Friends, I am keeping this short and sweet so you can stop what you’re doing and get this dress asap. Quite frankly, I am astounded. The print, the fabric, the colors, the quality – so gorgeous! This midi shirt dress with ruching is only $36 but looks far more expensive.

Midi Shirt Dress Under $40
Ever since luxury designer Brandon Maxwell started designing the Scoop line and Free Assembly, the fashion game at Walmart has leveled up. Free Assembly is the brand I prefer but this dress caught my eye on my friend Nanette. I could hardly believe it was from Walmart! I ordered it Saturday in two sizes and it arrived on Monday.

Since I wasn’t sure about the sizing, I ordered both a small and a medium. The medium fit – this dress runs a little on the small side so keep that in mind when ordering. Walmart has free shipping when you spend $35 or more and free returns. Returns can be made free by mail (you print a label) but I always return in store.
How to Wear It
This midi shirt dress would be perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, work, you name it! It is really stunning on and I am afraid the photos don’t do it justice. I love adding a blazer (of course I do) and booties but heels would work just as well. I imagine throwing a sweater over top, a cardigan, even a denim jacket – so many options!

The midi shirt dress comes in 2 prints and as I said it runs small. I bought the Pink Brush Dot but it also comes in Burgundy Blurry Flower. I thought I knew what I was wearing for Thanksgiving…until this dress arrived!

I was surprised to see that Walmart has some pretty cute dresses right now with some on clearance for as low as $12. I am definitely a fan, how about you?
