Description

There’s a reason a great shirt dress earns its place in the wardrobe – it can take you almost anywhere. The Pace Dress is crafted from Mela Purdie's lightweight Microprene, a crisp cotton-rich fabric with comfortable stretch and a beautifully polished finish. The relaxed silhouette can be cinched at the waist with the matching tie or worn loose for an easy, modern shape, while the midi length and crisp collar keep everything looking refined. Side pockets add everyday practicality and the short sleeves can be rolled for an even more relaxed feel. Add sandals for spring lunches and weekends, or dress it up with a heel and jewellery when the occasion calls for something smarter.
