Velvet Rebel

The Velvet Rebel Shirt Dress

There’s nothing quite like a big, billowy shirt dress to make you feel like you’re halfway between Bondi bohemian and high-society rock star. A study in pure drama, this bold shirt dress is all about the wild romance of tactile velvet, an oversized silhouette with a softly tailored hem, and sleeves so ballooned you’ll struggle not to monologue Shakespearean love poetry every time you raise your arm. It has got chest pockets (massive ones, at that) that look very much like you could fit an entire phone and lipstick or five in there - but nobody wants to see those outlines, so don’t go stuffing things in them. Designed to be worn as a statement mini dress or as a chic layer over strappy tops and lingerie when there’s a distinct lack of chill - like the next time your mate hosts an impromptu dinner party. A classic collar and concealed buttons balance out the exaggerated sleeves and the oversized fit makes for plush comfort on any occasion. The velvet is slightly stretchy too, by the way - so eating a full meal before you go out for drinks and dessert? No worries at all. Now about where one might wear this shirt dress… Well it doesn’t really matter because there isn’t a single place this piece wouldn’t be considered highly appropriate attire.
