Fleur | Button Knit Dress

A short-sleeve knit midi dress built around a full-length button placket that runs from a small stand collar to the hem. The buttons are tone-on-tone, fabric-covered, and evenly spaced across the full front panel — the closure is also the detail. The knit fabric combines a pointelle eyelet pattern in alternating vertical panels with plain ribbed sections, giving the surface texture and lightness without compromising the structure of the silhouette.

Four patch pockets sit flush against the dress — two at the chest and two at the hip — finished with the same fabric-covered buttons as the front placket. The sleeves are short with a lettuce-edge finish at the cuff, keeping the construction clean and consistent with the knit fabric throughout. The silhouette is fitted through the bodice and waist before releasing into a wide A-line skirt that falls to below the knee. It's a dress that sits at the intersection of knitwear and tailoring without fully committing to either.

Wear with pointed heeled mules and minimal jewellery for an occasion or event version. Pair with white sneakers and a denim or leather jacket for a casual daytime take. Layer under a structured longline blazer or coat for a work combination that uses the button-front detail as the visible element.
