Description
A ribbed pencil dress with a neat high neck
This ribbed pencil dress by Factory Price is cut close from the neck to just above the knee. The rib is wide and vertical, the sleeves are long, and the neck stands up in a low band that sits against the throat.
The yarn is half viscose, with polyester and nylon. Camel, grey and black can be ordered, in two sizes: S/M and M/L.

The piece: three colours, two sizes
Factory Price sells this dress through a fashion wholesaler in Poland. The maker describes a pencil dress with a fitted cut in ribbed material, with long sleeves, a round neckline and a length that stops before the knee, meant for everyday wear to work.
The colours you can order are the camel one, which our button calls brown, a light grey melange and black. Stock at the supplier is uneven: black comes in both sizes, camel and grey mainly in M/L. The size buttons show what is there.
Who it's for
For you if you want a dress for the office that is as easy as a jumper. You pull it on, and the high neck and long sleeves do the dressing up.
It is a close fit. If you like your knits loose, this is not the one. If you like a long, clean line under a blazer or a coat, it is.

Fabric and feel: viscose, polyester and nylon
The composition is 50% viscose, 28% polyester and 22% nylon. Viscose gives the knit a smooth, cool hand. Polyester and nylon make the yarn stronger and help the rib spring back.
There is no stretch fibre listed. The stretch comes from the rib structure, which opens across the body and closes again. In the photos the knit is dense enough to be opaque in all three colours.
Fit and silhouette: close, to above the knee
The maker's table gives a chest of 82-86 cm for S/M and 86-91 cm for M/L. Measure around the fullest part of your bust. If you are right at 86 cm, both sizes are possible: S/M for a firm fit, M/L for a little more ease.
The table has no length. On the models the hem sits a hand above the knee, and the maker calls it pre-knee length. The sleeves are long enough to cover half the hand.

Styling: boots change everything
The photos try three ideas. Chunky cream lace-up boots make the dress casual. White knee-high boots make it sixties. Black pumps with the black dress make it formal.
A belt over the rib marks the waist if you want more shape. A long coat left open over the dress gives two long vertical lines and keeps the outfit calm.
Occasions
The maker points to work first, then to formal and less formal occasions. In black it goes to a dinner or a funeral with equal ease. In camel and grey it is a daytime dress for the cold months.
Care: follow the label
The maker's data has no care instructions, so go by the sewn-in label. Knits with viscose usually want a cool, gentle wash. Dry the dress flat, because a wet knit on a hanger stretches in length.
The wow detail: the neckband
The maker says round neckline, and the photos show something a little better: a low band that stands up around the neck. It is lower than a polo neck and tidier than a crew neck. It frames the face and means you can skip the necklace.
