Polished on top, carefree underneath

You look like you are wearing a smart shirt dress, and that is exactly the point. Nobody needs to know about the shorts underneath, but you will feel the difference all day: no tugging at the hem, no careful sitting, no worrying about a breeze. You feel chic, relaxed and completely free to get on with the day, from a brunch in town to an afternoon on the move. It is the outfit that simply works.

Roomy sleeves, a waist you control

The sleeves are generous and drop from the shoulder, so your arms never feel restricted, and you can roll the cuffs up when the sun comes out. The drawstring at the waist lets you decide how much shape you want, from a gentle gather to a defined line. The fabric has a soft sheen that drapes rather than clings, and the curved hem keeps the front looking like a proper dress.

Autumn brunches and city weekends

For a weekend in town, wear it with tall boots and a crossbody bag: coffee, a gallery, a wander through the shops, a glass of wine before dinner. In summer, swap the boots for sandals and a straw bag and it goes to the beach café or a holiday lunch. It is one of those pieces that works from September to May, and again whenever the sun comes back. Truly a year-round favourite.

Your questions about this piece

Choose your usual UK size: the range runs from S (UK 8) to 5XL (UK 22). The cut is relaxed and the drawstring adjusts the waist, so if you are between two sizes the smaller one is usually fine.

Yes, the shorts are part of the garment, hidden under the dress-like front, so you get the look of a shirt dress with the freedom of shorts.

Your order is prepared within 24 to 48 hours, then delivered in 8 to 15 days; costs and the free-delivery threshold are shown in your basket. You have 14 days from delivery to return it.

Polished, comfortable, in UK sizes

We choose pieces that look polished and feel comfortable from the first wear: boots for wet pavements, knits for chilly mornings, dresses for the days that matter.

Sizes are given in UK measurements, payment is secure, and if something is not quite right, you have 14 days to send it back.
