Why It Works
The pleated eyelet bodice does the work of an accessory, so nothing else is needed to look polished.
- Broderie anglaise eyelet fabric adds visual texture and refinement without requiring embellishment or layering
- The collared neckline and button-front placket give it the credibility of tailored workwear in a warm-weather silhouette
- The A-line midi skirt balances the structured bodice and allows easy movement from a morning meeting through an evening commitment

Fit Logic
- Silhouette: Fitted through the pleated bodice and defined waist, releasing into a gently flared A-line skirt that falls at midi length, approximately below the knee
- Best For: Works well for a range of body types; the defined waist and A-line skirt balance proportions. Midi length suits petite to average heights when paired with a heel.
- Styling Tip: Pair with a pointed-toe kitten heel and a slim belt at the waist to sharpen the silhouette for a professional setting.
Care Notes
- Fabric: Eyelet cotton, broderie anglaise construction
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, or hand wash cold
- Drying: Lay flat to dry or hang dry to preserve eyelet structure
- Ironing: Iron on low heat on reverse side to protect eyelet embroidery
- Special Notes: Avoid tumble drying to prevent shrinkage and distortion of eyelet pattern
