Cassidy takes a stripe in two directions and still makes it look easy.

The Cassidy is a belted shirt-style dress made from 100% viscose, true to size. It's cut in a creme and chocolate stripe, with the stripe running on the bias across the bodice and vertically through the skirt. It has a collar, a button stand with its own stripe detail, and a waist seam for definition, worn with a belt and buckle. The skirt falls in an A-line shape. It's made in Cape Town, South Africa, by a small all-female team, in a limited run.

The bias cut through the bodice sends the stripe diagonally across the chest and shoulders, then hands off to a straight vertical line the moment it hits the waist seam. Two directions, one dress, and it doesn't look accidental because it isn't.

The button stand carries its own stripe detail rather than disappearing into the print, and the collar keeps the shape structured up top. The A-line skirt gives it movement without losing the shape it's built on.

The sleeve is gauged into a cuff, no button, so it sits close without fuss. Belt it at the waist for the definition it's built for.
