Ruched Midi Shirt Dress with Side Slit

The ruched midi shirt dress brings a polished shirt collar together with soft ruching through the body for a look that carries you from desk to dinner. A side slit keeps the long silhouette easy to walk in.

It is made from a smooth 100 percent polyester woven that is slightly stretchy, so it gives a little as you move without clinging. The body is unlined and the ruching gently skims the waist. Choose from black, light gray, off white and pink.

Belt it or leave it loose over sneakers for daytime, then swap in heels and gold jewelry for evening. It layers neatly under a cropped jacket when the air turns cool.

Sizing runs true, and because the ruching gathers softly at the waist there is a little forgiveness if you fall between two sizes. The collar sits open at the throat for an easy, unbuttoned line, and the midi hem lands at a length that flatters without swamping shorter frames. It is the sort of dress you reach for on the mornings you want to look pulled together in one step.

When it comes to fit, take your usual size and lean on the length and bust figures in the size guide on this page, since the waist and hip fall softly rather than fitted. A quick press with a cool iron keeps the placket looking sharp between wears.
