THE TWISTED V DRESS

A dress that twists — deep through the neckline, gathered through the center, and fluid through the length.

Sleeveless midi dress with a deep V-neck. The front is twisted and gathered at the waist — a single knot twist that pulls the fabric and creates the drape, with a release into the skirt. Low scooped back, sleeveless, knee to mid-calf length, slightly flared at the hem. Worn over trousers as in photo, or alone as a dress.
