Somewhere between a goddess gown and a whisper, this Erica-Loren New York nightgown in the softest wash of lavende is the epitome of the seventies. The silhouette is empire in spirit, with a deep V-front, delicate self-tie bow at the centre bust, and double spaghetti straps that lend the shoulders a bare, unencumbered elegance. The fabric, a soft nylon blend with gentle stretch, moves with an instictive fluid ease. Cut with a sweeping A-line skirt and a low V at the back, this is a piece that lives beautifully in motion.
Worn as eveningwear or styled with strappy sandals and gold jewellery, this gown is quiet glamour. The empire waistline, defined by a gathered elastic band, sits high beneath the bust to lengthen the body from waist to floor. The A-line skirt adds generous volume through the hip and thigh, making it particularly flattering for those who like volume below a defined bust. The deep neckline draws the eye upward, and the bare back adds drama. A denim jacket and long slip underneath takes it effortlessly out of the bedroom and into the world.
