Shirt dresses are just coming out of the house and on to the streets. Women have been slipping into mens dress shirts for a long time and have always looked so sexy in them.Not they are becoming a trend.

Aww, thanks, I love this name, too. Or maybe I always thought the the Furies got shafted in mythology. Regardless of my conflicted feelings on buttondowns, it would be interesting to see the shirt dress paired with a lacy camisole and a structured belt, perhaps.

I think it looks quite attractive. I would definitely like to see my partner wearing this!

I don't know about wearing that as a dress. It seems like a shirt like that should be a little bit more fitted and opened up at the top and worn with jeans. It's a masculine-cut shirt so it needs a little femininity, or at least the ability to show shape.The too-big dress look reminds me of girls who put on their boyfriend's clothes after they've spent the night at his place. Which is fine, of course, but buying one expressly to wear yourself could be considered cheating.

I associate the shirt-dress with a girl I know with only atrocious copy-cat fashion sense, so I'm inclined to dislike it. It's "lazy" fashion, too effortless. I definitely agree with pants over leggings. What about a pencil skirt (a twist on the business casual sexy look) or would that be just crazy? I have issues with bumpiness when I try the look with pants. Any suggestions?
A problem with just belting it is drawing attention to the tummy, making the belt the focus of the outfit, and a lot of 'average' sized women don't like to draw attention there. Sans belt, it begs associations to button-down unsexy nightshirts for (men or) women. I actually think a suitable nightshirt could be found, cheaply, at a generic department store...

Suzy: Haha, I don't know about the billion dollar price tags -- I was definitely planning on looking on ebay. It was just a look I wanted to experiment with, really. I actually think it could look good with leggings, if you did tall boots and belted shirt in kind of an equestrian-style. But skinny jeans would work too, I'm sure. Megaera: First off, love your name. I feel you on the button-down look -- I'm usually not a fan of button-down shirts either. Except when I'm feeling kind of Oxford-y. And I understand with this look that a lot of people would look at me like: What are you thinking? But I still feel like it could be done in a way, possibly as Suzy and I were talking about above, that wouldn't look like the equivalent of me wearing a barrel around my middle because I couldn't scrounge up any other clothes.

I just have never been able to get into the shirt dress. Course, I've always had a love/hate relationship with button-down anything, but now every time I see the man's-shirt-as-dress all I can think of is the Sex &TC episode where Carrie just belts a shirt because she lacks other clothing.

I think i'd giggle if I saw someone wear it with leggings and that's it. I'd try to pull it off with tighter jeans, a thick braided belt at the hips and maybe some boots. I'm not much for unflattering clothing, so I'd try to make the top a little more flattering. But the thing is...you can just go to a thrift store and buy a mens shirt, so why is there a need to make shirt like that for women with an expensive price tag! Reminds me of the 80's.
