Jilana | Stand-Collar Button-Front Ruffle Hem Maxi Dress

Some dresses are for occasions. The Jilana is for days when you want to look like you made an effort without actually making one. A relaxed, voluminous maxi in a crisp, lightweight fabric — V-neckline with a stand collar and button placket that keeps it from reading too casual, a gathered empire waist that releases into a full, sweeping skirt, and a layered ruffle hem that catches the air when you walk. The kind of dress that works at a seaside lunch, a farmer's market, a friend's backyard. Anywhere the day is unhurried and the light is good.

"I knew the Jilana was right the moment I saw the hem move. That layered ruffle at the bottom is what separates it from every other white maxi out there — it adds volume and rhythm without making the dress feel costumey or overdone. The stand collar with the button placket is the other detail I keep coming back to: it makes the neckline interesting without being complicated, and it means you can wear this with nothing around your neck and still look completely finished. In white it's the most classic — almost vintage French. In light blue it's softer, more relaxed, and honestly the one I reach for first on a warm morning." — Sarah Mitchell, Founder of Valora New York

✔ Stand Collar with Button Placket — a structured, upright collar with a short button-front opening that adds a tailored, French-inspired quality to an otherwise relaxed silhouette.

✔ Empire Waist with Gathered Skirt — a raised waistline with a full gather that releases into a voluminous skirt, flattering through the midsection and giving the dress its effortless, flowing shape.

✔ Layered Ruffle Hem — a double-tiered ruffle at the ankle that adds movement, volume, and a playful finish that photographs well and moves beautifully in person.

✔ 3/4-Length Sleeves — hit just below the elbow for a relaxed, unfussy look that works in warm weather without feeling like a full summer dress.

✔ Side Pockets — deep enough to be useful, set into the side seams so they don't interrupt the silhouette.

✔ Two Colorways: White and Light Blue — white is the sharper, more classic read — pairs with sandals, espadrilles, or bare feet. Light blue is softer and more relaxed, and the color that makes a summer tan look its best.

Linen-look ease. French collar structure. The maxi that makes any day feel like the good kind.
