Chambray is one of my favorite fabrics – it has some hardiness like denim and texture like linen, but is softer against the skin. When I saw this combo of chambray and crochet lace (also comes in all white) from Maison Jules’ latest arrivals, I thought it felt playful and unmistakably summer. I paired it with my cross-body bag and platform espadrilles for an afternoon of showing my family around town. I just realized this dress is part of their “mommy & me” line with a coordinating frock for the little girl in your life…gah! Too cute.
I’ve had a few finds now from this brand in my regular rotation (like this cotton gingham dress from an earlier post which fit nicely off the rack). This dress is another good quality piece made of 100% cotton with crochet embroidery that goes around the back, convenient side pockets, and petite-friendly proportions.
The waistline on this is elasticized so it has a little give, and there is a metal half zipper at the upper back for entry. From their latest summer arrivals, I also tried on this flattering navy striped dress which was very fitted on me in size xxs, and this darling scalloped lemon top (roomy fit FYI – I took xxs).
Measurements of this dress in xxs: 15″ across the armpit, 11.5″ stretching up to 15″ across the waist, and 32″ total length.
hi jean! do you have to iron this dress after every wash?
Lovely!!! I love the light blue color and it goes so well with your ice-cream. <3

You guys will look so adorable! I hope you both love it : )
Hi Gwen! You have sharp eyes : ) This was at Cream & Sugar at Marina Bay in Quincy. Have you tried Christina's? They always have a long list of flavors!
Thank you for the kind words! I'm still in the process of trying several different products that were recommended to me. Thanks for the post suggestion – I'll keep it in mind!
Yes I avoid wearing it against darker denim, esp ones that come with dyed color warning tags. I wasn't worried for this lighter chambray since it didn't feel like the type of material that would bleed color
Lord & Taylor…I'll have a review up soon
Thank you! I'm working on a post, but if you follow me on Snapchat (username: extrapetite) I usually snap favorite places that we visit or new places we try!
Thanks for sharing this post! You just convinced me to order it and the matching dress for my daughter. I can never pass on opportunities for matching mommy and daughter outfits!
This dress is awesome! In love with it! <3
So bad that I am not living in the US to shop your fav items!
It's so difficult for me to dress here in France, there are not much petite collections (apart the one from the English brands and Banana Republic that recently openened!)
Have a nice day, Xxx

Chambray outfits are so simple and easy to style and definitely my go-t- this season. I always travel with my chambray top and shirts for last minute decisions.

With a white bag, are you worried about wearing darker denim that may transfer color to the bag?
I think anything chambray is so perfect for spring/summer. Love the casual, yet chic look of it. Especially this dress!

This is such a pretty casual dress – the patterns is lovely and so is the blue and white color scheme. I love that it has a matching set for little girls. I don't have one, but it'd be cute to pair up with my little niece, hehe.
