Everlane Linen Dolman Tee Dress Review {updated June 2017}

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner guys!  I have finally found a dress from Everlane that I 100% love!  So far I have been a big fan of Everlane's tees, some of their shoes and their anorak.  And now I can add this linen dress to the list.  I got this dress in a size small (for reference I'm 5'4" and usually wear 4-6 in most clothing lines).  This is the ideal summer dress in that the fabric is super light without being sheer.  Linen really is suited for those 80 degree temps in the summer.  I love that the dress doesn't cling and the overall length is perfect (except try not to raise both arms straight up in the sky because you would definitely be flashing some underwear).  So other than doing the wave at a stadium, this is perfect do-anything, dress-up or dress-down dress.  And even though I love the dress in solid colors too I think stripes are the best.

It was ever so slightly scratchy when I first put it on, but softens with washing.  And take care not to put in the dryer but hang dry it (that's what the washing label says).

And here I am styling it with my Cuyana summer hatNisolo slides (review coming soon), and Mansur Gavriel mini lady bag.  As usual reviews are done on items I've purchased for myself and are not sponsored.  Check out my other Everlane reviews here and Everlane's items (referral link, thanks again guys for your support!).  

{June 2017 update: So I've had this dress for about a year now and I've been super careful not to put it in the dryer, so I'm puzzled that when I brought it out to wear again this season this dress is about 2 inches shorter than what I remember (and from what I can tell from these pictures).  So I must have dried it in the dryer at least once.  But anyway the point is that this dress has definetly shrunk and it also did not keep it's shape.  I'm not sure if this is a good buy after all...}
