Resort Shirt Dress - 50 Years Oriental - 30259

This limited release print celebrates Orientique Australia's 50th year designing for Australian women. Inspired by kintsugi, the Japanese technique of repairing broken pottery with gold seams, the accumulated years are what makes the result precious, reflecting the women who've worn their artworks across decades of their own lives.

A classic button-through, collared shirt dress in an easy, relaxed midi-length cut which can be worn fully buttoned or open as a lightweight duster jacket.

The look polished yet casual with its soft drape flowing through the body, side-seam splits adding ease of movement around the legs and the elbow-length sleeves give a little extra coverage in the sunshine. And yes, it's got pockets.

Good to know:

What size is the model? Nicole is wearing the size 10 production sample and would typically opt for a size 12 in her own wardrobe for a flowing fit. She has a bust 100cm, hips 105cm.

Does this fabric breathe? Yes, this shirt dress is made with 100% premium rayon which has a natural breathability ideal for warmer climates.

Will this suit a pear shape? Not really, the fabric will pull across the hips and sizing up usually means the shoulders won't sit neatly.

Should I size up? No, the fit is very true to size for Orientique garments. Measure your bust and select your sizing based on the guidance provided.
