The Design Story

Knotty Affair ties a bow where you'd expect a button — and somehow that's the whole point.

A yarn-dyed cotton stripe runs the length of a collared, long-sleeved dress, but the sculptural bow gathered at the chest is what pulls focus — hand-shaped, not flat-stitched, so it holds real dimension. Scalloped lace trim runs down the placket and collar edge, softening all that crisp cotton structure.

Occasion — Festive lunches, daytime functions, or anywhere a striped dress needs to feel like an event, not a picnic

Silhouette & Fit — Collared button-through front, long sleeves, sculptural bust bow, midi length.

Garment Details

Composition & Specifications

• Shell Fabric: Yarn-dyed cotton stripe, woven thread by thread rather than printed — the kind of stripe that doesn't fade or shift no matter how many summers it sees
• Lining: Unlined
• Construction Details: Hand-shaped bust bow, long sleeves with buttoned cuff, scalloped lace trim at placket, functional button-through front
• Design Detail: Sculptural bow at bust — hand-finished, holds dimension

Wash & Care

• Dry clean recommended to maintain fabric crispness and structural integrity.

• Iron on low to medium heat, avoiding direct contact with the bow and lace trim.

• Store on a padded hanger to preserve the bow shape.

Size, Fit & Measurements

• Model is wearing: Size M  |  Model height: [5'7"]
• Fit Advice: Runs true to size. If between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a comfortable fit through the structured bustier.
• Available Sizes: S – XL
• Size Chart: Please check our Size Guide before ordering — every MFY piece is made in small batches, so we're unable to alter sizing after production.

Every piece from Meant For You is made in small, considered drops — not mass-produced, not restocked on demand. Knotty Affair was cut, sewn, and finished for this collection alone, which is part of why it deserves a little patience and a lot of care.
