Derry | Collared Maxi Shirt Dress with Side Slits

Some dresses ask for an occasion. The Derry creates one. A relaxed turn-down collar, a soft V-placket opening, three-quarter sleeves that sit right at the wrist, side slits that move with every step, an ankle-length silhouette that falls clean from shoulder to floor — this is the dress for the slow market morning, the long lunch with old friends, the Tuesday that suddenly turns into something worth remembering.

"The Derry is the dress I reach for when I want to look like I tried — without actually trying. The collar is what makes it. It gives the whole dress structure, even when the print does all the talking. Navy Toile is heirloom and grown-up. Black & Gold is quiet drama. Folk Print is the one you wear when you want to be seen smiling. Leather slides, a real handbag, gold hoops. Done." — Sarah Mitchell, Founder of Valora New York

✔ Turn-Down Collar with V-Placket — a soft shirt collar that opens into a clean V-neckline, frames your face without competing with the print, and gives the dress its quiet sense of structure.

✔ Three-Quarter Sleeves — sit just below the elbow, show a little wrist, and keep the dress wearable from breakfast through dinner without ever feeling too warm or too covered.

✔ Side Slits at the Hem — discreet slits that release the skirt as you walk, add ease to long strides, and make flat sandals or ankle boots both work effortlessly.

✔ Ankle-Length Straight Silhouette — falls from the shoulders without clinging, skims the body in a straight clean line, and flatters every shape from petite to curvy.

✔ Soft Cotton Fabric — lightweight, breathable, holds its print beautifully, and softens with every wash without losing the crisp shape that makes this dress feel intentional.

✔ Three Statement Prints — Navy Toile on cream for old-world elegance and weekend lunches. Black & Gold for evenings that deserve a second look. Folk Print for the days you want color to do the talking.

One dress. Three moods. Every season worth dressing for.
