Jilana | Maxi Dress with Stand Collar and Button Placket, Ruffled Hem

Some dresses are for special occasions. The Jilana is for days when you want to look like you've put in effort without actually doing so. A relaxed, voluminous maxi made from a wrinkle-free, lightweight fabric — V-neck with a stand collar and button placket that prevents it from looking too casual, a gathered empire waist that transitions into a voluminous, flowing skirt, and a layered ruffled hem that catches the air as you walk. This is the dress that works for a seaside lunch, at a farmer's market, or in a friend's garden. Anywhere the day is relaxed and the light is good.

"I knew the Jilana was the right choice the moment I saw the hem move. This layered ruffle at the bottom sets it apart from any other white maxi dress — it adds volume and rhythm without making the dress look costumed or overdone. The stand collar with the button placket is the other detail I keep coming back to: it makes the neckline interesting without being complicated, and means you can wear it without anything around your neck and still look completely put together. In white, it’s the most classic — almost vintage French. In light blue, it’s softer, more relaxed, and honestly the one I reach for first on a warm morning." — Sarah Mitchell, Founder of Fischner Berlin

✔ Stand Collar with Button Placket — a structured, upright collar with a short button placket that adds a tailored, French-inspired quality to an otherwise relaxed silhouette.

✔ Empire Waist with Gathered Skirt — a raised waist with full gathering that transitions into a voluminous skirt, flattering through the waist and giving the dress its effortless, flowing shape.

✔ Layered Ruffled Hem — a double-layer ruffle at the ankle that adds movement, volume, and a playful finish that looks great in photos and is lovely in reality.

✔ 3/4-Length Sleeves — ending just below the elbow for a relaxed, uncomplicated look that works in warm weather without feeling like a full summer dress.

✔ Side Pockets — deep enough to be useful, sewn into the side seams so they don't interrupt the silhouette.

✔ Two Color Variants: White and Light Blue — White is the sharper, more classic choice — pairs well with sandals, espadrilles, or bare feet. Light blue is softer and more relaxed, the color that best complements a summer tan.

Lightness in a high-quality material look. French collar structure. The maxi that makes every day feel like a good one.
