Grana Review Poplin Drop Shoulder Shirt Dress

IMG_2616-min.JPG

This has been the summer of finding great striped shirt dresses.  First Everlane came out with my all time favorite shirt dress, the Cotton Collarless Belted Shirt Dress (reviewed here).  And now Grana has come out with a new poplin shirt dress, which I also really love (and is their best shirt dress ever produced IMHO).  I know in some places it's quite late in the season to be talking about poplin, but I'm behind on my reviews so please excuse the less than ideal timing.  Anyway may I present to you Grana's poplin drop shoulder shirt dress!

{Wearing: Grana poplin drop shoulder shirt dress, M.Gemi The Docente, and Hermes Lindy 30 (similar here)}

I'm wearing a small here and it fits perfectly.  I like the sleeve length but prefer to it roll up.  I also love that the back is longer than the front, to make the dress a bit more interesting.  The dress hangs away from the body so it's great for hotter temperatures.  The cotton material is soft and on the thin side (much thinner than the Everlane dress mentioned above).  The thin cotton material does wrinkle easily though, but it's not too noticeably because of the striped pattern.  

This dress reminds me of Everlane's cotton poplin shirt dress (reviewed here) and I'm wondering if Grana might be taking some styling cues from Everlane.  I have to say Grana's styles have improved in general.  Anyway if you're interested, you can get 10% off you first purchase with this link here and you can find all my other Grana reviews here.
