The shirtdress is the ultimate in easy dressing -- structured to flatter and totally now.  

REMEMBER to order all of the potential sizes to find the best fit for you AND to insist on a great fit by returning any and all sizes that aren't right.  Jacket fits if you can fully button it.  Adjust sleeves or pant length at the tailor..
