It’s Sunday. You’ve overslept. You have to be at brunch in 20-minutes. Shower, sure. Makeup, maybe you can do it in the cab? What are you going to wear that’s cute enough that it can make it look like you put in effort? Do I have a dress for you.
This J.Crew Factory Printed Faux Wrap Dress ($50) is the cutest little dress for summer.
The style is absurdly flattering. Three of my friends own this dress, each of them with a different body type, and it looks good on all of them. The faux-wrap really defines the waist. The v-neck is a good depth. And the hem on the skirt is just a little bit flouncy.
The print is a cobalt and white on navy print called “bandana.” I don’t know why, it doesn’t look like any bandana I’ve ever seen.
For casual days, I add a black sandal and I’m done. For dates, I add a block-heel sandal and a couple of black, beaded bracelets.
Not crazy about the print? Factory has this same style of dress in chambray ($39). They also have a similar style in a lovely navy floral print and a red floral print.

Website comments suggest it’s a bit short. Are your friends comfortable with the length/are any in the 5’10” range?
Belle says:
Nope, no one that tall. I am 5’7″, and it’s a little below mid thigh.

Love the dress but I gotta say I’m team maxi! I try to find a maxi with an open back, or deep V, or bold color/print. Looks dramatic (and don’t need to shave legs LOL ) but so simple.

Ooo I like the print! I’m a big fan of faux wrap dresses! I always forget I have a J Crew Factory about an hour from me! Thanks for the inspiration!

I have this dress, and it is literally the most flattering thing I own. I’m 5’3″ and have an hourglass figure. Loved this dress so much I bought it another pattern.
