A stand collar and button front placket give this velvet maxi dress a structured, vintage-inspired line through the bodice. The fitted waist meets a pleated A-line skirt that releases into a high front split, creating movement with every step. Slight stretch in the fabric keeps the slim silhouette close through the torso before the skirt flows to a mid-calf hem. It layers easily for evening plans or cooler weather with its long fitted sleeves.
