Singlet Dress

I love the Dorsu brand for it's ethics and sustainability. I also love this dress! It was the perfect piece to put over swimmers on my recent beach holiday. It's well made, the cut is very flattering and the material is soft and cool. Thank you Dorsu.

This was my favorite dress to wear during my summer pregnancy. The Jersey material is so comfy and the fit is perfect for my shorter frame. I even plan to wear this in winter as a layered look. I’d definitely get this in other colours if that becomes available. I think this would do great as a short sleeve crew neckline for a more modest top.

I love the simple shape of the Dorsu singlet dress. I was initially surprised at how thin the material is, which I find makes the dress very casual and suited to just day time wear, but now I love the thin/lightness of the dress as it’s perfect for layering. I can wear it multiple ways and it doesn’t get boring! A great investment for a more minimal wardrobe.

I bought this dress because I liked that it was long (close to a maxi) and I am tall, so I need one that covers my shins. It is so soft, a loose and relaxed fit. I can wear it at home and at church, casual and smart. It works for many situations. Plus the colour is an added bonus. Thank you Dorsu for making and selling the dress, thank you for making ethical fashion.

I'm roughly a size fourteen or sixteen (sometimes even a twelve), about 5'8, with a body type best described as a-brownie-you've-held-in-your-fist-and-slighty-squished. It can be hard to find things that fit Just Right. Something that fits my top half might be nnooowhere near fitting my bottom half, or vice versa, or the top and bottom'll be fine but the waist area will just look Wrong.......
Not so with this dress. To my dear fellow beautifully brownie-bodied humans, this is a Good Dress. Comfy, flattering, versatile (great for Just Chilling, Dancing, or Dressing Up and Feeling Fly). The fabric is so soft, but not in an overly delicate way where it feels like it could rip any second; more in a I-could-run-barefoot-through-a-magical-forest way. Spaghetti-strap type situations are usually an area of caution, as I'll often have to be hitching said straps back up onto my shoulders every twenty seconds, but I am pleased to report this is not the case with this dress: the body of the dress is breezily loose for flying away on the wind from the troubles of this world, but the straps are secure; not at all in a too-tight way, but in a never-worry-about-nipslips-again way. The hem isn't too long (for my height that is), but long enough that I feel like a demigod.
My one critique is less for my sake and more for others who have wider measurements than mine: I bought the X-large, thinking that just the Large would probably fit me fine but figuring better be safe than sorry, better a too-big fit that I could make tighter than a too-small fit that I could do nothing with. And I was right to size up; as I said the X-large fits me perfectly. But in terms of the body size spectrum I am hyper aware that I am very much in the median range; neither am I particularly slight nor am I particularly wide. Just smack-on average, middle-ground, brownie-bodied median (picture a roll of playdoh you've unevenly taken a rollingpin to: sort of a lumpy sexy rectangle). Very much wouldn't consider myself 'Extra Large', unless comparing myself to a row of Bratz dolls. So basically, Dorsu, c'mon man, not everyone's a Bratz doll. The sizing bus shouldn't stop at my body type/size; folks with the thicker strokes should get to experience the glory of this wonderful dress too.
