I love that I can wear them to work, for family pictures, or dress them down for weekend wear. The pleats have held up great, and I never iron them. I machine wash on delicate (usually with the skirt folded in a delicates bag to enhance the pleating) and hang dry.
I know I’ve accidentally put it into the dryer many times and it still looks like new. I chose to size up even though I’m right on the border of sizes, and that works for me because I have wider hips and thighs. I didn’t want the waistband to be at all restrictive even though it’s nicely stretchy and the fabric has give .

I absolutely love this skirt. I love the fabric; it's breathable , it's comfortable, and it looks amazing on me. It hugs without being too tight.
Sometimes, skirts like this can be a little stiff up in the waist area, causing them to be so uncomfortable, but not this skirt. The fabric moves with you, making it so much more comfortable. And if you work in an office, and you have to wear suits and skirts all day long, that's a great find.

I love it!" — Josie "My favorite thing about this shirt is that it is fully lined . I have always found it hard to find a white shirt for work that is not see-through and this was perfect! There is not much stretch at all, but it fits TTS. Great length in the back, too.

Promising reviews : "I bought this shirt for a conference and it is such a staple piece I never knew I needed.
I have larger arms, so I sized up from an L to an XL, and although the shirt is oversized, it fit comfortably and didn’t cling to my body, but it was still very form-fitting. The material is light and thin, but it is extremely opaque and didn’t make me feel hot in 90-degree weather. It is wonderful for dressing up or down depending on the outfit.
" — furfante "This shirt is a treat for the eyes. A vibrant print with colors of the desert . Wonderful smooth-finish fabric that's just right — not too heavy and not too light.
The sleeves are full and roomy. They were a bit too long for me, but I just folded the cuff over once and that works fine. Shirt length is perfect, but would also look great with a nice belt.
In Texas, I'll be able to wear it year-round, just throwing on a jacket in the winter. Looks like you spent way more $$$." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $27.

I wanted something sleeveless to wear with blazers. I love the cut, love the look — quality material. Pleasantly surprised.
" — Lynn Hachey "Okay this is so good. I had the Zara bodysuit identical to this but it quickly got stretched out so I tried this one out. It is 10 times better than that one.
The fit is perfect, it hugs you just right and is supportive enough that I won’t wear a bra. Also, not see-through at all! Amazing. Need in all the colors.
" — Dawn E. Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 29 colors).

99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 25 colors). 30. A detachable shirt collar to instantly elevate that sweater you don't know how to style and have you feeling super chic when you walk out the door.
Because it doesn't have actual sleeves (or anything below the first few buttons), it also doesn't give you that lumpy, uncomfortable feeling of wearing layered shirts (it's too warm out now for that anyway). Promising review : "Must-have life hack! I saw someone get this off of TikTok and I totally loved it. It does exactly what you’d want it to do.
The shirt can unbutton if you need it to, it’s super easy to put on. I love that it gives the illusion I have a collared shirt under without the hassle of wearing an actual collared shirt!!" — Danny Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in three colors and with a round or pointed collar).
31. A stretchy cotton flared colorblock sundress that sneakily looks like a skirt-and-top combo, but it's actually one comfortable piece that won't shift around or dig into your waist. Promising review: "This dress is perfect for work, casual events, etc.
I absolutely love it, and it’s really comfy. The material is soft and not too heavy, but heavy enough. I reside in Arizona, and it’s perfect for the summer! A lot of people confused it for a skirt, so I think of it as two outfits in one.
I wear a size medium in women’s shirts and blouses, so I ordered a medium, which fit perfectly everywhere." — robert griffiths Get it from Amazon for $31.90+ (available in sizes S–XL and 12 colors/patterns).
