Design Details:

• Neckline & Sleeves:
  The softly gathered square neckline adds a romantic touch, while the elasticated short puff sleeves give you styling versatility — wear them on the shoulders for a classic look or off-shoulder for a more relaxed, boho feel.

• Flattering Empire Waist:
  The dress is designed with an empire waistline that sits just above the natural waist, creating a flowing silhouette that flatters a wide range of body types. It’s ideal for curvier figures and those who prefer a more modest yet feminine shape.
