Desk-to-dinner, chic to statement, the shirt dress might be one of the most hard-working wardrobe mainstays...
Fashion fun fact - The shirt dress has an interesting feminist origin. Started as a ‘shirtwaist top’, fashioned after a man’s shirt with a matching skirt bottom, it emerged in the 1890s as the uniform for the progressive New Woman. And later on, it surged in popularity during the post-war 1940s as the work-appropriate attire when women first entered the workforce.
