Product Overview
The Build Your Brand Women's turtle extended shoulder dress is an expertly constructed garment that bridges the gap between a standard t-shirt and a contemporary dress. Crafted from a soft, medium-weight single jersey cotton, this piece offers a relaxed, overcut silhouette that provides comfort without sacrificing a professional, structured appearance. The subtle stand-up rib collar and extended shoulder design offer a modern aesthetic that makes this an ideal choice for businesses looking to provide a stylish yet practical uniform for their staff.
Key Features
- The slight stand-up rib collar provides a sophisticated, modern neckline that maintains its shape and structure throughout the working day.
- Overcut shoulders and extended styling create a relaxed, comfortable fit that allows for complete freedom of movement.
- Permanent turn-up sleeves add a clean, finished detail to the garment, ensuring a consistent look across your team.
- The neutral size label without branding is designed specifically for those wishing to rebrand the item, allowing for clean neck printing or custom labelling.
Design & Performance
This dress is manufactured from high-quality 100% cotton single jersey, providing a breathable and durable finish that feels soft against the skin. The fabric is a substantial, medium-weight material that ensures the garment hangs elegantly and resists the thinning often seen in lighter alternatives. For those choosing the Heather Grey variant, a blend of 90% cotton and 10% viscose is used to achieve the classic marl effect while retaining excellent fabric integrity. The inclusion of the extended shoulder design is a deliberate performance choice, reducing tension at the shoulder seams and enhancing the overall longevity of the garment.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, consistent surface of the single jersey fabric makes this dress an exceptional candidate for customisation. It is particularly well-suited for screen and flex printing, allowing for large, bold designs to be applied across the chest or back with high clarity. For businesses seeking a more traditional and premium finish, the fabric's medium-weight construction is sturdy enough to support detailed embroidery. All customisation is handled at our specialist facility in Telford, where our team leverages decades of experience to ensure your logo is reproduced with absolute precision.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for retail environments, promotional events, or creative hospitality settings where a modern, casual uniform is required. Its versatile cut also makes it a popular choice for festival staff and brand owners looking for a high-quality, rebrandable base for their own fashion lines.

Practical Advice
Due to the overcut, oversized design of this dress, it provides a generous fit. We recommend reviewing our size guide, which covers XS (size 8) through to 5XL (size 24). If you are looking for a more tailored appearance, you may wish to consider a size smaller than your standard fit, though the intended aesthetic is one of relaxed, modern comfort.
Caring for your product
To ensure the longevity of both the fabric and your custom branding, we recommend a gentle machine wash at 30°C. It is vital to wash and iron the garment inside out; this simple step protects the face of the fabric and any printed or embroidered logos from the abrasive action of the washing machine drum.
Do not use bleach, as these aggressive chemicals will degrade the cotton fibres and lead to premature fading. To maintain the garment's shape and prevent shrinkage, do not tumble dry. When ironing, use a low temperature setting and ensure you iron on the reverse to avoid heat damage to your customisations. Finally, avoid dry cleaning to preserve the integrity of the single jersey knit.
