{"product_id":"the-meridian-knit-bandage-sheath-dress","title":"The Meridian | Knit Bandage Sheath Dress with Turtleneck","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-narrative\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bandage dress is a structural argument, not a fabric choice. The horizontal knit bands are there to hold a line across the body, which is why the silhouette either works completely or fails visibly. The Meridian is built the way the original idea intended: a dense polyester and elastane knit wound into horizontal bands, a sheath profile that follows the torso without gripping, and a mid-calf length that gives the structure somewhere to resolve. The turtleneck finishes the neckline into a single unbroken column from throat to hem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat separates a dress like this from shapewear with sleeves is where the tension sits. Here it sits in the knit, not against the skin. The bands carry the shaping, the medium-stretch gauge holds its recovery through a full evening of sitting and standing, and the back zip means you are not negotiating the dress over your shoulders to get into it. The empire waistline is placed high, which lengthens the leg line and keeps the volume above the hip rather than through it. Full-length sleeves balance the midi hem so the dress reads as a single proportion rather than two halves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe color story is narrow on purpose. Burgundy, purple, and black are the three tones that survive evening light without turning muddy, and each one holds saturation in a dense knit where a lighter shade would go flat. Wear it with a boot and it is a winter dress. Wear it with a heel and it is an evening one. The knit is a synthetic blend precisely because natural fibers relax under this much structure; a wool bandage dress looks correct on the hanger and tired by the second hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe body does not need to be corrected. The line needs to be drawn.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"margin:26px 0;border:0;border-top:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-features\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;margin:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;color:#333;\"\u003e✦ Horizontal bandage knit construction that carries the shaping in the fabric rather than through compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;color:#333;\"\u003e✦ Turtleneck neckline creating an unbroken line from throat to hem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;color:#333;\"\u003e✦ Sheath silhouette with a high empire waistline to lengthen the leg line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;color:#333;\"\u003e✦ Medium-stretch polyester and elastane knit with reliable recovery after wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;color:#333;\"\u003e✦ Concealed back zip for step-in dressing without pulling over the shoulders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;color:#333;\"\u003e✦ Mid-calf length that balances the full-length sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;color:#333;\"\u003e✦ Offered in burgundy, purple and black, sizes XS through XL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-specs\" style=\"margin-top:26px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;margin:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;color:#333;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyester and elastane knit blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;color:#333;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Horizontal bandage knit, medium stretch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;color:#333;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilhouette:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sheath, slim fit, T-profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;color:#333;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline:\u003c\/strong\u003e Turtleneck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;color:#333;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaistline:\u003c\/strong\u003e Empire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;color:#333;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleeves:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full length, regular fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;color:#333;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-calf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;color:#333;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Concealed back zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;color:#333;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Burgundy, Purple, Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;color:#333;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand wash cold or gentle cycle, dry flat, do not tumble dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-applications\" style=\"margin-top:26px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere It Belongs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the dress for the evening that has a dress code but not a theme: a winter wedding where the ceremony is outdoors and the reception is not, a firm dinner where the room is warm and the walk there is not, a birthday at a restaurant with low light and no coat check. The midi hem and full sleeve make it wearable from October through March without a wrap, and the turtleneck removes the need for a necklace, which is one fewer decision at the end of a long day. In burgundy it reads formal. In black it reads deliberately plain, which is its own kind of statement. In purple it is the dress people comment on before they comment on anything else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-faq\" style=\"margin-top:26px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions, Answered\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does the bandage knit stretch out?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No. The elastane content gives it medium stretch with strong recovery, which is why it is a synthetic blend rather than a natural fiber. Dry it flat and it will hold its shape across seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is it see-through?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No. The knit is dense and fully opaque. Lighter shades in this gauge can go slightly sheer under strong backlight, which is why the palette stops at burgundy, purple and black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How does it fit compared to standard sizing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: It runs true to size with a close fit through the torso by design. If you are between sizes, take the larger one, because the bands do not have slack to give at the waist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can it be machine washed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: A cold gentle cycle in a mesh bag is fine. Hand washing extends the life of the knit considerably, and the dress must be dried flat rather than hung, since hanging wet weight will pull the bands out of alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is a bra required?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The knit is thick enough that it is not transparent, but the sheath profile shows seams.

The midi hem sits above the ankle, so the leg line works with a boot as readily as with a pump, which is the practical advantage of this length over a
