The ultimate occasion dress, the Paola takes the rebellious attitude of 90s grunge and gives it a feminine, grown-up spin. Crafted in a moody, abstract floral print and finished with delicate black lace detailing, it's a floor-skimming slip with delicate, criss-crossing straps and a daringly low-cut back.
Our dresses are designed long to suit all heights and can be shortened as required.
- Cross back spaghetti strap detail
