• Intricate laser-cut lace cap sleeves extend across the shoulder into a notched neckline, creating a decorative yoke that draws the eye upward
• The scuba fabric holds its shape through the bodice and skirt, sitting smoothly against the body without pulling or creasing as you move
• A defined seam at the natural waist anchors the silhouette, giving the pencil skirt a clean, structured drop to midi length
• The lining moves with the skirt, allowing a confident stride without the fabric riding or restricting
• Midi hemline falls just below the knee - long enough for formal settings, short enough to wear with a heel without the proportions feeling heavy

The lace detailing on this dress does the work that a statement necklace usually would. Because it sits across the shoulders and frames the neckline, there's no need to add anything at the throat - pearl or drop earrings, as seen on the model, are all the jewellery this dress calls for. The scuba body is firm enough to hold a polished line from shoulder to hem all day, making it a reliable choice for occasions where you need to look put-together from the ceremony through to the evening. Wear it to a wedding as a guest, to the races, or to a formal graduation event. Strappy heeled sandals keep the silhouette long and uninterrupted. If the weather calls for a layer, a tailored blazer or structured wrap sits neatly over the lace sleeves without disturbing the shoulder detail.
