Okay, so this dress was not what I expected. When it showed up, it was much thicker and more durable than what I was expecting. Thick in a way that I could dress it up or down (with a belt) without looking ridiculous. I do wish the neckline was a little more feminine but that would be my only gripe. Also, I am 5’8, 120 lbs and I received a small but wish I would have ordered an XS. I will definitely be keeping this in my summer rotation.

The style of this dress is simple which I love! Personally I felt that the dress is very thick compared to anything else that I own, so I would not recommend wearing in the summer. It wasn’t the most flattering dress on, it has an oversized look but I’m also about 5’2 so it didn’t look great on me. A nice feature is that it has pretty deep pockets on both sides of the dress. It would be a cute look with a pair of retros!

This shirt is very well made with heavy cotton material. At first glance, it looks like an oversized t-shirt and not form fitting at all. I personally felt like it is a little oversized and makes someone look very boxy. So, I would add a belt and necklace to dress it up. What I do like about this essential dress the most is that it does make me feel very comfortable and has pockets! This dress looks very athletic and relaxing to wear with sneakers or slippers. Since I live in Florida, I would most likely wear this out during chilly weather and not during our hot summer months.
