An overall dress is the easiest thing in the world to wear, because it makes every decision for you except one: what goes underneath. Straps over the shoulder, a body that skims rather than clings, pockets where you need them, and that is the outfit. In light blue it reads soft and summery rather than utilitarian.
The straps are adjustable, which matters more than it sounds. It means the bib sits where you want it and the hem lands where you want it, and it means the dress can be worn by two people of different heights without either of them compromising. The composition is 95% rayon and 5% polyester, so this is a soft fluid fabric rather than a rigid one, and the supplier lists it as having no stretch. Sizes run small through extra large. The bust opens from 39.4 to 45.3 inches and the length sits between 28.7 and 29.9 inches, which makes this a short dress. The table below has every figure.
What goes underneath is where this gets interesting. A plain white tee is the default and it is a good default. A ribbed tank makes it summer, a fitted long sleeve or a thin knit makes it autumn, and bare shoulders make it a holiday. Light blue takes white, tan, cream and black without any thought at all. A flat sandal or a sneaker suits it better than a heel, since the whole point of a piece like this is that it looks like you did not try.
