Naomi Maxi Dress

Ruching through the body and florals over the top, the Naomi runs two ideas where most long formal dresses run one. Gathering shapes the waist and the print takes over from there, so neither one has to shout.

Maxi length gives the pattern room to read properly, where a shorter cut would halve it. It is a lot of dress that somehow behaves.

Start here if that kind of gown usually feels too plain on you.
