I admit it: I’m obsessed with bodycon-dress. There’s just something about a number that hugs the curve that makes me feel most confident, and for that reason, I can never have too much. In pursuit of practically every style and color under the sun, I recently came across Old Navy sleeveless knit midi dress ($40) and know I need it in my closet, statistics. Up front, find my honest review of the perfect summer silhouette.
What I like about this dress
Um, everything? First of all, this dress has some serious stretch marks. Instead of struggling to put it on from above, I was able to step in and pull it up quickly and easily. And the fit? Only as I had hoped. I ordered my regular sized medium, and it hugged my curves without feeling like it was sucking in to my body. It’s light and comfortable – therefore really comfortable that I was able to take a midday nap in there (and I might find myself doing it again in the future, TBH). In the end, it gives me 90s vibes in the best way, and the side slit is a nice touch.
What occasions is this outfit suitable for?
This dress can be easily worn up or down with accessories, maybe a pair trendy sports shoes and a denim coat or designer jewelry and high heels. This summer, I can see myself wearing it in so many different ways. Since it’s as comfortable as pajamas, I’ll probably wear it often to work from home, but I also think it’ll come in handy for date nights and fun hours with friends.
What’s worth noting about this dress
Although this dress is mostly rated five stars, there are some lower ratings from shoppers who have described it as “see-through”. In my experience, the fuchsia design (called Cosmic Rouge) does not. I was able to wear a neutral strapless bra and pair it with seamless panties underneath without being able to see them. It didn’t hide my body’s natural lumps and bumps, but I didn’t expect it – it’s from BodLove Collectionafterall!
Second, be aware that there is only one side slot. I initially thought there was one on each side, but after checking the product description, I realized it clearly only has one on the left bezel.
Would I recommend this dress?
Right! I really I wanted to buy this dress in a different color, but I refused simply because my collection was going out of fashion. But I definitely had my eye on the beautiful teal color dubbed the Mediterranean Sea.
