I recently ordered this shirtdress from ModCloth:
thinking it would be a perfect work dress for this coming fall and winter. It's professional without being stuffy, has some texture with the clip dotted material, provides the kind of coverage I prefer, AND pockets! Alas, when it arrive the bust was WAY too tight, I could get it buttoned, but it was bordering on absence. Yes, I could have gone up a size, but maybe it's my vanity, or the fact that from my perspective my body is still in transition from having my baby... but I just didn't want to go up. So I returned it. Looking back over my past ModCloth orders I've returned more things than I've kept over the past two years... and I'm starting to realize I've aged-out of ModCloth.
But all is not lost, I've started digging into eShakti and I think my work dress conundrum will soon have a solution, but I need your help! Which dress?
A.
This knit number is right up my alley with it's silhouette and rich jewel tone, plus it looks really easy to wear and a great dress to pair with boots and blazers.
B.
Five years ago, heck two years ago, I would have been all over this celestial print, BUT even with all the eclipse mania I don't think this particular novelty pattern suits me. However I REALLY dig this silhouette, waistline, sleeves, and collar of this frock. Sign me up for this exact dress in a different print.
C.
Speaking of prints, hello polka-dots my old friend! The only thing I'd change here is the neckline. I'm more a V-neck lady, which IS an option with eShakti, you can customize necklines, sleeves, & lengths!
D.
Love the retro feel of this dress! But I'm not so sure about the waist embellishments...
E.
I would opt for a midi hem on this frock. The neckline, sleeves, and print are all working for me, or are they? Those poppies seem a bit too bright, no?
F.
Like the maxi above, this shift also sports a layered floral and dot print. I like that the sash belt is removable since I'd style this with a leather or stretch belt to better cinch the waist.
G.
Another maxi that I'd customized with a shorter hem. And, while I wasn't too crazy about the constellation pattern in dress B. above, I think a star pattern is more doable, it's closer to a polka dot than a novelty print.
H.
Florals with birds in this choice, with another removable fabric belt, but this time rendered as a shirtdress.
I'm sure you can see the theme here, dark background dresses with standard prints in midi lengths and sleeves, and of course pockets* They are very similar and I need some opinions on this one. Which dress? A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H!!! So many good options! Leave your choice in the comments!
I also couldn't help but put this whimsical piece on my wishlist.....
Yep, a starry-print jumpsuit. I know I was all uppty about the celestial print of the second dress and now I'm thinking of spending dough on a very impractical jumpsuit. But, it IS super cute, right?
Thanks for voting!
*I've decide I will no longer shop for dresses without pockets, they are essential for a busy woman like myself. And, if pants don't have proper pockets you can for get about it!
