Like many of us, I have gained weight during COVID.  Since I was already at a higher than usual weight pre-COVID, I am now the heaviest I have ever been.  Accepting this change in my body, and offering up some grace to the body that carried me through a pandemic in one piece, has been tough.

And as we begin to emerge from the pandemic quarantine, I find myself uncomfortable wearing the types of clothing I wore pre-pandemic.  Going to work in suits and sheath dresses was both a nice bit of normalcy and a bit torturous.  So as I look toward my summer attire (yay! work from home), I want pieces that are comfortable, flattering, and fun.

This dress from LOFT is all three.

I mean, how bright and cheery is LOFT’s Triple Cloth Dress?  The crinkled fabric is perfect for lounging or travel (if we get there this summer).  The cut is really forgiving and flattering.  It’s just a swingy, flirty frock.

Oh, and did I forget to mention it has pockets?

My one purchasing note is that the cut is loose enough that I would recommend sizing down.  I bought my true size at first and it was a bit shapeless.  One size down gave me a more defined waist area and a look that was playful instead of baggy.

Sadly, LOFT does not make this same dress in plus-sizes.  I did find this Foxcroft No-Iron Linen dress in the same pretty guava shade and this darker linen-blend, tiered dress from Lane Bryant.
