Cotton Ruffled Shirt Dress

Rosie Assoulin crafts pieces that are equally elegant and fun—often featuring ultra-clever details, convertibility and an artful flair that she’s made uniquely hers.

The Gathered Ruffle Shirt Dress in red stripe takes a familiar silhouette and turns up the charm. Crisp menswear shirting sets the foundation, while a sculptural cascade of ruffles slices diagonally through the front, creating movement, attitude, and a flattering sense of intention. Short sleeves and a sharp collar keep it grounded and tailored. There is a confidence to this dress that feels effortless rather than loud. Polished enough to feel put together, playful enough to feel alive, it proves that stripes behave best when they are allowed a little drama.
