Fabric & Care

Crafted from a lightweight and airy fabric, this dress has a smooth, soft handfeel that feels gentle against the skin. It drapes beautifully, creating a fluid and graceful movement with every step. While the exact fiber composition isn't visible, it has the characteristics of a breathable, easy-care material, ideal for warm weather. To keep your dress looking its best, we recommend machine washing cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Hang to dry or tumble dry low. Iron on a low setting if needed, avoiding direct contact with any elasticized areas.

Details

The bodice is intricately ruched with elastic, creating a textured and flattering effect that hugs the body. A soft V-neckline frames the décolletage, leading to a striking hollow backless design that adds a touch of allure. The waistline is subtly defined by the ruched bodice, flowing into a full, unlined maxi skirt that moves gracefully. There are no visible closures like zippers or buttons, suggesting an easy pull-on style. The hem is a simple, clean finish. This dress is bra-friendly with adhesive options or a low-back bra, depending on your comfort and desired look.
