Jovie Maxi Dress - Starlight Bronze

A metallic ombre means the colour shifts as the dress moves, and on the Jovie Maxi Dress the plisse pleating makes certain it is always moving. The pleating runs through an A-line skirt, so the surface catches light at a slightly different angle with every step. A V-neckline opens the top, long sleeves finish at elasticised cuffs, and the waist is ruched with a functional button detail that decides where the shaping sits. An invisible side zip closes it. The body is lined while the sleeves are left unlined. This is a dress for an occasion with a photographer somewhere in the room. The shine is built into the fabric rather than applied on top of it, which is the difference between a dress that glows and one that merely glitters. Wear it to a winter wedding, a formal party, a dinner on the last night of the year.
