The Seline Dress with Bows
The Seline dress with bows is our take on timeless femininity with a modern edge. Two adjustable grosgrain ribbon bows rest at the shoulders, allowing you to customize the fit and style to suit your frame.
We crafted this piece from a premium cotton-poplin blend that holds its shape throughout the day while remaining breathable and comfortable. The fit-and-flare silhouette features a fitted bodice that gently releases into a full skirt, falling just above the knee for versatile styling. Whether you're attending a garden party, brunch with friends, or a summer evening event, the Seline adapts to your needs with effortless grace.
- Premium cotton-poplin blend: 78% cotton, 22% polyester for structure and breathability
- Adjustable grosgrain bow straps in coordinating color
- Fitted bodice with hidden back zip closure
- Full A-line skirt with side seam pockets
- Knee-length hem approximately 24 inches from natural waist
Fabric & construction
We selected a cotton-poplin blend for the Seline dress with bows because it offers the perfect balance of structure and comfort. The 78% cotton content keeps the fabric breathable and soft against your skin, while the 22% polyester adds just enough body to maintain the dress’s elegant silhouette throughout wear.
The grosgrain ribbon bows are sewn with reinforced stitching at the shoulder attachment points, ensuring they can be adjusted and tied repeatedly without compromising durability. Our hidden back zipper features a custom pull tab that lies flat beneath the fabric, creating clean lines from every angle. The full cotton voile lining moves independently from the outer shell, preventing cling and adding an extra layer of comfort during warmer months.
Sizing & fit guide
The Seline dress is designed with a fitted bodice that follows your natural waist before releasing into a full A-line skirt. We recommend selecting your usual size for a true-to-size fit that skims the body without feeling restrictive.
The adjustable bow straps offer approximately three inches of length customization, making this style particularly accommodating for different torso lengths. If you typically find yourself between sizes, we suggest sizing up for a more relaxed fit through the bodice. The dress measures approximately 36 inches from shoulder to hem in size medium, falling just above the knee on most body types. For reference, our fit model is 5’7″ and wears a size small with the bows tied at their standard length.
Care instructions
Machine wash the Seline dress on a gentle cycle in cold water with like colors. We recommend placing the dress in a mesh laundry bag to protect the bow details during the wash cycle.
Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry to minimize wrinkle formation. If pressing is needed, use a medium-heat iron on the cotton setting while the fabric is slightly damp for best results. Steam is equally effective and gentler on the grosgrain ribbons. Avoid bleach and harsh detergents, which can fade the fabric and weaken the fibers over time. When storing, hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shoulder shape and prevent creasing in the skirt.

Questions about the Seline dress with bows
The grosgrain ribbon bows are threaded through reinforced loops at the shoulder seams, giving you approximately three inches of adjustment range. Simply untie the bow, pull more or less ribbon through the loop to achieve your desired strap length, and retie. The ribbons are securely anchored inside the bodice, so you can adjust them as often as needed without damaging the construction.
Absolutely. The Seline layers beautifully with cardigans, blazers, and jackets for transitional seasons. Many of our customers wear it with tights and ankle boots in fall, or layer a turtleneck underneath during early spring. The adjustable straps accommodate layering pieces without compromising the dress's silhouette.
We recommend a strapless or convertible-strap bra for the cleanest look, as the adjustable bow straps sit at the outer edge of the shoulders. The dress is fully lined, so it provides coverage without requiring a slip. Many customers find that seamless undergarments work best to avoid visible lines through the fitted bodice.

The full A-line skirt is designed to maintain its shape and coverage when seated. The cotton-poplin blend has enough body to prevent excessive wrinkling, while the lining ensures the skirt doesn't ride up or cling. The side seam pockets are positioned to lie flat whether you're standing or sitting, preserving the dress's elegant lines throughout wear.
Yes, the Seline is appropriate for semi-formal and garden formal events. The grosgrain bow details and structured silhouette give it an elevated feel that works well for daytime weddings, cocktail parties, and special celebrations. Pair it with refined accessories and heels to dress it up, or keep it more casual with simple sandals for daytime gatherings.
The cotton-poplin blend is relatively wrinkle-resistant compared to pure cotton or linen. For travel, we recommend folding the dress with tissue paper at the creases and packing it near the top of your suitcase. Upon arrival, hang it in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes or use a handheld steamer to release any minor wrinkles. The fabric responds well to both methods without requiring a full ironing session.
