• All-over lace with a fine, open-worked floral pattern that sits over a fitted lining - the contrast between the two layers gives the dress its depth and dimension.
• Structured corset bodice with a scalloped lace trim along the cups, holding its shape without feeling stiff.
• Thin adjustable shoulder straps keep the neckline low and square, sitting cleanly across the chest without gaping.
• The skirt falls straight to the floor, grazing the ankle with a raw scalloped lace hem that moves with each step.
• Fitted through the waist and hip, the dress skims the body rather than clinging - the maxi length doing the work of making it feel considered rather than overdressed.

This dress pulls its weight in a wardrobe built around going out - it works as a standalone piece that needs very little added to it. The lace over lining combination means it reads as dressed-up without leaning into anything overly fussy. Pair it as the model does, with barely-there strappy heeled sandals that let the scalloped hem sit as the focal point at the floor. A small structured clutch keeps the look tight and intentional. It's the kind of dress that suits a late dinner, a bar with low lighting, or a birthday night out where you want to arrive and not think about your outfit again. Skip the jewellery at the neckline - the lace cup detail already draws the eye - and instead opt for small earrings that sit close to the ear. Keep hair down or loosely pulled back to show off the strap detail across the shoulder.
