Florence Maxi Dress

The Florence is a corset maxi cut from lace, and it belongs with the black tie dresses you actually keep. Lace can go heavy on a long silhouette; here it stays light and falls clean from the shoulder.

Corset work through the bodice holds its shape for a full evening, so nothing needs adjusting between the ceremony and the last song. The skirt runs to the floor with room to walk properly in it.

Wear it to a wedding, then wear it again somewhere quieter.
