The midi shirt dress in the I was a Sari collection brings together the ease of a shirt and the femininity of a dress, creating a piece designed to be worn and lived in. Defined by a structured waist and a softly flared skirt, this silhouette follows the body without constraining it, offering comfort alongside intention. Crafted from upcycled sari fabrics, each dress carries colour, texture, and movement that feel expressive yet effortless.
A midi shirt dress is a dress inspired by classic shirting details, combined with a midi-length cut that typically falls below the knee. This style balances structure and fluidity, making it versatile and easy to wear. In the I was a Sari interpretation, the shirt dress is reimagined through repurposed sari textiles, resulting in garments that feel familiar in shape but unique in character.
Designed to create definition without rigidity, the midi shirt dress features a structured waist that gently shapes the torso before opening into a flared skirt. This construction allows natural movement while maintaining a balanced silhouette. The fit feels comfortable throughout the day, adapting well to different body types and offering ease whether worn buttoned up or styled more casually.
Behind each midi shirt dress is a careful process rooted in reuse and craftsmanship. Pre-loved saris are selected and transformed by women artisans in Mumbai, giving new life to existing fabrics and reducing textile waste. Produced in limited quantities, every dress reflects a commitment to ethical production and circular fashion, where quality and responsibility go hand in hand.
Versatility is one of the defining qualities of the midi shirt dress. Suitable for everyday wear, work settings, or travel, it transitions easily between occasions with minimal styling. Worn on its own, layered with knitwear, or paired with boots or sandals, it adapts naturally across seasons while remaining comfortable and practical.
Because each piece starts from a different sari, no two midi shirt dresses are ever the same. Variations in print, colour, and texture make every garment distinctive, reflecting a circular approach that values individuality over uniformity. Through thoughtful design and reuse, I was a Sari transforms existing textiles into modern dresses meant to last beyond trends.

Fit & measurements

All measurements are body girth, in centimetres, with 1cm of ease already built in.
| Size | XS | S | M | L | XL | XXL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EUR | 34 | 36 | 38/40 | 42 | 44 | 46 |
| Chest | 80–84 | 85–89 | 90–95 | 96–101 | 102–108 | 109–115 |

Between two sizes? Go by your chest measurement first for tops, or hips for bottoms, see the notes below.
Use a soft tape, wear light clothing, and keep the tape level all the way around.
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, level across the back. Keep it snug, not tight, and read the measurement where the tape meets.
Find your natural waistline, usually the narrowest point of your torso. Don't hold your stomach in, keep the tape level and comfortably snug.
Stand with feet together and wrap the tape around the fullest part of your hips and seat, straight and level front to back.
