Shipping Notes: This Easy Dress will be shipped by the seller, who is US based. Therefore it will attract an automatic postage charge of £27 (the standard int'l shipping rate) which will compensate the seller for the charges they occur. The seller is not registered for sales tax so there is no tax to reclaim. UK customers will not pay any import tax or duties. Other countries: depending on your location you may be charged import tax and duties by the customs office in your country of residence. Neither the seller nor The Slow Wardrobe has any control over this.
The Easy Dress does its name proud. With a dropped shoulder, loose fit and wide 3/4 length sleeves, it can be worn by itself or as a Tunic over other garments.
Unlike many other Layercakes, it comes in just one length and two sizes. If you are familiar with the Step Top and the Gansey, then use your choice of size in those garments to inform you about the fit of the Easy Dress. If in doubt, consult the Fit Guide (just click the tab below these product details).
In terms of length, the Easy Dress matches the Petite dress length (39.5in measured from the shoulder down to the bottom hem). That's knee-length if you are on the tall side, down to calf-length if you are of a shorter stature. If you want to see the Easy Dress styled with the rest of the collection, watch Ep. 121 of the Slow Wardrobe podcast on YouTube to see it in motion and hear the story behind it.
The Slow Wardrobe sizes
