Ponte A-Line Ruffle Placket Dress

The gold buttons on the ruffle placket make this look way dressier than a typical cotton dress. I wore it to a work lunch and sat through a three-hour meeting without any wrinkling or pinching.

I was worried ponte would feel stiff, but it's actually soft and stretches just enough for sitting through meetings. The A-line cut hits right above the knee and the ruffle placket keeps it from looking plain.

The gold buttons on the ruffle placket add just the right amount of polish without feeling fussy, and the stretchy ponte fabric moves with me all day. I wore it to a lunch meeting and got three compliments, then threw it in the wash and it came out looking brand new.
