Pink Diagonal Stripe Dress

A pale pink dress cut as a straight shift, with short cap sleeves, a rounded neckline, and fine stripes running on the diagonal. Two tab details sit at hip level. It is lined in satin.

This is the quietest dress in the collection, and deliberately so. The diagonal of the stripe does the work that ornament does elsewhere, giving the dress movement without pattern or trim, and the straight cut skims rather than fits, which suits a child who dislikes anything close to the body.

It is the practical choice for occasions that are formal but not ceremonial: a recital, a school photograph, a lunch, a birthday. Many occasion dresses are too much for these, and an ordinary dress is not enough. The satin lining is what makes it comfortable enough to keep on all day.

Suited to recitals, portraits, birthdays, and family celebrations. Crafted in the United States from imported European fabrics. Carried at Saks Fifth Avenue.
