That is true...and some of the comments, hideous, ridiculous etc are just not necessary!!

Ahhh...the seersucker smock.....crinkly, striped, retro....

I saw this offering at midnight and my immediate thought was my grandmother wore a such a shapeless smock like this when she was 70 in 1967...we kids lived with her after my parents divorced....

She would wear one of these every day, a dfferent one....it's what old ladies wore then ...a housedress!!

She would cook,hang laundry, iron, clean all morning, and, at mid afternoon, moistened with a bit of perspiration and dishwater and needing a break on a rocker out on the porch on a hot summer day, would drink a glass of iced tea and reminisce about when she was a girl....already 60 years and another lifetime in the past....

Nope.

Too "old lady" for me....looks like an old lady "uniform"....or, with an apron,would look like a maid's uniform....a la "Hazel" from the sixties!!!...Or the maid on the Brady Bunch...!

Why, even Aunt Bee might be found in such a dress on a hot southern afternoon..,,,with pearls of course, as she beckons Andy and Opie to supper..."O Barney-! you come too !!!" as she pats her damp brow with a perfectly ironed hanky!!!!

If it IS real seersucker, it's probably nice and cool.....it was a nice fabric for hot days...!

I thought briefly of purchasing one....I hang laundry outdoors on a nice day ( l live in rural area....) and it might be fun to wear sans underwear while my neighbors ( one a single man, one a man who's wife NEVER appears outdoors, ever...they don't care for each other but I get along with both) are mowing thier lawns on a breezy day, and I'm reaching to hang those last few towels......

(I'm 67 and they're older than I ....so...I can dream, can't I? There's gotta be SOME reason I'm keeping myself in shape, although I'm beginning to wonder WHY....because now it's ME moistened with dishwater and sitting on that rocker on a warm day)...

The colors are nice, but that's it. Also it's too long on me. I wear dresses above the knee. I have nice knees. Don't mind showing them. Because I'm 5'3", it would end up too long. Even the petite. I thought of shortening the dress. But in the end didn't get.

Take time etc.

Let's be honest. Most of the people fussing about it aren't in the market for a casual dress anyway.

I think it's a cute dress. I'd add some fashion sneakers and a contrasting color jean jacket for a very nice outfit out & about at the farmer's market or running errands.

But I already have cute t-shirt dresses that fulfill that exact same wardrobe need. So I have no need for the TSV.

I've been thinking about 'seersucker' for a couple of months.

I've always liked this fabric. Very cool in warm Summers.

I like all of the color choices, and the length is 'just right' (for me), imo.

Can be worn with a thin belt in a contrasting or matching color.

Love it worn with Isaac's (and great stylist's) other style fashion ideas.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

Not for me. I don’t wear that sort of clothes.

I agree with those who don't really care for it. It is too short on most, too $$ and Leah doesn't seem comfortable in it. I love a summer dress but I'll stick with my cool maxi's, more my style. Oh and @beach-mom I did get the KG maxi in the Boho Tie dye, it was the only color left in M regular.......I love it!

@LindaSal - So glad you are happy! I think these dresses are perfect!
