Notes

The Dayo Drawstring Dress is one of those pieces that works hard in your wardrobe.

Made from 100% cotton, it has a light but structured feel that helps the dress hold its shape without feeling heavy. The bodice is finished with pin-tuck pleat details across the front and shoulders, before it falls into a softly gathered, layered skirt.

The drawstring waist lets you adjust the fit to suit your body. Pull it in for more shape, or leave it looser for ease. Finished with a classic shirt collar, button front, short sleeves with turn-ups and side pockets.

Wear it with trainers or sandals in warmer months, or boots when the weather turns colder.

Before You Order

Will this dress fit true to size?

This dress runs large across the chest and body. It doesn't come in an XS, and our smallest size (S) already measures a generous 38" chest. We recommend sizing down from your usual size, then use the drawstring waist to adjust the fit further.

Does the fabric stretch?

No. This dress is 100% cotton with no stretch, so there's no give to rely on if you're between sizes. Check the garment measurements carefully, as sizing down is the safer choice here.

Can I adjust the fit myself?

Yes, at the waist. The drawstring can be pulled in for a closer fit or loosened for ease. The pintuck bodice itself is fixed and doesn't adjust.

How do I get it on? Is there a zip?

There's no zip. You put it on over your head, then do up the buttons from the collar down to the waist like a shirt, and adjust the drawstring waist to fit.
