The Aditi dress, Beebe belt, and Claressa earring.
Dresses: They’re the heroes of our closets. Thanks to their one-and-done nature, dresses can be some of the most low-maintenance, high-efficiency items in your wardrobe. This also means that, if even one small aspect of your dress is less than ideal, it can inconvenience you from head to toe (or knee).
When you’re committing to a piece that you plan to wear on the regular, don’t make any major sacrifices. Prefer easy care? Don’t settle for “dry clean only.” Sitting all day? Seek out stretch. Only want to invest in pieces you can wear for years to come? Prioritize timeless style. All of the above? Scroll to see the 10 elements that make up the anatomy of our WonderTex dresses—a.k.a. the ultimate do-it-all outfits.

They’re machine-washable.
At M.M., we’re perfectionists who sometimes spill on our clothes. Thankfully, our WonderTex dresses are made of polished, machine-washable fabric, so these put-together pieces can handle our not-so-put-together moments. That means they’re ready for that big meeting and that big cup of cold brew you just splashed all over yourself.
They’re wrinkle-resistant.
Don’t let wrinkles cramp your style. Our WonderTex pieces are meant to provide unwavering polish and ease, so we made sure they fight back against noticeable creasing. We’re certain you have better things to do than worry about wrinkles.

They’re travel-friendly.
Speaking of which—don’t you just hate when you unpack your suitcase and your clothes are a wrinkled mess? Same here—but no need to travel with a steamer. The wrinkle-resistance of WonderTex also makes these pieces ideal travel companions, whether for wearing on your flight or packing for the rest of your trip. An added bonus? Since they all feature a structured shape, thoughtful seam placement, and polished fabric, these dresses can hold their own without a jacket or accessories—allowing you to get dressed in a flash and lessen carry-on bulk.
They’re 3D-designed.
The rumors are true: Our clothes are designed to be worn by humans. And since we’re three-dimensional beings, we design in 3D rather than the traditional 2D—draping each piece on a variety of forms rather than scaling up or down from a singular sketch. The result? Phenomenal fit that simply does not translate onto a hanger. As with all M.M. pieces, our WonderTex dresses should be tried on before they’re written off.
The Emily dress and Yayoi earring.
They’re high stretch.
Just because a dress fits you impeccably, that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be comfortable when you’re sitting in that meeting that could’ve been an email. Sure, you can fake it ‘til you make it at a special event, but there is no reason to feel constricted in your everyday life. Our WonderTex dresses are structured yet stretchy, meaning they accommodate long days at your desk and indulgent dinners after work.
They’re eco-conscious.
Looking for low-effort, high-impact actions you can take to reduce your impact on the environment? Tweaking your shopping habits is a great place to start. Opt for fabrics like our Recycled WonderTex, which incorporates recycled materials. By purchasing one of these dresses, you’re giving up to 15 plastic bottles a beautiful new purpose.
Another way to address your environmental impact? If you ever change sizes (or just change your mind), you can head to our resale site Second Act to find your WonderTex dress a new home. Both the environment and a fellow M.M. fan will thank you.

They’re odor-resistant.
Stop questioning whether or not that natural deodorant you’re trying out is working, and invest in a backup plan. Most of our WonderTex dresses* are treated with Polygiene®, an anti-odor finish that prevents odor from building up in your garments. This finish also allows you to wear your piece multiple times before tossing it in the washing machine, reducing both your laundry load and your water consumption. Learn more about Polygiene® here.
*Note: Our black WonderTex fabric is not treated with Polygiene®.
They’re tailoring-friendly.
No, you should not bring just any garment to your tailor. But yes, you can tailor any of our WonderTex silhouettes. Petites, rejoice!
The Malala dress and Dora earring.
They’re timeless in style.
Stylish but not trendy. Sophisticated but not fussy. All of our WonderTex dresses are designed with longevity top of mind. These streamlined pieces won’t go out of style anytime soon, so stock up and watch their cost-per-wear go down.
They’re easy to accessorize.
Because these dresses are incredibly timeless and fairly minimalist, they’re ripe for accessorizing. Treat your WonderTex dress as a blank canvas: Add pops of color, interesting textures, and unexpected shapes. Get creative!
