Striped Slip Dress – Women's Black Knitted Maxi Dress with White Stripes
This striped slip dress is a sleeveless, full-length knitted dress in black with narrow white vertical stripes, a scoop neck and shoulder straps edged in white. The bodice is close-fitting and the skirt flares from the waist, so the stripes fan out towards the hem. Easy Life Markets sells it in black, in sizes S to XXL.
The appeal of this dress is in the lines. Vertical stripes that run unbroken from the neckline to the hem draw the eye up and down, and the way they spread through the skirt gives the dress movement even when you are standing still. The fabric is a polyester knit, so it pulls on over the head with no zip.

Size Chart
These are the supplier's garment measurements in centimetres. Allow 2 to 3 cm either way for hand measuring.
| Size | Bust | Length |
|---|---|---|
| S | 86 | 128 |
| M | 90 | 129 |
| L | 96 | 130 |

The supplier gives bust and length only. Waist and hip measurements are not listed. Ask us if you need them.
How to Choose Your Size
The supplier states that its sizes are Asian sizes and run one to two sizes smaller than typical European and American sizing. The chart supports that: a size M measures 90 cm round the bust.
- Measure round the fullest part of your bust, wearing the bra you plan to wear with the dress.
- Compare it with the chart. The bodice is meant to fit closely, and a knitted fabric has some give, so a garment measurement equal to or slightly below your own is normal for this style. The supplier does not say how far the fabric stretches, so do not rely on it for more than a few centimetres.
- If you are between two sizes, take the larger. That is the supplier's advice too.
- Check the length against your height. The figure is measured from the top of the strap. At 128 to 132 cm the hem reaches the lower calf or ankle on most people.
A Straight Answer on "Slip Dress"
A slip dress traditionally means a light, bias-cut dress on thin straps, often in satin. This one borrows the idea, a simple sleeveless shape that slips on over the head, but it is made in a knit, and its straps are wider than the spaghetti straps of a classic slip. Think of it as a knitted tank-style maxi dress. We use the name because that is how the supplier lists it and how many shoppers look for this shape.
What the Supplier Does Not State
- Lining. Not stated.
- Weight and thickness of the knit. Not stated.
- How the stripes are made. The specification lists "patchwork/splicing", which suggests the white lines are joined or inset panels, not printed. We cannot confirm the method.
- Whether the straps adjust. Not stated. In the photos they look fixed.
- Care instructions. Not given.
We will ask the supplier about any of these on request.
What to Wear with It
- Underwear. A smooth T-shirt bra works best under a close knit. Check that its straps sit under the dress straps. Seam-free underwear avoids lines through the fitted section.
- Shoes. White sandals or trainers pick up the stripe. Black heels dress it up for the evening.
- Layers. A cropped denim jacket, a white shirt worn open, or a long cardigan in cooler weather.
- Accessories. The stripes are graphic, so one plain bag and simple jewellery are enough.
Where It Works
This is a dress that travels well. A polyester knit packs small and shakes out with few creases, so it suits holidays and weekends away. It is smart enough for a meal out or a daytime event and easy enough for a day of sightseeing. The black and white scheme means it goes with shoes and jackets you already own.
Care
Follow the care label in the dress. Where the label gives no guidance, the usual approach for a black and white polyester knit is:
- Wash cool, inside out, on a gentle cycle.
- Wash with dark colours for the first few washes, in case the black runs onto the white trim. A colour-catcher sheet is a sensible precaution.
- Do not use bleach on the white stripes.
- Dry flat or folded over a rail. Hanging a wet knitted maxi dress by its straps can stretch it.
- Iron on a low setting only if needed.
- Store folded, not on a hanger, for the same reason.
Who It Suits
Anyone who likes a simple black dress with a bit more interest, people who prefer pull-on clothes with no fastenings, and buyers looking for one dress that covers both day and evening on a trip.
Common Questions
Does it have a zip? None is listed. A knitted dress of this type pulls on over the head.
Is it stretchy? It is a knitted fabric, which has natural give. The supplier does not state a stretch figure.
Does it run small? Yes, on the supplier's own chart. Compare your bust measurement with the table.
Does it come in other colours? Black with white stripes is the only colour offered.
Is it a branded dress? No. It is an unbranded dress from our supplier.
