The Find: The T-shirt Dress You Need

Mar 22, 2023

Occasionally I post an item to this blog and then find myself thinking about it for days.  Do I really need it?  How often will I wear it?  Will it sell out while I think about it?  Should I wait for a sale?

This Tie Side T-Shirt Dress from Boden is such a dress.

Chic enough for a casual Friday but relaxed enough for a day at the park, it was a must purchase.  In two colors.  Because, of course, I needed both the black and the red.

The other great thing about this dress is that the side tie and the accompanying ruching will flatter those of us who have a thicker middle section.  A little definition in the waist never hurt anyone.  And I’m always happy to see a sleeve, more summer dresses should have them.

If you have other great casual dresses you’ve spotted, leave them in the comments.

    This dress looks great. Three questions (since you have held one in your hands and I can’t tell the answers from the images or description):

    1. Is there a seam between the top half of the dress and the bottom half of the dress on the back? Asking because I need a dress without such a seam.

    2. Is it pull on over the head?

    3. How poofy are the princess shoulders? Would it look weird on Zoom for office meetings?

    Thanks!

      I just bought this dress and wore it to work yesterday – I got so many compliments on it. It’s a great, versatile dress.

      1 – I don’t think so, but I don’t remember perfectly.
      2 – Yes, pull over
      3 – Just a slight poof – I actually think it’s the perfect amount of poof for zoom because that helps it look like it isn’t just a basic tshirt.

    I am grateful for your insight after buying this dress as I am surprised by some of the terrible reviews compared to what you have stated.

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.
