Mikael Aghal Pleat-Detail Short-Sleeve Shirtdress in White

Crisp Tailoring with Timeless Feminine Appeal

Embrace effortless summer sophistication with this immaculate shirt-style midi dress by Mikael Aghal. A fresh, elevated take on the classic white dress, this piece beautifully pairs structured shirting elements with a highly flattering, sculpted silhouette. Crafted from a premium, lightweight woven cotton blend, it delivers an airy yet tailored look that transitions seamlessly from executive daytime meetings to weekend garden parties.

Intricate Pleating & Architectural Form

This dress stands out through its meticulous attention to texture and structure. The front bodice features a series of sharp, stitched down-vertical pleats that create beautiful dimension while drawing the eye inward. This intricate pleating extends seamlessly down past the high waistline, releasing into soft, pressed pleats that add elegant volume to the full A-line skirt.

The dress features a traditional pointed collar and a clean, hidden or tonal button-down placket running straight down the center front. The short sleeves are tailored with wide, crisp cuffs that boast subtle split-keyhole accents and a single button at the back of the arm—adding an unexpected architectural touch to a clean profile. The reverse showcases a smooth, cleanly tailored upper back that meets a softly elasticized or gathered waist for ease of movement.

Key Features & Style Highlights

• Stitched Vertical Pleat Bodice: Intricate top-stitched pleating across the chest contours the torso and lends a sharp, textural finish.

• Classic Shirtdress Elements: Designed with a traditional pointed collar, short sleeves, and a full-length button-down front placket.

• Pleated A-Line Midi Skirt: The bodice pleats gracefully release at the waist into a floating, voluminous skirt that falls to an elegant mid-calf length.

• Architectural Keyhole Cuffs: Short sleeves detailed with wide structured cuffs and delicate split-keyhole details at the back of the arm.

How to Style It

Keep the look bold and high-contrast by styling this dress with black platform heeled sandals as pictured, or soften the aesthetic for a resort look with tan leather slides and a woven raffia tote. Elevate the look for evening with gold sculptural jewelry and a sleek clutch.
