A formal maxi dress that splits its construction across two fabrics: a structured bustier-style bodice and matte jersey skirt in one material, and sheer floral lace from the shoulder through the full sleeve in another. The junction between the two sits at the sweetheart neckline, finished with a scalloped lace trim and a small tie at the centre front. The bodice is boned or reinforced through the chest to hold the sweetheart shape without straps, while the lace sleeves extend to the wrist with a scalloped cuff to match.
The skirt is a clean column through the hip and thigh before opening into a slight fishtail flare at the hem, with a high front split that starts at the upper thigh. The split gives the dress movement and allows a full stride without disrupting the fitted silhouette from the front. Floor length, minimal hardware, no visible closures at the front — the back closure keeps the front panel uninterrupted.
Wear with strappy heeled sandals or pointed courts — the front split and floor-length hem work best with a heel. Keep jewellery to drop earrings only; the lace sleeves and bustier neckline carry the upper body without additional decoration. A sleek updo complements the clean lines of the bodice.

Please note: Our sizes are estimates and run smaller than standard AU. We recommend sizing up 1-2 from your usual to ensure the correct fit.
S (AU 4–6): Bust 67–71cm, Waist 60–64cm, Hip 80–84cm, Sleeve 68cm, Length 124.5cm
M (AU 6): Bust 71–75cm, Waist 64–68cm, Hip 84–88cm, Sleeve 69cm, Length 125.5cm

Bust, waist, and hip are garment flat measurements. This dress has a
structured bustier bodice with minimal stretch — fit through the chest
and waist is close. Measurements run small; customers who typically wear
AU 10 and above are unlikely to be accommodated by this size run. If you
are between sizes, size up. Length is full garment length from shoulder
to hem. Manual measurements may vary by 1–2cm.
