Kate | Ribbed Hooded Maxi Dress with Stretch Knit

Some mornings you just want to look good and go, and Kate makes that easy. The soft ribbed knit stretches with you and skims your shape instead of gripping it, while the hood is sewn right in, so there's no cardigan to hunt down and nothing to match. It falls long and easy, all the way to the ankle.

Why You’ll Love It

• One-piece ease – A single pull-on piece replaces the dress-plus-cardigan routine, so there's no layering or second-guessing in the mirror.
• Skims, doesn't cling – With 5% spandex in the ribbed knit, the fabric moves with your body and follows your curves without pulling across the hips or stomach.
• Built-in hood – The soft hood is sewn in rather than added on, and it rests flat against the back when down instead of bunching at the neck.
• Ankle-length hem – The dress measures 55.5 to 57.5 inches depending on size, reaching the ankle rather than the calf.
• Holds its shape – The polyester-spandex knit bounces back after sitting, driving, and running errands, with no sagging knees or stretched-out waist by dinner.
• Easy to style – The relaxed ribbed shape looks natural with sneakers, flats, or low boots, and the hood adds warmth for transitional weather.

Perfect For

Easy weekend errands, school runs, casual coffee dates, and travel days when you want one piece to do all the work. Pair it with sneakers for a relaxed look, or swap in flats or low boots when you want it slightly more polished.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is this dress, and will it hit my ankle?
Depending on the size, the dress measures between 55.5 and 57.5 inches long. It's designed to fall at the ankle rather than stopping at the calf.

Is the fit tight, or does it skim the body?
The ribbed knit is blended with 5% spandex, so it follows your shape and moves with you instead of pulling across the stomach or hips. The neckline also has enough give to pull on comfortably.

How do I wash it so it keeps its shape?
Machine wash it in cold water with similar colors, skip the bleach, and hang it to dry. The polyester-spandex knit is made to recover its shape after wear and washing, so there are no sagging knees or a stretched waist by the end of the day.
