Gap striped t shirt dress


Are you drawn to items that aren't the most flattering?  Tee shirt dresses are on my love/hate list.  I love them because they are so comfortable and easy to wear but unfortunately I do not possess the straight figure and  long limbs for them.  Still, every year I try and this time, the Gap version caught my eye--you know how addicted to stripes I am.  This dress is surprisingly flattering since the material is thicker (the better to hide bumps and lumps) and the top is cut small so it's fitted but it's still roomy in the hip area.  I belted it for a bit more shape and wore this all weekend long, from an estate sale to grocery shopping to the movies.  I'm thinking it might be worth investing in the navy/white striped version next!

  1. Okay, this is great. I have a love-hate relationship with t-shirt dresses for the same reasons you do, but this is amazing. I think I might just have to try one. If they have it in Tall, that is...

  4. Yes. I bought this in the black and white. I wore it unbelted and was in JCrew later that day and was trying on belts and was like, "hey...this looks cute belted!" I like the color combo you have, too.
