For the dinner that began at sundown and ended somewhere past the second bottle.

Halter maxi with a soft V-neckline, low backless cut and a self-tie bow at the waist. Tiered A-line skirt with a quiet drape, ankle-skimming hem — made to move with you across a terrace.

Styled with

Bare shoulders. Hair loose. Gold at the wrist. Nothing else needed.

Product Details

Halter maxi with a soft V-neckline, low backless cut and a self-tie bow at the waist — tiered A-line skirt with a quiet drape, made for golden-hour terraces and slow evening goodbyes.

  • Halter neckline with self-tie at the nape
  • Soft V-neck front, low backless cut
  • Self-tie bow at the waist
  • Tiered A-line skirt with drape
  • Ankle-skimming maxi length
  • Suede-touch lightweight construction

Perfect for:

  • golden-hour dinners
  • terrace evenings
  • holiday rehearsals
  • warm-weather city nights
  • seaside parties

Design & Aesthetic

Inspired by Sicilian evenings — bougainvillea spilling over stone walls, the slow blue hour after the sun drops behind Etna.

The silhouette feels:

  • sensual
  • quietly dressed
  • romantic without effort
  • cinematic at any hour

The halter draws the eye up. The backless cut keeps it bare. The tiers carry the breeze.

Pairs beautifully with:

  • a low gold heel or flat sandal
  • a long thin necklace, or nothing at all
  • loose hair pushed off the shoulders
  • warm sun-touched skin

Length & Silhouette

Designed for an elongated line and soft tiered movement.

  • Maxi length — ankle-skimming
  • Halter top with self-tie at the nape
  • Soft V at the front, low cut at the back
  • Self-tie bow at the waist for definition
  • Tiered A-line skirt with drape and vuelo

Size guide

Soft elastic waist — designed to skim, not cling. Measurements taken on the dress laid flat (cm).

  • S — Waist 69 cm · Length 122 cm
  • M — Waist 73 cm · Length 123 cm
  • L — Waist 79 cm · Length 124 cm
  • XL — Waist 85 cm · Length 125 cm

Length is measured from the back of the neck to the hem.

Fit guide: true to size — choose your usual. Between sizes? Size down for a more fitted silhouette, up for a softer drape.

Manual measurements, please allow 2–3 cm tolerance.

Materials

Crafted in a soft suede-touch handfeel — lightweight, drapey, made for warm-weather wear.

  • 100% suede-touch polyester
  • Lightweight drape with soft body
  • Smooth interior finish
  • Carefully constructed seams
  • Free from high-concern chemicals

Light enough for the hottest day, fluid enough to wear into the night.

Styling Notes

Pairs beautifully with:

  • a flat tan sandal or a low gold heel
  • a small woven clutch
  • a long thin gold chain — or nothing
  • loose hair, pushed off one shoulder
  • a linen wrap over the bare back at midnight

The kind of dress that doesn’t need anything else — though a glass of something cold helps.

Fit & Comfort

Designed for true-to-size, easy summer wear.

  • Halter top adjusts at the nape for fit
  • Elastic waist for soft comfort
  • True to size — choose your usual
  • Tiered skirt skims rather than clings

Made for the kind of dinner that turns into a longer night.

Occasion

Perfect for:

  • golden-hour dinners on a terrace
  • rehearsal nights and rooftop drinks
  • warm-weather city evenings
  • seaside parties
  • slow Sunday lunches that linger

The going-out dress for the warmest months of the year.

Care Guide

To preserve the beauty of your dress:

  • Hand wash or delicate machine cycle, cold
  • Hang to dry — never tumble
  • Iron on low if needed, on the reverse
  • Store hanging in a cool dry place

Worn — loved

What our women say.

The dress, the way it feels, the places it has been.

My golden-hour dress

Bought the ivory for a rehearsal dinner in Sicily and ended up wearing it three nights in a row. The back is the detail people notice — the bow sits exactly where it should.

The sage is everything

I almost ordered the ivory and changed my mind at the last minute. The sage is softer in person — reads almost dusty olive in daylight. Wore it to a long lunch in Cap Ferrat and into the evening without changing.

Bigger than expected — in the best way

I'm 1.62m and the red is bold — the tiers add real drama at the hem. Sized down to S and the halter ties beautifully. The only thing: bring a small wrap for after dark.
