Details & fit
A flowing empire silhouette gives this maxi dress a graceful presence that feels naturally suited to warm-weather celebrations. Finely adjustable straps frame the shoulders while the V-neck creates a feminine and open neckline. Decorative embroidery across the bodice adds dimension before the dress falls into a generously flared skirt. The high waist keeps the proportions defined while allowing the lower half to move freely.
