Elsie maxi dress

The top works through contrast: a deep, elongated neckline keeps the front neat, while the tie at the neck leaves the shoulders bare and highlights the nape line. The fabric falls smoothly over the bust, then moves into softly gathered ruching at the waist and hips.

The back stays open above the back line, with long ties fastened at the neck. The lower part skims close to the body and only flares lower down, creating an elongated, streamlined silhouette.
