{"product_id":"gerard-darel-dress-der57e218-navy","title":"Gérard Darel | Navy Ribbed Knit Midi Dress - Sailor Detail","description":"\u003cp\u003eNavy blue knit sets the tone for this midi dress from Gérard Darel, a piece built on a fitted, flared silhouette that flatters without ever feeling constrained. The waist is defined, the skirt released into a soft flare below, giving the dress a shape that moves with the body rather than against it. It is a design rooted in ease, but never loose — every line has been considered to create a clean, feminine outline from shoulder to hem.\n\nThe fabric is a wool and viscose blend, a pairing that gives the knit both structure and softness. Wool lends the piece its weight and warmth, holding its shape through the day, while viscose softens the hand and adds a fluid, almost liquid drape to the skirt. The result is a knit that feels substantial against the skin without ever being stiff — a fabric made for the transition into cooler months, when a dress needs to do more than look good.\n\nDetailing is where the sailor references come through. Oblique ribs cross the chest in a diagonal play that catches the eye and adds dimension to what could otherwise be a simple silhouette. Buttons appear again at the shoulders and cuffs, small hardware moments that nod to naval tailoring without tipping into costume. The round neckline keeps the upper body open and uncluttered, while 7\/8-length sleeves leave the wrist exposed — a deliberate proportion that grounds the dress and keeps it from reading as too covered-up. The midi length falls at a point that works equally well with flat boots or a low heel.\n\nConstruction favours the body's natural lines: a waisted cut nips in at the middle before releasing into movement below, so the dress reads as tailored up top and relaxed through the skirt. This built-in contrast is what makes it wearable across a full day — structured enough for a desk, fluid enough for evening. Because the knit carries the shape rather than a rigid interior structure, the dress moves easily when walking, offering that faint swing at the hem particular to good-quality wool knits.\n\nStyle it as a self-sufficient uniform: knee-high boots and a longline coat for the office, or a fitted trench and gold jewellery to shift it toward evening. The navy base is deliberately versatile — cognac leather adds warmth against it, black creates a sharper, more graphic contrast, and cream or ivory accessories soften the overall effect. A leather belt at the natural waist reinforces the silhouette further for those who want more definition. This is a dress built for repeat wear through autumn and winter, not a single occasion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GERARD DAREL","offers":[{"title":"NAVY \/ T0","offer_id":41849720602757,"sku":"DER57E218","price":2895.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false},{"title":"NAVY \/ T1","offer_id":41849720635525,"sku":"DER57E218","price":2895.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"NAVY \/ T2","offer_id":41849720668293,"sku":"DER57E218","price":2895.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"NAVY \/ T3","offer_id":41849720701061,"sku":"DER57E218","price":2895.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0351\/5757\/3765\/files\/GERARD_DAREL-DER57E218-NAVY-1.jpg?v=1788819507","url":"https:\/\/ruemadame.com\/products\/gerard-darel-dress-der57e218-navy","provider":"RUE MADAME | BOUTIQUE PARISIENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
