Zimmermann Ribbed Knit Stripe Bow-Tie Dress – 1

Ribbed stripe. Bow-tie straps. Zimmermann's nautical polish.

Zimmermann Knit Stripe Dress is crafted from a viscose/nylon/elastane blend, featuring a fitted ribbed-knit bodice in bold navy and cream vertical stripes. Bow-tie shoulder straps and a sweetheart neckline add a feminine, nautical-inspired finish, while the fitted waist flows into a full, softly pleated midi skirt.

The ribbed knit hugs the body through the bodice before releasing into a flowing skirt, creating a flattering silhouette that balances structure with movement. The combination of navy, cream and playful bow detailing gives the dress a distinctly Zimmermann warm-weather character.

Why You'll Love It

This dress captures the lighter, more playful side of Zimmermann. The fitted ribbed bodice creates a beautifully defined silhouette, while the full skirt gives the dress movement and ease.

The oversized bow-tie straps are the detail that makes it special, adding a feminine twist to the classic nautical stripe. Style it with espadrilles and a basket bag for daytime or dress it up with heels and gold jewellery for an evening event.

Provenance

• Founded in Sydney in 1991 by sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann, Zimmermann has grown from a small Australian swimwear label into one of Australia's most internationally recognised luxury fashion houses.

• The brand is celebrated for its distinctly feminine approach to fashion, combining intricate prints, considered construction, romantic detailing and strong silhouettes.

• Zimmermann's resort roots continue to influence its collections, with warm-weather dressing, swimwear-inspired silhouettes and playful nautical references remaining important elements of the brand's visual language.

• Knitwear allows Zimmermann to reinterpret these signatures through more sculptural, body-conscious silhouettes, with stretch fabrication providing both structure and movement.

• The navy and cream stripe gives this dress a classic nautical foundation, while the oversized bow-tie straps introduce the romantic, playful femininity that has become synonymous with Zimmermann.

• The combination of a fitted bodice and full skirt creates the type of defined yet relaxed silhouette that works particularly well within the brand's resort and occasionwear aesthetic.

Collector's Note

Zimmermann's ability to combine sophisticated construction with unmistakably feminine detailing has made the label a defining name in Australian luxury fashion. This knit stripe dress captures that identity particularly well, pairing classic nautical stripes with sculptural ribbing, a sweetheart neckline and playful bow-tie straps.

It is an especially versatile Zimmermann silhouette, carrying enough personality for occasion dressing while remaining easy to wear throughout the warmer months.
