Square Neck Midi Dress with Tortoiseshell Buttons - Plus Size

The tortoiseshell buttons run down the front placket in a warm amber-brown that sits against the fabric rather than disappearing into it. It’s a small choice with a noticeable effect — the shell-toned hardware gives this cotton-linen midi dress a character that a plain toggle or zip simply wouldn’t. The square neckline and princess puff sleeves complete the upper half with a retro-leaning shape, while the skirt swings from the waist in a way that adds movement without feeling costume-y.

The cotton-linen blend has no stretch, which means it holds the swing silhouette cleanly rather than pulling. It comes in mint green and black — both colourways let the buttons read clearly, though the green gives the tortoiseshell a slightly warmer tone. Cut for plus sizes with ease through the body, the midi length sits at a flattering point on the leg.

Block-heeled mules and a woven tote make this work for a weekend lunch. For the office, swap to pointed courts and a structured bag.
