The All-Day Work Dress

I am in a relatively conservative industry (law) and this is my go-to dress. I can have a formal office-friendly look with a structured jacket over this dress, or enjoy a more fluid look, pairing it with my Everyday Twist Top. It is ridiculously comfortable and washable! With the help of the fabulous Encircled team, I have created a functional and liveable work capsule wardrobe, combining two All Day Work Dresses and three Revolve Dresses. Last week alone I wore the Revolve Dress three different ways!
Encircled’s quality and function are second to none. Ethically made in Canada. What’s not to love?

Cette robe est très bien faite et la qualité est excellente. J'ai cependant dû la retourner car elle était beaucoup trop longue pour moi, malgré mes 5pi et 5po. Je ne souhaitais pas investir encore plus d'argent pour les retouches alors je l'ai retournée, sans aucun pépin !

I don’t understand why it seems like no one online is talking about this dress?! I know the price point seems high, but this is a really, really, REALLY nice dress.

The tricky part about these softer materials is that they can be clingy in a way that not everyone wants (regardless of size/shape) or that isn’t always appropriate for all occasions. But a more structured dress is often made from materials that are not sustainable. That presents a difficult situation for a conscious shopper. Somehow encircled has addressed this issue with this dress! It is nicely fitted at the top with a classy neckline and once you hit the waist there is a snug under layer and then the layer on top is more structured with those really flattering pleats (is that the right term?) and pockets! The pockets are great! I had an iPhoneXS Max in my pocket and it fit so nicely that I actually forgot it was there. I ran around my house wondering where I sat my phone down and then I remembered it was in my pocket. Haha! No joke!

Anyways I think this dress is a great marriage of super comfortable, sustainable fabric together with a wonderfully classy and professional dress design. If your lifestyle involves dressing up often then this may be a good investment piece for you. If you’re more of a casual person all the time, then it maybe wouldn’t be your jam.

I went with the recommended size Small for my measurements and it fits great. I am short at 5’ 2” and the dress hits just perfectly at the bottom of my knee which is my preferred length. If you are taller just bear in mind that it will be a bit shorter on you. There is a helpful box with the dress measurements from shoulder to waist seam and then from waist seam to hem so do check that out.

Very heavy material; better for cooler seasons. Fits true to size.

The fit and fabric of this dress make it perfect for a day in the office or out at meetings. I find myself choosing this dress over anything else in my closet, because it is simply beautiful, comfortable, and I can layer a cardigan or blazer over top. Love!
