Crisp • Pleated • Short and Sweet

A cotton poplin shirt dress with a pintucked waist and a full pleated skirt.

The Hinoki Journal

A shirt dress that does the shaping for you.

The whole trick is at the waist. Rows of fine pintucks draw the body in without a belt or a seam, then release all at once into deep pleats that give the skirt its swing. Above them the fit stays easy — a soft point collar, a full button placket, and a dropped shoulder that runs into a short cuffed sleeve. Cut in a crisp cotton poplin that holds the pleats sharp and settles as the day goes on.

Why It Found Its Way to Hinoki

Structure this considered usually comes with a price and a dry-clean tag. This one gets there with nothing but pintucks and good cutting, in two colors that feel like the first warm week of the year.

Hinoki Fit Notes

This dress runs true to size. The pintucked waist has a little give, and the dropped shoulder keeps the fit relaxed through the arm.

✦ Amy's Styling Tip

I wear this exactly as it comes with a flat sandal in the warm months, then add a fine knit underneath and a boot to carry it further into the year. Undo the bottom few buttons if you want more movement.

Hinoki Care Suggestions

Machine wash cold on gentle and hang to dry. A light press keeps the pleats crisp.
