Teacher Dresses with Pockets

Our teacher dresses are made for long days on your feet: soft natural fabrics, easy silhouettes, and pockets for your markers, phone and classroom keys. Designed in Chicago with bold, original prints, from our playful Lounge Cats to vintage-inspired florals, these are cute teacher dresses that spark a conversation and still work for parent-teacher night. Many styles come in sizes XS–3X, and every one is fair trade made by our artisan partners. Want the backstory on why pockets matter? Read the feminist history of dresses with pockets.

Do all of these dresses have pockets?
Yes. Every dress in this collection has functional pockets.

Are these dresses machine washable?
Our organic jersey dresses can be machine washed cold on a delicate cycle. For printed woven cottons, we recommend hand washing to protect the handwork.
