I’m pretty sure the oldest pieces in my wardrobe are James Perse. Two dresses, to be specific: one cami dress (last seen here) and one tube dress (last seen here). I’m not sure which one I got first, maybe the cami dress, but they’re probably both around 6-7 years old. And they’re not going anywhere any time soon. I’m wearing the cami dress as I write, and now that it’s Summer here in TX, I’ll be living in it. I mostly wear it just around the house or to the pool lately because it’s a bit short for my taste, but it’s held up remarkably well for a simple cotton dress…
The last few years, I’ve been waiting and hoping that James Perse would “bring back” the cami dress so I could buy more, in every color, and now he has. It’s different (maybe better), but it certainly has the makings of a classic and after the performance of the last incarnation, definitely deserves a spot in my closet:
Who else has the original version of the cami dress? Will you get the new one?
I had and loved the original cami dress. Is it just the picture or does this version look a little long in the torso with a shorter skirt?
I am planning to try on more of the James Perse dresses based on your reviews. I only have the sweatshirt raglan dress in two colors.
great! you can always email me directly if you have any questions about anything. i don’t get to try much on in person anymore because there aren’t a lot of places here that sell JP, but i’ll try and help.
