Dressbarn is not usually where I look for things to feature, but I was browsing over there for our recent Corporette roundup on the best workwear for size 16 and beyond and thought that this dress looked great. It’s got a slightly interesting neckline, which can sometimes be a bad thing if you’re buying from a store like Dressbarn, but I think this dress is so plain and simple, it’s a good thing here. I like that it’s fully lined and has slight cap sleeves, and that it’s machine washable. The red only has one size left (which is a good sign), but the blue has sizes 4-16 for just $48.

Here’s a plus-size option — while it’s not labeled machine washable, it’s dry clean and not “dry clean only.”

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
Labeling question for kid clothes – this is probably super basic, but I should just go with a last name label to allow reuse between kids, right? I know Mabel’s Labels is a popular company – any other (cheaper?) favourites?
I’m in LA planning a vacation in New England in mid-October. I will have a 2 year old. We intend to travel from city to city exploring and enjoying the foliage. My concern is there will not be enough to “do” with the toddler, or that going form Boston to Portland to New Hampshire (suggestions?) to Providence (etc) will be too much car time.
Do you have suggestions on what sites to see in New England and what might entertain the kiddo? Perhaps visiting a farm?
I know this gets covered regularly, but I need fresh info. My son just moved into the 1 year old room at daycare. I need a lunch box that will fit both an ice pack and multiple tupperware containers (bonus if it also fits milk cup, but they will refrigerate that). My older son uses a Pack-It (which doesn’t need a separate ice pack), and we love it, but it’s not wide enough for all the tupperware containers. We are currently using a crocodile creek square box and I can’t zip it all the way up. I don’t think I will like the bento box. Ideas?
Ugh, this is as detailed as I can get, but husband made a mistake at work that ruffled feathers. It is related to something within his control that has come up before. I am trying hard to balance my anxiety about the implications of the mistake (it should be okay, hopefully just an embarrassing conversation at his work, but who knows), anger at him for letting it happen again, and knowing that he feels terrible and has a tendency to shame spiral. Not looking for anything specific, just trying to sort out my own anxiety and anger right now.
Someone from my local moms’ Facebook group just offered up “10-11 perineal ice packs from my recent delivery.” I’m all for recycling and reusing, but Just No.
Hi – we’ll be doing a red eye flight with our five and a half month old daughter. We’ve generally kept her away from screen time, but I’d like to download a video or app or two on our phones to occupy her if needed. Any recommendations of what will hold her attention without volume?
My son is turning 2 in a few weeks and he loves babies. Has anyone found a boy baby doll? They seem few and far between. PB Kids has a picture of one on their website, but there isn’t one available for sale. I found one on Fat Brain, but just wondering if anyone else has had any luck?
We are taking our first mini-vacay with our one-year-old to a resort in the U.S. We’re planning on staying on property almost the entire time (it’s got all the things, along the lines of Disney), and aren’t going to rent a car as a result. So we’re looking at uber/taxi/shuttles from the airport to the resort and vice versa.
Silly question – we still need to haul the carseat with us, right? Outside of walking from the airport to the hotel (I joke), this is not optional, correct? I’m 99% sure that’s the answer, just checking as we start our packing list.
What is up with postings being more… contentious than usual the past couple of days? I’m glad it always get shut down quickly, but this is such a valuable, supportive, judgement-free space that I’m surprised this is suddenly happening!
Anyway, this dress looks nice and the neckline is fun. I would definitely want to try it on in person before trusting Dress Barn, though. (Since I’ve never gone in one and have no idea what level of quality they offer)
