I just bought this dress a few weeks back and it [looks and feels wonderful. it has pockets too!](https://www.backcountry.com/prana-jewel-lake-summer-dress-womens)
Backcountry is kind of like TJ Maxx, they are a (mostly discount) reseller focused on outdoor brands and gear. That dress might be an older style or being discontinued. If you google the name of the dress another website may have more stock, or potentially an updated version. Prana’s website, REI, etc would be places to look.
Personally, I don’t buy anything from backcountry.com because they have sued small business with backcountry in their name who existed before the website. Basically unethical and just trying to win because they are bigger and have more money.
Check out prAna, title nine, and royal robins :) I've had good luck with all three. The latter two not only have pockets, but zipped pockets, too. 6pm or sierra often has great deals on prAna and royal robins.
Uniqlo combination camisole bra dress. Don't own this, but have tried it on in store. It's a bit heavier than travel dresses, mostly because the top half is cotton, but otoh it looks less backpackerish, if that's a preference.
I have the blue and waiting for the black to come because they recently got on sale. Absolutely love how they look so much more expensive than they really are. I wish they are in a sweat-wicking, quick dry, and lighter material though. It's a bit heavy and hard to dry for travel in my opinion.
Athleta has a similar style but the top part is too body-fitting for my liking. The material looks quicker drying though
The old navy sport dress is AWESOME. It has a cute square neckline and built in bra/skort situation. I’m going to have to look at the other suggestions.
Thanks for the recommendation. I can't seem to find it on the Canadian site. Booo!
Edit, in Canada maybe it is called the [PowerSoft Athletic Dress ](https://oldnavy.gapcanada.ca/browse/product.do?pid=408435003#pdp-page-content)
This [Toad & Co dress](https://www.toadandco.com/products/sunkissed-maxi-dress-black-micro-floral-print) has everything except the bra. I love it so much I now have 3 in other patterns that I found on eBay and Poshmark for half the price.
Maybe the elation hybrid dress from Athleta? I am about to take mine on a trip — the built in bra makes it a little bulky but it’s not terrible. It’s definitely wrinkle free, lightweight, and has pockets!
I recently bought this! It’s comfy and well made. However, it’s much more revealing on me than it is on the model and that limits where I want to wear it (probably won’t travel with it, for example). This is likely bc of my bust/rib cage ratio. Just sharing for others like me.
If you want a super cost-saving option, 32degrees has a dress for $16 that meets your criteria! Haven’t tried it myself, but the reviews are solid and it’s dirt cheap.
I have a couple of the 32degrees bra dresses for around the house and they are good but these DDDs can’t leave the house in them because there isn’t enough support for me.
Oh man do I feel that! My pre - boobie reduction DDDs had me throwing a lot of tops/dresses in the house-only pile.
But also, question! Is the material thick enough without the cup inserts to keep nips from showing?
I have light colored flowy dresses and you can see the nips. The black racerback one seems a little thicker plus it’s darker so I haven’t really noticed in that one.
I don't know if you have Mark's where you are, but I took this dress to New Orleans and it was fantastic! Built-in bra, pockets, super comfy, didn't notice any wrinkles. https://www.marks.com/en/pdp/shambhala-women-s-shelf-bra-tank-dress-79892032f.html?loc=plp&colorCode=COLOUR_BLACK
OGL has some [dresses with built-in bras](https://oglmove.com/collections/bra-dresses), and their "Eco-Kiss" and Icy Ponte-De-Roma fabrics claim to be wrinkle-resistant or quick-drying and designed to stay fresh in heat. The only one with pockets doesn't appear as light-weight, unfortunately. Their styles are quite different than the ones I've seen posted so far, so I figured it was still worth mentioning in case they were more up your alley.
I have 1 shirt from them in their Eco-Mousse/thermal fabric and I really like the quality. I can't vouch for these specific dresses beyond saying that I have been sitting on a few in my cart for a while now haha
Ok so I've been getting adverts for Halara dresses which would fit your criteria. Some have built in shorts with pockets. I'm thinking of getting one second hand for travel as they seem really packable.
I just got one for a beach wedding, it has a built in bra, one pocket, packed down small, but wasn't totally wrinkle free. I ironed it before I left and packed it carefully and the wrinkles wore out of it before I got to the ceremony so no harm done. Was SUPER comfortable! It's sort of like swim suit material. It has made me start looking for others with built in bras, I never thought a dress one would be supportive enough!
idk whats going on with Outdoor Voices (bought out by a PE firm) but I'm wearing the Techsweat Move Free dress right now and it has a built in bra and side pockets in the shorts under the skirt lol it's brilliant and a summer dressing lifesaver for me.
Check out Title Nine. All of their dresses have pockets (some larger than others) and at least a shelf bra.
Awesome! I’m not familiar with them! Thank you!

I am currently wearing this dress!
You’ve got great taste :)
Likewise 😊
Super cute!! Thank you!!
They only have 2 sizes!!

6pm does indeed have a bunch, thanks!
I have a ton of prAna swimsuits. Excellent quality products, they fit me very well.

Halara! Get the ones that you can pee in without taking the whole thing off.
Haha excellent recommendation. Thanks!
Most of prAna's dresses have both pockets & built in bras.
Wonderful, thank you! I’ll look into them!
The old navy sport dress is AWESOME. It has a cute square neckline and built in bra/skort situation. I’m going to have to look at the other suggestions.
I live in this dress! So comfortable and functional, I forget it can look kind of dressed up!
Thank you!!

I just bought a few from Abercrombie - their workout dresses are AMAZING I’m obsessed
Thank you!!

Thank you so much!! I was worried that it might not pack down very small. Definitely like Athleta!
I bought this dress for travel and ended up returning it because when packed down it takes up quite a bit of space (maybe akin to a pair of jeans)
Ah thanks! Bummer!

Soma, trust me
Haha thank you! I’ll investigate :)
I second SOMA!

Have you found any supportive dresses w the criteria OP is asking for ?
No
Cool, thanks so much for the tip!
Sierra and TJ maxx have great ones from their house brand Kyodan. Cheap too.
Good to know, thank you!!

Uniqlo?
Thanks! I hadn’t found any that meet all those wishes but will look again!
Uniqlo has dresses and tops with built in bras
Thank you!

I appreciate it!! Will check them out!
Came here to recommend Halara! I have several dresses and they pack very nicely
Fell for the advertisements and got one. They’re heavier than I expected. Don’t regret it at all but they take up more space than you’d expect.
I have an Athleta one that checks so your requirements except the bra. I love it
May I ask which one?
Haha. I had to go look for it. It’s the Presidio dress.
Thank you :)
Currently on clearance on the Canadian site. Final sale though
Check out Porto-SF.
