most important part? The pockets! I could throw pretty much my whole purse in there and it all fits, but the dress still drapes beautifully - you’d never know I’m basically always hiding a book on my person when I wear it.

Simple can be everything

I've got this dress in black and a medium wash denim. The cut and style are simple and classic, but with those great little details that make an item of clothing stand out and, as with all Shift garments, highlight the quality that went into the making - the topstitched front and back seams, pocket placement, and the loose-not-boxy A line cut. Feels comfortably tailored if that makes
sense. It layers well too, so I wear mine year round with either a sweater over or and long sleeve shirt under for cold months.
