Sills Made in New Zealand Draped Midi Dress in Dusty Blue, Size 10

Purchase Protection & Refund Policy

Made in New Zealand and finished in a muted dusty blue, this dress has an easy, quietly sculptural silhouette that sits somewhere between a relaxed T-shirt dress and a softly draped cocoon style. It is simple at first glance, but the interest is all in the fabric contrast, panel placement and the way the lower half falls around the body. The upper section is cut from a soft stretch jersey with a smooth, fluid handle. It has a gently scooped neckline and short relaxed sleeves. From approximately the high waist, the dress transitions into a lighter, more fluid woven fabrication, creating a subtle change in texture without interrupting the monochromatic look. The lower half is generously cut and softly gathered, giving the dress movement. Curved seam lines through the skirt create gentle volume and shape, while the rounded hem gives the silhouette a slightly cocooned finish. The result is relaxed, feminine and architectural rather than traditionally fitted. This is the kind of dress that looks better on the body than it does on a hanger because the construction is designed around movement. The fabric falls away from the body and the subtle volume through the skirt gives it that effortless, slightly arty designer feel. The color is particularly lovely: a softened smoky blue with a hint of aqua blue, easy to wear year-round and very flattering with neutral accessories. Fabric. Main: 62% rayon / 38% viscose. Contrast: 92% viscose / 8% spandex. The fabric combination gives the dress a very soft, fluid drape with a gentle amount of stretch through the jersey areas. For an easy everyday look, wear it with white leather sneakers or flat tan sandals, a simple crossbody bag and minimal jewelry. The silhouette already has enough character, so it does not need much styling. For a more elevated look, pair it with black ankle boots, a cropped structured jacket and jewelry. The dusty blue works beautifully against black and charcoal, and the contrast between the soft dress and sharper accessories gives it a more contemporary edge. It would also work beautifully in warmer weather with flat leather slides, a woven tote and oversized sunglasses.
