Marissa Flapper Maxi Dress

The Marissa is a blue formal dress that runs a straight strapless neckline into a slim column of pale blue covered in trailing green stems and white blooms. Botanicals climb the entire length, so the effect lands closer to porcelain than to a regular floral.

Floor length and lightly shaped, it skims rather than grips, which is what makes it work for spring weddings, showers and daytime formals. Small earrings are all it needs.

It never fights the bride and still gets noticed.
