I really like their stuff -- it appeals to my inner prepster. They have a couple black watch plaid dresses right now that are making me wish I had some dressier holiday parties as an excuse.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-hewi-plaid-shirtdress#post-1744227 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 21:52:53 +0000 DonnaF 1744227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great minds think alike!&nbsp; I'm waiting for the three relatively inexpensive dresses below to be marked down since they are more of a *want* than a *need*.&nbsp; I haven't seen them in person.&nbsp; I'm looking for a shirtdress long enough to be worn without tights, leggings, or pants if I so choose, so at least 34" or better yet, 36" long.&nbsp; Due to the aforementioned tendency to look like a nightshirt, I will be erring on the side of ordering smaller. . .Also, since they are from Nordstrom, I can get the sleeves shortened if need be.</p> <p>FWIW, the greenish solid Madewell shirtdress sleeves fit my short petite length arms just fine.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-hewi-plaid-shirtdress#post-1744136 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 17:31:29 +0000 catgirl 1744136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Saw several at Target the other day.&nbsp; Rails also has a really nice one, though pricey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-hewi-plaid-shirtdress#post-1744130 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 17:26:04 +0000 Greenjeans 1744130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I like this thread. &nbsp;I'll mention Brooks Brothers because I ordered a couple of things from their sale this fall and love the quality of them. &nbsp;Also, this one by Poetry Fashion, a wool/poly/viscose blend caught my eye because of its shape and drape. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-hewi-plaid-shirtdress#post-1744071 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 14:07:12 +0000 LaPed 1744071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, now I'm going to have to think about this. I haven't tried on this particular Pendleton dress, but I did try on a similar one at a local consignment shop. It was chambray blue wool and was a size too big, so I passed, but couldn't stop thinking about it, which is what started this hunt in the first place.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wonder if I'm not creating a "shirtdress" category in my mind when what I really want is that one Pendleton shirtdress.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm loving all these suggestions, though! Some of the Madewell options are especially tempting.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-hewi-plaid-shirtdress#post-1743682 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 12:54:06 +0000 JAileen 1743682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Pendleton one a lot. Yes, it's expensive, but it's probably very nice quality. I wonder how long it is. Have you seen it in person? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-hewi-plaid-shirtdress#post-1743625 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 07:28:01 +0000 approprio 1743625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Jen and minimalist said. I think I might be tempted to shop around for a vintage Pendleton, chop it in half and sew a strip of contrasting fabric around the middle to make it longer. Can you tell I'm obsessed with garment mods at the moment? I wonder why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-hewi-plaid-shirtdress#post-1743534 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 00:17:50 +0000 Alassë 1743534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you looked at eShakti's plaids? Just a thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-hewi-plaid-shirtdress#post-1743521 Sun, 23 Oct 2016 23:21:27 +0000 minimalist 1743521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What would your CPW work out to, on that Pendleton? Is it possible you would end up commiting to that specific shirtdress, if not committing to shirtdresses in general, enough to make it worthwhile? It looks like it might have a very high joy factor. (And I technically don't even care much for most plaid!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-hewi-plaid-shirtdress#post-1743411 Sun, 23 Oct 2016 18:12:56 +0000 crazyone 1743411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Madewell has a few, including the one Angie linked to. &nbsp;Generally their stuff is 100% cotton, at least in the flannels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-hewi-plaid-shirtdress#post-1743407 Sun, 23 Oct 2016 18:04:19 +0000 Inge 1743407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ASOS has quite a wide assortment, lots of viscose and rayon, but some cotton too.</p> <p>Here are some more: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-hewi-plaid-shirtdress#post-1743367 Sun, 23 Oct 2016 15:30:06 +0000 Jenn 1743367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, that one from Pendleton. It's hard to back down from that, but, oof, definitely a commitment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-hewi-plaid-shirtdress#post-1743362 Sun, 23 Oct 2016 15:25:58 +0000 Angie 1743362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a top pick and divine.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-hewi-plaid-shirtdress#post-1743353 Sun, 23 Oct 2016 15:04:49 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1743353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure if they are what you're looking for, but both Target and Old Navy have some. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-hewi-plaid-shirtdress#post-1743301 Sun, 23 Oct 2016 10:30:45 +0000 LaPed 1743301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I know from past experiences that shirtdresses are really hard to fit. There's a lot of not-quite-right out there. But I'd really like to find one to help me get some more mileage out of my fleece lined tights and leggings this winter. In hopes that someone can narrow my field a bit, has anyone found a great plaid or flannel shirtdress recently that's:</p> <p>1) long-sleeve<br />2) (mostly) cotton -- not viscose or poly<br />3) not chambray (plaid would be great, but solids and other prints are okay too)<br />4) not totally looks-like-a-nightshirt shapeless</p> <p>My top contender right now is the dark purple-y one from Athleta, which is selling out fast, and which I feel is overpriced but apparently the market does not agree with me! ;)</p> <p>The Gap/Pendleton and the Topshop are out because I've had such bad experiences with viscose and its (lack of) longevity. But I like the belts on both.</p> <p>Speaking of Pendleton, if I were more committed to shirtdresses, I would totally have this wool one for the winter, and I'd be all set:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pendleton-usa.com/product/Women/Clothing/DRESSES/CECILY-SHIRTDRESS/175336/sc/1710/c/2400/pc/1815.uts">http://www.pendleton-usa.com/p.....10/c/2400/</a></p> <p>Other options that I've somewhat eliminated:</p> <p>Love the colors of this Patagonia tunic, but I've seen it on others and it really does veer into nightshirt territory: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-heywood-flannel-dress/59080.html">http://www.patagonia.com/produ.....59080.html</a></p> <p>This Uniqlo option is nice but I think it's too long, possibly too much dress and not enough shirt, for what I want. It's got a bit of a prairie-schoolteacher vibe which I both love and don't love. May have to try it anyway, but I'd still be looking for a more tunic-y shirtdress too.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/women-idlf-flannel-check-long-sleeve-dress-181731COL68SMA005000.html?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=pla&amp;utm_campaign=Criteo-US-PLA&amp;gclid=CjwKEAjwv7HABRCSxfrjkJPnrWgSJAA45qA2A0fWUZow2WtHiEhPrJlA7mR2xgxxr5D0vIykPpKITRoC2Dfw_wcB">https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/w.....00.html?ut</a></p> <p>Suggestions? </p>
