Yesterday, I found a new dress at the Gap.
I’m quite fond of this dress. So fond, in fact, that my initial thought while trying it on was that I NEEDED TO TELL THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS DRESS. Now, we could over-analyze why that would be my very first thought (hint: slight internet addiction), but let’s not put a damper on this party.
After returning home, I swiftly visited gap.com only to find that the dress was not there! OH NO! How would the internet learn of this special dress? I know! I’ll force D to take photos of the dress in an amateur attempt to emulate one of my favorite blogs, Cupcakes and Cashmere!
(Note to self: You do not possess Emily’s lithe legs. Please do not EVER attempt a tulip skirt.)
Whatevs. This dress is going to be my perfect go-to dress for the summer. Lightweight, comfortable and featuring POCKETS. Pockets make me weep with joy. (I even put my hand in the pocket for the photo which really did nothing but add 20 visual inches to my hips. Fail.) And although I’m wearing heels in the photo, I think gold Dolce Vita flat sandals will be my first choice. Did I mention the skirt is so billowy and voluminous that you could hide a bottle of vodka underneath for playdates?
Wait! I haven’t told you about the best part. Take a gander.
The racerback, folks. The perfect little detail.
I think my work here is done. Go buy the dress. (But don’t wear it around my neighborhood.)

June 7, 2009 at 1:09 pmVery cute, however, I would actually like to know where your darling shoes came from….I have a pair that are very similar, but are beginning to wear out and I can’t find a new pair to save my life!

June 8, 2009 at 7:14 pmI actually went to The Gap after I read this to buy the dress, but it had silk in it, and I’m vegetarian, so I can’t wear silk. SO SAD.

June 11, 2009 at 9:18 pmLe sigh. I love this dress but so sad that my girls did not look how shall we say. . . appropriate in the royal blue one.
So glad other gals are finding it because its super cute!

June 15, 2009 at 3:49 pmI just bought this dress in solid black and LOVE it. I work it to a wedding over the weekend and I could keep my lip gloss and ID in the pockets – PERFECT.
I was trying to find a picture of it on gap.com but couldn’t until I googled it and it came up under the maternity section. haha, I’m definitely not pregnant but I still rocked it!

June 16, 2009 at 6:48 amI bought this dress in royal blue yesterday and besides being a little longer than I care for (I’m 5’3″) it fits fabulous. Very good coverage on top as I’m not a big fan of a lot of cleavage for my C cups and no need for a bra. Very comfortable and the pockets are a great perk!

June 17, 2009 at 4:10 pmI ran to my Gap today, didn’t see it, decided to try on a pair of pants and lo and behold, one dress is sitting on the return rack. I said a little prayer, checked the size, and SCORE. It is a beauty! You have great taste and suggestions!

June 29, 2009 at 1:49 pmJust wanted to share, I just got this dress on sale for $30!!!! I had tried it on, before you posted but thought since I’d need to get it hemmed, it wasn’t worth $85. But at the sale price plus alterations it’ll still be cheaper than the original cost!
Also, I love the grey and ivory as well but it was too sheer.

June 29, 2009 at 2:01 pmI also love the dress, and i have some news, the dress IS on gaps website, the catch is for whatever reason its in the maternity section… Only the all black is available
