Recycled Cotton Jersey T-Shirt Dress

About this find

This T-shirt dress is made from a heavyweight jersey knit of 70% organic cotton and 30% recycled cotton. The fit is relaxed and straight, and it runs slightly oversized, so the shape falls loosely rather than clinging. Short sleeves and a ribbed neckline frame the top, and a chest pocket sits on the front of the dress.

A small slit at the back hem gives you room to move when you walk or climb stairs. The dress is garment-dyed, which creates subtle color variation, so each piece is one of a kind and yours may look a little different from the next. The soft feel is meant to relax and improve over time.

It measures 53¼ inches in length, which makes it a full dress rather than a long top. The model is 5'9.5" and wears a size Small, which helps you picture the drape on a taller frame. If you like a closer fit, size down. A belt at the waist can add shape on days you want a more defined look.

To care for it, turn the dress inside out and machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low, and take it out promptly. If it needs a press, use a cool iron.
