Product Type: Maxi Dress

Rickrack is the zigzag braid your grandmother sewed onto aprons, and it looks wonderful on a long white dress. The Aleah is a white cotton maxi dress with yellow and pink rickrack running along its tiers, a collared V-neck that buttons down the front, short sleeves, pockets and a drawstring at the waist.

  • Waist where you want. A drawstring cinches the dress at any point between loose and fitted.
  • Color on white. Yellow and pink trim keep a white dress from looking bridal.
  • Collar and buttons. The shirt-style top makes it feel put together without effort.

A White Cotton Dress with Rickrack

A white cotton dress is the most useful thing in a summer closet, and also the easiest to make look plain. The rickrack fixes that. The yellow line sits higher on the skirt and the pink one lower, so the trim draws two bright stripes across the white and makes the tiers look deliberate. It is a white dress you can wear to a wedding as a guest, since the colored trim clearly reads as a summer sundress rather than anything bridal.

The trim also brings a touch of vintage. Rickrack had its moment on fifties housedresses and seventies peasant skirts, and it still signals home-sewn charm, even here where it arrives already stitched on.

Cinching the Drawstring Waist

Pulled snug, the drawstring gives the dress a defined waist and lets the tiers flare. Left loose, the dress hangs straight from the shoulders like a relaxed shirt dress, which is the better choice on a very hot day. Tie it in a small bow at the front or tuck the ends inside the waistband for a cleaner line.

Keeping White Cotton Bright

White cotton stays white with a few habits. Wash it only with other whites, keep the water cool to warm, and reach for an oxygen bleach rather than chlorine bleach, which can yellow cotton and pull color from the rickrack. Treat sunscreen and deodorant marks before washing, since heat sets them.

Under any white cotton, choose skin-tone underwear rather than white; a shade matched to your skin vanishes where white would show through. A slip adds extra cover if you want it for a bright day.

It comes in women's S (4/6), M (8/10), L (12/14) and XL (16/18), so a size 10 orders the M and a 14 orders the L. Cotton does not stretch, so measure your bust and choose the size that clears it.

Rickrack Maxi Dress Wear and Care

Will the colored trim bleed onto the white? Wash it cold the first few times and check the water; excess dye from colored trim usually rinses out within the first few cycles.

Can the drawstring pull out in the wash? It can if the ends are loose, so tie them in a bow before the dress goes in and the cord stays threaded through the waistband.

What bag suits a white dress with colored trim? A natural straw or rattan bag keeps it relaxed, while a yellow or pink bag that matches the rickrack makes it feel styled.
