Discover the perfect blend of artisanal beauty and modern comfort with this stunning, floor-length sleeveless maxi dress. Handcrafted from premium, authentic Ankara cotton, the fabric features a sophisticated multi-tonal backdrop of muted indigo-grey and soft lavender, intricately detailed with a rich burgundy-red and black trailing vine and leaf motif. The standout design element is the fully smocked, elasticated bodice, which provides an incredibly flexible, flattering, and comfortable fit that effortlessly hugs your curves before meeting a high, defined waistline. The dress then falls into a sweeping, tiered A-line maxi skirt featuring a dramatically gathered bottom panel that adds gorgeous volume and fluid movement to your stride. Exuding a relaxed yet highly polished look, this versatile piece is perfect for sophisticated garden parties, upscale weekend brunches, high-end resort wear, family celebrations, elegant maternity styling, and chic daytime gatherings.
Custom Measurements Required
While the elasticated smocked bodice offers a highly flexible and forgiving fit, providing these precise measurements will help ensure the perfect custom length and proportion:
Bust: Around the fullest part of your chest.
Waist: Around the narrowest part of your natural waistline.
Shoulder Width: Across the back from the edge of one shoulder to the other.
Shoulder to Waist: From the top of your shoulder down to your natural waistline (where the smocking finishes and the skirt gathers begin).
Gown Length: From the top of your shoulder down to the floor (please factor in the height of your preferred sandals, wedges, or heels).
