The dresses are super washable and non iron (I also have the Something Borrowed shirt dress). They don’t wrinkle and I buy darker colors (won’t show sweat etc) and I’ve been happy. Their clothes are unlined so you may need a slip for some of the dresses. I machine wash and the colors are allContinue reading “Back to Front Shirt Dress”

Belladonna Dress
This is the linen and cotton blend. The linen is yellower than expected. Wanted to post a pic of my first Sézane order since I always find it nice to see how clothes look on someone other than the model. Pros: the colors are beautiful, I am really tall and it hits right at myContinue reading “Belladonna Dress”
Dora Dress
I might have been able to get a 4 but that might have been snug around the hips. I’m typically a size 6 on top and and 8 on bottom for pants. Dress and skirt size is 6. Pros: the fabric is very, very pretty visually and feels pretty good given the materials. The greenContinue reading “Dora Dress”
Climbing Rose Dress
It’s a verrrryyyy light beige color, unlike on the website where it looks like it would be a stark white. I’m planning on returning it unfortunately because the fabric is very thin and you can see my underwear when I wear it. I would need special undergarments for it and I’m not down for it.Continue reading “Climbing Rose Dress”
Elaine Dress
In terms of sizing, I’m about 165cm (5’5) and usually wear EUR 38 (US 6) in dresses and EUR 38/40 (US 6/8) in pants. Shiny but OH-SO-ITCHY. The dress is noticeably heavy. I only managed to try the dress once but it gave me temporary rashes on my arms and neck.Sezane,6,$285,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Dress,French Brands,Size 6 AllContinue reading “Elaine Dress”
Doha Tie Waist Dress
This dress was part of my “return to office” purchases – after years of leggings and sweats, I had to refresh my roster of work dresses. I found this dress on the ba&sh website and thought the silhouette looked like it would be fairly forgiving which it totally was. It came with a belt whichContinue reading “Doha Tie Waist Dress”
Soft Lounge Long Sleeve Dress
I bought two different Skims dresses – you can see the tank version here. I initially ordered the XXS which is pictured below but decided to return and get the XS instead. I was worried that with the fabric being so light and stretchy, it might look too sheer and I wanted a bit moreContinue reading “Soft Lounge Long Sleeve Dress”
Chambray Shirred Waist Maxi Dress
I love the concept behind this dress – it looks like the perfect spring/summer weekend dress as you chase around your kids. I think this kind of dress looks really flattering on women who are long and lean. When you’re 5’6 and 135lbs, it doesn’t quite have the same effect. I think if the necklineContinue reading “Chambray Shirred Waist Maxi Dress”
Sigrid Dress
I bought this dress as part of “return to work” purchases. Just wanted a simple black dress that could be versatile and functional without breaking the bank. This one fit the bill. Feels like the dress is pretty close to what was advertised. The only thing that is a little off is that the pleatsContinue reading “Sigrid Dress”
Jia Dress
This brand is an unusual one – I saw lots of beautiful marketing images on Instagram and was intrigued enough to spend some time on the website. It turns out this was a “made to order” brand – they’re all about limiting production volumes to reduce waste, so if you end up ordering an item,Continue reading “Jia Dress”
Ponte Scallop Trim Fit + Flare Dress
Background: I saw this dress in the store and it was definitely a very “on-brand” style for me. I think I probably should’ve sized up and it might have worked but the store was seriously packed and I didn’t love it enough to be bothered. I loved that the store had everyone from teens shoppingContinue reading “Ponte Scallop Trim Fit + Flare Dress”
Soft Lounge Long Slip Dress
This dress is amazing! The fabric is super stretchy with thin fabric but isn’t see-through in normal lighting (will have to test in sunlight). I didn’t notice any panty lines but the fabric is thin enough that none of my current bras work as they’re visible through the fabric. I’m going to try wearing theContinue reading “Soft Lounge Long Slip Dress”
Tabitha Animal Print Dress
Background: I’m a REISS fangirl. I love their shirt dresses, although I do think the quality is not quite what it used to be in the past. This style tends to be flattering on most body types and I love that they have a number of different colors and patterns. I’ve been the eyeing theContinue reading “Tabitha Animal Print Dress”
Wild Chamomile Print Fit and Flare Dress
Background: I was constantly bombarded with ads for Me + Em – funny thing is, the Instagram algorithm really works because the aesthetic is definitely up my alley. I would have this loop of adding things to cart, especially items that were on sale, get to the check out and then chicken out because I’veContinue reading “Wild Chamomile Print Fit and Flare Dress”
Belted High Neck Midi Dress
I didn’t buy this dress but one of my coworkers did. And she bought the dress because we have yet another coworker who has been a complete evangelist for the brand. There are three women who I know who bought this exact same dress because it’s so comfortable yet incredibly flattering. Because my coworker isContinue reading “Belted High Neck Midi Dress”
Cotton Poplin Eleanor Dress
Purchased for $359 (originally $598). Debated between buying the 00 or the 0 – checked the measurements and decided to go with the 0 which was the right decision. The fabric is a heavy cotton poplin and makes that classic sound that crisp cotton does. It feels fun to wear.,,,
Rib Knit Midi Dress
Purchased on December 2022; reviewed on February 2023. Obsessed with this dress! This is completely unlike any dress that I’ve purchased before. It was also my first purchase from Maje (although I have purchased from Sandro, the sister brand). It’s a really beautiful knit fabric that has stretch but with enough heft that you can’tContinue reading “Rib Knit Midi Dress”
Elyse Lace Trim Dress
Quick caveat, I didn’t end up purchasing this dress but I had this pic on my phone so I thought it would be helpful to share. Note – at the time, I was looking for “office appropriate” dresses, and at first blush I thought this dress could work. However, as soon as I put itContinue reading “Elyse Lace Trim Dress”
