Knitted air-layer fabric is the point here. The blend runs 48% viscose, 46% polyester and 6% elastane, which gives the dress body instead of the limp drape most jersey midis settle for. Crewneck, long sleeves, a waist that is actually shaped, then a full A-line skirt with pockets in the side seams. Apricot is the only colourway, and the model is still new to the catalogue, so there is little collective verdict on it yet.

The short version

Start here

Fabric with structure, not stiffness

Air-layer knit is double-faced, heavier than jersey and softer than a woven, and it holds the skirt out without a petticoat underneath. The 6% elastane keeps the bodice moving with the shoulders rather than pulling across them.

Pockets in a dressy midi

Side-seam pockets are rare on anything pitched as cocktail wear. They are here, which makes the dress workable for an office day or a church morning as well as a dinner out.

Crewneck instead of a V

The high round neck is what pushes this towards modest and towards work. It also leaves room for a statement necklace or a scarf without the layering fighting the neckline.

Fit, honestly

The bodice is shaped through the waist and the skirt is full from there, so the fit sits close on top and loose below. Simplee gives no size run in its own notes beyond a pointer to the chart; the stretch in the blend buys some tolerance either way.
