Polka Dot Peter Pan Collar Dress in Black

Polka dots and a peter pan collar, which is a combination that has never really gone away. The collar rounds off the neckline and gives the whole dress a slightly retro tilt, the dots keep it from being serious, and the black base keeps it from being costume. Long sleeves and a zipper closure finish it. This is a proper day dress that happens to be charming.

The fabric is 96% polyester, 4% elastane, and the stretch is described as slightly stretchy. That small amount of elastane is doing quiet work on a dress with a zip and a fitted waist, because it lets the body follow you rather than holding rigid. The body is not lined, so this is a lighter dress built for temperate days rather than a heavy winter piece. Zipper is the feature called out in the details.

The length runs from 33.5 inches at small through 35 inches at extra large, so it sits short rather than long. The waist spans 28.3 to 34.6 inches and the bust goes from 35.4 inches at small up to 41.7 inches at extra large. Shoulders measure 13.8 to 15 inches, and the sleeves are genuinely long at 25.6 to 26.8 inches. Sizing runs S through XL. Wear it with flat mary janes and bare legs, or with tights and ankle boots once autumn arrives. A cropped cardigan over the top keeps the collar visible, which is the detail worth showing.
