Off White Tulle Tiered Maxi Dress

An off white maxi dress built from tiers of ruffled tulle, tied closed at a square neckline.

Tulle is what gives the skirt its volume: the tiers drop one below the next and stand away from the leg rather than falling flat. At the top, the square neckline closes with a tie, and thin elasticised straps carry ruffle detail across the shoulder. A cut out opens the front of the bust, and a shirred elasticised waistband draws everything in at the middle. There is no zip, since the dress pulls on. It is lined.

This is a dress for an occasion where being photographed is part of the plan: a party, a celebration, an evening that has been organised around itself. The skirt takes up room, so keep the shoes simple and the bag small. Wear the hair up and let the off white maxi dress be the entire outfit.
