Patagonia Women’s Amber Dawn Jersey Dress in Black

Meet the Patagonia Women’s Amber Dawn Jersey Dress in Black—a throw-on-and-go summer dress made from soft, stretchy jersey that’s as easy on your skin as it is on the planet. In Black, it’s an instant classic you can dress up or down.

Key Features: The Amber Dawn Jersey Dress features a flattering V-front with modest coverage, empire waist seaming, and an A-line skirt that skims the body without clinging. Subtle gathers and clean lines create shape without fuss, and the pull-on design keeps things simple for travel or busy mornings.

Fabric & Feel: The Patagonia Women’s Amber Dawn Jersey Dress in Black is made from an easy-care jersey blend of mostly organic cotton with a small amount of spandex for stretch. The slub knit has a soft, breathable handfeel that’s comfortable in warm weather and smooth enough to layer under light jackets.

Why It’s Good: Organic cotton reduces reliance on synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, while Patagonia’s Fair Trade Certified™ sewing supports better wages and working conditions for garment workers. A versatile black dress you can wear to the beach, to brunch, and to casual dinners reduces the need for multiple single-use outfits—and keeps your wardrobe more minimal and intentional.

Fit & Care: Designed for a relaxed, feminine fit that follows your shape without feeling tight. Choose your usual dress size; the stretch in the fabric helps accommodate curves. Machine wash cold with like colors, then line dry or tumble low to preserve softness and color depth.

Style Notes: Wear the Amber Dawn Dress with sandals and a straw hat for daytime, or add a denim jacket and low heels for evening. In cooler weather, layer it over tights with a chunky cardigan for year-round mileage.
