There is a quiet sophistication to this 1970s maxi dress that feels incredibly modern. Rendered in a soft sage green that fades gently into a cream ombré hem, it captures the era's love for fluid lines and ethereal detail.

The fabric appears to be a fluid jersey, offering both comfort and a beautiful drape. The design features a high neckline with an attached tie detail to add a touch of structure without stiffness. Long, fitted sleeves and a matching belt create a long, lean silhouette.

The skirt is the true highlight. Constructed with clever panelling, it skims the hips before flaring out gently to create movement as you walk. This cut is brilliant for creating length. It defines the waist while gliding over the lower body, making it a flattering choice if you want to highlight your middle while keeping a relaxed line through the legs.

Wear it with knee-high leather boots for a grounded autumnal look, or switch to ankle booties or heels to elevate the effect for evening. This is effortless, comfortable glamour.
