{"product_id":"the-meridian-contrast-flare-dress","title":"The Meridian | Boat-Neck Interlock Contrast Flare Dress","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-narrative\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;\"\u003eA dress that works on a Tuesday and on a wedding guest list is rare, and the reason is almost never the design. It is the fabric. Knitted interlock holds a shape without stiffness, returns to its line after being sat in, and moves with the body instead of standing away from it, which is why this dress can be worn to an office in the morning and to a table in the evening without changing anything but the shoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;\"\u003eThe boat neck is the other decision that earns its place. It sits wide across the collarbone rather than cutting across the throat, so it lengthens the neck and keeps the shoulder line clean, and it works with a necklace or without one. The contrast panel placement is what gives the dress its architecture: a single shift in tone marks the waist and lets the skirt flare from a defined point instead of falling from the bust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;\"\u003eInterlock is a double-knit, which means two faces are knitted together in one cloth. It does not curl at the hem, it does not twist in the wash, and it does not go transparent when you sit down. That is the quiet argument for this dress over a cheaper single-jersey alternative: it keeps its geometry after a season, and the flare at the skirt stays a flare rather than collapsing into a straight tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSome dresses are designed to be noticed.

A morning of meetings and a dinner that follows. A christening and a lunch. Travel, where one piece has to cover three situations in a week.

Because the knit has two-way stretch the neckline holds its position without tape or elastic, and it stays level rather than dropping at the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 5px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will the contrast panel suit a short waist?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;\"\u003eYes, and it is the reason the panel is placed high.
