Lorelei Ball Maxi Dress

The Lorelei is a powder blue formal dress with the romance turned up full. A deep ruffle frames the neckline and drapes off the shoulders, slim straps keep it secure, and the skirt opens into a sweeping floor length A-line.

Layer upon layer of lightness means it moves wide on every turn, and it photographs like a fairytale without looking like fancy dress. Soft and grand at once is a difficult balance to strike.

For prom or a formal evening, this is the one people describe later.
