Fit & Size
This dress features a relaxed yet flattering silhouette. The bodice is designed to be body-skimming, with the lace-up detail allowing for an adjustable fit across the bust. The waist is cinched with an elasticated band, creating definition before the skirt flows into a relaxed, tiered ruffle design. The V-neckline offers moderate coverage, while the sheer lantern sleeves provide a hint of allure without being overly revealing. The mini length hits above the knee on a model approximately 5'8" tall, offering a playful and leg-lengthening effect. There is minimal stretch in the main body of the fabric, but the elasticated waist and cuffs provide comfort and flexibility.
Fabric & Care
Crafted from a lightweight, airy chiffon-like fabric, this dress has a soft handfeel and a beautiful, fluid drape. It feels gentle against the skin, making it ideal for warmer weather or layered looks. To keep your dress looking its best, we recommend hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent, or machine washing on a delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag. Lay flat to dry and iron on a low heat setting if needed, avoiding direct heat on any lace-up details.
Details
The dress features a charming V-neckline with a lace-up front, allowing you to adjust the depth to your preference. The long lantern sleeves gather at the wrist with a comfortable elasticated cuff, creating a subtle puff effect. The waistline is elasticated for a comfortable and defined fit. The skirt is constructed with multiple tiers of ruffles, adding volume and a playful bounce. The dress is unlined, with the sheer quality of the fabric adding to its light and airy appeal. The V-neckline and overall design make it bra-friendly, accommodating various bra styles.
How to style it
