I love this dress! I wore it on the first day of school (I'm a teacher) with a red cardigan, and I received a ton of compliments.

I live in south Florida where our summers are very hot and humid. This dress is a lightweight, classic style that I have worn at least three times a week! I am 5'4" and weigh 120lbs. I purchased an xs which is my regular J Crew size. You should own this dress!

I ordered this dress expecting it to be that same weight as the other shirtdresses, and it was more like a swim cover up that an actual dress.

I was walking in the park and a basketball player said, "cute dog and nice dress". And I'm 80 years old. Nuf said.

The shape of this is a little loose, which is great for the heat, but mostly I was struck by how super soft the fabric is. And I love the retro plaid. I think with leggings and a cardigan, it will work for early fall, too. Adorable.

This pretty plaid dress is perfect with sneakers for chasing my toddler around the park. Lightweight cotton, but does not need a lining. It rides up a bit when I sit down, but that's bound to happen with a shift dress. I can jazz it up with a long necklace and a red lip, so it works for a fancy dinner as well as a picnic in the park. The fit is true to size, not as roomy as the usual J Crew fit. I bought the XS, I am 5'5", 120 lb.
