Mom dresses at LE?

[WatchingThemGrow]

I felt so put together a couple pregnancies back when I spent the summer in 4 t-shirt dresses and cute sandals. Wanna recreate that feeling (minus the pregnant part!)

The boden crinkle dress is on the way to me, but I'm wondering about some of these:

Anyone tried these or know of anything similar w/some little sleeves, a skirt/bottom that doesn't stick on a big gut, and maybe in a solid color/colorblock?

I just ordered both #1 and #2 from LE and didn't like them. The fit of #1 was all wrong on me - it seemed to have this flounce at the waist which made my hips look huge, and the neck was too wide, so my shouders looked really broad. I am 5'0", so you can imagine why that didn't work for me.
#2 looked like I was wearing a cotton bathrobe.
I haven't tried #3
I am so disappointed because I was hoping they would be perfect summer dresses, eady to wear and looking casually elegant. No such luck. I'm still looking - maybe I'll try Boden.
If your body shape and height is different, you may have better luck with them.

I have two of these--they fit well and are comfortable. The fabric is a little thinner than I'd like but overall they are pretty good. Pricier than the LE ones.

You might look at the LE Canvas dresses too--they look good.

Thank you both for your input. I'm 5'9 and 120lbs, NOT. Maybe I should just try them on, even if nothing from LE has ever fit me just right! I'm 5'6 and 140ish, why wouldn't they make things for my average size?

The Athleta one looks interesting, but the chest area looks a little bit flirtatious, and I was hoping to be able to wear them to church sometimes too. PLUS, I don't stand up as straight as Athleta models or have the same body fat percentage, lol.

The Loft choices all seem to short to be bending over at the playground. Hmmm..

I have a couple of dresses similar to the LE #3 dress you linked. I love wearing them in the summer because they hide a lot of flaws, LOL. The *only* thing I've had issue with is that I've found the backside tends to stretch out if you've done a lot of sitting (or like driving around in a car). Even though the dresses are different types of material, they all do the same thing so I think it has to do with the style. By the end of the day I sometimes feel like I've got a bubble butt effect going on. :( But, I admittedly have a rounded backside...someone with a flatter derrière probably wouldn't have the same problem. ;)

If you have a Nordstrom Rack nearby you should check there. I found a bunch of great Max Studio dresses in flowy knit with a few styles. They are $39.97 regularly and I got a few on clearance (patterns) for $16. They seemed to have a bunch of different solid colors last week.

Love the second one you posted. That's a great length, I think. Really cute!
