Knit Maxi Dress - Puff Sleeve Scalloped Collar Fishtail Hem

A ribbed knit midi dress that puts most of its design effort into a single detail: a contrast scalloped collar in a lighter tone that sits wide and flat across the shoulders, framing the V-neck opening and the full button-front placket below. The collar is large enough to register as intentional from a distance and finishes with a scalloped edge that adds a decorative quality without softening the overall construction. Everything below it — the ribbed bodice, the gold-tone buttons, the four patch pockets, the flared skirt — reads as structured and considered.

The button placket runs the full length of the dress from collar to hem, with evenly spaced gold-tone buttons throughout. Four patch pockets sit at the chest and hip, each with a button tab that matches the front placket. The sleeves are short with a puff at the shoulder, tapering quickly to the elbow — enough volume to register without competing with the collar for attention. The silhouette is fitted through the bodice and waist before the ribbed skirt flares into an A-line that falls below the knee, with a centre-front split at the hem.

Wear with pointed heeled boots and a structured coat for a work or occasion combination. Pair with flat leather loafers and a tote for a smart daytime version. The collar works as a standalone accessory effect — no additional jewellery at the neckline is needed.
