Why It Works
Two distinct fabrics cut into one clean silhouette eliminate the need to layer or accessorize for a polished result.
- The mixed media construction pairs a stretch polyester-elastane bodice with a cotton-elastane skirt, delivering structure at the top and ease of movement below in a single pull-on garment.
- The self-tie waist and ruffle cap sleeves provide visual detail that reads as intentional dressing, reducing the need to add jewelry or a belt separately.
- The 51 7/8-inch midi length works across professional settings and evening occasions without requiring a change of outfit.

Fit Logic
- Silhouette: Fitted crew-neck bodice with cap ruffle sleeves transitions to a full, sweeping A-line skirt at the natural waist. Midi length falls at approximately 51 7/8 inches. The tie waist defines the midsection without constricting.
- Best For: Designed for plus size proportions. The fitted bodice and full skirt create a defined waist-to-hip ratio. The midi length is particularly flattering for petite-to-average height in this size range when paired with a heel.
- Styling Tip: Anchor the skirt's volume with a low block heel or kitten heel pump to keep the silhouette elongated rather than overwhelming.
Care Notes
- Fabric: Bodice: 95% Polyester, 5% Elastane. Skirt: 98% Cotton, 2% Elastane.
- Washing: Dry clean only
- Drying: Do not machine dry; follow dry cleaner guidance
- Ironing: If needed, press on a low setting through a pressing cloth; avoid direct heat on the polyester bodice
- Special Notes: The mixed media construction — stretch knit bodice and woven cotton skirt — requires professional dry cleaning to preserve both fabric types equally.
