Maxi Shirt Dress with Draped Skirt and Wide Waist Belt

A shirt dress with real presence: sharp through the collar, defined at the waist and fluid through the skirt.

Unlike a straight-cut maxi, this style uses a low open shirt neckline, a wide black waist belt and soft gathering through the front skirt to create a more sculpted line. The model images show the bodice sitting clean through the shoulders before falling into a long draped skirt, while the close-up makes the contrast belt and button-through front easy to see below the waist. That balance of structure and movement makes it stronger for polished dinners, events and dressed-up workwear than a casual everyday shirt dress.

UK Size Guide

Approximate UK conversion: S = UK 8, M = UK 10, L = UK 12, XL = UK 14, XXL = UK 16, XXXL = UK 18. Use your bust and waist together for the best fit. The fabric looks woven rather than stretchy, so if you are between sizes or fuller through the bust, choose the next size up.

Please allow a 1-3 cm difference due to manual measurement.

FAQs

Is the neckline as low as it looks?

Yes. This is an open shirt-style V rather than a buttoned-up office collar, which is a big part of the look shown in the photos. If you prefer more coverage, a camisole or fashion tape will help.

Does it come with the wide belt?

Yes. The dress is designed to be worn with the wide contrast waist belt shown in the images, and it makes a noticeable difference to the shape by breaking up the long silhouette and pulling in the waist.

Is the skirt clingy or stiff?

Neither. The gathered front gives the skirt movement and a softer drape, so it does not hang like a rigid column. At the same time, it is a woven style rather than a stretchy jersey bodycon, so expect a more structured fit through the bodice and waist.

Care

• Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colours
• Turn inside out before washing to protect any prints or embellishments
• Do not tumble dry — line dry to keep the fabric’s shape
• Iron on a low setting if needed; do not iron over prints
• Do not bleach
