I tried on similar dresses at Gap, Old Navy, and Banana Republic. The most expensive one was the most disappointing.

  • I tried on similar linen-blend dresses at Banana Republic, Old Navy, and Gap. 
  • All the dresses were made of the same material but varied greatly in price.
  • I liked the fit of the Gap dress but thought the Old Navy version provided the best value.

I’ve always been a fan of feminine fashion, and dresses are a staple in my wardrobe. Linen dresses are my go-to summer ensemble because of their versatility and lightweight, comfortable feel. With the warm weather officially here, I went on the search for some new staple pieces for my summer wardrobe.

I visited Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy — all owned and operated by parent company Gap Inc. — to try on similar linen-blend dresses and find the best overall value.

Gap Inc. is the largest specialty retailer in the US, with 2,554 company-operated stores worldwide. I figured that if that many people were shopping at Gap Inc. stores, they’d likely have a good selection of options to choose from.

I evaluated each brand and dress based on the quality of materials, garment construction, fit and comfort, sizing, in-store experience, and price.

Here’s the full breakdown of my shopping experience at Banana Republic, Gap, and Old Navy.
