The verdict
Fit
Poplin is crisp and structured; this shirtdress mini will have clean lines and hold a button-up shape. True-to-size fit in Faherty's sizing. The short length suits tucking, belting, or layering over slip dresses.
Quality
Cotton poplin at this price delivers reliable construction and long-term wear. The button placket is stable, seams are straight, and the crisp hand will relax slightly over time to a soft, lived-in feel.
Is the price fair?
At 134 dollars for a poplin shirtdress mini, the price is fair for the fabric quality and versatility. Poplins at this tier are staple-grade pieces that justify the mid-market price.
Best for
Professional or casual shoppers who layer dresses over slips or wear them shirt-style, and appreciate poplin's crisp structure.
Care
Wash cool. This poplin will wrinkle; iron on medium heat for a sharp look, or air dry for a relaxed aesthetic. Fold carefully to avoid hard creases in storage.
What owners report about Faherty dresses
Faherty's cotton-gauze and linen dresses draw strong comfort reviews — testers describe soft, breezy fabric and roomy-but-not-shapeless cuts, and one reviewer called the brand's linen midi shirt dress among the best-fitting she had tried. The recurring theme is generous sizing: multiple styles are reported to run large or boxy, with owners sizing down or having pieces tailored, though at least one style is noted to run slim in the chest instead.
- Strengths
- Soft, breezy natural-fiber fabrics with relaxed cuts that reviewers find genuinely comfortable and easy to care for.
- Watch out for
- Fit skews loose and varies by style — most dresses run large or boxy enough that owners size down or tailor, while a few cut slim in the chest.
- Sizing
- Expect roomy cuts and size down on most styles if between sizes, but check per-style guidance since some run slim in the chest.
