Petite Military Trim Rib Knit Collared Maxi Dress

Structured pointed collar with military-inspired chest flap pockets, finished with ornate gold-tone button detailing for a refined, utilitarian edge Fine rib knit construction throughout, offering a sleek, body-skimming silhouette that moves beautifully with the figure Fluted hem with panelled godet inserts at the skirt, creating a graceful, swirling finish that adds movement to the maxi length Short sleeves with a V-neckline beneath the collar, striking the perfect balance between polished structure and understated ease Petite-specific proportions ensure the length, collar placement and hem fall are precisely calibrated for a shorter frame This dress is the kind of piece that works effortlessly across a range of occasions without ever looking like it's trying too hard. The military collar and gold-tone buttons bring a considered, structured quality that makes it entirely appropriate for a smart lunch, a gallery opening, or an evening out at a sophisticated restaurant. The fluted hem softens the overall look, lending it a sense of occasion without veering into overtly formal territory. Style it as the model does - with block-heeled leather mules and a structured leather bag - for a look that is thoroughly put-together. For cooler days, layer a tailored longline coat over the top to maintain the clean, refined silhouette. Those who prefer a more dressed-up approach can opt for pointed-toe heels and understated gold jewellery to complement the button detailing. This is a dress that rewards considered dressing and suits the woman who values craftsmanship and form in equal measure.
