Pleated waist short jersey dress - Black
Knee-length jersey dress
Description
Voilà – our popular jersey dress Pleated waist in a brand-new print!
This knee-length dress is designed to look just as good for everyday wear as it does for special occasions. The rounded, gathered neckline creates a soft, feminine silhouette, while the long, slightly wider sleeves with cuffs make it comfortable to wear all day. The defined waist with stitched pleats gives the skirt plenty of swing, and of course the dress has practical pockets in the side seams.
The fabric features a new print in green and cream tones with hints of lavender on a black background – an elegant colour combination that works all year round. Pleated waist is made from soft, stretchy jersey in Vortex viscose and elastane, a high-quality material that drapes heavily and flatteringly over the body. The dress is easy to care for, doesn’t shrink and keeps its shape wash after wash.
Available in both knee-length and calf-length versions – a printed dress to love season after season.

Our fabrics & how to care for your dress
General care instructions
Take care of your dresses with love, and they will stay beautiful for a long time.
Wash sparingly and gently - often it’s enough to air the garment between wears.
Preferably wash your dresses in a laundry bag to protect them from sharp details inside the machine. Avoid tumble drying and strong spin cycles, as they wear down the fibers and may affect the fit.
Use a mild detergent without bleach or enzymes that can damage viscose and elastane. Avoid fabric softener, as it can affect the garment’s elasticity and color.
Hang or lay your dresses flat to dry immediately after washing — hang lengthwise for stretchy fabrics, and preferably on a hanger for woven styles. If ironing is needed, use low to medium heat and ideally while the garment is still slightly damp.
Store your dresses with space around them and avoid packing them too tightly in your wardrobe.
With the right care, you preserve the fit, color and soft feel - so your dress can stay with you for years to come. 💛
Viscose jersey with a heavy drape
If you read that a dress is made from a stretchy fabric with a heavy drape, it means it’s one of our most loved qualities. The fabric is a sustainably produced jersey made from Vortex viscose and elastane - soft, flexible and with an elegant weight that creates a beautiful drape along the body.
The viscose jersey has a luxurious feel against the skin and retains both its shape and color wash after wash. The surface is smooth and even thanks to advanced Vortex spinning - a modern technique that creates a fabric of the highest quality. It makes the material resistant to pilling, reduces fuzziness and helps the fabric wrinkle significantly less than regular viscose jersey.
Viscose is made from cellulose (wood fiber) and is therefore a nature-based material. When wet, it may feel slightly stiff, but it regains its softness after drying and light ironing. Gently reshape the garment directly after washing so it returns to its original form - and avoid high spin cycles, which can affect the fabric’s elasticity.
Avoid carrying bags with sharp details, Velcro or other accessories that may rub against the fabric. Viscose jersey is a soft and fluid material that does not tolerate heavy abrasion, but if you care for your dress according to our washing instructions, it will maintain its beautiful quality and feel just as lovely for a long time.
Care: Wash at 30°C, preferably in a laundry bag to protect against sharp objects in the machine. Lay flat to dry or hang the dress lengthwise so it doesn’t stretch out. Avoid tumble drying. If ironing is needed, use low heat.
Storage: Hang the dress folded over the bar of a trouser hanger to avoid shoulder marks and preserve its shape.
Viscose jersey with slub texture
Another jersey quality we often use is our stretchy viscose jersey made from 100% viscose - a slightly airier fabric that still offers a soft, flexible stretch. The yarn is spun using a so-called slub technique, which creates a subtly uneven texture that adds character and a naturally beautiful surface.
The fabric has a soft, light drape and a comfortable feel against the skin. It moves beautifully and is particularly well suited to dress styles with draping or ruffles - perfect for the warmer season when you want your dress to feel light and airy.

Viscose jersey with glow
A luxurious jersey quality with a subtle sheen and a soft, fluid feel against the skin. The fabric is a stretchy viscose jersey with an elegant drape and a gentle glow that catches the light in a discreet and sophisticated way. It gives the dresses an elevated character - perfect for occasions when you want to feel a little extra special.

Woven viscose (EcoVero)
We use two different woven viscose qualities - both made from EcoVero viscose, a fiber with significantly lower environmental impact than conventional viscose.
One is a viscose twill with a slightly heavier structure and a subtle sheen that reflects light elegantly. It drapes beautifully and is perfect for the cooler months of the year.
The other is a lighter woven viscose, soft and matte with a natural fluidity - ideal for spring and summer when you want your dress to feel airy and cool against the skin.
Both fabrics have a natural luster that enhances colors and prints beautifully, and they maintain their quality over time - they do not pill, do not fade and retain their shape wash after wash.
EcoVero viscose is made from FSC- and PEFC-certified wood pulp in a closed-loop process where chemicals and water are reused. The result is a soft, durable fabric that both looks and feels exclusive.
When wet, the fabric may contract slightly and feel a bit stiff, but it regains its original shape and softness once dry and pressed with heat. It does not shrink permanently - instead, it returns to its beautiful fit after ironing.
Care: Wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, preferably in a laundry bag to protect against sharp objects in the machine. Avoid tumble drying. Iron on low to medium heat when the garment is dry - the warmth helps the fabric regain its original drape.
Organic cotton
Our woven cotton fabrics are organic and GOTS-certified, which means the entire production chain - from cultivation to finished fabric - meets strict requirements for both environmental and social responsibility.
The cotton is grown without chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, and the dyeing process is carried out with care for both the environment and the people involved in production.
We use several different weaves, each with its own character:
– an embroidered and patterned cotton with vibrant texture and a luxurious feel
– a broderie anglaise cotton with beautiful transparency and airy lightness
– and a tightly woven cotton poplin with a smooth surface and crisp, cool feel - perfect for dresses with more structure
What they all share is a natural softness and a sense of lasting quality, both in shape and expression. Cotton is a breathable natural fiber that feels comfortable against the skin, while also being durable and resilient in washing.
Care: Wash at 30–40°C with similar colors, preferably in a laundry bag to protect against sharp objects in the machine. Avoid tumble drying. Iron on medium to high heat if needed.
