Description
A cotton day dress you pull on and forget about
This Rue Paris dress has no zip and no buttons. You pull it over your head and it hangs loose from a gathered seam at the high waist, down to a hem above the knee.
It is 90% cotton with 10% spandex, with short sleeves and a round neckline. The maker gives a length of 82 to 88 cm. Black, white and beige can still be ordered.

The piece: eight colours in the gallery, three in stock
The supplier describes an everyday dress with a flared cut, without fastening, in a plain material where cotton dominates. It has short sleeves, a round neckline and a length that ends above the knee. The maker calls cotton breathable and pleasant on warm days.
We have to be straight about availability. The photos show eight colours. Five of them, green, dusty pink, fuchsia, violet and red, are no longer supplied. What remains is black, white and beige, and not in every size.
Who it's for
For you if summer clothes should feel like a T-shirt. This is close to one, with a skirt attached. It does not hold the waist or the hips anywhere.
The cut is generous: size S already has a chest of 114 cm. If you like a neater fit across the shoulders, consider the smaller of two sizes.
Closer look: what the maker's data and the photos show
- Flared cut, no fastening (maker's data)
- Short sleeves and a round neckline (maker's data)
- Plain fabric, cotton-dominant (maker's data)
- Length above the knee (maker's data, photos)
- Skirt gathered into a seam at a high waist (photos)
- Sleeves with a turned-up cuff (photos)
The maker does not mention pockets or a lining.
Fabric and feel: cotton jersey with stretch
The composition is 90% cotton and 10% spandex. The maker says the dress is kind to the skin, breathable and pleasant to wear, and suggests it for warm days. In the photos the fabric looks like a smooth T-shirt jersey.
We have no fabric weight. With the white one, assume you will want skin-tone underwear.
Fit and silhouette: loose everywhere
The maker's table: size M is 84 cm long with a chest of 118 cm, a waist seam of 88 cm and a hem width of 130 cm. Each size adds 2 cm in length and 4 cm at the chest.
On the models the hem ends above the knee. At 82 cm, size S is short on anyone tall, so check the length against a dress you own.
Size chart (cm)
| Size | Length | Hips | Chest | Waist |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 82 | 124 | 114 | 84 |
| M | 84 | 130 | 118 | 88 |
| L | 86 | 136 | 122 | 92 |
| XL | 88 | 142 | 126 | 96 |

Styling: sandals, trainers, a hat
The photos show the white dress with a straw hat and the beige one with a short bead necklace. Both are summer-in-the-city looks you can copy in a minute.
Flat sandals or white trainers are the obvious shoes. A jeans jacket takes it into the evening. The black one works with ankle boots and a cardigan when summer ends.
Occasions
The maker suggests daytime and work. It comes into its own on hot days: the market, the beach bar, a picnic, the office when the air conditioning fails.
Care: follow the label
The maker's data has no care instructions, so follow the label sewn into the dress.
Cotton jersey can shrink in a hot wash or dryer, and this dress is already short. Read the label first.
The wow detail: the gathers
All the shape in this dress comes from one seam. The skirt is gathered into it all the way round, front and back, so it swings when you walk and never clings. It is a simple trick, and it is why the dress looks good from behind as well.
