Mossimo Striped Dress — Effortless Style for Every Season
We designed this Mossimo striped dress for the woman who wants timeless style without sacrificing comfort. Classic navy and white stripes run horizontally across soft jersey fabric that moves with you through your day.
We chose a cotton-dominant jersey blend specifically for this dress because it breathes naturally while the spandex content prevents bagging at the elbows and waist. The fabric weight sits at 6.5 ounces per square yard — substantial enough to drape beautifully without being too heavy for warmer months.
Sizing & Fit Guide
This dress runs true to our standard Mossimo sizing chart. If you typically wear a medium in our tops, the medium will fit you comfortably here. The jersey fabric offers about two inches of stretch across the bust and hips, so if you’re between sizes we recommend choosing your usual size rather than sizing up.
The boat neckline sits approximately three inches below the collarbone and the sleeve length measures 18 inches from shoulder seam to cuff. We’ve tailored the bodice to follow your natural waistline without requiring a belt, though many customers add one to change up the silhouette. The hem falls two to three inches above the knee on most heights between 5’3″ and 5’9″.
Styling & Versatility
We’ve watched customers style this striped dress dozens of ways since we launched it. Layer a denim jacket over it in spring or add a lightweight cardigan when the office air conditioning runs cold. The classic stripe pattern pairs naturally with solid accessories — try red flats and a crossbody bag for a nautical-inspired weekend look.
Office to Evening
The dress transitions easily from professional settings to after-work plans. Wear it with a structured blazer and pumps during the day, then swap to statement earrings and strappy sandals for dinner. We’ve seen stylists recommend pairing stripes with florals in mixed-pattern styling, layering this piece under a floral kimono or matching it with a printed scarf for dimensional interest. The neutral navy-and-white base makes it one of the most versatile foundations in your rotation.

Your Questions About the Mossimo Striped Dress
We pre-shrink the fabric during manufacturing, so you should see minimal to no shrinkage after washing. In our quality testing, the dress maintained its original measurements through fifty wash cycles when laundered in cold water and tumble dried on low heat. If you’re concerned about any potential shrinkage, you can hang dry it instead of using the dryer.
Yes, many customers wear this dress to work. The boat neckline and knee-length hem meet most business casual dress codes. Pair it with a blazer and closed-toe shoes for more conservative offices, or wear it as-is in creative or casual workplaces. The classic stripe pattern reads as polished rather than too casual.
The dress pairs well with almost any shoe style. Sneakers create a relaxed weekend look, ballet flats or loafers work for everyday wear, and heels or wedges dress it up for evening. The above-knee length shows enough leg that ankle boots also look proportional. The neutral navy and white stripes coordinate with virtually any shoe color.
The jersey fabric is substantial enough that you do not need to wear a slip or liner underneath. The 6.5-ounce fabric weight provides good coverage without being heavy. We recommend wearing seamless undergarments in a neutral color if you prefer an ultra-smooth silhouette, but the fabric itself is not sheer.
If you fall between two sizes on our size chart, we recommend ordering your usual Mossimo size. The jersey fabric contains 5% spandex and offers about two inches of stretch across the bust and hips, so it will accommodate slight size variations comfortably. Sizing up may result in excess fabric at the waist and armholes.
Yes, though the wrinkle-resistant jersey rarely requires ironing. If you prefer a crisper look, turn the dress inside out and use a warm iron on the reverse side, or use a steamer on the lowest setting. Avoid ironing directly on the striped side with high heat, as it can create shine marks on the fabric surface.
The stripes are knit directly into the fabric structure rather than printed on the surface, so they cannot fade, peel, or shift out of alignment. The horizontal stripe pattern will maintain its crisp appearance and color vibrancy through dozens of wash cycles. We use colorfast dyes that resist bleeding even in warm water.
