The verdict
Fit
Rib knit typically means a closer, body-skimming fit; expect the dress to hug rather than drape, with cargo pockets adding some bulk at the hip.
Quality
Rib-knit construction is generally simple, so the cargo pocket detailing and design work are what you're paying the premium for here, not complex fabrication.
Is the price fair?
At $225 this is mid-premium for a short knit dress — fair if the cargo-pocket styling is specifically what you want, otherwise it's paying for a design detail over a plain knit dress.
Best for
Someone who wants a fitted knit dress with a utilitarian, pocketed edge.
Care
Hand wash or use a gentle machine cycle to keep the rib knit from stretching out.
What owners report about Diesel shorts
Trustpilot reviewers for the diesel.com storefront report recurring construction problems on Diesel's shorts and denim: one buyer specifically noted 'seams come away on shorts' after normal wear, and others describe sizing as inconsistent from one order to the next, needing multiple reorders to land on the right fit. Design-wise, reviewers consistently call out the line's hand-finished washes and hardware -- engraved rivets, embossed patches, metal logo trims -- as its most distinctive strength. The recurring complaint isn't initial fit or styling but durability: reviewers say the shorts don't hold up as long as the price would suggest.
