Wearing the Gatsby silk maxi for a draped, flattering look
This maxi-length 100% silk dress is designed with pleating at the waist for a draped, flattering effect that Simons says enhances the silhouette. The fit-and-flare shape gives gentle shaping through the waist and upper hips, and the skirt falls straight with a slight outward flare at the hem. A fit for occasions when you want a flowy, draped look from the V-neck through the near-floor-length hem.[1,2]
A pure silk maxi dress for a soft feel against the skin
Made from 100% silk, this maxi dress is described by Simons as gliding over the skin with exquisite softness, thanks to its fluid drape. It suits anyone drawn to the gentle, skin-friendly feel of pure silk in a longer silhouette.[1]
