about this style

How does the Joanie Maxi Dress fit, and what size should I order?
The Joanie Maxi Dress fits true to size, and the smocked elastic back waist provides a forgiving, adjustable fit through the midsection that accommodates a range of body shapes. Our model is 5'9" and wears a size XS, with the dress measuring 58" in length based on a size S. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing down for a more defined waist or sizing up for extra ease through the bust and hips.
What is the fabric composition, and how should I care for this dress?
The Joanie Maxi Dress is crafted from 100% polyester, a lightweight and wrinkle-resistant fabric that holds its shape and color through the tiered hem and flutter sleeve details. Dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the structure and finish of the dress over time. If you prefer to hand wash, use cool water and a gentle detergent, then lay flat to dry and avoid wringing or twisting the fabric.
What occasions is the Joanie Maxi Dress best suited for, and how can I style it from day to evening?
The Joanie Maxi Dress is designed for celebratory warm-weather occasions including garden parties, outdoor wedding receptions, resort dinners, and country club events. Its v-neckline, tiered hem, and flutter sleeves strike a balance between relaxed and polished that works equally well at a daytime brunch or an alfresco evening gathering. Style it with flat sandals and a woven tote for a daytime garden party, then swap in heeled mules and a delicate gold chain belt to carry the look into the evening.
Is the Joanie Maxi Dress lined, and what should I wear underneath it?
The Joanie Maxi Dress is constructed from an opaque 100% polyester fabric that does not require a slip underneath. The smocked elastic back waist and tiered skirt panels sit away from the body, so seamless underwear or a low-coverage brief works well beneath the full-length hem. The v-neckline is modest enough that a standard bralette or an adhesive bra are both comfortable options depending on your preference.
What makes the Joanie Maxi Dress special?
The Joanie Maxi Dress is a perennial Ramy Brook bestseller and influencer favorite because it solves a genuine styling challenge: a maxi dress that reads effortlessly polished without sacrificing comfort. The combination of a smocked elastic back waist, flutter sleeves, and a tiered hem creates a silhouette that moves beautifully and flatters a wide range of body types. Available in an extended size range and across multiple colorways including prints, solids, and seasonally refreshed palettes, the Joanie is a piece that earns its place in a wardrobe year after year.
