Lace-Bodice Belted Maxi Dress

A one-piece maxi in two studies of contrast — a fitted mock-neck floral lace bodice that skims the frame, opening into a high-waisted khaki twill skirt with deep pleats for fluid movement. A slim covered-buckle belt refines the waist.

A note from the designer

The contrast between the two fabrics was the structural decision — lace through the bodice for transparency, khaki twill through the skirt for weight. The transition at the waist is where the silhouette either holds or breaks. The covered-buckle belt isn't decoration; it's the seam that makes both fabrics read as one piece.
