Dresses & Skirts

The Embroidery Raglan Day Dress is made from classic blue and white men’s shirting fabric, and is hand embroidered with emblems of the mystical world. Suns and moons in a palette of pink, green and yellow, are designed by Scottish embroidery artist Laura Lees and embroidered by hand. Fastening at the neck with a simple tie and two buttons, the shirt has three quarter length sleeves and sits just below the knee.

The Denim A-Line Skirt is a flattering mid-shin length denim skirt made from soft and durable Japanese Denim. With two large patch pockets at the front and a playful pleat that adds volume but not bulkiness in the middle, the skirt is easy to wear and extremely versatile.

Effortless and easy, this silk skirt has a gently fluted silhouette and moves gracefully. Flattering on all body shapes, it sits on the true waist and falls just below the knee. It is beautifully made in our finest quality Japanese silk and comes in two bold shades. It has a hook and eye fastening with a zip closure at the back. Team this with a simple sweater in winter or a camisole in summer.

This dress takes its name from the British sub culture in the Sixties and Seventies that was inspired by the American Soul and Northern Soul music scenes. The neat cut and prim collar belies an attitude of rebellion. This dress has long sleeves, a waist seam, small collar and fastens with a concealed zip at the back. This version, embellished with silver flat studs, appears in the AW20 campaign. Falling just below the knee, it will look great teams with tights in the winter or bare legs come springtime.

This pussy bow dress is a timeless piece that is demure and polished with undertones of irreverence. It buttons up and is finished with a generous silk bow, yet the pleated body and flirty skirt hem add a playful spirit. Beautifully made in Japan from our highest quality Japanese silk, it will work as well in summer as it does in winter worn with tights and long boots. Available in seasonal colours, including custom hand-drawn prints by collaborator Ed Curtis.

The patchwork shirt is a favourite of J&M Davidson’s creative director Katie Hillier and she creates an iconic variation each season. For AW20, Hillier combines four key fabrics from the collection in this long line cotton and silk shirt: pyjama stripe, cream, polka dot and hand-painted prints by collaborator Ed Curtis. Wear this over stonewashed jeans or solo as a shirt dress.

Just as its name indicates, it’s irresistible not to swing in this dress. When swing and jazz took hold of music culture on both sides of the Atlantic in the Sixties, hemlines and attitudes shifted accordingly. This dress takes its name from its trapeze shape: tailored perfectly at the shoulders, it hangs loose and has a mini hemline. Its colour-block design has two patch pockets on the front. It’ll look best with long boots or flat coquettish shoes.

This is a year-round dress that can be styled and worn a different way each season. Wear it solo in the summer, or with a fine knit polo sweater layered underneath in the winter. It is cut in our substantial yet soft Japanese cotton which has body but doesn’t cling. It has a flattering V neck and darted waist seam to give the dress shape and falls below the knee with a subtle A-line shape. It has two hidden seam pockets and belt loops should you want to style with a belt. It fastens with a zip at the back, and it is unlined with beautifully-finished French seams.

This woollen skirt is inspired by the tradition of wearing tweed in the great British outdoors, yet fitting tailored for city life. Tweed was originally adopted for its extremely warm properties that blended well with the natural surroundings. This tweed is milled by Johnstons of Elgin, a Scottish mill with over 100 years of experience. This blend of woollen yarn contains all the colours of highland heather: blue, green, tan, and rust. This skirt is cut and tailored to sit on the true waist, is fully lined and fastened with a zip at the back.
