Description
The Aida Dress is a midi-length style with bold colour-blocked panels that create a beautifully sculpted silhouette. Designed with a gentle flare and semi-fitted shape, it includes bust darts for a flattering fit. This sleeveless piece slips on effortlessly thanks to its wide neckline, while contrast binding adds a striking finish to the neckline and armholes. A narrow hem completes the asymmetric edge, making this a distinctive and contemporary design.
