The Foundation Dress

Say goodbye to too-low necklines and shapeless silhouettes. The Foundation Dress is designed for women who want modesty without sacrificing style, especially those with a fuller bust. Its tailored hourglass fit skims your curves, with no boxy waist and no exposed bra straps or bands.

Made from a breathable cotton blend (96% cotton, 4% elastane), this dress offers soft stretch and structure in all the right places. The dress measures 37.25 inches from the top of the shoulder to the hem in a size Medium, for timeless elegance and ease.

Whether you're heading to work with a blazer, enjoying a sunny picnic, or grabbing coffee with friends, this is the versatile, bust-friendly staple you've been waiting for.

Size and fit: Our founder Kristen is 5'6" (168 cm) with a 42" bust, 34.5" waist and 45" hips (UK 32HH). She wears a Large. Open the Size Chart next to the size selector or see our full size guide.

FAQs

Will it pull at the bust?

The Foundation Dress is shaped with extra room in the bust, an hourglass waist and a modest neckline, so you do not have to size up for your chest. Choose your size using our bra size calculator and the size chart next to the size selector, and check your waist too.

Will my bra straps or band show, and which bra should I wear?

No. The Foundation Dress is designed with no exposed bra straps or bands, so a supportive everyday bra works well. Measure your bust while wearing the bra you plan to wear with the dress, then use the bra size calculator in Find My Size for a starting size.

Is the neckline too low or too revealing?

No. The Foundation Dress is designed for modesty, without the too-low necklines that show too much cleavage, so you can wear it to work with a blazer.

Will it look boxy at the waist?

No. The tailored hourglass fit skims your curves with no boxy waist. The cotton blend (96% cotton, 4% elastane) has soft stretch and structure, but your bust still decides the fit across the chest, so check your waist as well as your bust when you choose a size.

What if I am between sizes?

Check your bust and your waist. If your waist points to a larger size than your bust does, choose the larger size, and size up if your waist is at the top of a size range. The fabric has a little give, about 2 inches of extra waist room, but your bust still decides the fit across the chest. Still unsure? Get fitted and we will email you a size recommendation within 24 hours, Monday to Friday.
