FAQ

The dress

Do the pockets actually hold a phone?

Yes — that’s the whole point. The pockets are sewn into fitted shorts underneath the dress, so weight hangs from your hips, not the fabric. Your phone, keys, and cards ride secure while you bend, squat, and chase. You reach them through a discreet opening at the side of the dress — no lifting your skirt.

What’s the fabric like?

A buttery-soft stretch knit — substantial enough to skim rather than cling, soft enough to wear all day. Machine wash cold, tumble dry low, zero special care.

Are the built-in shorts hot in summer?

They’re lightweight and breathable — think slip-short, not bike short. Most mommas say they forget they’re there (until they need the pockets, or the coverage at the playground).

Can I wear it to work? A wedding? Errands?

All three. The solid navy restyles endlessly — sneakers for errands, flats for the office, heels and earrings for date night, cardigan for cold conference rooms.

Sizing

What size should I get?

Check the Size Guide for exact garment measurements. General rule: between sizes, size down for fitted, stay true for relaxed.
