Why it's worth it
Fitted top, gathered cotton skirt, one buckle — the contrast is sewn right in.
The Edit
Two fabrics, one silhouette: a fitted 95% polyester crepe-knit bodice transitions at the drop waist into a gathered 100% cotton midi skirt with a centre-front seam. The halter neck fastens with a visible silver-tone buckle hardware closure — the dress's single deliberate hardware moment. Dry-clean-only construction and a form-fitting upper recommend sizing up if between sizes.
Insider Tip
The bodice is polyester knit, not cotton — it holds its shape but won't breathe like the skirt below it. For warm-weather wear, the skirt will carry you; factor that into your destination packing.
