Description

Andie is a partially contoured dress with a sleek, straight profile and a circular neckline. For sizes 42–52, bust darts provide a tailored fit. The dress showcases a folded collar, a sturdy collar stand, and a discreet henley placket secured by concealed set-in snaps. Its long, form-fitting set-in sleeves come with practical thumbholes, and the side seams feature elegant slits. Andie gracefully falls to ankle length.
