Every so often, Target will whip up a summer dress so perfect that it stops us — and seemingly, the rest of the internet — in our tracks. We just stumbled across one such example that has plus-sized reviewers singing its praises, and it’s racked up a 4.5 star rating and 29 mostly glowing testimonials from shoppers.
It’s cute enough for a daytime party, yet chill enough for the office. Pair it with heels to glam it up, slip on flats for a relaxed look, or go sporty with sneakers. This dress can handle it all. Want to keep it casual with no bling? Bet. Prefer statement jewelry? Even better! Plus, at $21, it won’t break the bank. Cue the Carlton happy dance.
Behold the Ava & Viv pleated midi shirtdress, available in four colors: a green pinstripe, a wider blue stripe, a classic white and goes-with-everything black. It is the moment, it is the season. This dress is everything you want. It’s comfy, cute, and versatile. Made from breathable cotton poplin with a cinched pleated front, it will take you from day to night without a hitch.
What’s to love? The details. The pointed collared neckline and button-down front give it the ideal balance of polished and laid back. The side pockets are divine because, yes, every dress should have them. The structured waist? It flatters and adds shape without being fussy.
