Jilana | Stand-Collar Button-Front Ruffle Hem Maxi Dress

Some dresses are for occasions. The Jilana is for the days in between. A relaxed, voluminous maxi in a crisp lightweight fabric, a V-neckline finished with a stand collar and short button placket that keeps it from reading too casual, a gathered empire waist releasing into a full sweeping skirt, side pockets set into the seams, a layered ruffle hem that catches the air when you walk. This is the dress for the farmers market, the graduation lunch, the kind of Carmel-by-the-Sea morning you want to spend outside.

“I knew the Jilana was right the moment I saw the hem move. That double-tiered ruffle is what separates it from every other white maxi out there — it adds volume and rhythm without tipping into costume. And the stand collar means you can wear this with nothing around your neck and still look completely finished. Flat sandals in white, espadrilles in light blue, and you're set.” — Sarah Mitchell, Founder of Valora New York

✔ Stand Collar with Button Placket — a structured, upright collar with a short button-front opening that adds a tailored quality to an otherwise relaxed silhouette.

✔ Empire Waist with Gathered Skirt — a raised waistline with a full gather that releases into a voluminous skirt, flattering through the midsection and giving the dress its effortless, flowing shape.

✔ Layered Ruffle Hem — a double-tiered ruffle at the ankle that adds movement, volume, and a playful finish that photographs well and moves beautifully in person.

✔ Three-Quarter Sleeves — hit just below the elbow for a relaxed, unfussy look that works in warm weather without feeling like a full summer dress.

✔ Side Pockets — deep enough to be useful, set into the side seams so they don't interrupt the silhouette.

✔ Crisp Lightweight Fabric — a linen-look weave with enough body to hold the volume and enough air in it to stay comfortable through a long, warm afternoon.

✔ Two Colourways: White and Light Blue — white is the sharper, more classic read and pairs with sandals, espadrilles, or bare feet. light blue is softer and more relaxed, and the colour that makes a summer tan look its best.

✔ True US Sizing — runs true to your usual US size; size up for a roomier drape. S (US 6–8) bust 34–35", waist 27–28", hips 37–38" · M (US 10) bust 36–37", waist 29–30", hips 39–40" · L (US 12) bust 38–39", waist 31–32", hips 41–42" · XL (US 14) bust 40–41", waist 33–34", hips 43–44" · 2XL (US 16) bust 42–43", waist 35–36", hips 45–46"

Linen-look ease. A hem that moves. The maxi that makes any day feel like the good kind.
