Product Details

Shirt Dress in vibrant print.

The Joia Shirt Dress is a midi-length, button-through shirt dress with a shirt collar. The short sleeve has a capped effect thanks to the dropped shoulder, and the dress also has side seam pockets. The dress has exposed buttons to the waist seam and concealed buttons from the waist to the hem. The full skirt is gathered at the waist seam, and can be unbuttoned up the waist seam. Crafted from viscose, this dress has a silky hand feel and drapes fluidly. Style note: this print is yardage, so each piece has a unique print placement.
