Coastal Dress

Once you have the Coastal Dress you’ll never know how your cool weather wardrobe managed without it! She’s the absolute perfect go everywhere, wear for every occasion dress.

• In seam pockets in the skirt included as standard in the price!
• Oversized marine collar adds interest and looks incredible layered with knitwear!
• Zip front with velvet tie at the neckline
• Fully lined bodice for comfort
• Shirt style sleeves add a subtle masculine element perfect for pairing with masculine styles like vests and loafers.
• Machine washable at 30C.
• In the photos Bella (she/her) is 5 foot 7, size 18, and wearing size L.
• Two 100% cotton non stretch denim fabrics available: brown and ivory cow print or burgundy and blue stripe. Denim fabrics weather naturally with time to create a soft patina; to slow this process I recommend washing cold on a delicates cycle inside out, and not washing between every wear.
• Slightly raised waistband designed to give you an elongated silhouette and hang comfortably whether you’re sitting or standing
• Made to order: please allow up to 4 weeks turnaround time for your order. This is a more sustainable method of production that allows me to offer a wider size range and creates less waste.

Who can wear this dress?

• Bloat, IBS & tummy friendly: this dress has an oversized shape which doesn’t hug the stomach
• Pregnancy friendly: I personally wore mine up to 39 weeks pregnant!
• Breastfeeding friendly: it is possible to breastfeed in this dress although it’s not specifically designed for breastfeeding (it’s just a great, versatile design)
• Petite friendly: raised waistline & shirt sleeves fit and suit all heights
• 100% cotton fabric with a fully lined bodice mean this dress is suitable for sensitive skin.

How to choose your size:

• Available in my new size range 3XS-4XL - please check the size guide (in the product photos) to find your best size.
• Choose your size based on your full bust as this is where the dress is most fitted. If you are proportionally small in the bust (i.e. narrow ribs and flatter chest) you may wish to size down. If you are full busted (like me!) and in between sizes you may wish to size up.
• This is a loose fitting dress with a loose waist. The waist measurement is similar to the bust measurement so it fits all waist sizes and shapes.
• Midaxi length: 50 inches/127cm from side of neck to hem in size S (larger sizes slightly longer). If you would like the skirt shortened for a petite length, please drop me a note in the box at checkout and I will shorten it for you for free! Please note items that have been custom-sized are non-returnable and non-exchangeable so please measure your size carefully if you would like it shortened!
