Good Stuff From Mall Stores: Summery Cover-Up At Eddie Bauer

What: Sleeveless Smocked Gauze Cover-Up Dress, $69

Why: Oh, Eddie. Who knew you had such a feminine side? I always thought you were too immersed in your River Runs Through It fly-fishing habit to give us ladies much more than mom capris and boxy tees. I was mistaken. After a recent perusal of your catalog, I noticed your dress section has really come into its own, with a refreshing assortment of simple, inexpensive frocks.

This lightweight gauze dress makes for a perfect swimsuit cover-up or a stand-alone dress for a hot August day. Thank you for making something so perfect for summer. Keep up the good work.
