Bellorna Midi Dress - Navy

Navy does a particular job at a wedding: it lets you be properly dressed without pulling the room's attention off the people who booked it. The Bellorna is cut for exactly that. The neckline is round and sits close to the base of the throat, with short sleeves that cover the shoulder and leave the arm free. A line of buttons runs down the front purely as a detail — they do not open — and a split at the front hem releases the skirt as you walk. Round the back, a neck opening fastens with a button and an invisible zip runs beneath it. The satin has a soft feel to it, and the dress is lined. Midi length puts the hem at the most forgiving point of the leg, so the shoe can be anything you already own and trust. Keep jewellery small, since the buttons are already doing decorative work. Ceremony, photographs, sit-down dinner, and whatever happens after the speeches.
