What is in this section
Eyelet mini dress
The dressed-up mini of the catalogue: embroidered eyelet fabric with a full lining, a notch V-neck with pearl-embellished buttons, empire waist, pockets. Four colourways share 279 ratings at 4.3 stars. White is the bridal-shower one; sage green is the sleeper hit. If there is a bachelorette, a shower or a graduation on your calendar, this section is where the white dress question gets answered. 4 variants, from $35.99, 279 ratings.
Holiday sweater dress
The step-up sweater dress: 71% polyester, 18% acrylic, 11% polyamide knit with a crew neck, button details and true pockets, in a burgundy that was made for December. Simplee’s own bullet calls the style "basic and simplee", brand pun included. Two dollars more than the white version buys real pockets and a hem you can wear to work. 1 variant, from $14.99, 220 ratings.
Smocked midi sundress
The plainest dress in the catalogue and the one you will wear the most. Sleeveless V-neck, smocked high waist, A-line midi skirt, pockets, $14.99. Simplee publishes the size math right in the listing: S is US 4-6, XL is US 16-18. The errand dress that survives being the photo dress. At this price, some buyers keep two. 1 variant, from $14.99, 70 ratings.
Crest button sweater dress
The cheapest dress in the catalogue. A ribbed-knit bodycon mini with a crew neck, long sleeves and a row of gold crest buttons on faux front pockets. The white colourway photographs far above its price. At $12.99 this is the price of two coffees standing in for a holiday party dress. 1 variant, from $12.99.
Babydoll floral mini dress
The shortest and flirtiest dress in the range. A deep V-neck babydoll mini in a stretchy yarn fabric with a smocked chest, side pockets and a pink floral print. Made for vacations, priced so it can live in a beach bag. This is the beach-town dinner dress, not the wedding one. Price it against a cocktail, not a gown. 1 variant, from $16.99.
