Shelter Dress - Denim
Always a winner, our Shelter Dress is back! Folks love this dress for its clean lines, easy fit, and pockets. Flattering details include a V-neckline, loose cap sleeves and front single-pleat, for a seamless blend of style and comfort. It also looks great cinched at the waist with a belt, and you can transition this dress into an all-season staple by wearing it with tights and a long-sleeve tee or cardigan in cooler weather.

Fabric: 100% cotton
Please note: the denim should be handwashed in cold water, separate or with like-coloured garments to avoid colour transfer.
Sustainably designed and sewn in our Victoria, BC studio with fabric sourced from our trusted Vancouver-based supplier.

How to Read Our Size Chart
Our size chart uses flat measurements taken with each garment laid out on a table and not stretched. To compare these to your own body, double the flat numbers or match them to a similar piece in your closet. Our FLATS highlight on Instagram walks through this step by step, and we are always happy to help if you need support.
Relaxed Fits & One-Size Items
Some of our styles, like those marked SM / ML / XL, are designed with a looser, more relaxed fit. If you’re in between sizes or prefer a closer fit, you might find sizing down works best.
A few pieces, usually those made with knit (stretchy) fabrics — like the Olympia Tops, Judiths, Bralettes and Underlovelies — are intentionally cut to sit closer to the body and may feel more snug than our typical relaxed styles.
