So about a month ago Inayah sent me over items of my choosing but because of other things happening a lot of my blogging duties were put on the back burner but with next week's Malaysia trip I'm trying to push out as many reviews as I can.
The Inayah pieces I choose were the lavender scarf and the grey shirt dress. I reviewed the scarf in this previous post. The ample length and the ability the grey shirt dress has to be worn in both a work and play environment appealed to me. It's easily dressed up or down, making it very versatile and being the type of person who likes to declutter and minimise everything possession related (wardrobe included) it was right up my alley.
The fabric is 100% viscose and similar to linen in that it sits well against the body without clinging but does need a good iron before every wear. It also creases easily like linen so you might need to grab yourself some spray starch to get some longevity out of each wear. The material and stitching is top notch.
It's a very comfortable fitting piece. The sleeves are fitted and I'm not able to push or roll them up to make them shorter (big 3/4 sleeve fan here) so you are stuck with long sleeves. Being a business sort of looking shirt I thought it would feature buttons on the sleeve cuffs but alas it does not. No big deal though really. I like that they're cuffed and naturally complement the chest pockets (which are usable by the way though I'm not sure I'd ever shove anything in them). There are also concealed buttons all the way down the front of the shirt dress so it's handy for any nursing mothers out there. It also means you can wear it in different ways - open cardi style, etc.

Weather wise it is a good all-rounder shirt and I don't see it being a problem for hotter or cooler weather. I love the simple yet modern modesty to this piece.
