A loose black summer dress with a tie at the neck
This black summer dress by Awama hangs loose from the shoulders and asks nothing of you. It is made of a light rayon blend, has two side pockets and closes at the neckline with a thin tie that you can leave open or knot.
The maker's size table gives a length of 90 cm in S and 93 cm in XL. On the model the hem sits above the knee.

The piece: model 212244 by Awama
Awama sells this dress through a Polish fashion wholesaler, in the day dresses category. The supplier describes it as light, with a loose fit, a subtle gathering at the neckline and a collar with a tie. We sell it in black only.
The shape is close to a tunic. There is no waist seam and no belt. The sleeves are short caps cut in one piece with the body, so the shoulder line runs on without a seam. It is the kind of dress that looks like nothing on a hanger and right on a person.
Who it's for
For you if warm days make you want less fabric on your skin and more air around it. Nothing on this dress touches the waist.
It also suits you if you carry your phone in your hand all summer because your dresses have no pockets. This one has two. Sizes go from S to XL, and they are generous: the hips measure 112 cm in S.
Closer look: what the maker's data and the photos show
- Loose fit (maker's data)
- Subtle gathering at the neckline (maker's data)
- Tie at the collar that lets you open or close the neckline (maker's data)
- Slit V at the front with two thin ties hanging down (photos)
- Side pockets (maker's data, photos)
- Short cap sleeves cut in one with the body (photos)
- Hem above the knee on the model, 90 to 93 cm long depending on size (size table, photos)
The maker doesn't mention a lining or a zip. With a shape this loose you pull it on over your head.
Fabric and feel: rayon with nylon
The composition is 87% rayon and 13% nylon. Rayon is a fibre made from cellulose, often sold as viscose. It is light and it drapes, and the supplier calls this fabric breathable and made for warm days.
In the photos the cloth has a matte, slightly crinkled surface. That texture is forgiving: a few creases after a car ride won't stand out. The maker gives no fabric weight and doesn't say whether the dress is lined, so we can't promise how opaque it is in bright sun. Black helps.
Fit and silhouette: wide all the way down
The table below comes from the maker. Size S has a chest of 100 cm, a waist of 104 cm and hips of 112 cm. Size XL has 116, 120 and 128 cm. The dress gets wider towards the hem in every size.
Length changes by one centimetre per size, from 90 cm in S to 93 cm in XL. With numbers this roomy you can take your usual size, or one down if you are between two and prefer less volume. Check the length against a dress you own; if you are tall, above the knee may become well above it.
Size chart (cm)
| Size | Length | Hips | Chest | Waist |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 90 | 112 | 100 | 104 |
| M | 91 | 116 | 104 | 108 |
| L | 92 | 122 | 110 | 114 |
| XL | 93 | 128 | 116 | 120 |
Source: the maker's size table. With a chest of 100 cm in S these read as garment measurements; the maker doesn't say so explicitly.
Styling: flat shoes and one good bag
The model wears it with beige flat loafers and nothing else, and it doesn't need more. Add a straw bag and sunglasses and you are dressed for a hot day in town.
For the evening, knot the tie, put on gold-tone hoops and switch to sandals with a small heel. A wide belt changes the dress completely and gives it a waist, if you want one.
On a cooler day a short jacket or a long cardigan goes over it without fuss, because the sleeves are so short.
Occasions
The supplier names warm days, and that is where this dress belongs. Wear it on holiday, over a swimsuit on the way to the beach, to a barbecue or to the office when the air conditioning has given up.
It packs flat and weighs little, so it earns its place in a suitcase.
Care: follow the label
The maker's data has no care instructions, so follow the label sewn into the dress.
Rayon in general is weaker when wet and can shrink in hot water. A cool, gentle wash and drying on a hanger are safe habits until you have read the label.
The wow detail: a neckline you set yourself
The two thin ties at the neckline do real work. Leave them hanging and the slit opens into a narrow V. Knot them and the neckline closes into a soft round collar with a little gathering under it. One dress, two necklines, and it takes three seconds to switch.
