They have everything from skirts and dresses, cute cardigan sweaters, tee’s and camis, swim separates, denim and even accessories and handbags. Whether your look is chic and feminine, fun and flirty, classic polished or trendy preppy, Down East Basics has everything you will need to complete your desired look.

Down East Basics has a beautiful selection of trendy and stylish dresses. I immediately fell in love with them all but the one that truly stole my heart was the Sunshine & Rainbows Dress.

Product Description

Printed knit jersey dress with cross over neckline

Smocked waistband 

A-line skirt

Material: Polyester/spandex

Sizes: XS-XXL

Price: $36.99

 

The Sunshine and Rainbow dress is made of a soft warm gray polyester and covered in beautiful, fun, bright blue, green, red and yellow flowers. This modest dress features a soft v-neck and a spandex “band” beneath the bust to provide a comfortable and flattering, yet fitted appearance. This dress is fitted at the hips and gradually widens towards the hem, creating a feminine hourglass silhouette. I find the cap sleeves to be simply adorable especially with the dainty ruffles at the hem. You can easily dress this up with a pair of heels or flats or dress it down with a pair of matching flip flops. I love how this dress has a nice flow to it and most importantly, I love how incredibly comfortable it it. The dress is knee length in the photo, however I am 5’9, so it’s just an inch or two shorter on me. It is very modest, chic and playful. You can wear a camisole for added color, but since the v-neck is not deep, you a camisole is not necessary.

Down East Basics offers high-quality, affordable clothing for women on nearly every budget. They also have have carry adorable girls clothing and a they have a great sale section.

  6. Great review and cute dress! Thank you for commenting on the v-neck and length of the dress. I have seen this dress before but wondered if it would be too short and I also hate having to always wear a camisole under dresses and I thought for sure I would, so I'm glad to know I wouldn't have to! I'll have to check this dress out! Thanks!
