Garment features
Easy dressing. Step in or over head.
Adjustable V neckline depth. Hook and eye fastening or magnetic closures on request.
Fabric ties control garment drape.
Comfort. Super soft. Made from 100% silk. Sourced from The Fabric Store.
Free sizing, if your weight fluctuates this dress will still flatter (S/M fits sizes 6-14; M/L fits sizes 16-18).
The silhouette is constructed with precision and is designed so that it can be worn in many different silhouettes. The centre front has a v neckline, this depth can be easily adjusted, closed to give a boat neckline, or opened and folded out to create a collar. You can also completely flip the garment wearing the “back” as the “front.”
Neckline variations (same dress, worn in 5 ways):
The skirt ties can be twisted and tied behind to accentuate an hourglass form, with Marilyn inspired drape; or pulled back directly, which creates a smooth fall over the waist and hip. The ties can also be tied loosely at the front, this creates beautiful vertical drape.
Love a low back? Flip the design and you will have a simple elegant silhouette at front, and a plunging V and gathers behind. Paula is versatile and the epitome of luxury, made from 100% silk with French seams within.
