Product Information

Full details

This Marc Cain Shirt Dress in Black, size UK 16, is designed for adult women seeking an elegant yet practical addition to their wardrobe. Its key benefit is the versatility offered by its flowing Lyocell fabric and adjustable tie belt, allowing for both loose and fitted styling. A potential consideration is that the loose, flowing structure might not suit those preferring very structured garments. Key features include its calf-length, straight cut, shirt collar, button-down front, and side pockets, all crafted from responsibly sourced Lyocell under the ‘Rethink Together’ sustainability label.
