Description
The Magnolia Dress is sure to be a showstopper (while still being comfortable and easy to wear, the Deer&Doe trademark!) With its statuesque silhouette and killer neckline, the maxi length is ideal for formal events; the long skirt length and sleeves balance the depth of the mock-wrap neckline, and a slit adds interest and movement to the ample skirt. The shorter version is more casual and flirty with a unique butterfly sleeve and higher neckline. Both versions feature a bodice with princess seams, a structured waist, back tie, invisible zipper in the side seam, and flared + paneled skirt.
- Version A is maxi length with a low-cut bust and a long set-in sleeve.
- Version B is above knee length with a higher-cut neckline and fluttery butterfly sleeve.
