If the Georgia Dress is a garden party, the Dottie is a long weekend in the south of France. A white ground covered edge to edge in a repeat navy block print — small, graphic, botanical — with a quiet confidence that makes it one of those dresses you reach for again and again.

The V-neckline opens with an easy, relaxed elegance. Long sleeves make it a true three-season dress — light enough for a breezy summer evening, substantial enough for early fall. The smocked waist defines the silhouette, releasing into a full tiered maxi skirt that moves exactly the way a great skirt should. Hands go in the pockets. The day gets easier.

Navy and white. Block print. Smocked waist. Long sleeves. Pockets. The Dottie is already doing more work than most dresses in your closet.
