| Dark Checkers Shirtdress: Choose this if you want a long-sleeve, button-front midi shirtdress in a dark plaid with a preppy-inspired look that Simons describes as sophisticated. It offers a loose trapezoid cut with fitted bodice seams and sculpting inserts that Simons says hug the body while keeping a flowy drape, plus a point collar, buttoned cuffs, side-seam pockets, and a flared A-line skirt in a 55% cotton, 45% modal blend. It is listed in sizes 6 through 16 in the Checks color, with the size 6 measuring about 51.25 inches from the top of the shoulder, and image analysis shows the hem reaching mid-calf.[1,2,3] | Striped Poplin Shirtdress: Choose this if you want a fitted-bodice, fit-and-flare cotton shirtdress with an adjustable self-tie waist, full A-line midi skirt, and functional details like a full button front and side-seam pockets. It suits shoppers drawn to a light blue pinstriped pastel poplin look that is machine washable and tumble-dryable. Note that the polished, figure-flattering fit is the brand's stated design intent rather than a reported wearer outcome, and the roughly 51.25 inch (130 cm) length and mid-calf hem are shown on the model, so how it falls on you may differ.[4,5,6,7,8] |
