Cut and sewn for you

Made for quiet sophistication, the Maxi Evening Dress is cut from a lace fabric with a tatting weave. The fabric holds its shape while staying comfortable to wear through a long day or evening.

A mermaid silhouette skims the body and defines the shape. The sweetheart neckline frames the shoulders and neckline cleanly. It is designed sleeveless, keeping the shoulders bare. The maxi length falls with an easy, fluid drape.

It is made for cocktail, evening, party and prom occasions and the moments that call for something considered. Style it with heels and a slim clutch to dress it up, or with flats and delicate jewellery for an easier take — the clean lines take direction either way. Choose the shade that fits the moment from Hot Pink, Black Gold, Champagne, Yellow, White and Navy.

It opens on a sweetheart curve across the bust.
You get a full-length hem — allow for heels so it clears the floor.
