A burgundy woven midi in 96% cotton — 49 inches long on a size Small, with a peplum waist doing the shaping instead of a belt.
Highlights
✓Peplum waist — a short flare of cloth at the waist seam gives the dress its shape without pulling anything tight. It defines the middle and skims the hip.
✓Ruffle sleeves on a plain round neck — the detail sits at the shoulder and the neckline stays clean, which is why a necklace still works with it.
✓Button placket down the front, zip at the back — the buttons are the decoration, the zip does the closing, so the front line stays unbroken.
✓96% cotton with 4% spandex — a woven cotton that holds a crisp line, with enough stretch that sitting through a long lunch does not crease it into submission.
✓49 inches long, 16.25 across the bust, 13.75 at the waist on a Small — a true midi length. Cotton this proportion of the blend also prefers a cool wash — heat is what shrinks a long skirt into a short one.
This is a dress for the daytime end of dressing up: brunches, garden parties, a christening, the kind of afternoon where a floor-length gown would be absurd and jeans would be rude. Burgundy carries that better than black, which always looks like evening.
Flat sandals keep it easy and a heel takes it later. Browse it beside the rest of the women’s dresses, or with the warm-weather pieces in summer.
