Frank & Eileen Rory Maxi Shirtdress Review
From the minute I first tried on the Frank & Eileen Rory Maxi Shirtdress, I knew we had a winner on our hands. This dress has all of the Coastal Grandmother of 2022 vibes mixed with New England effortless. The first thing I noticed was that the material, while soft, has structure. It’s a true denim material that doesn’t have a hint of see through. I can wear nude underwear with this and I’m good to go, no slip required.
If you’ve ever struggled with a flimsy white dress, you know this is huge.
The next was that it’s a shirtdress that still has a shape. I have it nipped in at the waist here with a scarf but, even on its own, it still feels tailored. It can hold its own for an occasion where you need to look nice for a lunch, but it’s also casual enough to wear around the house. It’s a one and done piece that you instantly feel pulled together while wearing. I’ve already reached for it again and again over the past two weeks.

Frank & Eileen Rory Maxi Shirtdress FAQ
How does it fit?
I ordered a size X-Small in the Frank & Eileen Rory Maxi Shirtdress, which was perfect. I often will order a Small, but I didn’t want this to be too oversized. Instead, it’s tailored yet comfortable.
What is the fabric?
I have the Rory Maxi Shirtdress in their Famous denim, which is 100% Italian cotton.
How does it wear?
This dress looks as good at 6 PM as it does at 9 AM.. I’ve worn it to lunch, to the market, for a day running around town. It’s so effortlessly chic and drapes beautifully.
How should you wear it?
I’ve worn the Rory Maxi Shirtdress styled with a braided leather belt and flat sandals. I’ve worn it like this with a silk scarf tied around it, my trusty Tuckernuck hat, and Sarah Flint block sandals.
Final verdict: It’s a splurge but, if it’s in your budget, I definitely recommend.
