The collared sweater dress that does the styling work for you.
On the slim ribbed midi with a structured collar and a short button placket — add knee-high boots and it goes from errands to dinner without changing a thing.
A knit dress is wonderfully comfortable — but most of them look like loungewear the moment you step out the door.
The Lacey is the exception. A structured collar and a short button placket give it a polished, sweater-meets-shirtdress look, while the ribbed knit with stretch follows your natural line and moves comfortably all day. It falls just past the knee, so it's made for boots — and it instantly looks put-together.
Here is why the Wrenley family made it this way, in their own words.
1A collar that makes it look elevated
The structured collar and three buttons at the neckline turn a simple knit dress into something that looks considered and polished — more shirtdress than sweater. Wear it buttoned up or open at the collar.
2A slim ribbed knit that moves with you
The ribbing holds a slim, streamlined shape that follows your natural line, and the stretch means it moves comfortably with you — from your morning coffee in the kitchen right through the day.
3A midi length made for boots
It ends just past the knee — the perfect length to meet a pair of knee-high boots. You get lovely coverage that works for a casual afternoon on the terrace and a dressier evening alike.
4Easy to layer
The close fit sits smoothly under a long coat or a belted blazer, so you can wear it from the first cool days of fall right through winter.
5Four colors, sizes XS to 3XL
Choose from khaki, black, yellow or red, in sizes XS all the way to 3XL — made to fit the woman, not to make the woman fit the dress.

I do not usually write things like this. But I spent too many years settling for clothes that were merely fine — and this one dress quietly gave me back the pleasure of getting dressed. If that sounds like you, I hope you find your size before it's gone.
