Cobalt Taffeta Funnel-Collar Shift Dress

The Cobalt Taffeta Funnel-Collar Shift Dress is a demi-couture piece by Joseph Ejiro, available to pre-order.

Structure for the daytime. This cobalt shift has the clean lines of a classic day dress and the details of couture, from the standing funnel collar to the fluted hem that reveals a flash of red. It is polished daywear for luncheons, events and the races.

A wide funnel collar stands up around the neck, and the elbow-length sleeves are cut full. The shift falls straight from the shoulders and is dotted with jeweled appliqués and small sculpted tabs. At the hem, the taffeta flutes outward and turns back to reveal a flash of red lining.

Fabric

The dress is cut in taffeta, a crisp, lustrous fabric that rustles softly and holds volume.

Care

Dry clean only. Taffeta can water-mark and lose its crisp finish in water, so a specialist dry cleaner is the safest choice. Avoid rubbing over crystals, beading and hardware; spot clean around them gently if needed. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Press taffeta on the reverse with a dry iron on a low setting and a pressing cloth. Avoid steam directly on the face. Store on a padded hanger in a breathable cotton garment bag, away from direct sunlight.

Size and fit

Available in US sizes 2 to 24. Please see the size chart on this page for body measurements before ordering.
