I’ve worn this dress several times since I bought it because it’s so easy to wear and very comfortable. I have to say that most of Madewell’s dresses lately have been quite short, but this one is just right. I appreciate it when brands carry tall sizes in dresses especially (Gap, Banana Republic and J.Crew do online!) Though this one is not a tall style, it’s longer than usual.
I don’t know how well this more fall-ish fabric will fare as temperatures continue to rise, but I might as well get my last wears out of it before the sun and blazing heat become an everyday reality.

Speaking of dresses—these ones just arrived from Banana Republic. I purchased them during their 40% off promo last week. I may keep the striped one but I was a little bit “eh” about the white one. It does look nice in photos but in person it didn’t look or feel as special as it looked online. I was sure it would be a winner but I think I will return it. I really like the half sleeves on the striped dress, I don’t think I own anything like it and I think it would look really cute with flats too.
What do you think?
All of those dresses look great in your pics — I loooove the striped one. I say return the eyelet if you're not digging it completely in person.
The Madewell dress looks amazing!
Oh I actually love the eyelet one!
We have similar taste in dresses and I love your outfit posts! I'm in love with the striped dress! it looks perfect on you. But I also love the white one, it looks great on your pictures. But that kind of waist on dresses can be tricky, so if you don't feel great in it, you should return it.
That striped dress is everything, love it!!

I like the eyelet dress better than the striped.
I have been into dresses this year more than ever; they are just so easy! That madewell one looks great on you, and I can see why it's a favorite. I think the white eyelet dress looks gorgeous in your pics, but like you mentioned, if you don't love it in person then return it!
I love them ALL! I think the Madewell dress is my favorite!
I think I like the striped dress better, too. It seems to be a different silhouette than what you usually wear, which is a nice change. It will also be easy to wear in the summer dressed down with sandals and a long necklace but still looks put together.
The first dress is such a great classic piece and I love that fabric. I really like the striped dress too, very summery. I LOVE the shape of the third dress but the material seems a bit odd- maybe if it were more of a eyelet…
I'm really glad you're back to doing fashion posts regularly again! Harper is cute and all, but I come to this blog for the fashion posts. Hope you keep it up!

I like the white one and the Madewell one!

I think all the first and third are amazing. First one is a classic & the third is very kate middleton, plus it hits you at the right places and its a nice fit. the second one is pretty but it looks like its a heavy material and with summer coming I would melt just looking at it.
I love the striped one! I'm thinking about ordering it now.
love the dresses!
the striped one is my favourite

Agree- I like the striped dress. It's a classic shape in a fun, bold print and I really like that it has a true short sleeve (sick of cap sleeves!) The white dress is underwhelming all around.
