The Long Dress
the form
Simple a line dress built for your endless summer.
The long dress is a dead simple a-line maxi dress made in mid weight cotton twill. But of course getting a simple thing right is often harder than it looks and this form went through several rounds of development to eliminate all unnecessary details like darts and top stitching so it could be an ideal canvas for our work. This well balanced, modest dress is an almost perfect distillation of the Mu’umu’u spirit - fun, comfortable, simple, with an elegant bateau neckline. The full length, unbroken expanse allows our prints to shine. Inspired by classic 1960 and 1970s dresses, this dress easily moves between casual settings and work without skipping a beat. |
