Theodora Mini Dress

The Theodora keeps its list of ideas shorter than most cocktail dresses: cotton, a v neck and a mini hem. The fabric has enough weight to fall properly and enough give to sit down in, which is what makes it wearable for a whole evening.

There is a clean neckline above and a short length below, with nothing fighting in between. That restraint is why it works on more nights than it should.

Most try harder and land softer.
