Everlane Twill Shirt Dress Review

When the Everlane Twill Shirt Dress came out (months ago now) I was super excited to try it out since it finally looked like Everlane made a dress that would work with my short legs.  And well, I really liked how it looked from the front but for some reason it kind of poofed in the back in a weird way (you can see what I mean in the picture on the right--or is it just me overthinking this?).

Anyway I ordered a size 2, my usual, and liked the loose fit.  This dress also comes with pockets (always uber important if not always functional).  The twill material is super thick and this is probably why it doesn't quite hang well in the back.  The model in the Everlane pic doesn't seem to have this problem so maybe it's the fact that I have a big butt (but it's not that big contrary to what the photo looks like lol).  The thick twill material is also not the best for those who live in a really hot summer climate.  Also the twill picks up a lot of lint.  I really like the style, so I think if they just made it in another material it would look and feel better.  Oh, and a word of warning, the side slits come up pretty high and you definitely don't want to be raising both arms in this dress or you'll end up flashing someone your undies.

The rest of my Everlane reviews can be found here.

P.S. What do you think of my new rag & bone shoes?  I'm in love with these slides/bedroom slippers!
