The Lapel Affair Ruffle Dress
The Lapel Affair Ruffle Dress takes tailored details into the cocktail hour. A sleeveless cut and crisp notch lapels frame the crossover neckline, while a single coordinating button defines the waist. Cascading ruffles soften the overlapping skirt and give this short silhouette movement without losing its clean lines.
Sky Blue feels fresh with sapphire jewelry and silver shoes; White gets an evening edge with dark hosiery and burgundy accessories. Black makes a rich backdrop for jade accents, while Pink invites a bright turquoise necklace. Wear it to a corporate holiday reception, an art-auction cocktail gathering or an upscale club party. The dress has a distinct point of view: composed, lively and ready for a beautifully styled entrance.
I.C.’s Styling Tip
Use the open lapel neckline to frame one substantial necklace with matching earrings. Add a sculptural cuff and a compact clutch rather than covering the front ruffle. Short silver curls, an asymmetrical bob or a sharp feathered crop bring the B Store fashion edge. Opaque tights can offer additional coverage with White or Black; a low Mary-Jane, T-strap or metallic slingback finishes the look.
Size Guide
These are garment measurements, not body measurements. Measure a similar dress flat across the chest below the arm openings, then double that width for Dress Chest Measurement. Compare the shoulder and length figures with a sleeveless dress that fits you comfortably. Waist and hip measurements were not supplied.
| Size | Dress Chest Measurement (in) | Shoulder (in) | Length (in) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 37.8 | 13.4 | 33.5 |
| M | 39.4 | 13.8 | 33.9 |
| L | 41.7 | 14.2 | 34.3 |
| XL | 44.1 | 14.6 | 34.6 |
| 2XL | 46.5 | 15.0 | 35.0 |
Fit Notes: Slightly stretchy and not lined, with a sleeveless lapel neckline, a coordinating waist button, an overlapping skirt and cascading front ruffles. The small amount of stretch offers limited give; allow comfortable ease at the chest, waist and hips, particularly when sitting. This is a short dress, and hem coverage varies with height. Smooth foundation garments or a separate slip may provide additional coverage, especially in lighter colors. Manual measurements may vary by 0.4–1.2 inches.
Care: Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low.
