Long and lean, breezy and chic—Rory is your new best (dressed) friend. Designed for a loose fit in a maxi-length.

Fits true to size

Famous Denim, 100% Cotton

Rory is everything we ever wanted in a full-length, button-up dress. A long, lean, and lovely silhouette elongates your torso and feels extra-airy, while Rory's statement chest pocket and easy-to-roll sleeves exude breezy California chic.

  • Hand-distressed shirttail hem
  • Front button closure
  • Long sleeves with button cuffs
  • Signature bust flattering button placement with chest pocket
  • Paloma is 5'9" with a 34" bust wearing a size S
  • 47" length from shoulder to hem (size S)
  • This style was made using a small batch garment-dye process, giving each piece a unique look that will evolve and fade over time
  • This “legendary” denim is hand-finished by artisans in California, featuring one-of-a-kind details—and it only grows softer with every wash.
  • 100% Cotton. Our cotton is sourced, spun, dyed, and woven in Egypt, then cut, sewn, and finished right here in California.
  • We recommend washing separately in cold water before the first wear to prevent any color transfer. After that, machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low.

How to Measure

BUST

Wrap a soft measuring tape under your arms and around the fullest part of your chest. Avoid pulling the measuring tape too tightly.

Pro Tip: Keep your favorite undergarment on while you measure to get the most accurate number.

NATURAL WAIST

Stand up straight and relax your stomach, then wrap a soft measuring tape at the midway point between the bottom of your ribcage and your hip bone. Avoid pulling the measuring tape too tightly.

HIP

Stand with your feet hips width distance and flat, then wrap a soft measuring tape around the widest point of your hip.

Pro Tip: Sitting down while you take this measurement ensures accuracy and provides added comfort for the best fit.

INSEAM

Use a soft measuring tape to measure from the highest point of your inner thigh to the bottom of where the pant will hit. For instance, if the inseam is 27”, you’ll measure 27” down.

Pro Tip: Measuring with shoes on lets you see the full picture and ensures your pants fall exactly where you want them.

Reviews

Versatile and fabulous

"Love the color and weight of the fabric. So comfortable like a soft denim shirt. I love that it hangs straight and can be casual or dressed up with a belt, shoes, and jewelry."

— Kelly S. (5/5)

The dress is great, fabric

"The dress is great, fabric is fabulous but I hope I future you will think about those of us who are not 5’ 10” tall! I’ve taken my dress to my local tailor so that he can take it up (replicating the shirttail hem and also moving the Frank & Eileen ribbon) to fit my 5’ 2” frame. I’m looking forward to wearing it but the need for alterations is adding $100+ to the price which makes it a *very* expensive dress."

— Jill B. (5/5)

Casual comfort!

"This is the second Rory Denim Dress I've purchased. The fabric is soft and comfortable and the style is casual at its best. The new Pool Water Blue is a perfect warm weather color. It runs true to size but the length is quite long, needing shortening for me with a modest height."

— Deborah R. (5/5)

Lovely…but needs pockets!

"I love my first linen Rory dress and adore my new denim one…but oh my goodness, they need pockets! So surprised they are not designed with them…even wedding dresses have em now. I would order more but only if pockets were created! Dresses are awesome, otherwise and I love this company…"

— Julie P. (4/5)

Kaye

"I love my Rory. Fits well and will be a go to dress this summer. Size was just as you guys predicted. Too bad I didn't listen the first time but finally got it right. I love the denim material. Just the right weight for summer."

— Kaye M. (5/5)

Rory dress

"Love it! Fits beautifully, always appropriate!"

— Kelly T. (5/5)

The best pink ever

"I love this dress. It is the most wonderful color of pink. I have a few Rory dresses. I used to get a medium but found that the small is a little better on me. I usually get the cotton or linen. They are perfect for Hawaii. This is the first one I’ve gotten in denim. It’s a bit heavier so it won’t work in Hawaii, but it’s perfect for Southern California weather. Love it!"

— Sally G. (5/5)

Perfect fit

"This dress was a perfect fit, I will be ordering more."

— Alexis K. (5/5)

Love the fit, could do without the distressing

"I like this dress. I added a snap for modesty at the top since the top button starts lower than usual. I really dislike all the distressing…fraying at the hem is fine, but I wish the button placket wasn’t distressed."

— Elizabeth T. (5/5)

Best dress

"The Rory dress is a must have in your closet! I have 2 and wear them all the time. Lightweight and super comfy!"

— Maura K. (5/5)
