1 Look, 4 Girls: The T-Shirt Dress
One for all, and all for one.
A universally flattering, one-style-fits-all wardrobe staple may sound like a fashion urban legend, but this slit-up-to-there Silence + Noise Asymmetric Muscle T-Shirt Midi Dress ($59) is the real deal. Want proof? Four women—one tall, one petite, one busty, and one plus-size—tried it on, with each outfit styled to flatter and fit their specific body types. Here's how they made the look work for them.
If You're Tall
Pop on a contrasting piece of outerwear—like this nubby cropped vest—to break up the single continuous line. The layer defines your torso while highlighting mile-long legs.

If You're Short
A printed coat with a dramatic collar draws attention upward, an instant optical illusion that boosts stature for smaller frames. Keep it unbuttoned for an uninterrupted vertical line of vision, and add a neutral shoe for a final lengthening touch.

If You're Busty
The dark hue flatters large busts, and jersey is the most forgiving fabric around, able to easily give and take to work with your curves. Go all in on a bombshell look by adding fiery red accessories and a voluminous '70s-inspired scarf or jacket.

If You're Plus
