Office-first, and the detailing shows it: a round neck, a fitted bodice with decorative buttons down the front, a defined waist, and an A-line skirt with pockets in the side seams. A back zip handles getting in and out. The maker produces the pattern in seven colours and royal blue is the one carried here, a brighter choice than the navy and black most work dresses default to. The fabric is light, slightly stretchy and described as non-see-through.

What matters on this one

Start here

Pockets in a business cut

Side-seam pockets on a dress meant for meetings and interviews, where the alternative is holding a phone and a lanyard in one hand all morning. They sit in the skirt seams, so the A-line hides them when they are empty.

Buttons as trim, zip as closure

The buttons down the bodice are decorative; the actual fastening is a zip at the back. That keeps the front line unbroken and means getting dressed does not involve working through a row of buttonholes before a meeting.

Royal blue in a navy and black field

Seven colours exist in the maker's range and this listing carries royal blue. It is the one that does not vanish into a meeting room, which counts for something on a dress otherwise built to be unremarkable.

Fit, honestly

The bodice is fitted to a defined waist and the skirt flares from there, leaving room through hip and thigh. A back zip is the closure. The fabric is light with a little stretch and a smooth drape, and the maker calls it breathable and not see-through.
