OP - I'm buying this to throw on instead of shorts and a t-shirt when I WFH, need to get kids to/from camp, grocery store run, etc. I don't need it to be particularly flattering - just loose and easy and comfortable. I wouldn't wear it to a wedding, but I wouldn't think twice if someone else did. Also, I have great legs and arms and a big stomach - this IS a flattering dress for my body type. |
Agree. Look objectively at the models. Even they look BAD in them. There is nothing flattering about those dresses on size 2 models when compared to so many other forms of clothing. I feel like they're very sneaky dresses. In theory they are very appealing (linen! little pleated tailoring!) but then you have to take a step back and objectively look at them. They are just SO UNFLATTERING! |
OP, I wish everyone would stop offering their opinions on whether or not the dress you like is flattering and actually answer your question -- I am also interested in the answer. Sorry I don't have any experience with those dresses but I second the poster who said they had a good experience with Quince customer service. |
I have two of the sleeveless Quince dresses and they are perfect for what you have described. They are a fairly sturdy linen that has held up well so far and isn’t super wrinkly. The white is see-through though so I would go with a darker color. |
OP— Thank you!! Super helpful. I read reviews for the dresses on both sites and people have the same complaints about the $178 dress as they do about the $60 dress. 😂 $60 wins! |
I have one of these and hate it, but not for any reason related to quality—it just looks terrible on me. But I’m a pear with tiny waist and stocky legs, so these dresses are exactly the wrong shape for my body. Should have been smart enough to recognize that before purchasing. |
https://www.kohls.com/product/prd-6539488/womens-sonoma-goods-for-life-sleeveless- Kohl’s has this dress. pintuck-dress.jsp?skuid=59769208&CID=shopping30&utm_campaign=CASUAL%20DRESSES&utm_medium=CSE&utm_source=google&utm_product=59769208&utm_campaignid=20503756948&CID=shopping30&utm_campaign=SSC&utm_medium=CSE&utm_source=google&utm_campaignid=20503756948&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-J-SnuPzhQMV50n_AR35mQqaEAQYASABEgK70PD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds |
I’m actually considering getting one of these from Faherty now, they are cute! I think I’d take a Kohls dupe over the Quince one tho |
Can’t comment on quince but I have the second Faherty one and the indigo color is amazing. The sleeveless one was shorter when I tried them on even though the website claims they’re the same length |
I have the white, then bought the black also. 5’6 165. Pear shape. I normally don’t look my best in dresses that don’t have a waist but these work. Really like them. |
Ditto. And like OP, I didn’t buy this dress intending it to be used very formally. I’m trying to up my jeans/pants and a t shirt game for regular weekends. Plus it seems great for hot days |
I’ve owned the OG version of this dress, which I bought in Italy seven years ago. Just chiming in to say this is absolutely my go-to piece of clothing on DC days when it’s 90° + and I need to be outdoors for more than 45 seconds running from the car to air-conditioning
I don’t care if onlookers think it’s unflattering - it likely is. It’s hands-down the coolest item of clothing I own, and doesn’t stick to any skin. Who wants to wear form fitting clothing and be outside when the heat index is 113? |
