The dress you'll reach for all summer long

There's that one dress every woman ends up loving most.

The one she pulls out for the garden, then again for dinner, then again the next morning.

Elira is that dress — soft-drape stripes, a relaxed button-front shirt collar, and a midi cut that falls just right.

Throw it on with sandals or dress it up with jewelry. It's ready when you are.

Frequently asked questions

Does the fabric feel breathable in warm weather?
Yes. The airy, linen-look weave lets air pass through, so it stays light and cool even on hot afternoons.

Will the relaxed fit look flattering on a curvier shape?
The gathered waist seam creates definition without clinging. It skims rather than hugs, which works beautifully across body shapes.

How does the midi length sit on shorter women?
For most women between 5'2" and 5'8", the midi falls between mid-calf and ankle. Slightly longer on shorter heights, but still flattering with flat sandals.

Do the stripes fade after washing?
The colors hold well with cold wash. We recommend hanging to dry to preserve both the stripes and the drape.

Kind Words From Our Customers

I was nervous to order online but the quality blew me away. Fits perfectly and looks exactly like the photos. Already ordered two more pieces!

Patricia H., Nashville, TN

I followed the size guide and it fit like it was made for me. Wore it to church Sunday and three women asked where I got it.

Diane R., Atlanta, GA

Had to return one top and customer service was so kind and easy. Got my refund within days and ordered again the same day.

Carol W., Phoenix, AZ

I thought boutique meant expensive but I got three beautiful pieces for less than one from the department store. My sister ordered the same day she saw me wearing it.

Beverly T., Richmond, VA

Everything in stores is either for teenagers or for women who gave up on style. Dorothy and James is different. I feel like myself again.

Margaret L., Portland, OR

I never spend money on myself but my friend said this sale was a gift from Dorothy and James to me. She was right. Worth every penny.

Ruth Ann K., Charlotte, NC

Arrived faster than I expected and packaged so nicely. The quality is better than anything I've found at the mall. Best online purchase I've made in years.

Sandra M., Columbus, OH
