  • Fine cotton lining works with most fabric types, cupro lining works well with drapey fabrics
    Please note: you will need to add a lining if you are adding bound pockets to your garment

    IMPORTANT: Please make sure you have checked if there is enough of your chosen fabrics for the different elements of your dress with our team before placing your order

    Please note: strap garments with attached shoulder ties will mean that the garment opens completely at the shoulder when untied. Garments with unattached shoulder ties will mean that the shoulder ties are purely decorative

    This bow is decorative not functional
    Bow tie fastenings are functional not just decorative
    A 2-3" modesty panel sewn behind the bows to bridge any gaps created through movement when the garment is worn

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR FABRIC + PLACE YOUR ORDER:

1. Choose your fabric by heading to our instagram fabric gallery 

Each fabric has a reference number & details of which of our designs + sizes it is suitable for. Comment on the instagram post or email us via info@theemperorsoldclothes.co.uk to reserve it – we generally only have enough of each fabric for 1-2 garments so this step is really important!

2. Place your order here – double-check you have the correct garment style.

Your fabric reservation lasts for 72 hours so please place your order during this time otherwise the fabric will become available to other customers.

Important: make sure to write your size, sleeve preference + fabric reference number in the order notes when you are entering your payment details.

3. Sit back, make a cup of tea + get excited about your one of a kind garment!

GARMENT DETAILS:

With a comfortable loose fit cut, this shift dress with shoulder straps finishes just above the knee. Handmade from scratch in your choice of fabric.

Our shift strap dress is a modern, simple take on shift dresses from the 1960s.

WAYS TO WEAR:

Wear the dress alone with your favourite shoes for outfit number 1.

For all year round wear style the dress with a high-neck top underneath and ankle boots to keep you warm in the colder months.

The perfect everyday dress, our shift strap dress can be dressed up or down depending on what you have in your diary. Dress up with clutch bag & heels or go for a relaxed feel with a belt, basket & pumps. When the temperature drops simply add tights or long socks, ankle boots and some cashmere.

Feel good fashion! This shift strap dress will be created by our small team in our Brighton studio for a living wage. Every piece we make is totally unique and will not be reproduced.
