Pretty Much The Perfect Dress!

I LOVE this dress. It is such a flattering fit, comfortable to wear, and so very stylish in just about any situation. I've worn it to very fancy events and super casual events and have felt great in both settings. I layer it in winter with underskirt and leggings and a cardigan or vest, and in summer I just wear it as is and feel cool as a cucumber. It is one of those foundational pieces of clothing to have in your wardrobe–take care of it, and wear it for the rest of your life.

Better than pajamas

I walked 6 miles in the sunshine the first day I wore this dress. When I got home I cooked dinner in it. When it was bedtime I felt sad I had to change into my less comfortable pajamas. This dress has everything I’ve ever wanted in a single garment.

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.
