Dakota Cotton Dress in Blue Chintz Trail

The Dakota shirt dress is a modern classic designed for everyday wear. Cut with a full, easy skirt, a pointed collar and clean button-down front, it balances structure with softness. Inspired by heirloom garments but made for modern living, Dakota is one of our signature styles, re-imagined each season in new fabrics—and a piece we return to year after year, because we (and you) love it. Chintz Trail is a winding floral designed for us by artist Ellen Merchant and is her interpretation of a historical block-print that we fell in love with on an 18th-century Dutch dress . This piece was screen printed, cut, stitched and finished entirely with our close partners in Jaipur. Each design is produced in small batches of around 30-50 pieces to ensure exclusivity and complete control and care in production. Darker and pigment rich prints can be delicately dry-cleaned to preserve their colour. If your product is dry-clean only this will be indicated on your care label. For all other Daydress garments you can machine-wash these at home on a short, cold cycle for delicates. For best results gently dab away marks before you wash and use natural detergent (one that doesn't contain bleach/lighteners). Clicking buy will take you to the Daydress website where you can complete your transaction. Thank you for shopping Sensibly!
