Wilfred Only Slip Dress
About Aritzia’s dresses: Aritzia's dress assortment runs roughly $98-$168 across satin, cotton poplin and knit styles, refreshed each season. The satin slip dresses from its in-house Wilfred label are the constant — reissued in new lengths and colors year after year and the most-reviewed dresses the company sells.
Is the price honest?
Our take
The Only Slip Dress is Aritzia's long-running Wilfred slip dress, sold in mini, midi and maxi lengths and cut on the bias from Effortless Satin, the label's lightweight Japanese-milled polyester satin. The midi version alone carries 428 store reviews with a true-to-size consensus, and owners consistently single out the drape — it flows without clinging. Caveats: the fabric is polyester at a three-figure list price, and colorways rotate onto deep markdown often, so full price is rarely the real price.

Write the first honest reviewThe details
- Material
- Effortless Satin, described by Aritzia as a drapey, lightweight Japanese satin with a glossy face; the label lists the content as 100% polyester with fabric milled in Japan.
- Fit
- Bias cut with a V-neckline and adjustable straps; the 428-review consensus on the midi is true to size, with owners across heights reporting it follows curves without clinging. One maxi owner found the lined two-layer construction bulky, so try the lined versions on if you sit between sizes.
- Quality
- Owner reports are consistent on the fabric — 'drapey and not sloppy looking' in one review, 'quality fabric' in another — with the main dissent being a maxi reviewer who felt the double layer kept it from hanging correctly.
- Best for
- Dinners, events and vacation evenings — anyone who wants the slip-dress look with machine-washable care and without silk prices.
- Care
- The care label says machine wash; use a cold, gentle cycle and hang to dry to protect the satin's glossy face.
