Product Overview
The Build Your Brand BY181 is a thoughtfully engineered garment that bridges the gap between casual leisurewear and a professional, urban-inspired uniform. This oversized slit tee dress is constructed from a high-quality single jersey, offering a substantial yet breathable feel that is characteristic of premium organic cotton. Its straight, oversized cut provides a contemporary silhouette that prioritises both comfort and a modern aesthetic, while the side slit on the right ensures mobility is not compromised by the longer length.
Key Features
- 100% Organic Cotton: Sourced responsibly to provide a soft-touch finish that is gentle on the skin and environmentally conscious.
- Oversized Urban Cut: Designed for a relaxed fit that aligns with modern fashion trends while ensuring maximum wearer comfort throughout the day.
- Side Slit Detail: A functional addition that increases the range of movement and adds a distinct visual element to the drape of the dress.
- Dropped Shoulders and Set-in Sleeves: These design choices contribute to the casual, relaxed profile without sacrificing the garment's structural integrity.
- Round Neckline: A classic, reinforced neckline that maintains its shape even after repeated wear and laundering.
Design & Performance
The performance of this dress lies in its construction. Using a medium-weight organic cotton jersey, the fabric offers enough substance to hang correctly without feeling heavy or restrictive. The dividing seam at the waist level provides a subtle structural anchor, preventing the oversized fit from appearing shapeless. Because it is made from 100% natural fibres, the material is naturally breathable, making it an excellent choice for indoor environments or warmer weather. The absence of pockets ensures a sleek, uninterrupted surface, which is particularly beneficial when applying large-scale customisation.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The BY181 is an ideal canvas for branding, and its flat single jersey surface is particularly well-suited to both print and embroidery. For businesses seeking a traditional, professional appearance, our embroidery service is recommended for chest logos or staff names, providing a durable and high-quality finish. Conversely, the large surface area of this dress makes it perfect for bold, screen-printed designs or digital transfers, which are ideal for promotional events or retail-ready merchandise. At MyWorkwear, our Telford-based team has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring that your branding is applied with precision and care.
Use Cases
This garment is versatile enough for a variety of professional settings. It is an excellent choice for staff in creative industries, retail environments, or hospitality venues looking for a uniform that stands out from standard polo shirts or tunics. It also serves as a high-quality base for promotional wear or limited-edition brand merchandise, where the organic credentials and modern fit add significant perceived value.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note that this is an oversized fit by design. If you prefer a more tailored look, you may wish to consider sizing down, although the intended aesthetic is loose and relaxed. This dress layers exceptionally well over leggings or slim-fit trousers for a versatile work ensemble. For the best branding results, we recommend keeping embroidery designs to a moderate size to ensure the jersey fabric supports the stitch density correctly.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and colour of your organic cotton dress, we recommend a domestic wash at 30°C on an easy-care cycle. Washing at lower temperatures is not only better for the environment but also prevents the organic fibres from shrinking or losing their natural softness.
Bleaching agents must be avoided entirely. Chlorine and other harsh chemicals will break down the natural cotton fibres and can cause significant discolouration, particularly on branded areas.
We strongly advise against tumble drying this garment. Natural air drying is the best method to preserve the fit and prevent the jersey fabric from twisting or tightening. Heat from a dryer can also damage any printed elements.
When ironing, use a cool setting and avoid direct contact with any printed or embroidered logos. Excessive heat can scorch the organic cotton or melt the adhesives used in certain print processes. Finally, do not dry clean this item, as the solvents used in the process are too aggressive for both the organic material and the customisation.
