Old Navy Cami Maxi Swing Dress I Editor Review
As one be a bride, I’m slowly but surely adding more white to my wardrobe. But as someone who is prone to spills and stains, I have to be careful about how much I spend on said shadows. I can’t buy a $200 dress just to destroy it with a glass of wine or waterproof makeup. I’m no stranger to the stores of brands like Old Navy, and it’s always been my mission to find trendy yet trendy pieces to elevate my wardrobe – and yours. .
My latest and greatest discoveries: Cami Maxi Swing Dress ($42, original $45, plus 30 percent off with code HURRY). It boasts a flowing A-line shape that looks equal on parts with ease and elegance, making it easy to pair with heels or slip-ons with flats. In pursuit of an engagement photography dress, I opted for it in Calla Lily White. Instead of going with my usual medium size, I opted for the small in the hope that it would fit snugly around the waist. This is a risk, but personally I prefer a loose fit over a loose one.
The dress that arrived on my doorstep looked rather wrinkled (which isn’t entirely surprising, since it’s made of 100% cotton), so I had to spend some time ironing it before I could put it on. Once that was done, I adjusted the shoulder straps so that the front and back of the dress landed where I wanted, then Final Give the silhouette a good look in the mirror. Verdict: it was lovely and was exactly what I was hoping for in terms of how it hugged my body.
I’m also pleased that this dress isn’t see-through – just like that. I have a feeling it won’t be, as the product description says it’s fully lined, but you never know for sure until you try it on. That, combined with the fact that it has the bag (the worms!), making this an extremely solid candidate for your summer wardrobe.
I love this dress so much, I still haven’t decided if it’s *the* for me engagement shoot. But if it doesn’t, I’m optimistic it’ll show up a few times this summer, assuming I didn’t accidentally destroy it with vino earlier. If you’re also prone to messy situations, a classic Camel color might be a safer choice. I can take it as a backup – just in case.
