i’ve got one of these. saw my neighbor wearing a different color yesterday and she looked fantastic.

i have that one in two colors and i’ve never gotten so many compliments on a dress. also has pockets. the skirt part gets very wrinkly after a wash so either be ready to iron or be ready to walk around with some wrinkles.

Variants of that Everlane dress seem to be everywhere this year.

I knew what it had to be before clicking the link from your comment alone.

i’m the one who suggested it and i didn’t know! i got mine last year and really love them.

i’m also the one who suggested karma east a while ago - the australian dress company. they make block print cotton dresses that mrs roper would wear if she taught kindergarten. i wear a lot of karma east in the summer. women compliment the dresses; men never go. i love them.

Wow, those are aggressively unflattering. The models all look like Mormon tiktokkers unsuccessfully trying to hide an early third pregnancy.

Why would a Mormon tiktoker try to hide a pregnancy? Aren't they big on being pregnant? You look like your whole life is trying unsuccessfully to hide that you're a cont.

Mabel Dress on that site looks like LuLaRoe from ten years ago. Also a Utah thing

I'm trying soma and everlane next and will report back!

Sane size as you (fairly busty as well) and cannot find a summer dress that fits well. I can’t do these spaghetti strap things and anything big enough for the chest just looks like a paper bag (I have skinny legs). Anything with a belt or defined waist hits too high on me (am I long waisted?)

Update after wearing, have bought two more in different prints. These are so comfortable and easy to throw on and go.

Why is everyone hating on Mormons?

Cult of homemaking, perfection, social media weirdness. I personally know some Mormons who are very nice people I think it’s more the aesthetic they are hating on.

How bizarre! I have two of the cotton gauze dresses from Pact and love them - I'm 5'2" and a size 6, and they are incredibly flattering on me. I can't believe you think they're thick - are you one of those people that has bought into the cheapo "tissue thin" cotton t-shirts that get holes after 3 washes?

I returned both of the Everlane dresses also because they were enormous and I didn't feel like going a size down would really help. The skirts were too full and an awkward length and though they fit in the bust the straps were about 2 inches too long on both dresses.

So that leaves soma. I ordered three (one was shipped separately and hasn't come yet). I'm going to keep them. I love that I don't have to wear a bra with them and they are breezy and cool. I feel like that have a little bit of a nightgown look, but I think they'll be good for around the house, errands, pool when I don't want to swim, sports events, etc.

Before seeing any of these in person I never would have guessed Soma would be the ones I keep.

Maybe I'll try karma east also.

I think what we're learning is that you think everything makes you look fat, LOL!

It's so cute, nice fabric, lightweight but not see-through. Definitely a dress yiu can slip on and go. Reasonable price and got here faster than an order I placed in the US on an earlier date!

It’s a cult not a religion
It treats women like brood mares
Welfare is prevalent

I'm the mom who pointed out I was Christian since the previous PP had brought up religion. I didn't make the comment you're referencing now and I don't homeschool my children. My children are vaccinated, I hate Donald Trump, and I believe in gay marriage.
