Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Ruffled Poplin Shirtdress: Choose this if you want a statement black shirtdress with sacai's deconstructive styling, per the retailer: fabric panels wrap the upper bust like voluminous ruffles and drape down the sides for an architectural silhouette, finished with a pointed shirt collar, half-hidden button placket, short sleeves, deep side openings, a center back pleat, and seam plus chest pockets. It has a boxy, loose A-line fit through the body in a matte cotton-polyester poplin (65% polyester, 35% cotton), available in black in sizes 1 and 2 and made in Japan. Note the length is listed as knee length at 79 cm (about 31 inches) measured from the top of the shoulder, though product photos show the hem sitting around the upper thigh on the model, so check the measurements against your fit preference.[1,2,3,4] | Layered Effect Tie-Neck Shirt Dress: Choose this if you want Sacai's layered take on a shirt dress: a loose, straight-fitting silhouette in light blue pinstriped cotton-polyester poplin, built as a shorter shirt layer over a longer skirt layer for a high-low hem with a front slit. The tie neck with long navy ribbon tails, buttoned cuffs, and chest patch pocket deliver the brand's preppy, androgynous look (as described by the retailer), and it's made in Japan. Note the length is about 33.5 inches from the top of the shoulder, so check that against your preferred hemline.[5,6,7,8] | Nylon Sleeves T-Shirt Dress: Choose this if you want a tactical-inspired take on a T-shirt dress: Simons describes its design as a fusion of utilitarian precision and feminine style, with practical, pocketed half-length nylon sleeves featuring silver zip pockets and pen-slot compartments set against a matte cotton jersey body. The straight, relaxed silhouette falls short, ending just above the knees, with a ribbed crewneck and contrasting shiny, slightly puffed sleeves gathered into ribbed cuffs. Made in Japan from a main material of 100% cotton with a 100% cupro lining, though image-based fabric descriptions of the sleeve material remain analyst impressions.[9,10,11,12] |
