Nancy is the soft, feminine knit dress that makes an outfit feel complete the moment you put it on. Designed with an elegant boat neckline, a gently shaped bodice, and a flowing skirt, Nancy creates a beautiful silhouette that feels comfortable, flattering, and effortlessly put together.
Choose the above-the-knee length for a playful everyday dress or the below-the-knee length for a longer, graceful silhouette. Add the dramatic flare sleeves for soft, romantic movement, or choose the straight sleeves for a clean and versatile finish.
Lightweight sweater knit is especially beautiful for Nancy, creating gentle movement through both the skirt and sleeves while maintaining a soft, polished shape. You can also use rayon spandex, modal, bamboo jersey, or another drapey knit for an even more fluid silhouette.
Dress Nancy up with boots and jewelry or keep it relaxed for an easy, feminine outfit you can wear throughout the day.

Recommended Fabrics
Nancy is designed for light- to medium-weight knit fabrics with comfortable stretch and soft drape. Lightweight sweater knit is especially recommended to achieve the flowing silhouette intended for this design.

- Modal spandex
- Bamboo jersey
- Double brushed poly
- ITY knit
- Brushed poly jersey
- Other soft, drapey knit fabrics
Lightweight sweater knit provides softness, movement, and gentle structure, allowing the skirt to fall beautifully while giving the flare sleeves an effortless shape.
Rayon spandex, modal spandex, bamboo jersey, and ITY will create an even softer, more fluid silhouette. Double brushed poly and brushed poly jersey provide slightly more body while still maintaining comfortable drape.
Fabric choice will affect Nancy’s finished appearance. Lightweight, fluid fabrics create the softest movement, while more stable knits produce a fuller, more structured silhouette.
