Have you seen any cute shirtdresses?

[kozachka]

I'd love to get one. Fitted (at least on top), not too expensive. Possibly black or light beige. Need to be able to buy it online. Any idea where I can get such a dress? Look forward to reading your advice.

The eyelet paired with the bow may be a little much, but it is still pretty cute from Banana Republic:

Are you looking for a more simple shirtdress?

Thanks, Ceepa. It's cute but not quite what I had in mind. Somehow I can't see myself wearing a black eyelet shirtdress. These three words just don't mix in my head. Black shirtdress would be fine. Or a white eyelet dress but not a black eyelet shirtdress.

I saw two or three women wearing shirtdresses recently and now crave one for myself. Something very simple.

ETA: Your post prompted me to also check Banana Republic (you linked to ATL) and I did not like their take on a shirtdress either :( because of crochet-buttons and full skirt.

I saw some at Target about a month ago, but now can't find them on their site. Maybe they'll come back?

If it didn't have to be online I would suggest H&M. I have no idea why they don't have an online store- it is very annoying to have to drive to their farther away store for ds' clothes as the close one doesn't have it (and they won't order stuff in for me!). But, H&M has some good ones.

I searched "shirt dress" on Nordstrom and this is what they pulled up. Lots of choices, I wasn't sure what your budget was (everyone has a dif't definition of "not too expensive" :)).

You can sort them by price.

Gap has this:

Yeah, there's a lot going on with that shirtdress. lol. I like the Nordstrom site Beth posted and here's another one from the Dillards site (but there is still a lot going on with the arm sleeve details and the oversized buttons).

Who would have thought a basic shirtdress would take an effort to find??

SJP's new "Bitten" clothing line was featured on Oprah on Friday. Everything $20 or less. Her collection includes a basic black shirtdress.

Unsure what online availability will be

I just saw a really cute, simple black shirtdress at the banana republic outlet store. It didn't look like it was just for the outlet. No crochet, just black twill fabric with a belt.

I got a Land's End catalog last night and thought about this thread. They had several that seemed like the kind of thing you're looking for.

Try Lizclaiborne.com I saw a few in their sale and there is an extra 30% off (Code: LIZMEM30).

They had a segment on the today show recently, where they showed a cute one from gap.com for about $80, I think. HTH!

If you're still looking, this is a great deal (all sales final) ....
