Perfect Summer Dress

April 11, 2008 · Online Shops/Sites

My eyes kinda fell out of my head when I saw this jersey dress from Stewart + Brown...I mean, it looks like many of my girls' dresses (like her, or her) because it has a peter-pan collar, but dropped down from high on the neck.

This (to me) makes it more grown-up and enticing, and hey! It's jersey. My favorite fabric for a dress (excepting maybe silk). I've got to admit that this dress is already mine...it came in the post about a week ago. While a bit on the pricey side for a jersey dress, it is so beautifully made and the organic cotton is soft as a kitten.

Perfect, perfect.
I'm already projecting it will attain wear-once-a-week status in the impending warm months.

I love this dress, but don't see it anywhere on their site!

De-lurking to say that you always find the best dresses!

I need to own the banded kimono dress from them. And the back tie dress, and the seamed shell. And there's a store that carries them in Calgary!!

Looks great. Made me want to get it the way you describe it.

I must say that I would probably wear that
once a week too. Or stare at it and try it on
all of the time.

I'm such a fan of red dresses...never mind ones with dropped collars...and made of organic cotton...Face it Emily, you just hit the jackpot! :)

That's the hot look right now - the almost 50s style is SOOOO hot!

ooh this is one of my 'uniform' dresses. I live in the modal/super soft jersey dresses. I've been making them lately which only feeds my addiction, I think the only thing that would make this one better is puffy sleeves with a band around the arm. But this is lovely and one of my favorite colors
