I’ve always heard great things about Dobbin dresses, but someone recently clued me in to the fact that they’re almost all machine washable — love it, and especially the twist detail on this bracelet sleeve dress. The dress comes in sizes 00-16 for $168. Dobbin Belle Stretch Ponte Twist Dress

Looking for machine-washable work clothes? Every Wednesday we include a wear-it-to-work recommendation that is machine washable -- you can see our most recent picks below. Don't miss some of our bigger articles on this topic, though, including:
Washable Wednesday: Jersey Jacquard Dress
It feels rare to find a dress that is fully lined, machine washable, and, well, cute — but Boden does it again and again. I like this black and white version fine, but I LOVE the gray and black version (which isn’t shown on a model, alas). I like the swingy skirt but respectable hemline, … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Jersey Jacquard Dress
Washable Wednesday: Gemma Wrap Dress
The Gemma wrap dress has been around for several seasons now, and it’s a reader favorite over at Corporette — and it’s machine washable. BR has it in 11 colors and patterns, all marked between $58-$98. I particularly like this diamond print wrap dress, which strikes me as flattering but fun. It’s $89.99. Gemma Diamond … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Gemma Wrap Dress
Washable Wednesday: Sweater Jersey Wrap Top
I love this soft textured sweater jersey from Ann Taylor, which looks like a great basic for work or the weekend — and why yes, it is machine washable. It’s available exclusively online in green, light blue, red, burgundy, and black, sizes XXS-XXL in regular and petites. It’s $59 full price. Ann Taylor Sweater Jersey … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Sweater Jersey Wrap Top
Washable Wednesday: City Jersey Printed Dress
It always happens: a site is having a great sale, and I find one of the few pieces that ISN’T on sale… sigh. Fortunately, this dress is pretty affordable to begin with at $129, and I like the dark brown pattern — it almost has a tweed/crosshatch effect going on, which is quite nice. I … Read More about Washable Wednesday: City Jersey Printed Dress
Nursing Tuesday: Avebury Nursing Top
Let’s ignore the fact, for the moment, that this is my very favorite color, and focus instead on all the other great stuff this top has going for it. It can be worn in both maternity and while nursing (and even if pumping, I suspect). It looks super cozy and warm, but still professional and … Read More about Nursing Tuesday: Avebury Nursing Top
Washable Wednesday: Sleeveless Jersey Shift Dress
Eileen Fisher is another brand that, I’m learning, has an entire line of washable items marketed as such. This jersey shift dress looks simple but, I suspect, is well made enough that it’ll hold up well for quite some time, which hopefully makes up for the fact that they’re all a bit pricier than your … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Sleeveless Jersey Shift Dress
Washable Wednesday: Stripe Welt Pocket Sheath Dress
We’ve mentioned this popular sheath dress before, but I like the fun stripey version, available in green and brown, a fun black-and-white abstract pattern, and even a few fun patterns. It’s well priced, available in plus sizes, petites, and talls, and machine washable. Score. The pictured version is $79, full price. Lands’ End Stripe Welt … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Stripe Welt Pocket Sheath Dress
Feeding Tuesday: Pima Button-Front Pin-Tucked Top
Button-front shirts are classics for pumping. However, in addition to the possibility of gaping problems, button-fronts can be difficult to care for — and the iron-free versions may be treated with chemicals (formaldehyde, etc.) that you want to avoid while you’re in the pregnancy corridor and around babies. I like the look of these pin-tucked, … Read More about Feeding Tuesday: Pima Button-Front Pin-Tucked Top
Washable Wednesday: Spotted Skirt Dress
Loft has a number of cute things lately, including this spotted skirt dress, which is that rare mix of fun and sophisticated. I like the dark colors, the modest hem and high neckline — I think it would look great with knee-high boots and a chunky cardigan on a casual day, or a blazer and … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Spotted Skirt Dress
Maternity Monday: Jersey Shift Dress
Old Navy is having a maternity sale (prices up to 40% off) through October 1, and I like a lot of what I see in there. This jersey shift dress (pictured) looks chic, and I like that it’s machine washable — it was $33 but is now marked to $30, available in sizes XS-XXL. I … Read More about Maternity Monday: Jersey Shift Dress
Washable Wednesday: Black Pinstripe Sleeveless Fit and Flare Dress
I always forget about this, but Jones New York has an entire line of machine washable suit separates. I like this pinstriped fit and flare dress, available at Macy’s in sizes 2-16 — it looks comfortable, flattering, and professional. It was $139, but is now marked to $118; Jones New York has it for $109. … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Black Pinstripe Sleeveless Fit and Flare Dress
