Description
Classic with a TWIST… The silhouette is clean and ultra-flattering, with one standout detail: a cleverly constructed drape that softly skims the tummy and defines the waist without feeling restrictive, thanks to an expert play of pleats and precise pattern cutting. The pattern offers four variations: sleeveless or with short sleeves, and two lengths to choose from, above or below the knee. The boat neck beautifully highlights the collarbones while still allowing you to wear a bra, whatever sleeve option you choose. Stunning in a plain fabric, the dress’s unique construction also enhances prints… giving them a stylish twist.
