Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Fluid Crepe Blouson-Waist Dress: Choose this if you want a black maxi with an elegant, minimalist look: a fluid crepe fit-and-flare with a delicately pleated, gathered waist, rounded neckline, extended shoulders, and short loose sleeves that falls from a fitted waist into a gently flared, high-low skirt with a hidden back zip. It comes in sizes X-SMALL through X-LARGE, and the brand describes the drape as impeccable with a contemporary, season-spanning design. Note the main fabric is a synthetic blend of 57% polyester and 43% acetate, and the listed length of 138 cm (54.25 inches) was measured on a size SMALL.[1,2,3,4] | Draped-Collar Fluid Crepe Dress: Choose this if you want a minimalist black maxi with an asymmetric draped collar, long fitted sleeves, and a fitted torso that flares into a flowy floor-length skirt. Choose this for its soft, satiny stretch crepe made of 97% responsibly sourced viscose and 3% elastane, with a heavyweight drape and a length of 54.25 inches (138 cm) from the top of the shoulder. Note that it is offered in X-Small to Medium sizes only.[5,6,7] | Cotton And Silk Shirt Dress: Choose this if you want a loose, relaxed button-front shirt dress in a delicate cotton-silk voile (82% cotton, 18% silk) with a fresh, crisp feel that the brand's material description describes as softer than cotton poplin thanks to the silk. It suits shoppers drawn to a knee- to mid-calf length (48.75 inches or about 124 centimeters from the shoulder), short wide sleeves ending above the elbow, a chest pocket, side vents, and a back box pleat for extra drape, all in blue stripes with a hint of blush. Note that the listing shows sizes only from X-Small to Medium, so it may not work for shoppers outside that range.[8,9,10,11] |
