Appalachian-Inspired Vintage Modern | A New Day Striped Button-Down Midi Dress

Step into an Appalachian summer with a dress that feels like home in the Blue Ridge. This sleeveless, belted shirt dress from A New Day weaves modern ease with the spirit of generations past—echoing a time when Appalachian women transformed humble feed sacks into beauty and self-expression. The crisp vertical stripes, in soft earth tones and dusky sky blues, are a quiet nod to mountain gardens, creek stones, patchwork quilts, and mist rolling over a valley in the morning. The palette—coppery rust, denim blue, faded indigo, slate gray, and cream—feels plucked from an heirloom photograph, yet remains unmistakably fresh. This is a piece for the woman who remembers where she comes from but walks forward with style. Features: • Lightweight, breathable fabric • Front button-down closure with tortoiseshell-style buttons • Matching tie belt for a defined waist • Midi length for easy wear, work or weekend • Flattering sleeveless cut with a notched neckline Style it for a casual afternoon at the farmer’s market, an outdoor concert under string lights, or a family gathering on the porch. It pairs beautifully with woven sandals, denim jackets, or boots. 💐 Bonus points: The vertical stripes elongate the figure while the fit-and-flare silhouette flatters every body shape. A perfect blend of practicality and poetry—just like Appalachia herself.
