I have been searching for a little black dress (LBD) for travel that didn't have a logo or attached liner shorts, resisted wrinkles, could be sink washed and dry overnight, allowed for reasonably free movement, didn't make me look like I was out to play tennis and didn't cost an arm and a leg. I found it a Uniqlo. It's a nylon/spandex blend with two on-seam pockets, with a flattering fit. And it was only $30. It also comes in navy, white, off-white and a color Uniqlo calls red but is really more like coral. https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/products/E474076-000/00?colorDisplayCode=14&sizeDisplayCode=003 I just machine washed it and hung it to dry. It doesn't have any wrinkles.

Great find! I love their products. I bought several tops in Paris a few years ago and later ordered more. I’ll be dropping in the store when I’m in Paris in April to check out the spring/summer stock.

I wish they had more pictures of the dress on the site. This dress sounds ideal from the way you described it, but the website pictures really do it no justice. I was going to go into the store in Madrid, but something else must have caught my attention and I forgot about it until just now. Unfortunately, there are no stores in Portugal, where my next trips are planned.
Has anyone done an online return with them and was it easy? That's one thing I like about Amazon. The return process is simple.

I haven't but their return policy looks relatively uncomplicated, although they do charge a $7 return shipping fee for exchanges and returns.
Trotter, that's a cute dress! If I wore dresses, I'd definitely be interested, but I just don't feel comfortable in them.

Luckily for me there are a few Uniqlo stores near me. I have a few of their products.
I wish that some of these dresses had sleeves, even 3/4 sleeves. I prefer sleeves to applying and re-applying sunblock 2-3 times a day while out walking. I burn very quickly. What I have had to do is wear a lightweight shirt as a type of jacket with anything sleeveless.
My quest for a lightweight summer dress continues.
