Description
Elodie is a contemporary version of a traditional wrap dress. It is a romantic and flowing dress with a variety of skirt and sleeve options, suitable for both a picnic in the park and a special wedding.
The bodice of Elodie is softly flowing and features release pleats under the bust and a dolman-style sleeve. You can select either a short sleeve or a longer, more formal option that ends at the elbow. The skirt is swishy and voluminous and comes in three lengths: above the knee, midi, or maxi, with optional patch pockets.
Suggested Fabrics
Light to medium weight wovens such as linen, cotton poplin, batiste, voile and chambray will have a more casual feel. or a drapey woven such as silk, viscose, tencel or rayon challis for a more elegant, fluid effect.
