The Sweater Love Dress is the cozy sweater with a sleek silhouette that can carry you from the couch, to work, to dinner all at the same comfort level. All the while, you still look simply fabulous. This dress will travel city-to-city, couch-to-bike, from work-to-play, and you'll never want to take it off. 

Dress it up, dress it down and make it your own <3.


It's made from Bamboo Terry that is odor resistant and wicks away sweat, so you can maintain your cool in hot situations.



It's longer in length to keep you covered while your at the office, on the bus, or on your bike.The sleeves are also longer to keep you cozy, and to keep you covered while riding.

And, who doesn't love pockets? One of the riyoko staples -- zippered pockets to keep your good in your pockets while in transit. 


Treat your bestie, your g.f or just treat yourself <3  You know you'll love it <3 We do.

(p.s - the Tire Track Dress is a (M) and there is only one left! It's a very small run limited edition. Lovely to look at and lovely to wear.)
