I'm sorry you feel so bad about yourself that you have to insult total strangers to prop yourself up. No amount of money or extensive list of accomplishments will change that. Try therapy or prayer or just being kinder to yourself and others. Or all of the above.

You can read the reviews and see some styling ideas on the site. I wear them with longish blazers.

Whoa. This dress seems too good to be true.

I'm 5'5" and about 120, muscular but also getting a little bit of a mom belly. Do you think I would be a small?

I’m going to break the rules too bc this is over $100. You can sign up to get $20 off. I got this dress and it’s so cute. I want other colors but am a bit nervous the tissue cotton will be too thin. I got black liquid lyocell.

I have it in a few colors, and it can be dressed up or down and is very flattering. Looks good with sandals, wedges or white tennis shoes. Great with a cardigan or jean jacket, and lots of styles of jewelry. I wear it to the office and on the weekend.

Another pp here. I have seen these advertised a lot so interesting to hear from someone who has it.

My recommendation is over a hundred too… zuri sleeveless. They are always coming out with new and unique prints and I feel good wearing them because they arent made using slave labor. They have pockets that fit my phone and keys and wear like iron. I wore the heck out of my zuris last summer and they still look amazing.

Under a hundred, the florrie dress from Boden. I would order it in a couple sizes and prints since Boden can vary a little even in the same style.

I love this grayson one and the christydawn one!! How are they quality wise? I tend to be cheap about my super casual clothes because I rarely find the quality (I'm looking at you boden and draper james) to be better then something I get much cheaper.

I’m obsessed haha I stalk their website every Tuesday for new prints. Sadly the sleeved ones just don’t fit me right but the sleeveless are where it’s at. There’s also a fairly active buy sell trade group on Facebook where you can sell prints you’re just not into anymore for around 100 depending on condition.

This is my perfect summer black throw on dress

https://shop.lululemon.com/p/shop-outfits/ClassicFit-CottonBlend-Dress/_/prod10930356?color=0001&locale=en_US&sl=US&sz=20

I also have several linen dress from OffOn Etsy shop. I’ve been buying from her for years and can say they are excellent quality and last beautifully. Most are under $150. Shipping can take a long time though- weeks/months

Jcrews selection has been terrible. No lining, thin material, and then cut in atypical shape so you can’t even wear a bra. I’m ok going braless too- is it isn’t that. But if I can’t wear a bra, at least put some lining in the dress or use a material that isn’t see through

Ooh that's pretty, too - and pockets. Would I look like a fundie in it though?!
