Flavia Maxi Dress - Black

Black, floor-length and fastened up the back, the Flavia Maxi Dress keeps its construction out of sight.

The neckline is round and unfussy. The sleeve is handled as a strapless detail, so the shoulders stay bare while the top holds its own line, and the back closes with buttons. There is nothing to zip: the dress pulls on. It runs to maxi length in rayon and comes lined, which is what keeps a relaxed shape from going shapeless.

It moves easily between a party and a weekend that turns into one, from brunch that runs long to an evening out afterwards. Because the dress is plain in the best sense, it will take a bolder shoe or a bright bag without arguing. One of those, not both, and the outfit is finished.
