Do you ever buy clothes for your kids and wish they came in your size? The denim pinafore dress is one of those pieces.
Last week, I bought all three of my girls a denim pinafore dress for summer. It’s the ideal piece to layer over a t-shirt. I think they look so cute on the girls… I wanted to wear one of my own.
How awesome that the denim pinafore dress is on trend this season. In fact, dungarees or denim overalls are a popular piece to own this spring. Truth be told, I’ve never been a fan of these because of the whole having to undress to go to the toilet situation.
I may also be scarred from hearing a story of a friend of a friend who went out to dinner in her overalls. Nature called and she did a number two, and didnt realise the back part of her overalls had dangled down the toilet bowl as she did so…
If I’m going to wear some sort of overalls… I want a skirt attached, so the denim pinafore dress ticks all the right boxes for me.
I got the last size 16 in this style from ASOS over the footy weekend. It doesn’t have stretch so I sized up. You don’t want your pinafore to be too big or the openings will reveal more than you bargained for.
I’ve styled it two ways so you can see how a pinafore denim dress can be worn in summer and winter. It is another ideal trans-seasonal piece.

A stripe tee is the perfect contrast with the denim. But any tee, singlet or off-the-shoulder top can be worn with your denim pinafore. I can’t wait to try different tops with my dress.
To make the dress versatile for the cooler weather, wear a longer sleeved tee and layer with leggings.
Frankie 4 Nat sneakers work well with the dress, but some Birkenstocks would be an ideal swap for summer.
These dresses seem to sell out as soon as they hit the shelves or online. It took me a while to find availability in a range of sizes. But here are some to help with your research.
