Navy Tape Detail Coat Dress
Navy Tape Detail Coat Dress
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this different from a regular shirt dress?
Two details set it apart. First, the grosgrain tape runs along the front, adding a structured, ribbon-like trim that gives the dress a tailored finish you won't find on a plain cotton dress. Second, the collar construction gives the neckline a polished, coat-style shape rather than a casual open collar. Together, they read as intentional workwear, not just a casual day dress.
How does the grosgrain tape detail actually look on the dress?
Grosgrain tape is a tightly woven, ribbed ribbon with a matte finish. On this dress, it appears as a contrasting or tonal trim that outlines the front opening, giving the coat-dress silhouette a clean, defined edge. It's the kind of detail that photographs well and reads as a considered design choice rather than decoration.
What type of collar does the dress have?
The dress features a structured collar, consistent with a coat-dress construction. It sits close to the neckline and holds its shape, which keeps the look polished whether you're wearing it open or buttoned up through a meeting.
Does the belt come included, and can I wear the dress without it?
Yes, the belt is included with the dress. It's an additional piece, so you can wear the dress without it for a straighter, more relaxed coat-dress silhouette, or cinch it at the waist to define your shape. Both looks work.
How long is the dress, and what silhouette does it create?
The dress falls at 42 inches, which puts the hem at midi length for most heights. The coat-dress cut means it skims the body with structure rather than clinging, giving good coverage through the knee. That length and cut work for desk hours and carry through to dinner without looking overdressed or underdressed.
What sizes are available?
The dress is available in six sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, and XXL. The model shown wears size S.
