Why It Works
Contrast cording seams do the work of a belt, creating structured shape without any extra effort.
- Horizontal cording panels through the bodice and skirt create visual definition and a tailored silhouette without added hardware or accessories.
- The square neckline and midi length make it appropriate for formal client events, cocktail receptions, and professional lunches without over-dressing.
- The ivory floral on sand colorway reads neutral enough to pair with existing gold or nude accessories already in the wardrobe.

Fit Logic
- Silhouette: Structured A-line silhouette with a fitted square-neck bodice and gently flared skirt that falls to midi length, approximately below the knee and above the ankle. Horizontal cording seams create a panelled effect through the torso and skirt.
- Best For: Works well on a range of body types due to the A-line flare, which skims through the hip and thigh. The defined bodice panels suit those who prefer shape without a clingy fit. Midi length flatters average to tall heights most cleanly.
- Styling Tip: Pair with a pointed-toe kitten heel in nude or gold to extend the leg line under the midi hem without competing with the floral print.
Care Notes
- Fabric: 98% Polyester, 2% Elastane
- Washing: Dry clean only
- Drying: Do not machine dry — lay flat or hang after dry cleaning
- Ironing: Low heat if needed; test on an inconspicuous area first given the contrast cording detail
- Special Notes: Contrast cording trims and panelled seams are best preserved with professional dry cleaning to maintain shape and definition
