I would consider myself a pretty tough judge when it comes to shirtdresses. I have tried on many and own quite a lot. They’re some of my favorite things to wear and I have yet to get sick of them. This one is unlike any I own in that it has a very full and long skirt. It has a classic, ladylike chicness. I honestly wish I could wear something like this every day.
I love when dresses come with belts so you can tie it as tight or loose as you need for a great fit. They show the belt in a big bow, but I think it looks much sleeker just tied in a knot. You can also swap out the sash for one of your own belts. I think a thick brown leather belt would look gorgeous here.
I’m just under 5’6″ and I’d say that I probably couldn’t go any longer with the dress before I was absolutely swimming in it. Luckily though, it comes in petite sizes too!
Ever since I got this little bag, I’ve been carrying it as often as I can. I wear a lot of navy and white, so it’s a frequent pick for me.
I had planned on wearing a wedge or a small heel with the dress… but honestly? There’s nothing more comfortable than my ballet flats for walking around in the city.

I love a good shirtdress, especially during fall! I’ve been wearing quite a few lately even though it’s still really hot here in Hong Kong. Can’t help myself. 🙂

Those ballet flats are so cute and go perfect with the dress! I love how simple yet so elegant this outfit is!

Love how you styled this with flats! The biggest reason I don’t wear dresses like this very often is that I always feel like I need to wear them with heels or wedges…which I’m rarely in the mood to deal with! Outfit looks great!
Your shirtdress looks gorgeous Carly! I love the colour, too! It’s wonderful!
Happy Thursday!

This is too beautiful! It has an Audrey Hepburn feel! Just gorgeous!
Love love this shirtdress on you. I think the plating or scrunching really works on it!
Such a cute dress!
So glad this comes in petite too! Tailoring is such a pain sometimes.
I absolutely love a shirt dress too (especially white or blue or a striped combination of the two) but especially adore a midi-length version this season so definitely going to hunt down this one. Just love this whole look on you; so chic and classic!

My mom & I were just chatting about dresses just like this one the other day and how it had been SO long since we’d seen a shirtdress with a full skirt…well, now I know where to buy a new one!

This dress is gorgeous on you! I think the tough thing about shirtdresses is making sure they don’t make you look too dowdy. This one is definitely working for you!
