Slate Grey Side Button Midi Dress
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear this dress to the office and then straight to dinner?
Yes. The fit-and-flare cut with sharp pleats reads polished enough for a workday, and the slate grey tone pairs with a blazer or a structured bag for desk hours. Swap in heeled sandals and a clutch for the evening and the silhouette holds up without needing a change of outfit. The Label Life tags this dress under both Workwear and DinnerWear for exactly this reason.
How long is the dress, and where does it fall on the body?
The length is 44 inches. On most frames that lands at or just below mid-calf, which is the classic midi point. The flared hem means the skirt fans out from the waist rather than falling straight, so it moves when you walk rather than restricting your stride.
What does the 95% polyester / 5% viscose blend actually feel like?
The polyester base keeps the dress structured and wrinkle-resistant, which matters for a full workday. The 5% viscose pulls the hand-feel away from stiff or plasticky and adds a light drape so the skirt falls smoothly over the hips. It won't feel as breathable as pure cotton, but it holds its shape through back-to-back meetings far better.
What sizes are available?
The dress comes in six sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, and XXL. The model in the product images is wearing size S, which gives you a reference point for how the silhouette sits. If you're between sizes, the flared hem means you can size up through the bodice without the skirt losing its shape.
What role do the pleats and side button detail actually play?
The sharp pleats at the front are structural. They create the volume in the skirt that gives the fit-and-flare shape its definition and help the hem hold its flare rather than drooping flat over time. The side button detail follows the pleat line and reinforces the vertical structure of the dress. These aren't decorative additions after the fact; they're what keeps the silhouette looking intentional wear after wear.
How do I wash this dress?
Machine wash. The polyester-viscose blend handles a regular machine cycle well, which is a practical advantage for a dress you're likely wearing multiple times a week. Check the care label for temperature guidance before the first wash.
