Violette Bubble Hem Maxi Dress

$490$820−40%

Available sizes 6 10 12 14 16

Why it's worth it

Black-and-white colorblock that reads like a real gown, not a dress trying to be one.

The Edit

Strapless gown with a ruched, internally boned white bodice meeting a gathered black skirt in a stiff, taffeta-weight fabric. The asymmetric bubble hem creates dramatic volume at the back while lifting at the front, secured by a back zip and hook-and-eye closure. Fully lined throughout.

Insider Tip

The bubble hem adds serious volume at the back — account for that in tight venue seating.
