Yellow ruffle dress in a floral midi cut

Ruffles at the waist and what they do when you move

Most ruffles sit at a hem or a sleeve. We put these on the waistline instead. When you walk or dance, they set the skirt moving, and that shows up especially well on video. So if there’s dancing on the schedule, you’ll like how it looks in the clips afterward.

The rest of the cut is simple. No sleeves, a V-neck and a midi hem. Bare arms and an open neckline keep it light on a hot evening.

The yellow itself is sunny, and a flower print sits on top of it. From a distance the dress still looks bright, which helps in photos taken by the sea or in a garden.

What we’d wear with sunny yellow

Yellow looks especially good on tanned skin. It also gets along with white, beige and blue denim, and that covers most of a summer wardrobe already. For a cocktail or a summer party we’d go with sandals close to your skin tone and a small bag. Daytime is easier still, since white sneakers, a straw hat and a jean jacket draped over your shoulders are all it takes.

What about jewelry? A pair of gold earrings is plenty beside a print this lively.

So where does it go? To a summer cocktail, to a party with dancing, to a photo walk by the sea or through a garden. It’s the kind of dress that lifts your mood before you’ve even left the house.

Size, fit and when it’s in the catalog

Two measurements decide the fit of this ruffle yellow dress, your bust and your waist. Compare both with the size chart before anything else. We cut and sew it ourselves in XS to XL, where M is roughly a US 6–8. XL costs about 10% more than the smaller sizes.

It’s a summer design. That means it leaves the catalog in the cold months and returns when the weather turns warm, so the quiet season is a good time to work out your size and plan the outfit.

In the meantime, see the other yellows we sew or ruffles in every color.

Frequently asked questions

Is the dress plain yellow?

No. It’s yellow with a flower print across it.

Does it have sleeves?

It doesn’t. When the evening cools off, a denim jacket over your shoulders works with the midi length.

Can I wear a ruffle yellow dress in the daytime?

Sure. With white sneakers and a straw hat it’s a daytime outfit, and sandals with a small bag turn it toward evening.

Where are your other yellow midis?

They’re on the yellow midi page, and more flower prints on yellow are under yellow florals.
