          If I remember correctly, a pinafore is more like an apron style that has straps/buttons and a romper is worn over a sweater or shirt, but I’m not good at fashion so don’t quote me on that. I just want to encourage everyone to try be their most genuine self and sometimes knowing a term to search for can help get you started. I assumed corduroy because of the color!

          I also don’t like corduroy haha. Do you want something to go under it or are you looking for a regular dress with no sleeves but wide straps? I don’t mind looking at some stuff when I have time, if you want some help.

              Ooo a turtleneck would look great under a dress! So, shapes are probably the easiest way to look for dresses and skirts. “A-line” is the best for fitting all body types, and will usually give you that traditional flared shape at the bottom with the smallest part at the waist. If you want something more tight/closer to the legs try ‘sheathe’ skirt, and super tight skirts that wrap really close to the legs will be ‘pencil’ skirt. (I’d only recommend pencil skirts if you got a big booty with wide hips, but that’s personal preference; those mfers are hard to move in)

              As for the kind of dress you were looking for, try ‘square neck sleeveless’ in your search. That should give you something close to the pic I’ll attach. If you want smaller straps than that remove the square neck part and just try ‘sleeveless’. You can also look for ‘work style’ or ‘uniform dress’ which might give you that shape too. A ‘romper dress’ might get you close, but I think those sometimes have shorts sewn under the skirt.

              For shoes a ‘flat’, ‘ballerina flat’, ‘loafer’, or some boots would look cute with this kind of dress. If you like the school uniform shoe look try ‘mary janes’, they usually have a rounded toe with a lil strap across the top.

              “Women’s” clothes are all over the place in sizes, so measure yourself if you can, and when in doubt order larger, cuz they’re horrible at consistency. “Men’s” clothes are way easier for getting sizes right, so those shirts are way more comfy.

              I put a lot, but hope it helps, love! Happy shopping!
