Check where a pocket is located, how it closes and whether dimensions are listed. A pocket in an inner short is different from a pocket in the outer dress. Check the exact design before deciding what to carry.
Pockets can make an everyday outfit more practical, but their position and size vary between garments. Before choosing a dress or skort, check the details for the exact style, color and size you plan to order.
Start with the product details
Search for styles with pockets, then read the description and look through the photos. A product title is a useful starting point; the garment's details and photographs give the fuller picture.
Dresses, skorts and shorts underneath
- Dresses with pockets: look for the stated pocket position and check whether pockets are in the outer dress or an inner layer.
- Skorts: check the built-in shorts, pocket placement and inseam. Construction differs by style.
- Athletic dresses: some include built-in shorts, while others come with separate shorts. Read that distinction before ordering.

Common questions
Do all dresses have pockets?
No. Check the exact style's description and photographs instead of assuming the feature applies to a whole collection.
Will my phone fit?
Pocket dimensions vary. If the product page does not list them, ask before ordering.
Are built-in shorts the same as separate shorts?
No. Built-in shorts are attached to the garment; separate shorts are a separate piece. The product page should identify which is included.
Can I find plus size options?
Yes. Browse plus size clothing and check the features and size chart on each style.
