Some dresses are for occasions. The Jilana is for days when you want to look like you made an effort without actually making one. A relaxed, voluminous maxi in a crisp, lightweight fabric — V-neckline with a stand collar and button placket that keeps it from reading too casual, a gathered empire waist that releases into a full, sweeping skirt, and a layered ruffle hem that catches the air when you walk. The kind of dress that works at a seaside lunch, a farmer's market, a friend's backyard. Anywhere the day is unhurried and the light is good.
"I knew the Jilana was right the moment I saw the hem move. That layered ruffle at the bottom is what separates it from every other white maxi out there — it adds volume and rhythm without making the dress feel costumey or overdone. The stand collar with the button placket is the other detail I keep coming back to: it makes the neckline interesting without being complicated, and it means you can wear this with nothing around your neck and still look completely finished. In white it's the most classic — almost vintage French. In light blue it's softer, more relaxed, and honestly the one I reach for first on a warm morning." — Sarah Mitchell, Founder of Valora New York
✔ Stand Collar with Button Placket — a structured, upright collar with a short button-front opening that adds a tailored, French-inspired quality to an otherwise relaxed silhouette.
✔ Empire Waist with Gathered Skirt — a raised waistline with a full gather that releases into a voluminous skirt, flattering through the midsection and giving the dress its effortless, flowing shape.
✔ Layered Ruffle Hem — a double-tiered ruffle at the ankle that adds movement, volume, and a playful finish that photographs well and moves beautifully in person.
✔ 3/4-Length Sleeves — hit just below the elbow for a relaxed, unfussy look that works in warm weather without feeling like a full summer dress.
✔ Side Pockets — deep enough to be useful, set into the side seams so they don't interrupt the silhouette.
✔ Two Colorways: White and Light Blue — white is the sharper, more classic read — pairs with sandals, espadrilles, or bare feet. Light blue is softer and more relaxed, and the color that makes a summer tan look its best.
Linen-look ease. French collar structure. The maxi that makes any day feel like the good kind.

Changed your mind? No problem. You can return your order within 30 days of delivery, as long as items are unworn, unwashed and have their original tags attached. Simply reach out via our contact page and we'll guide you through the process.
We want you to love every piece you order. If you're not completely happy with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days of delivery for a full refund — no questions asked. Once we receive your return, your refund is processed within 5–7 business days to your original payment method.
To keep your dress looking its best, we recommend a gentle machine wash at 30°C or a cold hand wash. Wash inside out with similar colours, and avoid bleach and fabric softener. Do not tumble dry — hang or lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. If needed, iron on a low setting or use a steamer for a smooth finish.
Find Your Size
Buying a dress online means trusting a photograph — and we know that takes a little faith. So we've made this page as clear as we can, and made it easy to put right if the size isn't quite there.
Take two minutes with a tape measure before you order. It's the single best way to get it right first time.
How to Measure
You'll need a soft tape measure and, ideally, someone to help. Measure over your underwear rather than clothing, and keep the tape snug but never tight — you should be able to slip a finger underneath.
Bust — around the fullest part of your bust, with the tape level across your back.
Waist — around the narrowest part of your natural waist, usually just above the belly button. Don't hold your breath in.
Hips — around the fullest part of your hips and bottom, roughly 20 cm below your waist.
Length — this is how we measure the dress itself, from the shoulder seam straight down to the hem. Compare it against your own height to picture where it will fall.
Size Chart
All measurements are in centimetres and refer to body measurements, not the garment.

| XL | 14 | 88 | 79 | 111 | 133 |

A Few Notes on Fit
Go by your measurements, not your usual size. High-street sizing varies wildly from shop to shop. The chart above is the honest version — it's what will actually fit you.
Between two sizes? Take the larger one. Our dresses are designed to skim rather than cling, and a fraction of extra room always reads better than a fraction too little. If the bust and hips point to different sizes, size for the bust — waists and hips are far more forgiving in these cuts.
Check the length. Our dresses are cut long. If you're petite, look at the length measurement against your own height so you know exactly where the hem will sit.
Still unsure? Tell us your measurements and we'll tell you which size to order. We'd far rather spend two minutes helping you choose than have you send a dress back. Email support@graceandanne.com — we usually reply the same day.
If It's Not Quite Right, We'll Sort It
You shouldn't have to gamble on a size. If the dress arrives and the fit isn't there, you have 14 days to exchange it for a different size — no explanation needed, no awkward questions.

- Email support@graceandanne.com with your order number and the size you'd like instead.
- We'll send you the return details straight away.
- Post the dress back to us, unworn and with the tags still on.
- Your new size goes out as soon as your return is on its way.
If we've sold out of the size you need, we'll refund you in full — no waiting, no store credit you didn't ask for.
