Shirtdresses are more prone to snag or stretch out after just a few wears.  As you move, sit and bend throughout the day the dress takes all of the tension, and can show snags across the back from arm to arm, straight across the bust and along the seat area. If you spend more time sitting than standing, the wear will be even more noticeable. Choose shirtdresses made of sturdy fabrics instead of thin silky styles to get the most wear out of these fashion must have’s.
