Description
The Rae Dress is a versatile and stylish garment, featuring forward side seams and a deep lantern hem that subtly shapes the knee-length, pull-on shift dress. The wide gathered neckline adds a touch of femininity to the design, while inseam pockets with topstitch detail provide both functionality and style. The dress is available in two variations: View A offers a sleek, sleeveless look with bound armholes, while View B features soft elbow-length sleeves with gathered hems. This versatility makes the Rae Dress a trans-seasonal piece that can be dressed up or down to suit any occasion. Whether worn on its own or layered with other garments, the Rae Dress is a timeless addition to any wardrobe.
