Blue & Black Printed Dress

A fit-and-flare dress in light blue satin printed with a dense black art-deco floral and bird motif. Short cap sleeves and a round neckline are finished with black piping, and the same black trim runs along the natural waist, where the dress ties at the back to close and shape.

Satin holds a crisp line and takes photographs well under flash or daylight, so the print stays legible and the skirt keeps its shape rather than crushing during a receiving line or a long reception. The back-tie waist adjusts across a small range, useful if she is between sizes or the dress is meant to be handed down to a younger sibling later.

The tailored silhouette and dark, graphic print suit birthdays, weddings and other formal family occasions where a more grown-up print is wanted rather than a solid pastel.

Fully lined in satin with a zippered back and adjustable back-tie waistline. Made in the United States from imported materials.
