*All size are AU

Rendered in a midnight black hue, this designer kaftan dress is defined by an intricate arrangement of hand-pleated detailing, evoking the delicate coral formations of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Cut from fully opaque, organic Japanese linen, it holds a beautifully structured sleeve and neckline, while cascading into a fluid, free-flowing drape from the torso downward. A discreet internal belt tie cinches the waist from the back, lending subtle shape and a softly fitted feel. In motion, the meticulously elasticated pleats swirl and ripple with a gentle, mesmerizing bounce. Its contemporary silhouette pairs effortlessly with boots or heels, offering versatility for both elevated occasions and relaxed, interseason wear.
