Fits true to size

Italian Dream™ Light Denim, 91% Cotton, 7% EME, 2% EA

Meet the casually elevated, everyday Ireland Dress of your dreams! Inspired by our beloved Ireland Playsuit and Jumpsuit, this dress has the same never-too-tight fit, scrunchable sleeves, and six handy pockets as her two Irish sibling styles—but in an outrageously wearable dress silhouette that's both flattering and functional.

  • Front button closure
  • Long easy-to-roll sleeves with button cuffs
  • Chest, front, and back patch pockets
  • Milan is 5'9" with a 33" bust wearing a size S
  • A lighter sibling to our Italian Dream™ Denim, this paperweight denim holds its shape without sacrificing comfort.
  • 91% Cotton, 7% EME, 2% EA
  • Our cotton is spun, dyed, and woven into fabric at our Italian partner’s denim mill, which is located on a European nature preserve. Once it reaches sunny California, the final steps—cutting, sewing, dyeing, and hand-finishing—are all completed within a 25-mile radius.
  • 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.

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.

Reviews

Size M Ireland dress exchanged for Size L = Terrific

"I bought this 1984 wash Italian denim dress in size M after reading comments in the reviews. It was attractive; however the chest was so snug that it created a gap between the top two buttons. I contacted customer service for the garment measurements of size L and exchanged my original order for size L. It is a superior fit for me. I am 5'3", about 40-34-39,a few years past age 60. In the larger size everything is flattering and shapely without appearing oversized. The finished length of the garment is a full inch more than on a size M. My older self will appreciate that extra length down the road. Sleeves are a bit long but they look great turned up. I may add one more button and buttonhole above the first button. I expect to wear and enjoy this timeless dress for a decade or two."

Not exactly as shown!

"I wanted to love this dress but it is definitely not as long as shown on the model. I am barely 5'6" - I am guessing the model is a few inches taller - and the dress is at least 4-5 inches above the top of my knee. I purchased a Small and weigh 115 lbs. Otherwise the fit is good. Also - the denim is not particularly lightweight??? Too bad the dress is not longer as shown. I have to return it. :-("

Wonderful dress but not for the well endowed

"Love the fabric! Love the color! Love the length! Love everything about this dress but it is not made for those of us lucky enough to have a larger chest. If you are someone who is comfortable wearing a tank top with it and leaving the dress unbuttoned, that could work for you, but that's not me. Plus for the price, it needed to be something I would reach for often and not be self-conscious in. Everything else about the dress fit perfectly, except the chest area. Sadly, I returned it."

Cute Dress!

"I had to return the Small but the Medium fit perfectly. I'm 5'6' and the length was fine. Very comfortable on with nice details - it will look good with boots or tights in the fall."

Irelan dress, 1984 wash

"LOVE the dress, ordered small, my normal size and fits perfectly. The fabric is super comfortable and versatile, of course, it's denim! I had also ordered the Cabana stripe style in small which was too big! The only thing I would say is the dress is basically all the same color without "faded" areas as shown in the pic, which I would have preferred."

Love this dress!! The soft

"Love this dress!! The soft fabric and rich color make a perfect outfit for work or play depending on accessaries. I tried the medium first, too tight, large was too tight and extra large just right. It seems to run small, my usual size is medium. But the XL fits perfectly so you have a very happy customer once again."

— Kelly R. (5/5)

I loved the style of

"I loved the style of the dress and the denim was lightweight. I am usually between a small and medium and I got a medium based on reviews. It was still slightly tight so I'm wondering if a large would actually be better. If between sizes, definitely size up."

— Susanne G. (4/5)

Super happy with this one!

"I first ordered the Ireland in performance linen (XS) but the fabric was a little heavier weight than I wanted and the fit had a little less wiggle room than desired, so I exchanged it for the dream denim. Fabric & fit on this one is perfect. . . it's super cute, lighter in weight and softer than the linen version, plus a bit roomier with some stretch. For reference, this runs significantly smaller than my XS classic linen Mary dress, and just a bit smaller then my XS denim Mary, so I'm saying the overall fit on the Ireland is small. The length is 2 or 3" above the knee on me, similar length to the denim Mary. I'm very glad I kept this one!"

Love, love this denim dress

"I owned this Ireland dress in the lighter denim and while I really liked it, ended up buying the dark denim which I loved (selling the lighter color). Am actually leaving for Ireland next week on a cruise and can’t wait to wear it. It feels decadent on and is super flattering. I am a medium in other Ireland dresses (performance linen) but ordered the large in the denim which is a better fit for me. It’s a splurge but if you are considering, you won’t regret it! One of my favorite Frank & Eileen pieces."

Longer lengths please!

"Love your dresses - but I no longer want to wear mini dresses. Can you please add a couple of inches in Length to your dresses and skirts for the aging population?? Perhaps offer in 2 lengths?!?"
