Shirt dress is a dress cut on the principle of a classic shirt: with a collar, a button placket (often full-length) and, frequently, cuffs and a chest pocket. This cut combines the crispness and neatness of a shirt with the comfort and femininity of a dress. The silhouette may be straight, loose or emphasised with a waist belt. The shirt dress is a versatile wardrobe classic: appropriate at the office, on a walk and on holiday, depending on the fabric and accessories. It was popularised by Christian Dior, and its aesthetic was taken up by countless brands. It is made of cotton, denim, linen, silk. Shirt dress is a silhouette of practical, effortless elegance, in which a shirt cut combines business concision with comfort and femininity, creating a versatile, neat and invariably appropriate look for any occasion.
