Women's White Petite Rib Knit Military Trim Maxi Dress

Rib knit construction throughout, with a fine vertical texture on the fitted bodice that transitions into a smooth, sweeping maxi skirt with a graceful A-line silhouette Distinctive military-inspired detailing including ornate gold-tone buttons running down the centre front and twin chest pockets, lending a structured, tailored character to the knitted fabric Rounded neckline and elbow-length sleeves offer a refined, modest cut that balances the body-skimming fit of the upper half Fitted waist with a defined seam where the ribbed bodice meets the fuller skirt, creating a naturally sculpted shape without restriction Petite-specific cut with a centre back length of approximately 138cm, designed to flatter a shorter frame without compromising the maxi-length proportions This maxi dress is a masterclass in considered dressing - the kind of piece that works as hard as you do. The military-trim detailing gives it a sharp, intentional edge that sets it apart from a standard knit dress, making it equally at home in a polished office environment as it is at a smart lunch or an evening occasion that calls for understated sophistication. Style it as the model does, with sleek heeled mules to let the dress take centre stage, keeping accessories minimal - a structured leather bag and simple gold jewellery will complement the button detailing beautifully. For cooler days, layer a tailored longline coat over the top to maintain the elongated silhouette. Whether worn to a gallery opening, a client dinner, or a weekend occasion that demands a little more thought, this dress offers a versatile foundation for a wardrobe built on quality and craftsmanship.
