Ginevra Plisse Halter Maxi Dress - Black

Black, long, and almost weightless — the Ginevra is the dress for evenings when you want to be dressed up without carrying anything heavy around all night. It is made in plisse, a light material that falls in fine vertical folds and drapes rather than holds a shape. The neckline is a halterneck, so the shoulders and upper back are left open, and the dress is sleeveless from there down. It runs to maxi length and is unlined, which is what keeps the whole thing so light on the body. Since plisse moves, this is a dress that looks best when you are in motion, and it packs down to nothing if the evening involves getting somewhere first. The open shoulders want either bare skin or a wrap you can drop; earrings can be as long as you like. Cocktails, a summer evening that runs late, any invitation where standing up is the main activity.
