Madewell Denim Drop-Hem Shirtdress

LOVED FOR: Its longer hem length

USERS SAID: "I pulled this guy out of the bag and I don't think I'll take it off all summer. I'm tall (5'9") and sometimes Madewell dresses feel short on me, but this beauty is just right. It might be the perfect throw-on-and-go dress and there are pockets. I got my usual size small. Seriously- BUY IT!"
