Formal evening dresses were often fitted, low cut and/or backless, hugging the slim figures that were all the rage
Maxi dresses are effortless, simple to style, and versatile enough for nearly every warm-weather plan on your calendar, including beach vacations, backyard barbecues, office days, and cruises
Cut: mermaid style
I think many celebrities are tapping into that sensibility, and understand that the opportunity to showcase (a piece of art) is sort of amazing
The ruffle sleeves bring flirty volume and movement, while the full button down front offers versatile styling options (wear fully buttoned or open as a jacket)
For that reason, I prefer to make things like this in smaller batches
