Shirt dress in white

I am thrilled with the white shirt dress especially that the fabric is strong enough to tackle my journeys to the farmers market, beach and travel. The pockets come handy and I like their location. This is the second shirt dress from Helen Jon and I truly enjoy both! It was my wish on the last survey I completed to offer more shirt dresses, so thank you for your comfortable unique creation.
