Why We Built The Jersey Knit Shirt Dress
Built for the weekend, the Backcountry Jersey Knit Shirt Dress features soft comfort and casual style. The lightweight fabric is made from Tencel, a natural fiber that offers a breathable cotton-like touch, keeping you cool and comfortable on warm, sunny days. The relaxed fit pairs nicely with leggings during the spring and fall, with flowy style when worn alone during the summer months. Backcountry even equipped it with two hand pockets in addition to the chest pocket, so you'll always have a spot to keep your phone.

I purchased size M in the Stormy Sea to take advantage of the sale. It's nice quality, falls in all the right places. I can get away with nicer flats to dress it up slightly, but think it looks the least like a night gown with a sweater and boots to cover how the pockets stick out a bit. I'm 5'-3" around 135LB, hangs nicely at the right areas without being too clingy.

This dress is perfect to throw on for the summer. It's lightweight and flowy, but has enough structure so it doesn't suction to the body in an unflattering way. I also appreciate that it's not transparent, b/c some t-shirt dresses are! This pairs great with Chacos, or with some comfy bike shorts!

Crazy soft, very comfortable, and good sizing. But yikes those pockets are poorly placed! I could never wear it in public - must add 20lbs! Might be a nightgown.

I really like this dress and have worn it a dozen times now. It is incredibly soft and easy to wear. I love that it has pockets and the length is perfect. Shorter in the front than the back. The material is a medium thicknes so it doesn't show panty lines or bra lines . My issues with it are that the pockets hit right at my hips and it isn't the most flattering placement and that after two washes the material is pilling.

For my lifestyle this dress is perfect! It's so comfortable with amazing pockets, and doesn't make you feel flabby! I wear it with birkenstocks or with skate shoes. I still feel sporty in it, because I rarely wear dresses. Loving it for spring and wearing it with a jean jacket!

I was super worried about this material of the dress but I was oh so wrong. It has great weight to it so it doesn’t show every line or make me feel like in the sun you can see it all.... It’s beyond soft and very comfortable. I’m very short so for me this is the perfect length, which is hard to find! However, if your tall I might be a little worried. I think it’s a great dress for casual events- grocery store, lounging around town, etc. This is not a tight form fitting dress. So, if that’s what you’re after- this is not the dress for you. However, I don’t feel like I’m wearing a bag at all. It has a great shape to it while still being breathable and cozy. Lastly, can we talk about how it has pockets?! Game changer. I think I will be getting this in a second color.

This dress is pretty great! It is casual and comfortable. The material is soft, has a decent weight to it, and is a bit slinky. I am 5'6 and about 135 lbs and ordered the small. I carry most of my weight in my butt and thighs and was pleasantly surprised to find that it's flattering from behind in the Odyssey Gray color. The front is shorter than most other dresses I wear, but is evened out by the longer back. I wouldn't wear this to any work functions because I'd be too concerned about awkward bending over or sitting in chair moments, but think it'd be fine for weekends with friends. For the most part, it fits like on the model. My main concern, however, is that the pockets on this dress hit me right at the widest part of my hips, making it a bit unflattering from the front. I've debated whether or not I should keep this dress for about a week. Ultimately, I think I'm going to keep it because it's so comfortable, but if I hadn't gotten it on sale, I probably would've returned it.
