Women's Long Sleeve Mini Shirt Dress with Ruched Side Skirt | Nolie

Long Sleeve Mini Shirt Dress With a Ruched Skirt

Shirt tailoring on top, ruching below

Few pieces manage to be polished and bold at once. This long sleeve mini shirt dress does both: the top looks like a classic button-down, while the skirt follows the body without asking permission.

Ruching along the side adds texture to the skirt and softly hides what you do not want to show. It is an old tailoring trick, and it still works.

• Mini length well above the knee
• V-neck with buttons, open as much as you like
• Ruched skirt with a long tie at the side
• Long sleeves with buttoned cuffs

Polyester and Elastane With Medium Stretch

Fluid on top, firm in the skirt

The blend of polyester and elastane gives the fabric medium stretch. It follows the movement in the fitted skirt and returns to shape, so it does not sag after a few hours.

Up top, the weave is lighter and slightly sheer. Look closely at the photos: the sleeve has the fluid air of a silk shirt.

• Polyester with elastane for medium stretch
• Fluid drape in the sleeves, firm in the skirt
• Holds its shape after washing
• Light enough for travel and a small suitcase

Shirt Collar, Buttons and Side Ruching

Tailored details from collar to hem

The collar is a true shirt collar, with a firm stand and sharp points. Buttons run aligned from the collar down to the waist, where the piece changes personality.

From there the ruching climbs the side and ends in a long tie that falls loose. This detail is what sets this shirt dress apart from any other.

• Structured shirt collar that looks good open
• Front buttons with reinforced buttonholes
• Side ruching with a long cascading tie
• Straight hem with no heavy lining

How to Wear Your Mini Shirt Dress

From happy hour to a night out

With thin-heeled sandals and a small bag, it is ready for dinner and a night out. Black brings a sober look that never misses.

By day, close one more button and switch to flat sandals. The same shirt dress shifts tone with no effort. If you work in a relaxed office, choose the softer color and it works there too.

• Dinners, parties and nights out
• Happy hour and birthdays
• Travel and city weekends
• Transitional weather with short boots
