The Raissa Midi Dress combines an easy, relaxed silhouette with an elegant wrapped-waist detail. Designed with softly grown-on sleeves and a comfortable loose-fitting bodice, the dress is shaped at the waist by long ties that cross and drape across the front before fastening at the back.
The gathered folds created by the ties add flattering definition without making the dress feel restrictive.
Wear Raissa with flats for an effortless everyday look, or style it with heels and accessories for work, dinner or special occasions.
