Button Front Half Sleeve Shirt Dress in Light Blue

The button front shirt dress is the quiet workhorse of a good wardrobe, and this one in light blue makes the case plainly. Buttons run down the front, the sleeves stop at half length, and the whole thing hangs in a relaxed line that never asks anything of you. Throw it on and you are dressed.

The fabric is a soft 95% rayon and 5% polyester blend with no stretch, so it falls rather than clings and keeps a fluid drape through the skirt. The front buttons let you decide how open or closed you want the neckline, and how much of the length you want to leave loose. Bust runs from about 43.3 inches at size S to 49.2 inches at size XL, a generous cut that leaves room to move. Length measures roughly 47.6 to 48.8 inches across the range, so it falls long.

This is a dress that takes direction well. Left loose with flat sandals it is a genuine warm weather throw on. Add a belt at the waist and suddenly it has a shape and reads sharper for lunch or the office. Sneakers make it a weekend errand dress. Worn fully open over a tank and shorts it turns into a light layer for the beach or a hot afternoon. It comes in light blue and sizes S through XL.
