Michelle Midi Dress - Green Checkered Dress with Zip Front

Have you been searching for a holiday-perfect green gingham dress that flatters your waist, zips up the front, and looks just as cute at Christmas brunch as it does layered under a cropped sweater?

The Michelle Dress is the one you've been waiting for—equal parts festive, flattering, and totally functional (yes, she has pockets).

From the smocked waistline to the classic A-line silhouette, she gives major "holiday hostess with the mostess" energy without sacrificing comfort. Dress her up with heels and a velvet blazer, or layer her under a bow-detailed sweater for a charming, gift-opening morning look. Bonus points for that zipper-front closure that keeps it easy and nursing-friendly if you're in that season of life.

Unique qualities:

• Rich green + white gingham plaid that works for every season

• Full-length zipper front—nursing-friendly and great for layering

• Ultra-flattering wide smocked waistband that defines without squeezing

• A-line silhouette that flows over the hips and feels so comfortable

• Functional side pockets (we know you love them!)

• Easy to dress up or down: wear alone or layered under festive knits

🎄 Heads up: This one’s already getting wish-listed for family photos, classroom parties, and Christmas dinner—don’t wait if your size is in stock!

Fit and sizing reference: Kristi (brunette) is 5’5” 148lb (at the time these photos were taken) 36B and street size S/M & 28/7 in jeans.  She's wearing size S in this one but could wear the M as well due to the wiggle room with the smocking.
