Shade Blue Vine Cotton Shirt Dress

One customer plans to wear it for the evening reception of her wedding and told us: "It's perfect."

A timeless silhouette, reimagined in bold Dutch wax cotton. This tailored shirt dress features a neat collar, button-through front, and a softly gathered waist that flatters while allowing movement. The matching belt cinches the waist for definition, while the full midi-length skirt brings volume and ease.

Beautifully versatile, it can be worn buttoned up for a polished look or open as a lightweight outer layer. Every detail — from the structure of the bodice to the hidden side pockets — is designed for women who love clothes with presence and purpose.

Before You Order

What shape is the dress?

It has a fitted bodice and a softly gathered waist, with a full, flared midi skirt. Check the front, side and back photographs to see the shape before choosing.

How do I put it on?

The dress buttons down the front, so you step in and button it up.

What length are the sleeves?

The sleeves are ¾ length.

Does the fabric stretch?

No. It is 100% Dutch wax cotton, which has no stretch. This is what gives the dress its shape.

Which size should I choose?

Use the size guide and measure your chest. The bodice is fitted and the fabric has no stretch, so the dress must be a little bigger than your chest, or the buttons will pull. If you are between sizes, choose the bigger size.

How long is the dress?

It is a midi length, from 49 inches (124 cm) in size S to 51 inches (130 cm) in size XXL. Where it falls depends on your height. Our model Naran is 5' 9" and wears size S.

Still unsure about the fit?

Email help@kemitelford.com with your chest and waist measurements and your height before ordering. We'll help you choose the right size.

These measurements are for the dress, not your body. Your chest should be a little smaller than the dress chest. If you are between sizes, choose the bigger size.

Model Naran is 5' 9", with a 32" bust and 26" waist. She wears size S.
