Lucia | Lace Detail Shirt Dress

Two lengths in one dress — short at the front where length only gets in your way, long at the back where you actually want the cover.

Most dresses ask you to pick a side. Short enough to move in means short enough that you are adjusting it every time you sit down; long enough to feel covered usually means long enough to wear you rather than the other way around. The Lucia refuses the choice. The hem sits just above the knee at the front and sweeps down well below the calf at the back and sides, so the backs of your legs are covered while the front stays light and easy and shows a boot. It buttons from the collar all the way to the hem, which means it goes on like a shirt — nothing over the head, no zip behind you — and it can be left open over jeans as a long layer instead. The only decoration is two lace panels on the bodice, one either side of the buttons, keeping the eye up near the collar and the face; everything below is plain, soft cotton. Below the lace the fabric gathers and releases, so the whole skirt falls away from just under the bust with no waistband, no belt and no seam drawing a line across your middle. The sleeves are long and full to the wrist, where they gather into a small ruffled cuff.

Why you'll love the Lucia

• ✔ A hem that does both — above the knee at the front, sweeping below the calf at the back
• ✔ Buttons all the way down — nothing over the head, no zip you can't reach
• ✔ Lace only at the chest — the eye goes up toward your face, not across you
• ✔ Nothing at the waist — it falls loose from just under the bust
• ✔ Arms covered — full long sleeves gathered into a ruffle cuff, not a bell
• ✔ Two ways to wear it — closed as a dress, open over jeans as a long layer
