Elyse Dense-Knit Dress: Choose this if you want a fitted, sleeveless midi knit with a defined waist and a fluid, pleated A-line skirt. Its thick, structured stretch knit (59% viscose, 40% nylon, 1% spandex) has a dense, smooth bodice, ribbed waist shaping, and tone-on-tone piping, in a warm medium brown Copper/Rust color offered in sizes X-Small through X-Large. Note it pulls on with no visible closures at the neckline, shoulders, or back in the views shown, so stepping into it is part of the design.[1,2,3]Vincent Puff-Sleeve Midi Dress: Choose this if you want a casual-chic black midi dress with elbow-length puff sleeves, a gathered banded crew neckline, and a straight, slightly A-line skirt with long side slits and hidden side-seam pockets. It is a button-front style in slightly stretchy cotton poplin (98% cotton, 2% spandex) that reviewers describe as lightweight and comfortable in hot weather, with most (19 of 24) saying it fits true to size. Note that sizing feedback is mixed—some say it runs big and some say small—and care is dry clean or cold hand wash.[4,5,6,7,8,9,10]Wells Poplin Dress: Choose this if you want a fitted, corset-style bodice with contoured seaming balanced by a full pleated midi skirt, in a crisp dark brown cotton-blend poplin (98% cotton, 2% spandex) with a 100% cotton lining, a concealed back zip, and a deep scoop back. Reviewers describe it as a flattering, cool and comfortable summer dress that works as a blank canvas for styling and layers under a blazer or cardigan in autumn, and it has reportedly been a best-seller for almost 5 years. Note that the bodice is rather fitted: some reviewers recommend sizing up if you are bigger chested, one could not zip it up over a bra, and one found it tight at the armholes.[11,12,13,14,15,16,17]
