Descrizione
A polka dot is not a pattern. It is a mood, and it has been the same mood since the 1950s.
What makes it work is proportion. Small dots read as texture from a distance and as pattern up close, which is why a polka-dot maxi can be worn to a lunch and to a wedding without changing anything but the shoes. This dress runs a button placket from the deep V neckline to the hem, with sleeves that roll to the elbow and side slits that open when you walk rather than when you sit.
The fabric is a four-way stretch polyester, chosen because a maxi length in a stiff weave is a dress you sit carefully in and a maxi length in a stretch weave is a dress you forget you are wearing. It does not fade in the wash, does not need ironing out of a suitcase, and falls in a straight A-line that skims rather than grips. The belt is included, and it is the difference between a shapeless column and a defined waist.
Sizing runs S to XXL in four colourways, with lengths graded from 115 to 118 centimetres across the range. The deep V is cut to be wearable without alteration: high enough to stay put when you lean, low enough to do the job the neckline was designed for. It is a summer dress that behaves like a good shirt.
One pattern, one belt, and a dress that goes from the beach bar to the restaurant without a change.
Why the Cut Works
Four decisions that keep a printed maxi from looking like a beach cover-up.
- ✦ Four-way stretch polyester that moves and does not crease in a suitcase
- ✦ Full button placket from a deep V neckline to the hem
- ✦ Roll-up sleeves that sit at the elbow without needing a cuff tab
- ✦ Side slits positioned to open when walking, not when sitting
- ✦ Matching belt included, for defining the waist on a straight A-line
- ✦ Length graded 115 to 118 cm, so the hem clears the ankle across sizes

Sizing Chart
Measured flat, in centimetres. Bust: S 92, M 96, L 100, XL 104, XXL 108. Shoulder: S 40, M 41, L 42, XL 43, XXL 44. Sleeve: S 49, M 50, L 51, XL 52, XXL 53. Length: S 115, M 116, L 117, XL 118, XXL 119.
The straight A-line means the waist is not the constraint, so size on the bust. If you intend to wear it belted and fitted, your normal size is correct; if you want it to hang loose as a summer cover-up, one size up adds drape without changing the shoulder.
Where It Goes
Beach bars, garden lunches, holiday dinners, outdoor weddings with a relaxed dress code, and any summer day that starts at a market and ends at a restaurant. The maxi length and the button front make it adaptable: worn open over a swimsuit it is a cover-up, buttoned and belted it is a dress, and worn with the sleeves rolled and sandals it is the version that gets the most use.
Ordering Notes
Q: Is the belt included?
Yes. A matching belt is included with the dress. It is the piece that turns a straight A-line into a defined waist.
Q: Does the deep V gap?
The placket buttons from the V down to the hem, and the stretch weave holds the neckline against the body. It stays put when you lean; the closure is functional, not decorative.
Q: Will the print fade in the wash?
The fabric is finished to resist fading in cold washing. Hot water and bleach will dull it, so keep to cold cycles.
Q: How tall does the maxi run?
Between 115 and 118 centimetres from the shoulder for S to XL, which lands at the ankle on most people between 160 and 170 centimetres and just above it on taller frames.
Q: Is it see-through in sunlight?
The weave is dense enough to be opaque in solid light. In strong backlighting a light colourway will show the silhouette, as most summer polyester does.
Q: Can I wear it in early autumn?
Yes, with a jacket and boots. The long sleeve makes it a three-season dress in mild climates, which is unusual for a printed maxi.
