Half Zip Dress in Raspberry by Mela Purdie – F65 3022

The dress for days when you don't want to think about the outfit One piece, a strong colour and a fabric that holds its line. The Half Zip Dress is uncomplicated dressing, but there is enough structure in the shape to stop it feeling ordinary. Mela Purdie's Half Zip Dress in Raspberry is cut from signature Microprene, a woven stretch blend of cotton, polyamide and elastane. The fabric combines structure with flexibility, giving the relaxed silhouette definition without relying on a close fit. The zip-through collar is the detail that changes the character of the dress. It brings a subtle sportswear influence to an otherwise pared-back shape and allows you to adjust how open you wear the neckline. Short sleeves and a relaxed fit keep the body easy, while the curved midi-length hem softens the line at the bottom rather than cutting straight across the leg. Then there is Raspberry. This is a dress that doesn't need extra detail to make an impact — the colour does that work for you. Keep everything else simple and let the clean Microprene silhouette carry it. For travel, weekends or days when you need to get dressed quickly and still look considered, this is exactly the sort of one-piece solution that earns its place in a wardrobe.
