The Find: Gauze Dresses for Summer

May 24, 2022

Despite our wet, chilly spring, I am anticipating a hot summer.  And since I’m going to be very pregnant, I’m looking for light, breathable fabrics.  Enter gauze.  That’s right gauze, the crinkly, breezy fabric that is the perfect alternative to linen for those of us who want to minimize our exposure to wrinkles.

This dress from Gap was one of the first to catch my eye. It’s 100% cotton, and comes in three colors (black, a sheer-ish white, and a bright purple)  I like it because it could be beachy or worn to work on casual Friday depending on the styling.

For work, I’d break out a stronger belt and an open toe flat.  For the beach, I’d lose the belt entirely, grab a braided sandal and a straw hat and roll up the sleeve.

Other gauze dresses that caught my eye include this red Michael Stars dress, this <$50 jade-colored shirtdress, and this Monrow dress is summer time perfection in cream or orange.

Plus-size?  This gauze dress from J.Crew and this Madewell dress in a wonderful green-grey are worth a look.  Pregnant?  Try this Ingrid and Isabel dress.

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.

The Mondays: March 18, 2024

This weekend was a tricky one. The warm weather and bright sunshine of last weekend disappeared in a flurry of wet snow trapping our very active 18-month-old in the house with us. Plus, our babysitter cancelled, so neither of us feels ready for the week ahead. But in between making mac-and-cheese and watching Aristocats for […]
