Purchase Protection & Refund Policy

An elegant Caroline Sills dress in deep navy, made in New Zealand from fluid 100% viscose. The silhouette is relaxed but beautifully considered. A softly draped crossover V-neckline creates gentle movement through the upper body, with subtle gathering over the shoulders that gives the neckline a flattering, almost Grecian softness. The waist is defined through a shaped seam before falling into an easy, fluid skirt with soft pleating through the front. The result is a dress that feels feminine without being fussy. It has movement, drape and softness, but the dark navy color keeps the overall look refined and sophisticated. The long sleeves have a relaxed shape through the arm and finish with softly gathered cuffs, adding just enough detail to balance the simplicity of the body. From the back, the dress has a clean rounded neckline and a gathered yoke detail. Made from 100% viscose, the fabric has a smooth, softly textured crepe-like hand and a fluid fall. It moves beautifully when worn and gives the dress an elegant, almost weightless quality. It is the kind of fabric that works especially well in a dress like this because it allows the pleats and gathering to fall naturally rather than looking stiff. The deep navy is softer than black but still polished enough for work, dinners, events or occasions, while the relaxed construction means it can also be dressed down very easily. For styling, keep the first look very clean: pair it with tan or black leather ankle boots, a structured coat and simple jewelry. The navy looks especially good against camel, chocolate brown and cream. For a more feminine evening look, wear it with heeled sandals or pointed pumps, a small clutch and delicate earrings. Because the dress already has beautiful movement through the neckline and skirt, it does not need much jewelry. It would also work beautifully with a long wool coat and knee-high boots in winter, or with flat sandals and an oversized woven bag during the warmer months.
