Trace – Black Linen Halter Dress

Black Linen Maxi Dress – Pleated Designer Halter Gown

AU$560

Description

Exclusively made in our Australian Atelier, meet the “Trace Dress” – This black linen maxi dress is a flowy tribute to movement. Crafted from breathable midweight linen, its halter neck silhouette is brought to life through piped hand-pleated detailing that cascades from top to floor. While still, the pleats fall in clean, architectural lines—but with movement or gentle scrunching, they ripple and curl into soft, bouncing swirls. Two side slits offer a touch of allure, while a charming back tie with golden detailing comfortably cinches the sides to contour the body. This designer linen gown is ideal for summer occasions, resort settings, or elevated evenings that call for something statement worthy.
