{"product_id":"the-dot-riviera-ruched-waist-polka-dot-dress","title":"The Dot Riviera | Ruched-Waist Polka Dot Sheath Dress","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-narrative\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA polka dot is a proportion problem before it is a print. Too large and it becomes costume, too small and it reads as texture from three metres away. This dress holds the middle: a dense, even scatter of dark dots on a yellow ground, small enough to stay graphic at distance and precise enough to reward a second look. The ground is warm rather than acid, which is what keeps the colour wearable in daylight instead of confining it to a beach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe construction is deliberately restrained so the print can lead. A crew neckline sits high and clean, the shoulders are narrow and sleeveless, and the body runs as a slim sheath from the chest to the hem with no waistband to interrupt the line. Instead of a seam, the waist is shaped by ruched folds that gather the fabric into soft vertical lines before it releases again over the hip. A zip runs down the centre back, and the fabric has no stretch, so the fit is precise rather than forgiving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength is where the piece earns its range. It runs long through the body, 74 centimetres flat at size XS up to 86 at size L, so it hangs as a column rather than stopping at the knee. That length plus the high neck reads formal enough for a summer wedding and simple enough for a weekday, depending entirely on what is worn with it. It is the kind of dress that gets bought for one event and then worn for two summers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA dot is the smallest unit of optimism.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"margin:24px 0;border:0;border-top:1px solid #ececec;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-features\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Defines It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✦ Dense, evenly spaced dot print on a warm yellow ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✦ High crew neckline with narrow sleeveless shoulders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✦ Slim sheath body with no waistband interruption\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✦ Ruched folds shaping the waist without a seam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✦ Centre-back zip and a non-stretch weave for a precise fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✦ Long column line, 74 cm at XS through 86 cm at L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✦ Sizes XS through L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline:\u003c\/strong\u003e High crew, O-neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilhouette:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slim sheath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ruched folds, no waistband\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 74 cm (XS), 78 (S), 82 (M), 86 (L), measured flat from the shoulder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleeves:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sleeveless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyester weave, non-stretch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polka dot, dark on yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Centre-back zip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slim, true to size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cold machine wash delicate, hang dry, iron on the reverse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-applications\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere It Belongs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYellow is a decision, and this shade is calibrated for people who want colour without wanting attention: warm enough to flatter most skin tones, muted enough to sit under a blazer. The long sheath line makes it a legitimate option for a summer wedding where the dress code stops short of formal, and the high neck means it needs no necklace to look finished. In cooler months it works as a base under a knit or a cropped jacket, where the dot print shows at the hem and the sleeve. It is also a dress that survives real life: the non-stretch weave holds its shape through a long day, and the print hides the kind of marks a plain white or cream dress would show by lunchtime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions Before You Commit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:15px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How yellow is it in person?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: A warm, slightly muted yellow rather than a bright primary tone, with dark dots rather than black.
