Black Cotton Shift Dress with Bow Brooch
A simple black cotton shift, cut straight from shoulder to hem, with one detail that changes the whole read: a fabric bow in white polka dot, pinned at the chest and made to come off. Worn plain, it is a workwear dress; with the brooch on, it has somewhere to go after five.
Fabric & feel
100% cotton, made in Italy by Tensione In. A dense, matte cotton with enough body to hold the shift's straight line rather than cling — no stretch, no shine, which is exactly what makes it read as easy rather than trying. The dress has functioning internal pockets, and the polka-dot bow attaches with a pin so it comes off cleanly for a plainer day.
Fit & sizing
Short sleeves, a round neck and a straight, unfitted cut that falls to just above the knee — a true shift, with no waist seam to size around. Available in S and M, in black or beige. Convert Italian sizing with the fit and sizing guide.
How to wear it
Photographed with the brooch on and bare legs, which is the simplest version of the dress at its most useful — office by day, dinner by evening, changed only by shoes and a lip color. Take the brooch off and add a blazer for a version that reads purely as workwear. See the rest of our day dresses.
