“It’s much easier to get something taken in than taken out,” noted Sturino. The A-line silhouette and midi length were flattering on our testers who wore sizes 2, 8, and 12. And the stretchy, gathered waist and flowy skirt make this dress forgiving for anyone who wants to hide their tummy. The design features exposed shoulders, which means that regular bra straps may show. If you don’t want to skip a bra altogether, our testers found that the flowy pleats on the bodice hid the lines of a strapless bra just fine . We tested three cashmere sweater dresses, and the Naadam was the most luxurious of the bunch.

It comes in sizes 2XS to 2XL , and the XL (12/14) was too tight in the hips for our tester who usually wears a size 12. But it was just the hips that felt too tight—the fit at the bust felt true to size, so we don’t advise sizing up, unless you like an oversized look. For a silk dress that may fit more-bottom-heavy body types better, opt for the Joie Leonore Silk Dress, from our notable competitors section. For casual gatherings, choose a black shirt dress with long sleeves that can be rolled up and buttoned at the elbow with a tab. This dress may have buttons that run down the entire front or can have a partially buttoned bodice with a zippered closure.
The Résumé is of a higher quality than many of the other business-casual dresses we wore. We liked its strong, even stitching and reinforced waist, which doesn’t feel like it will stretch with wear. Nearly a quarter of the dresses we tested weren’t lined at all. The Résumé is made of a wool-elastane blend that was soft and more comfortable than some other wool dresses we tried, such as the scratchier COS Knitted A-Line Merino Wool Dress. And the fabric has just the right amount of give, so it’ll still fit if you gain a few pounds. We’ll test the fabric’s durability over many wears and report back on that.

The COS Drawstring Mulberry Silk Dress featured a thick, textured cotton front with a silk back skirt—a combination that our testers hated. The silk quality was also poor—almost raw or scratchy—and wrinkled too easily for a piece you’d be sitting on throughout the day. We thought the ASOS Design Tall Soft Denim Tea Dress was also too juvenile, and the fit wasn’t true to size. I also compared our 14 finalists against the US Department of Labor’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs’s List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor database. And we couldn’t independently confirm where most of these brands source their fabrics because they either don’t publicize that information or gave us vague responses when asked.

We thought this dress’ cashmere was also of a higher quality. Cut refers to the shape of a dress, such as A-line, empire waist, or sheath. Stylists have long advised people to select dresses that are best cut for their “body type,” but we don’t believe in that logic—any dress that makes you feel dazzling is the right cut. The Rita comes in a wider range of sizes than our other picks and most of our dismissals, too.1 This dress is sold in sizes 00 to 40, which Universal Standard calls 4XS to 4XL. Pay close attention when you order—by the company’s size chart, our size-2 tester is a 3XS, and our size-14 tester is a S. Most other dresses we tested come in just about a dozen sizes, usually ranging from 00 to 12 or 0 to 14.
