Another amazing cotton dress by Velvet. I buy at least one a season from Anthropologie. I’m kinda on this cotton dress kick because they are so easy to care for are super versatile and have simplified my wardrobe. There’s an ease to dresses that I love-no hunting for the perfect bottom or something that matches. The shape and cut are amazing for my long torso/hourglass shape. The neckline adds volume to the bust which is good for me, perfect cocktail length hits at the knee, color brings my eyes alive, and skips over the thigh area. The day to night possibilities are endless. Season less, timeless.
Here’s one for sale right now that’s similar

I tell you what works for me. I encourage you to find dress styles and colors that make your body sing. There is no one shape for everybody. Working with a stylist can help you identify your best styles and colors. alexandrastylist.com
