Cotton Gauze Short-Sleeve Avery Dress

About this find

Made from 100% cotton, the Avery Dress is a short-sleeve style cut from a lightweight, breathable fabric with a supersoft crinkle texture. That gauzy texture gives the cotton a relaxed, lived-in look, and the light weight suits spring and summer days when you want something airy on your shoulders.

Four front pockets give you a spot for a phone, keys, or a lip balm, so you can leave the bag at home on short outings. An adjustable belt lets you choose how much shape you want at the waist, whether you cinch it snug or wear it looser. Up top, a band collar adds a neat, tailored touch to the open, crinkled fabric.

For a fresh daytime look, try it with flat sandals and let the belt do the work of defining your shape. This dress is imported, and the model shown is 5'9" and wearing a size 2, which gives you a helpful point of reference when you are picking your size.

Because the fabric is a light cotton gauze with natural texture, it has a soft, rumpled character that fits right in with warm weather plans like weekend lunches, garden visits, and travel days. The pockets, belt, and collar give it a little extra detail without making it feel dressed up too much.
