Elyse Maxi Dress

Black tie dresses do not have to arrive in black, and the Elyse makes powder blue look serious. A tailored strapless bodice runs to the hip, then releases into a finely pleated skirt with a confident slit.

The Shape

• The bodicestructured and longline, holding a clean silhouette to the hip
• The pleatsrazor-fine folds that move like water below the drop waist
• The petalsdimensional floral appliques clustered around the hem

Sculpted petals gather at the slit as though the whole thing were standing in its own bouquet. Save it for the invitation that deserves something softer.
