Love this Dress

This is exactly what I've been looking for…I live in a large city where I'm out and about walking most days. I need clothes that are as cool and comfortable as shorts but not shorts! This dress is perfect! The fabric is smooth , holds its shape, and doesn't cling. I bought all 4 colors and washed on...e to compare for shrinkage- no shrinkage! Hung it to dry as per the instructions and it dried in 4 hours with no wrinkles! Will be wearing it casually as pictured and also with sandals and a jacket. Runs true to size. I'm 5'6" ,115 lbs and bought a S. The length is about 1-2" above my knee.

Runs small, wish it came in petite

I have this dress in black, blue, and grey. I am usually a Small, sometimes XS. But the small in this dress was way too clingy in all the wrong places. At 5'3", the small length was OK. The medium is a better fit, but is too long, hitting mid-knee. Wish it came in petite (at the time of this review,... there is only rose color in petite). I like the quality enough that I'll probably keep and spend the extra $ to have them hemmed.

Comments about Essential Tee Dress

While I like the T-shirt dress there was nothing to warn me of the amount of dye in the dress. It leeched onto my apple watch band, my fingernails, and my new sofa! blue dye just doesn't come out. It would have been helpful to advise a cold water wash and second rinse prior to wearing.

Comments about Essential Tee Dress

This dress is the best! It fits TTS and is not too loose but also doesn't hug your figure in all the wrong places. It is amazingly flattering and can be dressed up or down. Looks cute with a jean jacket and tennis shoes, fabulous with sandals, a scarf and light sweater. Such a great purchase-glad I bought two! Btw, I am 5'4", 126 pounds and the small is perfect!

a more mature fit

Dress is not sporty - more of a mature fit , could even be dressed up. Wish sleeve length was a little longer. Otherwise well made.

Great fit and not too short. Easily dress up with sandals and a sweater/jacket, or sporty and casual with sneakers. I'm 5'6", 125lbs, slender build and a small fit perfectly.

Just what I was looking for!

I'd been on the lookout for a casual yet stylish dress, and this one hit all the marks. It's slightly fitted but not "skinny fit," hits just above my knee, and moves easily. I'd been looking for something casual, but not overly sporty, and this dress hits the perfect balance. It's comfortable without being frumpy, lightweight without feeling cheap. Love it!!
