Black Pleated Maxi Shirt Dress for Fall Weddings and Holiday Evenings

Lucille is a black dress for women that pairs classic shirt-dress tailoring with a soft, flowing silhouette. Fine pleats run from the collar to the hem, and a wide corset-style waistband with gold-tone buttons defines the waist before the skirt opens into a full A-line sweep. Wear it as a fall wedding guest dress, a holiday dress for dinners and parties, or a polished choice for the office.

Care

Gentle cold wash or hand wash, then hang to dry to help the pleats keep their shape. Avoid high heat when ironing and check the care label before washing.

Size & Fit

The photos show a fitted waistband with a softly gathered bodice and a loose, flowing skirt. The waist is the closest-fitting area, so choose your size by your waist; if you are between sizes or prefer more ease at the waist, size up.

Good to know

• Color: colors can look slightly different depending on lighting and your screen settings.
• Measurements: sizes are measured by hand, so small differences of 1–3 cm are possible.
• Creases from shipping: light creases from packaging fall out after a day on a hanger or with a little steam.
