Ardwelle - Knitted Polo Dress with Half Placket
Ardwelle - Knitted Polo Dress with Half Placket
A knitted polo dress with a three-button half placket, a flat collar and long sleeves.
The polo collar has quietly moved out of sportswear and into knitwear. On a dress it does something useful: it finishes the neckline so nothing else has to.
Why this polo dress?
- Half placket: three buttons open at the chest, which lets the collar sit flat or stand slightly open.
- Flat knitted collar: the collar is knitted as part of the garment rather than sewn on, so it lies without curling.
- Fine gauge: the knit is worked close, which keeps the surface smooth and the dress light enough for indoors.
- Side splits: short splits at each side seam release the hem so the dress does not pull when you sit.
- Straight body: the cut runs straight from the shoulder to the hem with no seam at the waist.
Ideal for:
Women who work somewhere without a dress code but still want to look put together by ten in the morning. It sits well under a blazer and just as well under a parka.
Is it warm enough on its own?
Indoors, yes. Outside in winter it is designed as a layer under a coat rather than as the coat itself.
Do the buttons feel bulky?
They are small and flat, set into a narrow placket, so they sit close to the chest.
Will it cling?
The knit is fine but not stretchy enough to grip. It follows the body loosely and skims the hip.
