Meet the Octavia — the dress that arrives with its own dress code. Semi-sheer floral lace runs from the high neckline to the floor, wrapped with contrast banding that crosses the bodice, waist and hips. Long fitted sleeves finish in matching gloves, and a high split breaks the column skirt at the leg. An invisible zip at the back keeps the lines unbroken. Made for evening events, galas, winter formals, Valentine's dinners and entrances people talk about after.
