This Comptoir des Cotonniers shirt dress carries an abstract print in charcoal, lilac grey and stone, brushed across silk blend fabric  A stand collar opens to a button front placket, easing into a dropped waist and a gathered skirt that falls to just below the knee. Roll tab cuffs finish the sleeves and side seam pockets sit neatly in the skirt seam. The dropped waist and gathered fullness are typical of the loosened, easy silhouettes this French label became known for through the 2000s.

If you like a loose, easy silhouette with room to move, this dress is perfect. Wear it with flat sandals and simple hoops for daytime, or add tights and boots as the weather turns. A relaxed cardigan or light jacket layers easily over the stand collar on cooler days.

Designer Information: Comptoir des Cotonniers was founded in Toulouse in 1995 by Tony and Georgette Elicha, built around the idea of mothers and daughters sharing pieces from the same wardrobe. The label became known across France for elegant, everyday clothing with a focus on fabric and cut, and was acquired by Fast Retailing, owner of Uniqlo, in 2005.
