The Navy Island Short Dress is a reinvention of the classic little black dress, in a deep, mesmerising dark blue inspired by the rich, dark blue waters around Navy Island off Port Antonio, Jamaica. Cut from 100% pure silk satin, it is fluid and lightweight, draping beautifully across all body types for a flattering silhouette that is both comfortable and stylish.

Wear it anywhere: layer with a blazer for a business meeting, pair with heels for an evening out, or wear with sandals for a relaxed yet sophisticated daytime look.

How to Measure

Measure over your underwear, with the tape level and snug but not tight. Bust: around the fullest part of your chest. Waist: around your natural waistline, at the narrowest point. Hips: around the fullest part of your hips. If you are between sizes, size up for a relaxed fit or down for swim (swim fabric is four-way stretch).

Swim: use this same chart. Swim fabric is four-way stretch, so if you are between sizes, size down. Robes and kaftans: use this chart to pick your size; the garment is cut roomy. Kaftan length: Regular 141 cm / 55.5″, Petite 91 cm / 35.8″. Silk shirts: pick by this body chart — the shirt is cut loose by design, so it will fit relaxed.
