Monroe Fitted Dress in Black

The Monroe Fitted Dress in Black is the July 2026 Collection's definitive power dress. A midi-length sheath that hits below the knee, cut to follow the body's natural curves from the structured bodice down to the hem — smooth, precise, and deeply flattering. The padded cap shoulders bring a modern architectural edge to a silhouette that already commands attention, while the waist ruching draws the eye to the centre and accentuates the figure with effortless intention.

In black, the Monroe becomes a uniform for women who understand what they want and dress accordingly. Wear it to a formal dinner, an important meeting, a gallery opening — or any occasion where you want to arrive fully dressed and fully yourself.

Why You'll Love It

• Body-conforming midi sheath silhouette — hugs natural curves smoothly from bodice to below the knee
• Padded cap shoulders — a bold structural detail that broadens the shoulder line and adds modern drama
• Waist ruching — gathers the fabric at the natural waist to accentuate and define the figure
• Midi length — hits below the knee for a sophisticated, occasion-ready proportion
• All-black colourway — the most versatile, powerful option in the Monroe range

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash or gentle machine wash cold — wash with dark colours
• Do not bleach
• Hang to dry — avoid tumble drying to preserve the structured silhouette and shoulder shape
• Steam or iron on low heat to refresh; press shoulders carefully to maintain their structure
