<-h2->Belted shirt dresses with tie waists<-h2-> A belt changes the shape of a dress. Our collection of belted shirt dresses works on exactly that principle, with collars, button-through fronts and tie waists that let you decide where the line sits. Cotton poplin for warm days, soft twill and jersey for cooler ones, in plain shades and prints that carry from desk to dinner. Wear one with flat sandals and a woven tote for a holiday afternoon, then trade in heeled mules, a slim gold tone chain and a clutch for dinner on the same day. Layer a fine knit over the top and leave the skirt showing for autumn, or open the buttons and wear it as a light shirt over straight-leg jeans. A leather look belt swapped in for the self-tie shifts the whole thing towards tailoring. Midi lengths, longer cuts and short sleeves all sit here, so there is a version for the office, the weekend and the wedding you have yet to reply to.
