Colette – Printed V-Neck Maxi Dress

Size

A scenic toile print in soft blue on cream: the pattern you know from French upholstery, printed on something you can actually wear to lunch. Colette has a surplice V neckline, short cuffed cap sleeves, and a pleated waistband that gathers at the narrowest point and releases the skirt into one long A-line sweep.

Why you'll reach for it

  • Blue-on-cream toile print: a scenic, illustrated pattern rather than a floral, and it reads as one design rather than a repeat.
  • Surplice V neckline: an open neckline that still covers the shoulder.
  • Short cap sleeves with a turned cuff: nothing to push up in the heat.
  • Pleated waistband: several soft horizontal pleats, so the waist is marked without being cinched.
  • Full A-line skirt: 137–140 cm from shoulder to hem. Ankle-length on most; if you are tall it will sit at the lower calf.
  • Back zip: the front stays uninterrupted.
  • Light to carry: 240 g in size S, which is a lot of dress for very little suitcase.

Size and fit

Garment measurements, taken around and flat. Allow 1–3 cm: these are measured by hand.

Size Chest Waist Shoulder Length
S 92 cm 73 cm 36.5 cm 137 cm
M 96 cm 77 cm 37.5 cm 138 cm
L 102 cm 83 cm 38.5 cm 139 cm
XL 108 cm 89 cm 39.5 cm 140 cm

Between two sizes, take the larger one. The bodice and waistband are the fitted part; the skirt is generous at every size.

Fabric

  • Woven polyester with a matte, finely crinkled crepe surface.

Garment measurements are taken by hand and may vary by 1–3 cm. Screen colours vary, so the cream may read warmer or cooler than it photographs.

It’s one of those pieces you put on and instantly feel put together. Super comfortable too.

I was worried it might be too oversized, but the fit is actually really flattering. I’ve already worn it three times this week.

Soft, easy to style and looks just as good with jeans as it does dressed up. Exactly what I was hoping for.

Finally something that feels stylish without trying too hard. The fit is relaxed but doesn’t make me feel shapeless.

Chosen for you

I started Emma’s Choice because I’ve always loved finding those rare pieces that just feel right.

The cardigan you keep reaching for, the dress that makes you feel like yourself, the bag that somehow goes with everything.

Over the years, I realized most women don’t want more noise. We want fewer, better choices. Beautiful things that feel easy to wear, flattering, and worth buying.

That’s what Emma’s Choice is about. I search, compare, and curate with real life in mind.

Not just trends, but pieces that help women feel comfortable, confident, and put together. If it’s here, it’s because I truly believe it deserves a place in your wardrobe.
