Flared Sleeve Short Dress

I rediscovered a dress I already owned in shades I have been craving all spring.

Lately I have been coveting a Sue Sartor dress. Preferably in lemon yellow or the freshest hue of green. At around three hundred dollars a pop, the price has been holding me back. And do I really need a new dress?

Clearly I do not as I rediscovered a block print dress already in my closet in the very colors I have been craving. I was thrilled when I slipped it on and found that it fit, albeit the hemline was rather short. Nevertheless hot days in the city call for minidresses, I don’t make the rules!

Juliet Dunn employs a sizing system consisting of one, two, three, and four. While I struggle to fit my bust in the size three of the iconic tie shoulder button front sundresses, the size two of the flare sleeve dress fits!

Juliet Dunn is one of my summertime staple brands, having uncovered the resort label during the first summer of the pandemic. The brand is not necessarily known for said slip, rather the dresses are the hero items. I only discovered the slip after digging around on the website looking at new arrivals of the sundress variety. It checks in at 58 dollars which is relatively inexpensive, especially at the frequency at which I wear it. Ever so frequently. As I have owned this for four years and worn it a solid twenty times, the price per wear has been driven to less than three dollars per wear.

I wash the slip in cold water and drape it on a line to dry. It dries quickly, always overnight. Don’t you just love a low maintenance upkeep piece of clothing?
