The Black Shirt Dress

Effortless elegance, head to toe.

NGN 38,500

A long, button-up shirt dress cut from flowing black fabric that skims the body without clinging. Paired with matching wide-leg trousers underneath, this monochromatic ensemble creates a single, unbroken line that elongates and flatters — the very definition of effortless elegance.

The shirt dress features a full-length button placket that allows you to adjust the neckline from demure to relaxed, while the wide-leg trousers move with graceful volume. Together, they form a versatile foundation piece that transitions seamlessly from a formal event to a quiet dinner.

The fabric is chosen for its fluid drape and soft hand — it moves when you move, catches light beautifully, and resists wrinkling through a long day of wear.

The Details

  • Long-sleeve button-up shirt dress, ankle-length
  • Coordinating wide-leg trousers with elasticated waist
  • Full-length centre-front button placket
  • Mandarin collar with clean finish
  • Side pockets on trousers
  • Designed and made in Lagos, Nigeria

Fabric

Both pieces: flowing crepe with a soft matte finish — 95% polyester, 5% elastane for subtle stretch and recovery.

Care

  • Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle
  • Wash with similar colours
  • Do not bleach
  • Hang dry or tumble dry on low
  • Warm iron on reverse if needed

Sizing & Fit

True to size with a relaxed fit. Model is 175cm and wears a size M. The wide-leg trousers sit high on the waist — if you are between sizes, size up for comfort.

Styling Notes

Wear the pieces together for a monochromatic statement, or style the shirt dress alone over slim pants. Add transparent heels and statement sunglasses for a polished, editorial finish.
