Even our panelist who hates spaghetti-strap dresses liked the Reformation Astrid dress, but it wrinkled immediately. 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. The Black Label by Evan-Picone Sleeveless Fit & Flare Dress is a simple-looking business-casual dress that didn’t stand out compared with the better-quality J.Crew Résumé Dress. We thought the ASOS Design Tall Soft Denim Tea Dress was also too juvenile, and the fit wasn’t true to size.

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.

A classic and delightfully soft cashmere dress

I wore each dress for an hour and paid attention to the quality, style, fit, and comfort. Then I took a picture of myself in each dress to compare the style and fit side by side. I also noted which dresses were dry-clean-only and which were machine-washable. I washed and dried the 16 machine-washable dresses and noted any color fading, frayed hems, or shrinking. This LBD’s slouchy turtleneck, long sleeves, and dual slits give it just the right amount of polish. It’s form-fitting enough to show your shape, but it’s not skin-tight.

I wanted to share one other chic black dress find that is nursing and bump-friendly, just note this runs a little roomy in the torso and shoulder area. It has similar softly puffed sleeves, and the torso is fully smocked making it very stretchy and nursing friendly as well.

Although this dress would kill both at happy hour and the witching hour, we think it’s professional enough to wear to the office, too. Our panelists unanimously agreed that the best way to style the Equipment is by dressing it up with a pair of your favorite leggings and tall boots. 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.

Sizes range from 00 to 24 in the regular cut, which we tested, and this dress also comes in petite and tall. We recommend trying it on in the store, if you can, or ordering a handful of sizes to find a perfect fit. 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.

We all identify as women, and our typical dress sizes and heights are 2/S, 5 feet 9 inches; 8/M, 5 feet 3 inches; 12/L, 5 feet 10 inches; and 14/XL, 5 feet 7 inches. This turtleneck dress features high-quality cashmere and a double-sided slit to modernize the look. The Naadam is currently on sale, so it’s a steal, but be aware that there are no returns. The Equipment dress has a straight fit, which keeps it casual, but the silk elevates the overall vibe. A straight fit may not sound especially flattering, but we found that the fabric draped so nicely it skimmed the body and moved with us, rather than hanging limply .
