Joanie Icons: The Andi Dress

We’re delving into the inspirations behind our bestselling Joanie Icons! Next up in this series is Andi, the easy-going shirt dress that we can’t get enough of.

Meet Andi!

Day dresses don’t get much cuter than Andi! This throw-on-and-go knee-skimming shirt dress is a long-standing favourite of ours - and it’s easy to see why. 

You’ll find Andi cropping up throughout our collections in plenty of eye-catching prints, from our retro bookshelf pattern to cute-as-can-be illustrated dinos. 

Featuring a classic collar and breastfeeding-friendly button-through bodice, a nifty concealed inner button fastening to prevent gaping at the waist, a gathered-on skirt with a matching removable belt, and those all-important pockets at the hip, this timeless dress shape never goes out of style.

What Makes Andi A Joanie Icon?

Joanie Icons are designed with thought with you - our lovely Joanie Gals - in mind. We’ve created these styles in the hope that they’ll become the kind of clothing you’ll love for a lifetime and then pass on to someone else to enjoy.

We’ve spent years working on and improving the Andi Dress, from changing the materials it's made from to make it more sustainable, to improving the overall fit to guarantee you always feel your best wearing it.

Joanie Dresses are always lovingly designed with the wearer in mind. We’re a proudly female-fronted company, and we design for real-life women with boobs, tums, and bums. 

Where we can, we’ll always add a little ‘ease’ to your day, whether that’s a fabric that washes really well, an elastic channel that gives you an extra inch post-lunch, or a natty little inside button that stops the belly button keyhole from popping open at pudding time. 

An extra gather here or a little somethin’ somethin’ there to make sure the garment will make you feel your absolute best is always our goal.
