Viola Maxi Dress

The Viola sits at the easy end of summer cocktail dresses. Border printed tiers in soft pink and buttercream stack beneath a fitted bodice, each one edged with tiny trim and topped by a scalloped neckline.

Worth Knowing

• Tiersborder prints alternating pink and cream
• Bodicefitted, with a scalloped edge and fine straps
• Movementa full skirt that swings at every step

Paisley style borders give every tier its own rhythm, so the skirt looks hand collected rather than printed by the yard. Basket bag in July, boots in September, and it works more months than most.
