Poplin And Knit Fit-And-Flare Dress: Choose this if you want a black fit-and-flare dress for warm-weather social events or dressy-casual daytime outings — per review analysis, reviewers call it a standout summer dress with a true-to-size fit and a comfortable, shapely silhouette from the fitted knit top and flared A-line skirt. It pairs a stretch ribbed knit bodice with a crisp, lightly satiny 100% organic cotton poplin skirt, a removable matching tie belt, slant pockets, contrast topstitching, and a maxi length of 48.75 inches (124.0 cm) from the shoulder, in sizes X-Small through XX-Large. Note that it is unlined, reviews report divided opinions on the fabric feel, the pocket height sits high enough that some found the pockets awkward, and it cannot be worn as a separate skirt since the knit top is attached.[1]Abstract Flowers Voile Shirtdress: Choose this if you want an airy, unlined 100 percent cotton voile shirtdress with a loose drop-shoulder fit, mid-calf length, side vents, and a removable matching tie belt that defines the waist. It suits those drawn to a large abstract floral print shown in cream, rust, and navy, offered in a LARGE-XL Patterned Blue variant. Note the fabric is slightly sheer, so consider what to wear underneath.[2,3,4]Pleated Chiffon Shirtdress: Choose this if you want an ultra light, fluid sheer chiffon maxi dress in a fit-and-flare silhouette with pintucked bodice and skirt, puff sleeves, full-length tone-on-tone buttons, and a removable matching tie belt. It is made from 100% polyester from recycled plastic bottles, has partial chiffon lining, and measures 50.75 inches (129.0 cm) from the top of the shoulder. Note that the sleeves are sheer and the skirt is slightly sheer toward the hem, so lining coverage is limited.[5]

Lovely Dress

★★★★★Kimberly R.

I love this dress. The white stitching makes it. Nice flow to skirt bottom. The only thing is I thought it was a skirt but it is a dress with the white knit top attached.

Bon achat

★★★★★Suzanne B.

Beau tissu, bonne coupe. Cette robe sera ma robe vedette de l'été.
