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?

Sure! These are the two I am considering getting:

https://www.quince.com/women/organic-linen-shortsleeve-dress?color=deep-navy

How do people look good in these dresses? They just seem to be shapeless sacks.
I am truly not trying to be mean right now either. I just don't see how they are flattering.

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

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’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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!
