Product Insights

Staud's Ellison Ribbed Midi Dress sculpts the body with a slim-fit bodice, ottoman-stitched waist, and pleated skirt that swings with a soft, fluted motion, crafted from a thick, opaque 59/40/1 knit that resists wrinkles, recovers shape, and allows braless wear. The tradeoff: unlined construction may reveal lighter undergarments, and the fitted chest requires sizing up. Currently out of stock, this dress offers value at $149.95 CAD (62% off) and transitions easily from casual to dressy.

Verified claims

Construction
Pull-on closure and unlined construction replace the Wells' back zip and cotton lining.
Fit
Slim-fit bodice, ottoman-stitched waist, and pleated skirt deliver a sculpted silhouette; buyers report needing to size up for the fitted chest.
Waist shaping
The waist is permanently cinched by the ottoman stitch and ribbed panel.
Fabric
Buyers across sizes S–L say the thick 59/40/1 knit allows wearing it braless.
Shape retention
Ribbed knit resists wrinkles, maintains pleats, and recovers its shape to avoid bagging.
Density
Buyers find the dense knit fully opaque and breathable, even in warm weather.
Motion
The pleated skirt swings with a soft, fluted motion, not a stiff bell.
Bra compatibility
Bra optional; broad straps hide standard bra straps.
Opacity
Unlined knit; lighter undergarments may be visible.
Value
At $149.95 CAD (62% off), this dress offers premium fabric at mid-tier prices.
Versatility
Easily styled from casual to dressy and layered for cooler weather.
Silhouette
The dress is designed with a ribbed waist panel and an A-line pleated skirt that flares from the waist.
Care
Hand wash cold or dry clean; machine washing can shrink or damage the viscose-nylon blend.

Ellison Ribbed Midi Dress: Choose this if you want a sleeveless ribbed-knit midi with a fitted bodice, square neckline, and flattering fit-and-flare shape from a knife-pleated skirt that falls to mid-calf. The dense, stretchy viscose-nylon-spandex weave has a soft feel, and the broad straps are bra-compatible while the back scoops below the shoulder blades; it pulls on with no closure and is unlined. Note it comes in sizes X-SMALL through X-LARGE, and one fit report found the chest area runs small.[1,3,4,5,6,7]Vincent Mini Shirtdress: Choose this if you want a casual-chic summer mini in navy/midnight blue (sizes small through x-large): a straight, loose-fitting shirtdress falling above the knee, with voluminous elbow-length puff sleeves, elasticated cuffs, a gathered band-collar neckline, and a full-length front button placket. The soft, slightly stretchy poplin is a 98% cotton and 2% spandex blend with a smooth, matte look and structured drape, and a reviewer notes the front buttons let you wear it as a beach cover-up with sandals or dress it up with heels. Note that pockets are suggested by fold lines in photos but not fully visible, and the cotton-blend fabric shows slight natural creasing at seams and folds.[8,9,10,11,12,13,14]Vincent Puff-Sleeve Midi Dress: Choose this if you want a casual-chic black cotton midi with a romantic touch: slight-stretch cotton poplin in a straight, slightly flared silhouette with short buttoned puff sleeves, a gathered banded neckline, a full button-front placket, hidden side-seam pockets, and side slits. Reviewers mostly found it true to size, though some reported it runs big and others small, and most called the length just right (it measures 52 inches from the shoulder); one wearer praised the lightweight, off-the-body feel for hot weather. Note it is unlined, and care guidance varies by source, from dry clean only to washing cold.[12,15,16,17,18,19]
