Then iron flat

This mock neck dress is: Available through Prime Usually under $40 A polyester and spandex mix (think stretchy and thick!) Available in 8 colorways Capuffy Womens Drape Neck Formal Maxi Dress The dress is all about the details

Plus, the ultra high leg slit gives you a chance to show off a killer pair of kicks wed style it with these glamorous strappy heels

It has to be good quality and look like it will hold up to years of wear and machine washing ( so nothing too flimsy or delicate ), ideally be in a natural fabric like cotton or linen so its breathable and more sustainable ( polyester can look cheap and because its made from plastic, its definitely not what you want to be wearing on a hot day ), have a chic silhouette and feel effortless to wear ( for me that means something feminine in a longer length over anything too tight or short ), and perhaps a few beautiful details ( maybe a ruffle sleeve, a cinched waist, or a broderie anglaise fabric ) to keep it interesting

Look sharp with jeans and sophisticated in formal wear with this handsome pair
