Lapel Bodycon Pencil Dress
A sharp sheath dress with a suit-style lapel that reads polished the second you put it on. The pencil silhouette skims close through the body — office-ready and easy to take into the evening. Add pumps and a structured bag.
- Fit: Bodycon, close to the body
- Details: Suit-style lapel collar, pencil silhouette
- Color: Black
- Sizes: S–L. Runs small — if you're between sizes, size up. See the Size Guide for measurements.
Finding the right fit online can be tricky, so start by measuring yourself, match your measurements to the chart below, then check the Fit and Sizes notes on each product page for anything specific to that piece.
How to Measure
Use a soft tape measure and keep it level and snug, not tight. It helps to measure over thin clothing or bare skin.
- Bust: around the fullest part of your chest.
- Waist: around the narrowest part of your waist.
- Hips: around the fullest part of your hips.
- Length: when a product page lists a garment length, compare it with a similar item you already own and like.

A Note on Fit
Because our styles tend to run small, the size that matches your body measurements is the minimum — many customers prefer to size up for a comfortable fit, especially in woven pieces with no stretch (measurements matter most there). Stretch fabrics give you a little more room. When in doubt, go up.
