Office-first, in a single teal blue. The cut is fit and flare, knee length, sleeveless, with a boat neckline that keeps the shoulder line wide and covered. A belt comes with it and comes off again, two pockets sit in the side seams, and the closure is a short zip at the back of the neck. Still new to the catalogue, with only a handful of reviews behind it so far.

What the belted boat neck work dress actually does

Belt on for a cocktail hour, belt off for a Tuesday; the dress is designed around that swap.

1

The belt detaches

It is supplied with the dress and not sewn in. Belted, the waist is marked and the skirt reads as fit and flare; without it, the same dress is a plain A-line. The maker also asks that the belt come off before a wash cycle, because of the metal buckle.

2

Back neck zip

A short zip at the nape rather than a full-length one down the spine. It is enough to get the boat neckline over the head and it leaves the back of the dress uninterrupted, which is the usual reason for putting a zip there.

3

Knee length for an office

The hem lands at the knee and the neckline is high and wide. That combination is what moves the dress out of occasion wear: the listing names work events first and semi-formal gatherings second, including the sober ones where a plain dress is expected.

Fit, honestly

Fit and flare: close through the bodice, released from the waist, finishing at the knee. Sleeveless with a boat neck. The removable belt is the only adjustment and the back neck zip is the only closure.
