Meet the Kim Dress
Part corset. Part flirty mini. All compliments.
By: ALICE + OLIVIA Editorial | Published: June 2026
Some dresses just have it. The Kim Corset Shirt Dress is one of them. With a corset-inspired bodice that cinches in all the right places and a softly flared skirt that moves the way summer should, the Kim dress is the piece you'll reach for again and again — from office to rooftop to wherever the evening takes you. Done in our dreamy Desert Sprigs Vanilla print on airy stretch-cotton, she's as cool as she is captivating.
The Dress That Does It All
The Kim Corset Shirt Dress was built for the woman who refuses to choose between structure and ease. Structured paneling through the bodice creates a sculpted silhouette, while the softly flared skirt keeps things light, feminine, and effortlessly wearable.
Cut from a 73% cotton blend with just a touch of elastane for comfort, the fabric breathes beautifully all day — and the Desert Sprigs Vanilla print means you'll always be the most interesting person in the room.

How to Wear the Kim Dress
To Brunch & Beyond
For daytime, let the Kim dress do the heavy lifting. Slip into strappy sandals, add a pair of delicate gold hoops, and you're ready for a weekend brunch that transitions seamlessly into afternoon shopping or an impromptu gallery visit.
The stretch-cotton fabric keeps you cool under the summer sun, while the corset silhouette means you look completely put-together with zero effort. It's the dress that makes getting dressed actually fun.
From 9 to Wine
Swap sandals for a block heel and reach for a sleek clutch — suddenly the Kim is your go-to for after-work drinks, a dinner date, or a rooftop party as the sun sets over the city.
The corset bodice gives you evening-ready structure without sacrificing an ounce of comfort, and the Desert Sprigs print photographs beautifully in any light. This is the dress your phone camera has been waiting for.

The Print That Started It All
Explore the entire Desert Sprigs Vanilla collection — mix, match, and layer to your heart's content.
The Desert Sprigs Vanilla print runs through our entire summer collection, making it effortlessly easy to build full outfits around the pieces you love. From the Kim Corset Shirt Dress to the Montana Maxi Slip Dress, the Cassie Embroidered Blouse, and beyond — every piece in this family is designed to be worn together or apart. Start with the Kim and build your summer wardrobe from there.
Pair It: Kim + Montana
If the Kim Corset Shirt Dress is your daytime hero, then the Montana Maxi Slip Dress is your night. In the same Desert Sprigs print, the Montana skims the body in fluid satin with an open, strappy back and delicate ties that feel equal parts sexy and sophisticated.
Together, these two form a summer wardrobe that takes you from morning through midnight without missing a beat. Just add heels and great earrings.
Pair It: Cassie Blouse + Stevie Skirt
For a head-to-toe Desert Sprigs moment, the Cassie Embroidered Blouse and Stevie Maxi Skirt are a match made in summer heaven. The airy cotton voile blouse has a hippie-chic peasant silhouette, while the Stevie's tiered drop-waist skirt gives you floaty, feminine movement all day long.
Wear them as a set for maximum impact, or break them apart — the Cassie is equally gorgeous with denim, and the Stevie shines with a simple tank top.
Layer It: The Ingrid Robe
Part robe, part statement — the Ingrid Puff Sleeve Robe is pure summer glamour. Crafted from a luxe modal-silk blend with scalloped Chantilly lace trim and dramatic puff sleeves, it layers beautifully over the Kim Corset Shirt Dress for evening, or wears on its own tied at the waist.
Style it over swimwear at the pool, drape it over your shoulders at an outdoor dinner, or wear it belted as a dress in its own right. Summer glamour has never required so little effort.
Accessorize: The Mesha Shawl
No summer look is complete without the finishing touch. The Mesha Fringe Shawl is the versatile satin accessory that elevates every outfit — including the Kim. Drape it over your shoulders for evening, tie it around your waist over a swimsuit, wear it as a headscarf, or use it as a beach sarong.
In the Desert Sprigs Vanilla print with fringed trim, it's the kind of accessory that makes people stop and ask where you got it.

The Kim is made from a printed stretch-cotton blend: 73% cotton, 24% polyester, and 3% elastane. This blend keeps the dress breathable and cool for all-day summer wear while giving the bodice its structured corset shape.

The full Desert Sprigs Vanilla collection includes the Kim Corset Shirt Dress, the Kim Corset Button Down, the Montana Maxi Slip Dress, the Cassie Embroidered Blouse, the Stevie Maxi Skirt, the Ingrid Puff Sleeve Robe, and the Mesha Shawl. Every piece is designed to work together or independently.
Can I wear the Kim Corset Shirt Dress to work?
