The long button-front dress, in the four colors she'd actually wear. The Serena is the version of the long dress that doesn't need a zipper, doesn't need a slip, doesn't need anything but a pair of sandals and somewhere to go. Brunches, family dinners, the late-summer walks that turn into the late-summer dinners.
Soft structured fabric with a clean drape, light on the skin and easy in warm weather. Button-front placket runs collar to hem, long sleeves taper at the wrist, the waist defines gently without pulling. Maxi length, hits at the ankle. Not see-through. Available in white, black, blue, and green.
Flat sandals through the day, low heels when the night calls for it. A denim jacket over the top in cooler weather.
Sized XL to 6XL, fitting US 18 to 30.
Fits true to size. Between sizes? Size up for a more relaxed fit.
Machine wash cold, hang to dry. Cool iron if needed.
