$149.00
A cotton A-line midi dress in a navy blue floral print, cut with short puff sleeves, a split neckline, and a gathered waist that releases into a full, structured skirt. The kind of dress that handles a client lunch, a wedding reception, or a summer work event without needing a second thought about what to wear underneath or over it.

- split neckline with a ruffle-edged placket and short puff sleeves with gathered sleeve heads
- gathered waist seam that defines the silhouette before flaring into the full midi skirt

How to Style It
Why It Works
A structured cotton A-line that works as a complete outfit for formal daytime and work events.
- The gathered waist seam and full A-line skirt in stiff cotton create a defined silhouette that holds its shape through a full day of wear.
- The split neckline and puff sleeves add visual interest without requiring accessories, making it a fast choice for client-facing days.
- A navy floral print reads formal enough for event dressing but relaxed enough for a summer office environment.
Use Cases
- Client lunch or daytime corporate event
- Summer wedding or garden party
- Work conference or panel presentation
- Weekend brunch with a more dressed-up occasion
Compatibility
- Pairs With: Structured blazer or linen jacket, Pointed-toe heeled pump, Structured top-handle handbag, Gold-tone stud earrings
- Outfit Contexts: Client lunch or daytime work event, Summer wedding or garden party, Conference or professional presentation
Fit Logic
- Silhouette: A-line cut with a gathered waist seam and full midi-length skirt that falls approximately to mid-calf. Short puff sleeves with gathered sleeve heads. The skirt has significant volume and structure from the stiff cotton fabric.
- Best For: Works well for petite to mid-height frames given the midi length; the defined waist seam suits those who want shape without a fitted bodice. The full skirt balances broader shoulders.
- Styling Tip: Pair with a pointed-toe kitten heel or block-heel pump in nude or tan to elongate the leg under the midi hem.
Care Notes
- Fabric: 100% Cotton
- Washing: Dry clean only
- Drying: Do not machine dry — follow dry cleaner instructions
- Ironing: If needed, press on a medium cotton setting with a pressing cloth
- Special Notes: The structured cotton fabric and gathered waist seam benefit from professional dry cleaning to maintain shape and print integrity.

Is this dress lined?
The dress is made from 100% cotton with enough body and structure to hold its shape. Based on the image, a full lining is not visible, though the fabric weight provides good coverage on its own.
How does the sizing run — should I size up?
This dress runs true to size. The gathered waist seam gives some flexibility in fit through the midsection, and the A-line skirt has a relaxed fit from the hips down.
Is this dress appropriate for a summer work event or garden wedding?
Yes. The navy floral print and midi length read formal enough for a garden wedding or daytime work event. The puff sleeve and split neckline add a polished detail without being overly dressy. A structured blazer layers cleanly over it for air-conditioned venues.
