Women's Red V-Neck Button Down Knitted Maxi Dress

Ribbed knit construction runs the full length of the dress, giving it a structured stretch that follows the body without clinging too tightly. Three decorative buttons sit at the V-neckline, adding a considered detail that breaks up the otherwise clean silhouette. Maxi length with a fitted hem that skims just above the ankle - long enough to feel covered, shaped enough to stay interesting. Long sleeves with a neat ribbed cuff finish the look cleanly, making this as practical as it is put-together through cooler months. The viscose and polyamide blend gives the knit a soft drape and cool handfeel, sitting against the body without bulk or stiffness. The ribbed knit pulls the dress into a close but comfortable fit - it moves with you rather than against you, which is exactly what you want when you're wearing something from brunch through to an afternoon catch-up. The maxi length does the heavy lifting here, keeping the overall look relaxed and well-covered while the fitted silhouette ensures it reads as intentional rather than oversized. Style it as the model does, with knee-high suede boots - the boot shaft disappearing under the hem creates a seamless line that works particularly well in autumn and winter. For a more casual daytime feel, flat ankle boots or simple leather loafers are an easy swap. Layer a longline coat over the top for family gatherings or a baby shower, where you want to look considered without being overdressed. A simple shoulder bag and minimal jewellery keep the accessories from competing with the textured knit. This is a dress that earns its place in regular rotation. | Dorothy Perkins Women's V-Neck Button Down Knitted Maxi Dress in Berry | Size: Small Colour: red
