Description

The Dress

A Collared Crossover Sheath That Never Comes Undone

A true wrap dress is held shut by a tie. That is what makes it easy to put on, and it is also why it opens at the V when you lean forward, slips off the shoulder by mid-afternoon and needs a pin before a meeting. Many women love the wrap shape and give up on it for work for exactly this reason.

This collared crossover sheath dress keeps the wrap look and removes the moving parts. The crossover front is sewn in place, a stand collar holds the neckline at the back of the neck, and the dress closes with a zip down the back. It is cut to your measurements in Super 140s tropical wool and fully lined, with a waistband and a draped front panel that falls to an asymmetric hem. A free cotton test dress comes first, so the V sits where you want it before the wool is cut.

Free Test Dress

Fitting the V and the Collar

A crossover front has to lie flat across the bust, which is where most wrap-style dresses fail: on a fuller bust the overlap pulls open and on a smaller one it folds into a ripple. On the test dress we set the depth and angle of the V for your bust, check that the collar stands close at the back of the neck without pressing, and place the waistband at your waist so the drape below it hangs straight.

If the right fit would change the look in the photos, such as a higher V, we explain the trade-off and you choose.

1
Choose the wool and lining
Pick the tropical wool color and a satin lining in the selector, then enter your measurements and length.
2
A cotton version comes first
Your test dress is made in cotton to your measurements, with the crossover and collar in place; it takes 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch.
3
Lean forward and turn your head
Lean over a table as you would at work: the V should stay closed. Turn your head both ways; the collar should touch the back of the neck lightly without rubbing. Check that the waistband sits at your natural waist.
4
The wool is cut
We adjust the depth of the V, the collar and the waist, then cut the wool; the final dress takes 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch. The test dress is yours to keep.

Wrap or Sheath

A Crossover Sheath, Not a Tie Wrap

Woman in a women's navy collared crossover sheath dress with a V front, waistband and draped panel, front view

True wrap dressWraps around the body and ties at the waist; adjustable, but it can open at the neckline and loosen during the day.
Faux wrap, like this oneThe crossover is sewn in place over a closed dress, so the V cannot open and nothing needs retying.
Sheath underneathShaped to the waist and hips with seams and darts, so it behaves like a tailored dress rather than a draped one.
Draped panelA panel falls from the waistband to an asymmetric hem, which softens the line over the stomach and hips.

Wrap dress neckline flattering is the phrase people search, and the reason is real: a V that crosses the body draws the eye in at the waist and lengthens the neck. The flattering part only works if the V stays where it was set, which is why this crossover sheath is fitted, not tied.


The Collar

Why a Collared Sheath Dress

Most collared sheath dresses add a shirt collar or a notch collar to the front. This one does something different: the crossover V at the front rises into a stand collar at the back, so the neck is framed from behind while the front stays open. It holds the shoulders of the dress in place, which is what stops a wrap neckline from sliding.

Stand collarStands close at the back of the neck; its height can be lowered on request.
Visible back zipRuns down the center back as a clean vertical line, as in the photo.
SleevelessClose armholes that sit well under a jacket.

The Cloths

The Tropical Wool, Up Close

Each swatch below is the actual cloth, photographed close. Tropical wool in Super 140s, about 8 oz, is woven loosely enough to breathe yet stays crisp enough to hold the crossover and the collar, light enough for a warm office. Choose your color in the selector; here are a few of the shades on offer. To check a color in daylight first, use our swatch service.

How to Wear It

Wearing a Crossover Sheath

WorkOn its own with pumps; the collar does the work a jacket would.
Under a jacketA cropped jacket that stops at the waistband keeps the crossover in view.
EventsNavy or black with metallic sandals for a daytime wedding or a dinner.
JewelryKeep the neck bare; the collar and V are the frame, so earrings work better than a necklace.

Questions & Answers

Questions About the Collared Crossover Sheath Dress

Q. What is a faux wrap dress?
A. A dress that looks like a wrap, with a V that crosses at the front, but is sewn closed and fastens with a zip. You get the wrap shape without a tie that loosens or a neckline that opens.
Q. How do I wear a faux wrap dress?
A. On its own with simple heels, because the crossover is the detail. Keep necklaces off and wear earrings instead, and if you add a jacket, choose one short enough to leave the waistband in view.
Q. What body type looks good in a wrap dress?
A. Most, because the crossing V draws a line to the waist. It is especially kind to an hourglass or a fuller bust, as long as the overlap is cut wide enough not to pull open, which is what we fix on the test dress.
Q. Does a wrap dress hide the tummy?
A. The diagonal lines and the draped panel draw the eye across and down rather than to the middle, so the stomach is softened rather than outlined. A waistband set at your own waist, not lower, keeps the effect.
Q. Are wrap dresses out of style?
A. No. The wrap has been worn since the 1970s and keeps coming back because it flatters so many figures. A tailored, collared version like this one reads as workwear rather than a trend piece.
Q. Can I make the V higher for the office?
A. Yes. Write the depth you want in the comment box on the measurement form when you order, or email us with your order number; we set it on the test dress, where you can see it before the wool is cut. Lowering the collar is also possible.
Q. How does the free test dress work?
A. You order with your measurements, and we first make the dress in cotton and send it to you. You try it on at home and tell us what to change, then we make the final dress in wool. The cotton dress is yours to keep; the full process is explained on how it works.
Q. Is this dress warm?
A. No. Super 140s tropical wool is a light, open weave made for warm weather, so it suits spring and summer offices and evenings; under a coat it also works in winter.
Q. Can I add sleeves or pockets?
A. Yes, in the same way: mention it on the measurement form or email us with your order number. Cap sleeves and side seam pockets are both possible.
Q. How long will it take to arrive?
A. Your cotton test dress takes 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch; once you approve it, the wool dress takes 3 to 4 weeks and arrives 5 to 10 days after it ships.
