Max Mara Dalmata Wool Flannel Shirt Dress in Wine
The Dalmata Wool Flannel Shirt Dress in Wine is an authentic Max Mara piece in Red, from the Autumn Winter 2026 collection. Max Mara is the Italian house of the camel coat, and its clothes are cut to be worn under one: wool and cashmere tailoring, fine knits, silk blouses and fluid dresses in a palette built around camel, navy, grey and black. Coveti verifies every piece before it ships.
Dalmata is a semi-fitted long shirt dress in stretch wool flannel with a subtle gather at the waist. A shirt collar and double cuffs give it structure, and a concealed full-length fastening keeps the front clean. A matching leather belt with clasp detail cinches it. Unlined.

About Max Mara
Max Mara was founded in 1951 by Achille Maramotti in Reggio Emilia, Italy, where the house is still based and still owned by the Maramotti family. It made its name on the coat. The 101801, a double-breasted camel coat designed by Anne-Marie Beretta in 1981, is still in the collection, the Manuela wrap coat in pure camel hair followed, and the Teddy Bear coat in alpaca and silk pile came down the runway in 2013. The Whitney Bag was created in 2015 with the Renzo Piano Building Workshop for the opening of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. Alongside the main line, the house designs Weekend Max Mara, S Max Mara, Max Mara Studio, Max Mara Atelier and the padded outerwear of The Cube.
“The Dalmata Wool Flannel Shirt Dress in Wine has what Max Mara does best: honest Italian materials, a calm palette and a cut that still looks right years later. It is the kind of piece you build a wardrobe around.”
Gemma Deeks, Fashion Editor at Coveti
How Max Mara Compares
Shoppers cross-shopping the Dalmata Wool Flannel Shirt Dress in Wine typically also consider Totême, The Row, and Brunello Cucinelli. Totême is the closest match for a pared-back camel wardrobe, The Row for minimal tailoring at a higher price, and Brunello Cucinelli for Italian cashmere. Max Mara is the one to buy for the coat itself: the 101801, the Manuela and the Teddy Bear are still the references. Explore the full Max Mara collection at Coveti.
