Compared within this brand.
| Plaid Cotton Shirtdress: Choose this if you want a preppy, checkered shirtdress in 100% cotton twill with a full-length button front, point collar, buttoned cuffs, and side-seam pockets. It has a loose trapezoid cut with princess seams, midi length (125 cm / about 49 inches from the shoulder in size 4), and lightly sculpting inserts that keep a flowy drape, with sizes 2 through 14 offered. The timeless, sophisticated feel is the brand's own promotional framing, so treat that as styling rather than guaranteed quality.[1] | Striped Poplin Shirtdress: Choose this if you want a fitted-bodice cotton shirtdress with a defined waist — it has an adjustable self-tie belt, full-length buttons, short cuffed sleeves, side-seam pockets, and a full A-line midi skirt (51.25 inches from the top of the shoulder). It is made of 100% cotton poplin with a delicate striped pattern, described as soft and comfortable, and is machine washable and tumble dry friendly. Note it is only shown here in size 10 in the Mauve color, so check the fit chart if that sizing does not suit you.[2,3,4,5,6] | Cotton Cami Maxi Dress: Choose this for a timeless, preppy aesthetic defined by a feminine fit-and-flare silhouette. This dress features a stretch ribbed cotton jersey bodice paired with a lightweight lined cotton skirt that is full and gathered with multiple horizontal pintuck and lace bands.[7,8,9] |
