10 Ways to Wear a T-Shirt Dress

10 Ways to Wear a Classic T-Shirt Dress

My fav tee turned into a dress? Yes please!

In early January, I had the sneak peek privilege of seeing some of ABLE's new releases planned for spring. This t-shirt dress was at the top of my must try list because it's the same cut and fabric as my favorite cropped striped tee - the Maria Boxy Tee.


I love the new bolder brown stripe and the almost vintage soft and warm hue this dress has. It also comes in a versatile solid black. The fabric is just as thick and buttery soft as the t-shirt version. In most t-shirt dresses, the fabric is a little on the thin side and makes me feel a bit revealed in back. So I love that this dress is a long midi length with a thick quality 100% cotton that provides all the coverage I want with no slip required.


Sizing on the dress runs a bit bigger than the tee shirt version. I went with my regular size and have plenty of room. So If you are a straight fit or want a more curve hugging fit, I'd recommend sizing down. A friend asked me if this might work as a baby bump friendly dress, and with the extra loose room and subtle stretch it offers, I definitely think it would be adorable as a maternity piece for most if not all of your pregnancy.


The Maria Midi T-Shirt Dress is available now at Able!

//Moto Jacket - TTS or go with your bigger size for slightly looser longer fit // Cotton Sweater - TTS // Dress  // Similar Straw Bag or Here // Sandals // Herringbone Chain // Coin Necklace - code: ALEX10 //  Huggie Hoops - code: ALEX10 //

// Oversized Jean Jacket  - go with your regular size // Straw Tote - code: ALEX15 // Belt - code: ALEXDAVIESLIVING20 (My color is currently sold out) // Herringbone Chain // Coin Necklace - code: ALEX10 //  Huggie Hoops - code: ALEX10 // Sandals //

Jean Jackets and dresses have definitely been done. They pair might feel a bit dated, so to keep it fresh and modernize the pairing here are some tips:

  • Belt the dress under the jacket - this is a great option for a t-shirt dress to create shape where there isn't a defined waist.
  • Button the first two buttons of the jacket collar and layer with a couple of bling statement necklaces.
  • Opt for a more trendy oversized denim jacket or a loose denim shirt.
