Dotted Foliage Midi Dress: Choose this if you want a sleeveless halter midi with a romantic, vintage-leaning feel: it pairs a plunging V-neck and wide open back with a fitted shirred waist and a flared, petal-shaped A-line skirt in a white dotted foliage print on brown. It is cut from 100% cotton poplin with a full cotton lining, made in Italy, and measures about 44 inches (111.5 cm) from the top of the bust. Note it requires gentle care—hand wash cold, no tumble dry, line dry in the shade—and the listed sizes run 36 through 42.[1,2,3,4,5,6]Textured Knit And Fringes Maxi Dress: Choose this if you want a black, long fit-and-flare knit dress with visible texture: it combines a fitted bodice and waist with an A-line skirt trimmed in horizontal and vertical fringe rows, a V-neckline with ribbed trim, and short sleeves. It is made of a stretch viscose-polyester blend (62% viscose, 38% polyester), includes a thin removable jersey lining, and measures 50 inches (127 centimeters) from the top of the shoulder, offered in X-Small through Large. Note that the open-knit band at the lower hem is semi-sheer, and while the listing calls it a maxi, some product images show it finishing at a midi length above the ankles.[7,8,9,10,11]
