Denim shirt dresses

Do you have one and does it get used? Do you wash it after every use, I imagine drying takes forever?

I have one, but bought in France and actually quite thin, so just a delicates wash and dry on a coat hanger. They are not all thick fabric.

I have a denim dress in thick fabric, so it’s relatively warm for cooler days, I wear a camisole under and don’t wash it every time. It takes a while to dry same as jeans.

Thanks for the replies. I’ve seen one in the sales, just thinking if I’d use it enough and the practicalities.

I think it would be a great buy. I have two, one summer weight and one winter weight. Both with collars, sort of A line. I get loads of wear out of each, I would buy another one if I found one that fitted me. I haven’t noticed that the winter weight one takes any longer to dry than a pair of jeans, but like a PP, I definitely don’t wash it after only wearing once.

I wish I could wear a denim dress, but because I am a size bigger on top, a 12 and a size 10 hips I can never do them up, same with denim shirts but at least I can wear shirts opened over vest tops in summer.

@lindyloo57 I have a summer and winter denim dress and both would be suitable for most shapes TBH. The shirt dress style one flares out form the waist so it wouldnt matter.
You can find denim dresses in all kinds of styles.

In answer to the question though I wear mine alot. The summer one is thin and dries quite quickly and I tend to layer the winter one over long sleeved tops so it gets washed less frequently (more like jeans).

I had one about 10 years ago from Sainsbury's which I loved. I no longer have it, I can't remember what I did with it!
