Pintucked Bib Front Maxi Shirt Dress for Women

Maxi shirt dress with a pintucked bib front and a full length placket

A high stand collar opens onto a deep placket that buttons from the throat down to the hem. The bib is worked in fine vertical pintucks and set between plain panelled yokes, which is where the panelled construction of the design reads most clearly. Below a seam at the natural waist the skirt gathers into a wide sweep that moves with the wearer, and side seam pockets are hidden in the drape. Long blouson sleeves gather into a buttoned cuff.

Features

• Collar: High stand collar with a deep V opening.

• Front: Button through placket running the full length.

• Bodice: Pintucked bib framed by panelled yokes.

• Sleeves: Long blouson sleeves with buttoned cuffs.

• Skirt: Gathered at the waist seam, floor sweeping.

• Pockets: Two pockets set into the side seams.

Texture & Finish

The cloth is lightly slubbed and loosely woven, with an airy fall and a fluid drape from the waist seam down. The pintucks add a fine vertical rib across the bib, and the finish is matte with no print or embellishment.

Fit & Sizing

The bodice sits close through the shoulder and rib while the skirt is full and unrestricted. The length is drafted to reach the floor, so taller wearers may find it grazes the ankle instead. Check the size chart before choosing your size.

Styling & Occasion

Holiday days, garden gatherings and wedding guest occasions all suit it. Button it fully and wear with flat sandals, or leave the placket open over a swimsuit on the beach. Stacked bracelets and a beaded necklace pick up the relaxed line.

Care

• Machine wash cool on a gentle cycle.
• Wash separately for the first few washes.
• Line dry in the shade to keep the drape.
• Iron on a low setting, pressing the pintucks flat.
