The Shirt Dress

written by Michele Obi on Thu, Jun 28, 2007

My current obsession? Shirt dresses. If smocks make you well…. appear to be in the early stages of pregnancy and the maxi dress defeats the purpose of showing off your stunning legs…then the shirt dress is a fantastic alternative. In extremely hot temperatures the light weight fabric and short hemline proves to be practically life saving. Different interpretations compliment various body shapes. For those that are blessed with a lean trim figure opt for a more fitted style such as this Kimberly shirt dress by Elie Tahari, $398.

If you want to draw attention away from the mid region then go for an oversized version…..think Carrie in that iconic Sex and the City episode when she leaves Big’s home in his shirt and belt. Trust me it’s a perfect ensemble when looking for an outfit to cover up certain areas. Intermix also has a varied selection of this summer staple and Gap has a roll up sleeve shirtdress on sale at $14.99 down from $59.50 that is perfect for casual day wear…..but be warned its selling fast!

    I agree. My daughters and I have been thrifting for shirt dresses for over a year. I’m so glad to see them coming back around!

    I love the look of the oversized shirt dress. And with the right accessories or shoes, anyone can rock this look. I recently bought a La Rok dress, that is inspired by the shirt dress.

    [...] My Fashion Life is obsessing over shirt dresses. I concur. If you find a shirt dress that suits your idiom, do not hesitate to snap it up.We, the ladies and I, have been scouting thrift stores for shirt dresses, mainly for them, for over a year. He hee. When my functionally elegant daughter wore one to church a few months back (it was a salmon pink that looked like it could have been current), her friends were all like, “WHAT are you wearing?” It’s awesome!
