Uses

Dressy Daytime Events and Brunch

The crocheted oval bodice and collar details make this dress feel special without being overdressed, making it suitable for dressy daytime events and brunch.[1]

Warm-weather wear with sheer crocheted panels

This black minidress pairs crocheted oval panels across the chest with a sheer upper yoke, making it a warm-weather option. Per a customer review, the shoulder panels are see-through, so expect to add a camisole or layer for modesty, or accept the sheerness as part of the look.[1,2]

Buying online in standard sizing — expect a roomier fit

Shoppers ordering this Icône minidress online in standard sizing should plan around a fit that reviewers report runs large. Based on an analysis of customer reviews, some buyers sized down or anticipated exchanges when between sizes. Since original review details aren't available, treat this as a reported experience rather than a guaranteed fit.[1]

Crocheted Ovals Flared Poplin Minidress

Icône

simons.ca

Crocheted Ovals Flared Poplin Minidress: Choose this if you want a black cotton-poplin minidress whose crocheted oval bodice and ruffled collar details reviewers describe as feeling special without being overdressed for dressy daytime events and brunch. The design pairs a semi-sheer mesh yoke and sheer pleated ruffle hem with a gathered, flared A-line body that falls above the knee, and it is lined from bust to hem in 100 percent cotton. Note that most reviewers found it runs large and voluminous—especially on petite frames—so sizing down is advised, and the see-through shoulder panels may require a camisole or a layer.[1,2,3,4]Openwork Broderie Anglaise Belted Minidress: Choose this if you want a white broderie anglaise minidress in finely woven 100% organic cotton with allover floral eyelet embroidery, designed in Canada as an Icône by Simons exclusive. It suits shoppers drawn to romantic detailing: a V neckline trimmed with ladder-style openwork, long puff sleeves with elastic cuffs, a vertical button placket, and a twisted cord belt with golden star charms at the natural waist. The cropped, slightly flared A-line silhouette ends above the knee with a broad scalloped, ruffled eyelet hem (measured length about 35.50 inches or 90 centimeters from the top of the shoulder), with fine lining and sizes from X-Small to X-Large.[5,6,7,8,9]Organic Cotton Jersey And Broderie Anglaise Minidress: Choose this if you want an ultra-soft, breathable 100% organic cotton jersey minidress for hot days, travel, or casual-to-business-casual wear — reviewers raved about all-day comfort, and the scalloped broderie anglaise sleeves and hem plus chic detail were widely praised. It has a relaxed, cropped-and-flared cut with a crew neck, short sleeves, and a 32 inch (81 cm) length from the shoulder. Be aware most reviewers say it runs large (many suggest sizing down for a less oversized look), the boxy cut lacks waist definition, it hits above mid-thigh and can be too short for those 5 feet 8 inches and taller, and a few noted inconsistent fabric quality or crooked seams between purchases.[10]

Very stiff fabric

★★★★★Karen F.

The fabric is stiff and so does not fall softly on the body. Quite A-line

Lovely Dress

★★★★★Nathalie W.

This dress was quite nice with the lovely detail at the collar area but unfortunetely way too big for me. Sadly I must return it.
