Striped Bodycon Maxi Dress in Blue

A striped bodycon maxi dress in blue that does the work of a whole outfit. The stripes run the length of a close fitted column, and a tie detail gives the waist a defined point to gather around. It is the kind of piece you reach for when you want to look considered without spending twenty minutes deciding.

The fabric is a 95% polyester and 5% elastane blend and it is slightly stretchy, which is what lets a fitted dress stay comfortable across a long day rather than reminding you it is there. It is not lined. Length sits at about 54.3 inches at size S and reaches 55.5 inches at size XL, so it falls long on most frames. The waist is cut with real give, measuring 26.4 to 38.6 inches at size S, so the dress moves with you when you sit, walk or reach.

Because the shape is simple, styling can go anywhere. White sneakers and a denim jacket keep it low key for daytime. A strappy heeled sandal, gold hoops and a small shoulder bag lift the same dress into dinner. A linen shirt worn open over the top makes a light layer for breezy evenings, and a long cardigan works when the temperature drops. Sizes run S through XL.
