Raphael Blue Tiered Maxi Dress, Tie Straps

The Raphael keeps summer's paperwork simple — one blue maxi, pulled on over the head, tiered from the waist down and finished before your coffee cools.

The scoop neckline is held by straps that close with ties, adjustable by knot rather than slider. A shirred bodice stretches to fit, and the tiered, layered skirt design does the visual work, stacking volume that moves with every step. Pull-on design, fully lined, zero hardware to fight with.

Blue at this length reads coastal without a single anchor motif. Flat sandals and a canvas bag walk it through daytime; a wedge and shell jewellery carry it to an outdoor dinner. It is the dress that gets packed for every trip and worn the first day — statement-making, as promised, with none of the ceremony.
