This shirt dress is patterned in fine vertical stripes running through green, teal, white and touches of orange and yellow, each stripe angling neatly across the seams at the shoulder and cuff. A pointed collar sits above a button front finished with fabric covered buttons, and the sleeves gather softly into the shoulder before easing towards the elbow. A self fabric belt with a matching buckle sits at the waist, cinching the fuller skirt below. The dress is sold with a teal slip cut simply with a V neckline trimmed in fine lace and a matching lace edge at the hem, giving the sheer outer layer its shape and colour.
The belted waist gives definition through the middle, and the collar and button front keep the neckline simple and open. The sleeve sits softly at the shoulder with room through the upper arm, easing towards a neat elbow length. Worn together, the slip provides the colour and the shirt dress the pattern, though the slip can also be worn on its own as a simple dress. Or wear your own slip (or, the dress over trousers) in another colour to extend your wardrobe options! The fuller skirt moves easily when walking and sitting.
