Size Guide

A Maxi Dress That Defines the Waist With a High Slit

This maxi dress is cut for evening occasions, with a seamed, corset-style bodice and a skirt that falls to the ankle. The high front slit lets the gathered skirt move freely with every step while the fitted bodice shapes the waist.

Design Notes

  • Corset-Seamed Bodice
    Vertical seams run down the fitted bodice, giving the top a structured, sculpted look that defines the waist and follows the body closely.
  • Asymmetric Waist Panel
    A diagonal panel sweeps across the hips and joins the skirt, creating a shaped line that follows the body and gently flatters.
  • Floor-Skimming Coverage
    The skirt falls to the ankle, while a square neckline and wide straps cover the shoulders and frame the collarbone neatly.
  • High Slit Movement
    A high front slit opens the gathered skirt as she walks, adding fluid movement and easy stride without losing the long line.

She might wear it with slim gold sandals and sculptural earrings to a dinner reception, then with a sleek clutch and a fine bracelet to a winter-free gala evening. The slit and gathered skirt let her move freely while the sculpted bodice keeps its line all night.
