Modern women make decisions all day long. We make choices about our families, our work, our passions. We say “yes” and “no, thanks” and “I’ll have to think about it.” We have things to do, things that matter to us. So it’s nice to ease into the day with a choice that’s simple to make: what to wear while we’re making all those decisions.

Our Xander Shirtdresses are about simplicity, sensibility and sophistication. An entire look in one piece, it eliminates the struggle between fashion and function, ease and elegance, quality and price, and lets you get on with your day in style. Inspired by the ever-so-versatile dress shirt that men wear everyday, our shirtdresses are beautifully made and effortlessly elegant. With clean lines, and classic silhouettes, a Xander Shirtdress is almost always the smart choice.

We know you care about many things, and easy to wear clothes that work for you is just one of them. A Xander Shirtdress transitions from a morning of office or mom duties to lunch with friends, to a night out, all with the same refinement and comfort. We design our shirtdresses with daily life in mind. In a Xander you can bend to pick up a child, stretch to get a book off the top shelf, stand on a train or sit on a picnic blanket without your clothes getting in your way.

Just like a small wardrobe of well-chosen garments you love and live-in exceeds the value of a packed closet of clothes you never wear, we remain focused on making well-edited collections.  To ensure that our production quantities never exceed our capacity to make quality pieces, we are committed to growing our brand slowly.  Presently, we produce a limited number of dresses twice a year, available at only a handful of carefully chosen boutiques (visit our site for locations) and exclusively online at Halsbrook.com.

Our Spring and Summer 2015 collection will be available beginning in January 2015. It features five styles, each inspired by menswear, but completely feminine in the details. Our color palette is neutral– black, white, navy, sand, blush—for the sophistication and versatility. The dresses are made of high quality cottons and silks imported from Japan and Korea—they have substance and weight, and drape beautifully. They’re made in New York City, in the heart of the historic garment district.

We hope you will love living in a Xander as much as we do!
